Hi Everyone,
I have been reading the threads on MI and ArcView in the same office and am
interested in peoples opinions as to value. I am considering purchase of a
GIS but would like info on value vs functionality.
Can anyone suggest a GIS system that gives the best 'bang for your buck'
for business applications such as demographic studies, network analysis and
has decent spatial modeling capabilities? Map Design and layout
capabilities are important also.
I have used ArcInfo and ArcView but realise there are other systems such as
MI, Esri Atlas GIS and Manifold. Unfortunately, as everyone knows many
systems lack basic functionality required to complete a project and either
you need to buy expensive 'add-on' modules or use a different program to
complete the project.
For example, what does the Esri Atlas GIS give that you cannot do with
ArcView and a business add-on? Manifold claims it does way more than MI.
Are there users experienced with several of these systems that could shed
some light on the relative strengths and weaknesses of these systems?
Is one of these systems head and shoulders above the rest?
Thanks in advance,
Shepherd Stewart
