    Angular is our framework of choice for a number of reasons. Business data is almost always displayed in a grid format. It makes sense to start with a strong widget that is powerful and fast when building applications. Ignite UI provides a complete toolset of widgets for other frameworks, but Angular is our focus. Ignite UI is helping us deliver a great UX/UI.

    Well suited:
    • To build beautiful and dynamic maps quickly.
    • To conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses.
    • To work cross-platform, as both the Windows version and the Linux version are identical in appearance and available resources.
    Less appropriate:
    • To use and import files from proprietary software such as ArcGIS and AutoCAD.

    Pros
    Infragistics
    • The examples are great and close enough to real-life usage to be truly helpful
    • The OOB configuration and themes are good. They are very configurable.
    • The touch support and response web are built in, allowing the same code to work well on desktop and phone.

    • Styling: the styling engine is fantastic with raster styling features that I recognize from apps like Photoshop.
    • Print layouts: I can set up custom print layouts, and even do automated multi-page atlas style reports that I use for cycling through detailed areas when providing my clients with pdf reports.
    • Extendable: the plugins are fantastic, and almost anything I need that isn't provided natively with QGIS is available as a plugin.
    • Community: the QGIS community is passionate about GIS, and are always ready to help. There are great training resources available online.

    Cons
    Infragistics
    • I would like to see examples with security tokens. It really isn't an Ignite UI issue, but would be helpful.
    • Some of the examples are over-simplified, not how the products would be used in real life.

    • Making maps in QGIS is a bit clunky. I also find it to be extremely unintuitive. For basic GIS, it is great, but I would much rather make maps (for publication purposes) in ArcGIS.
    • Editing and adding feature layers is not very intuitive. Changing colors of added point or line features is a rather convoluted process.
    • ArcGIS has a huge selection of online courses, and if you have the appropriate license, you can access most for free. I found these to be very helpful when dealing with map projections and other issues. However, QGIS does not have a large library of courses specifically made for that program.

    I wasn't a GIS user at all when I started using QGIS, nor did I have any background working with data in anything other than Excel, and as a result, I struggled quite a lot in the beginning (it's not quite Google Maps). But having said that, I haven't come across anything that I couldn't do with a little help from the online community. I've done complex spatial analyses on large datasets of metropolitan cities, designed custom multi-page pdf reports that automatically cycle through different areas of an area, etc.
    And the GIS staff that I've appointed, after their initial resistance, took to the tool like a fish to water, and I haven't heard them complain after starting to use the tool for a week or two.
    But if you're new to GIS, be patient and invest some time to learn how to use the tool. It is absolutely worth it.

    Even though there is a no dedicated support team for QGIS (or at least we are not aware of it), there is a huge online community and a large number of forums catering to every question you may have regarding any particular functionality of QGIS. So, you have a lot of help available but you will have to sift through it on the web.

    We tried DevExpress when we started a project a couple of years ago. At the time, the documentation and ease of use went to Infragistics. When trying new or updated tools, the documentation and samples are everything. Having minimal documentation or documentation that seems to be written for people that already know how to use the product is just plain frustrating. Samples need to be something close to the real-life usage of the product.

    Return on Investment
    Infragistics
    • There is a learning curve, of course, but the comparisons between the projects with and without Ignite UI are worth it.
    • The time savings on development is very real. The built-in functionality is amazing.
    • We are able to focus on features rather than getting the look and feel of our deliverable.

    • QGIS gives us more impactful data on children and maternal health issues, which in turn has helped us establish more programs, relationships, and funding opportunities because of the excellent data presentations we can give.
    • QGIS has allowed our staff to improve their data analysis skills, improving our workforce across the board, with or without the direct use of geographic data.
    • QGIS has required a lot of staff time to learn, but the ROI on time spent vs the reports we produced afterward has been well worth it.
