    I'm very grateful to be able to use it, and I have a master's degree with a focus in Geospatial Analysis. There can be a bit of a learning curve, and I try to build user-friendly ways for volunteers to see & collect data. Meanwhile, if a colleague is less confident with building such a system, it may be more difficult for them to implement.

    As I mention throughout the review, Oasis montaj shines both for processing and visualizing data while working with gravimetric data . It's 2D and 3D geologic basement models can be really detailed and, depending on the interpreter, can be really accurate. Plus, they can serve as an excellent tool for oil exploration when integrating them with seismic and well log information. Since it is an expensive software, small companies or universities with low budgets would be better using other programming tools.

    Pros
    Esri
    • Enterprise GIS - multi-user, multi-versioned geodatabase access through a host of apps and web tools really help people stay connected to data.
    • Cartography - fantastic control and customization available with the ability to automate workflows.
    • Training - tons of training videos, seminars, and other learning materials are easily accessed. The help documentation is superb.
    • Ability to manage an organization through dashboards is extremely helpful.

    • Geological basement modeling both in 2D and in 3D.
    • Processing and quality control on geophysical, geochemical and geological data.
    • Data both in the database or uploaded is provided through a spreadsheet and an integrated profile display window, so it is extremely easy to visualize the information or modify it.

    Cons
    Esri
    • There is a steep learning curve for ArcGIS users.
    • It takes a lot of computing power for ArcGIS, as it can't be installed on every computer.
    • At times, tools can be outdated and there are many similar competitors making more web-based tools that can replace ArcGIS.

    • The learning curve can be a little steep at first.
    • It is an expensive software, so there are several alternative options that require more programming but are cheaper or free.
    • It requires lots of processing power for it to work smoothly.

    Simply because the program deserves it. It seems to me that it is a fundamental tool for the storage, analysis, and interpretation of medium and large-scale phenomena, unmanageable with traditional engineering software. Its versatility in the handling of the different "layers" with which the data is handled and interpolation tools, make this software a powerful ally both for companies and for the educational part of the universities.

    Usability
    Esri
    Once set up, the tools are extremely easy to use. I had a staff member develop a tool for field data collection, that included an external and internal dashboards to monitor progress in days. The field workers that collected the data, barely knew how to use a computer, and within minutes they could use the application that was configured for them.

    Unlike other platforms (ex: EMSI), there is no "help desk" new users can easily call into for troubleshooting or errors, and so you have to spend LOTS of time trying workarounds. This is also because the help center blog posts are usually pretty confusing, and many times do not include images or videos to help you along. Any such changes would be immensely useful!

    My students love the "drop" feature in Google Maps, but besides that it truly doesn't compare. I love that you can add, delete, or change layers to this map to better understand its larger affect. There are many more ways to manipulate maps on ArcGIS than on Google Maps. I can also add personal details and information if I want to create a specific map, something that I am unable to do with Google

    Return on Investment
    Esri
    • ArcGIS saves us countless hours of manual paperwork by allowing us to conduct inspections in the field.
    • Due to the high upfront costs, the ROI will definitely take longer than other competing products
    • The PDF export feature allows us to share our maps with the public while maintaining control of the data associated with the map.

    • Using oasis montaj allowed to work on several projects for gravimetric data interpretation that represented a great profit for our business.
    • Oasis was an excellent learning tool that brought profit to our university since all the work we did were actual problems that when solved generated profit for the faculty
