Highly reliable and adaptable, and their support is brilliant
On the whole, the solution is stable. I rate ESRI ArcGIS' stability a seven out of ten. I rate it a seven because they've moved to cloud-based technology, and if we've got a slow network, ArcPro could take forever to load up. That is a real pain. I had a meeting this morning, and we waited half an hour for ArcPro to open. But ArcMap, in the old days, would open in about five seconds. The solution is stable, but it can be really slow. If you do some extreme analysis, I'm working on between 30 million and 1.7 billion rows of data for the whole UK, and ArcGIS doesn't like it very much. I'm using an alternative because ArcPro would take hours and hours to do it.

What needs improvement with ESRI ArcGIS?
The technical help documentation could be improved. One of the biggest complaints within the GIS community is that, while they do have lots of documentation, it's a bit rubbish. Sometimes, we want ...
