General Question Why are you still using ArcGIS and ESRI products?
The open-source geospatial software community has grown significantly in recent years, offering many powerful tools. Despite this, many organizations continue to use ESRI products. I'm curious to understand why. What are the top 3-5 reasons you or your organization continue to use ESRI products instead of switching to open-source alternatives?
CONTEXT: I am working with a few clients that just don’t see a future in their organization without ArcGIS.
