Reliability: ArcGIS has better spatial topological analytical capabilities and provides more reliable results. Many times I can do all of my spatial analysis and geoprocessing by SQL in PostGIS, and then just use QGIS for visualizing. More freezes and crashes.I am prepared to be wrong but your description of the “Geostatistical Analyst” is actually describing the “Spatial Statistics Module.” These are quite different tools. Cartographers send data to the web via ArcGIS Online. Da una parte l'ESRI è sostenuta da una traiettoria privata di un'azienda con più di 40 anni sul mercato, con il merito di essere i mezzi che hanno portato a diffondere la visione spaziale da una prospettiva di marketing e di pubblico non specializzato; mentre QGIS è l'iniziativa più temporanea nell'ambito dell'approccio GIS, che ha potuto sfruttare il pieno potenziale del modello OpenSource, orchestrando una comunità che ha una leadership non solo di volontariato ma di un elevato livello professionale.Nel complesso, il confronto ci dà luce interessante su aspetti quali:Suggerisco di dare un'occhiata e aggiungerlo alla tua collezione, poiché l'articolo al di là di voler difendere uno strumento (che sarebbe la più ovvia), somiglianze 27 confrontati in aspetti quali:In breve, è un compito arduo che ha portato a questo articolo. It can be part of a comprehensive FOSS GIS solution. The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose.The tools used by QGIS (by default) are all free and open-source software as well.Download our lakes and rivers map of the United States. Essendo una licenza QGIS GPL, tutto è disponibile. Watch your data change over time. Or export as a Python script and customize it. I find dealing with CRS much MUCH easier in QGIS. What are the weaknesses to QGIS? For users in an enterprise environment, Esri pretty clearly comes out on top. It also allows you to define custom CRS and supports on-the-fly projection of vector and raster layers.Both ArcGIS and QGIS handle CRS in a user-friendly way. Drop tools in your Model Builder Diagram and connect them together. But after this, you’re ready to go. The trace tool in ArcMap was sent from heaven.The only word I can describe topology in ArcGIS is genius. What do you mean by “there is no QGIS module” ? When records are selected, they can be filtered even more so (selected from, added to, removed from). Here’s a partial list:“And Esri’s movement into directed solutions for Utilities, Local Governments, etc…”qWat is a plugin for QGIS that adds the ability to model and manage water distribution networks e.g. Lastly, for my small company, all of the machine licenses, various extensions and continuous upgrades for ArcGIS would have cost a small fortune. Resolve topology issues with automatic or manual fixes. What gives ArcGIS the advantage for my work is its ability to export maps directly to Adobe Illustrator format. QGIS wins for more filtering options. I’ve seen novice users get into a right mess in Q with about 3 different projections used in the same project for no reason at all, usually complicated by the openlayers plugin.14. ArcGIS has more options for advanced editing. qgis or grass smoke it.I fixed it. Push the “Add Data” button. … and others : you completely forget to take into account the fact that PostGIS is a key companion to QGIS, and they work really well together.
Regarding input data formats, some are standardized in the United States and are often not used in other countries. Here’s a mapping portal running on QGIS Server, Geodatenviewer Kanton Glarus, Switzerland:“And for extended support?

Labelling is fantastic in QGIS. I started using ArcInfo in 1987, have been a GISP, and have experience in multiple GIS domains including environmental, planning, local government, and as a GIS team leader for business analytics and market research at a Fortune 500 company (so I have experienced the ESRI red carpet customer treatment); but a health scare forced early retirement 10 years ago (when QGIS was interesting, but not really competitive).ArcGIS very rarely crashes, you can analyze large files with ArcGIS. You also forget to mention that ESRI is trying to push its own proprietary LIDAR format, which is really a bad move.12. Select the all data formats drop-down.The separate buttons in QGIS (add vector, add raster, and PostGIS, add SpatialLite, etc) adds confusion.Another instant crush is the splash screen in ArcMap that displays your latest map documents. ArcGIS Online for webmaps is where the online maps are held on Esri’s GIS cloud. I like the comparison. These subtle differences give your labels serious pop. If you can get by with QGIS, then by all means it should be the way to go. Always choose Finish from the context menu or press F2.

Once your data is in a geodatabase, you can start creating QGIS delivers a couple of rules for topology: “must contain”, “must not have duplicates”, “must not have gaps”, “must not have invalid geometries”, “must not have multi-part geometries”, “must not overlap” and “must not overlap with”. The drawing toolbar is how to control annotation groups in ArcGIS. For more established organizations, they can provide a lot of functionality, especially moving into the mobile game. Even Esri has their new, shiny software ArcGIS Pro. But with QGIS on your side, it doesn’t have to be:In QGIS, you can convert lines to polygons, points to polygons, or anything in between. If the user have a mac OSX or linux operating system, QGIS will be the way to go.4. Thank you to Gisgeography.com for this wonderful and informative article. When you create a shapefile in QGIS, you are prompted to set up your fields (text, whole, decimal number or date).

It’s a head-to-head GIS software showdown with the star-studded lineup in the GIS industry – ArcGIS vs QGIS..ArcGIS has broken more hearts than anyone for consuming data.
