In educational settings, ArcGIS is commonly used for completing projects and research tasks. It also plays a crucial role in research projects related to geography and groundwater chemistry analysis. Furthermore, ArcGIS facilitates collaboration between different fields of research and offers sophisticated visualization and statistical analysis capabilities. The software is integrated with mapping platforms to optimize operations across industries. Additionally, it has been instrumental in solving location and planning problems, promoting organized development, facilitating cartography, creating infographics, and presenting data in a visually engaging manner.

I use ArcGIS for asset management of municipal infrastructure and updating their and our databases. I also use it for catchment delineation and analysis. Drawing up localities and flood line drawings. We use ArcGIS for identifying areas and infrastructure present in an area in a preliminary way prior to starting a project so we can determine how much information we have and what may be outstanding and the extent of the projects.
  • Easy to operate
  • Assigning information regarding shapefiles on the attribute tables
  • Creation of layouts
  • Ease of drawings catchments, etc. by means of shapefile
  • Automation of some functions or features
It is extremely useful for the creation of databases of information and storing specific attributes to those particular features. It is not that useful for actual analysis and design projects.
  • Creation of shapefiles that store specific attributes relating to those features
  • Locality maps and drawings
  • Conversion of certain file types
  • It has allowed the company to maintain and keep certain huge projects up and running for the past 15 years
  • There have been no negative impacts
  • It saves time with the ease of creating maps and drawings
I haven't used any other software similar to GIS.

ArcGIS integrates with mapping and staking platform provided by NISC and is used to map services and is used in multiple iVUE applications such as CIS, OMS, Map Viewer, AppSuite and iVUE Connect. ArcGIS Server helps to optimize our operations and day-to-day workflow.
  • Tight integration with NISC and other commercial systems
  • Helps to make better informed decisions and improve service
  • Planning new infrastructure and locating existing underground infrastructure
  • Building in more help tools into the application itself
  • Less restrictions on the licensing
  • Price could be lower but you really do get a lot of capability
There's not really a downside to the product. It meets every need that we have for performing staking and mapping functions. If you had to pick a scenario the only one would be for personal use. It is intended for organizations.
  • Data visualization
  • Integration with NISC Mapwise
  • Outage Management
  • It has produced much more efficiency over using traditional paper maps
  • We can share all our information in an up to date format
  • It allows our workers in the field to respond to outages and locate vehicles in real time
We would export circuit models used in Windmil to an AutoCAD drawing to print paper maps. This is nothing in comparison to what ArcGis is capable of.

As a middle school history teacher, I often use ArcGIS in my classroom with my students. I often use the Geo-inquiries as a lesson with my students for them to get a broader understanding of our current unit's geography and it's larger affect on the world. Other teachers use it in their prospective classes for science, math, and even language arts. We have also utilized it to create surveys among our students to put on a mapping system. By allowing my students to manipulate maps, they get a much better understanding of geography in general.
  • Geo-inquiry lessons are already made and easy to integrate in the classroom.
  • Map manipulation allows students to fully understand geographical relationships.
  • Story maps are extremely easy for students to use and create their own.
  • PD training for me to better utilize and understand.
  • User friendly videos for my students to watch to better understand.
  • General training since some are difficult to implement.
We utilize ArcGIS for each of our units. For example, we just completed our unit on the Middle Ages and are starting our unit on the Renaissance. There is a GeoInquiry that has students manipulate a map to not only see but understand the spread of the plague. They can toggle on and off different layers and icons to see how deadly the plague truly was, and how it led to the rebirth of Europe.
  • I absolutely love the Geo-inquiries!
  • Story maps.
  • Survey creation.
  • Improved general geographical understanding for my students.
  • Map manipulation for my students.
  • Free for my students.
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.
