Opiniones de ArcGIS

La creación de mapas, polígonos, muestreo de árboles...

El zoom de las imágenes satelitales hay que mejorar.

Todas las características son buenas y funcionales

Si alto costo para realizar el más sencillos de los proyectos. Existen software más económicos y que hacen la misma tarea y hasta más eficientes

Software para expertos en temas geograficos, con muchas ayudas en temas cartograficos y mapeo de variables de todo tipo.

Software de alto costo para compañias pequeñas.

Es muy útil para un sin finde tareas y proyectos, lo que me fascina que se convierte en toda una base de datos caeda archivo o grupos de archivos y proyectos.

con las nuevas versiones las herramientas cambian de lugar, de comandos, de nombre, etc.

Si buena funcionalidad y facilidad ya que se puede contar también con arcmap

Que es un software muy pesado y manejar dos a la vez no es recomendable

el programa tiene varias herramientas intuitivas que ayudan al usuario a desarrollar con mayor facilidad el uso del programa

deberia de ser mas facil de instalar para que todos los usuarios lo puedan hacer facilmente

Me gusta mucho su API javascript para el desarrollo de mapas webMe gusta sus algoritmos ya listos para el procesamiento de datos

Me gustaría que hubiera tutoriales más explícitos para usar algunas funciones

Tiene todas las funciones para realizar un sistema de información geográfica conoketo

El costo comparado con otros software como Mappinfo y Qgis que es gratuito y el precio de Argis es muy elevado

Built using standards such as COM, XML, and SQL, ArcGIS can be easily integrated with the structure of the information system and data of any organization or individual. Given that GIS extends to new applications and new user communities, ArcGIS also solves the challenges of offering and receiving data and related GIS services to users around the world. The versatility and easy to use allows ArcGIS to be used in a variety of areas: from land cadastre, geodesy, cartography, geography, and telecommunications, to geology, ecology, management of water resources and subsoil, oil and gas industry, and even remote sensing. Its technology of Geodatabase allows you to effectively store heterogeneous data and easily use them in complex projects and systems. In the geodatabase, users can define rules and relationships within the repository that define the behavior of spatially interconnected geographic (or geological) objects and object classes and ensure data integrity. With the help of ArcGIS it is possible to prepare qualitative cartographic products with all necessary elements of marginal design. Also, you can quickly create a realistic virtual 3D scene based on spatial data, using digital terrain models. With a lot of possibilities for processing of both raster and vector data, and its strong functions for map algebra, editing, and spatial analysis, together with the latest data models and control make the ArcGIS family of software products ones of the leaders among GIS software.

I have been using ArcGIS for almost 10 years and I can testify that this software is difficult to study, a very complex program for a simple user, the program is only for those who take the professional level, so, to exploit the full potential of ArcGIS (for example processing of multispectral and hyperspectral images, geostatistical studies and so on) you need to dedicate time, endless hours of study. Other con that I see, is the high price taking into account the purchase of any additional modules, it is a very expensive program, but, once and again, the potential is almost limitless once you get to dominate all its functionalities.

This is one of the best in the industry, and is a niche product.

It is very robust and performs mapping well. There are alot of modules and it takes time to really learn the system.

If you are not computer savvy and don't take the time and effort required to learn the software, you won't like it. The usability has a lot to desire as things are hidden deep inside of menus. I think overall the software is expensive and bloated. You may only use 25% of the product. The KISS principle is lost on this.

Interfaces with GPS units for easy data collection and importing. Online maps enable you to see what is being collected in near real-time. Near infinite options on how to present and display data.

Cannot interface with total station for data collection (from what I can tell). Occasional software crash with no auto-save.

Advanced spatial analysis tools, including mapping, decision support and modeling.Integration with a wide variety of data sources, including satellite imagery, demographic information and remote sensing data.Ability to share information and collaborate with other teams and organizations, thanks to its cloud-based platform.Wide range of applications and features, including mobile apps, visualization tools and data management solutions.

There may be a high cost for implementation and use, depending on organizational needs.There may be a learning curve for novice users, especially with regards to more advanced tools.Integration with other systems may be complex and require additional effort.

ArcGIS has many great functions, even for new GIS users. I was able to start mapping immediately and use some really great tools such as Survey123. The user interfaces make the software easy to learn but it also has plenty of technical features for more advanced users.

ArcGIS has many different components and can feel overwhelming at first. The sheer number of options on the web mapping can be confusing but a quick google search is usually helpful in figuring those out.

Resolution of produced maps especially in Climate changes

Flexible to options access and do not need a lot experience

It's the easiest way to visualise data by geography and the options allow you to customise the maps to suit your organisation and ensure that you stick to best practice in terms of colour schemes etc.

When we first used ArcGIS there weren't many alternatives out there but things have changed and although I still think ArcGIS delivers the best features, I can see how some would opt for cheaper alternatives.

We are in front of the best GIS in the market ARCgis do anything you want to do in special analysis. With this software you can build maps, editaed, analyze raster data, make models, 3d models, terrain models, simulations, Geodesign, and so many other things. This software has incorporated the biggest data of datum and coordinates system of the world, you can virtually use ARCgis in any part of the world, and with great precision. Since the version 9.3 ESRI has incorporated the Imagery tool, that it is a layer that with internet connection allows you to have satellite images of any location of the world, it is very useful to analyze change in the enviroment and urbanization changes. ARCgis has everything, virtually everything that a people who work with maps needs, does not have comparison.

The main limitation of ARCgis it is the cost, it is a very expensive software that a little company or businees cannot afford. This a very useful tool but the cost does not allows to some people uses their potential for the spatial analysis. In some countries they offer educational licenses who help the students to know the software and work with some tools, this can be palliative for all that people who wants to work with the software but cannot afford.
