ArcGIS Pro

Explore ArcGIS Pro resources such as tutorials, videos, documentation, instructor-led classes & more. Find answers, build expertise and connect with the ArcGIS Pro community.

Despite its strengths, ArcGIS Pro does have some limitations. The high licensing cost can be a significant barrier, particularly for smaller organisations or individual users. Project files can become bulky, which may affect performance and storage. MXD file conversions often result in missing objects, which can complicate transitions from older versions of ArcGIS. License management is conducted through ArcGIS Pro, adding another layer of complexity. Additionally, the software has a steep learning curve, requiring substantial time and effort to master its extensive features and capabilities.

QGIS

Spatial visualization and decision-making tools for everyone

QGIS stands as one of the most significant community-driven efforts in the history of GIS, showcasing the power of open-source innovation. QGIS 2 set a high standard, and full support has now shifted to QGIS 3, continuing its legacy of excellence. Despite being completely open-source, QGIS rivals the best commercial GIS software with its extensive features.

ArcGIS Explorer Desktop Landing Page

ArcGIS Explorer Desktop

ArcGIS Explorer Desktop is a free, downloadable GIS viewer that gives you an easy way to explore, visualize, and share GIS information.

However, ArcGIS Desktop comes with some challenges. The high usage and maintenance cost can be a significant barrier, and its tiered licensing may limit access to essential tools for basic users. Interoperability is another area where it falls short, and the software is gradually being phased out in favour of ArcGIS Pro. Additionally, ArcCatalog operates as a 32-bit application, which can limit performance.
