QGIS

Best GIS software for beginners

주석: A great GIS software that is available to download free of cost. It provides large number of third party tools and plugins for faster data manipulation and analysis.

장점:

Best software for beginners and easy to install. QGIS is a powerful tool for custom geoprocessing to identify trends within the spatial dataset and create professional looking maps, free of cost. Able to handle complicated datasets easily. Allows easy task automation to schedule jobs on a daily basis.

단점:

The software can be a bit unstable and slow while performing heavy tasks, and fails to efficiently manage raster data unlike other GIS software available.

Best open-source software for geospatial mapping!!

주석: QGIS is open-source software that can easily download and deploy. It consists of a variety of plugins and tools to work with geospatial data.

장점:

QGIS is totally free software that helps us to perform spatial analysis, data management, geospatial data preparation, satellite data interpretation, etc. This software is updating day by day and adding very important plugins and features to it. QGIS has plugins to connect with other platforms too. For example, Send2GoogleEarth plugin can join with Google Earth Pro, Google Earth Engine Plugin can work with GEE platform. This software provides plugins and tools for quick land use classifications compared to other GIS platforms. Digitization of spatial elements like buildings, roads, streams, and land cover is very comfortable with QGIS. QGIS has the facility to load base maps such as OpenStreetMap, Google Hybrid, Google Satellite, Google Road, and Bing Arial by adding the URL. This service is very valuable for those who are working with base data preparation and interpretation.

단점:

QGIS doesn’t support adding data from file geodatabases. Sometimes QGIS is unexpectedly ended due to crash reporting. Especially at the time, we are doing digitization activities using google satellite images.

QGIS review

주석: Till now, my QGIS use is restricted to creating map products, which is great but alittle bit more time-consuming.

장점:

It is built extremely user friendly, with similar UI to other softwares provided by vendors at great cost. It works for GIS users, providing an open source powerfull tool, triggering the user to expand their skills to coding.

단점:

There should be more built-in options regarding the data visualization, specially when creating map products (greater farmating libraries). I would like to see less versions of the software, but more stable.

Easy to Use Powerful Mapping Program

주석: Overall I am very satisfied with what I am able to produce using QGIS. With this program I can assemble great visuals for inclusion in my reports in a short amount of time.

장점:

This program offers an easy to use and effective mapping software. The capabilities of this software are above and beyond what I would have expected from a free program. I use QGIS at least once a day for various mapping projects whether it be preparing a site map, a tax map, or topographic maps. It makes mapping sample points, or integrating various graphical project data simple. I had no previous formal GIS training and I found this program easy to understand a pick up quickly.

단점:

Some file formats are not accepted as imports into QGIS so they may require a conversion before uploading. Additionally, the buffer function was removed from newer versions of the program.

Powerful, reliable, easy to use, extendable... and free (as in free beer and free speech)

장점:

It is extremely powerful: it has plenty of built-in algorithms that range from data analysis, visualization, vector, raster... and it has thousands of 3rd party plug-ins that extend their base functionallities. Furthermore, if everything fails, it can be extended through python scripting. As result it can be used for any purpose that include geospatial data. Furthermore, it is reliable, meaning that it does not hang when working with large datasets or doing complex calculations. The fact that can be used in any major Operating System (GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac, Android) and can read and write a number of file formats (including, but not limited to, all open standards) makes it excellent for sharing your work with others, preventing any kind of platform lock-in.

단점:

It might be not well-known as Arcgis, even though it can do everything Arcgis can do plus more, at a fraction of its cost (0).

Review of QGIS

주석: QGIS is very useful software in the Geoinformatics field.

장점:

QGIS is free and open-source software. QGIS supports all possible formats such as raster, vector, point clouds of GIS, and Remote Sensing. QGIS is highly customizable and the Developer can develop various plugins as per requirements.

단점:

QGIS sometimes encounters a bug and immediate Support is not available. QGIS needs more tools for raster data processing.

Great software in what it proposes

주석: I have been using the program for more than 6 months and even then I have no interest in changing software, as it perfectly meets my map creation demands. I can create everything from less complex maps for personal use, to maps for professional use.

장점:

The main benefit of QGIS in relation to competitors is related to cost-benefit. The software is compatible with the most popular operating systems such as Windowns, Linux and Mac. A few months ago I started a course to become professional and 4 months ago I got a new job opportunity thanks to my knowledge and skill with the tool. In addition, QGIS support is very complete, where I can solve problems in a short time. It is possible to download different versions of the program, depending on each demand.

단점:

Comparing QGIS with some similar but paid programs, it is possible to notice that some problems happen more frequently, where the software proves to be more unstable and sometimes the program closes for no apparent reason, however, these are quite sporadic situations and do not affect my Yield.

A fantastic open source replacement for expensive proprietary solutions

장점:

If you need a GIS Desktop tool, QGIS is the way to go. It is rich of features, open source, and easily customizable using Python. And has a vibrant community!

단점:

I like everything from this fantastic software

Excellent GIS tool

주석: a positive experience is easy to use and the elements are available to the user

장점:

a quality software and it is also free for all users

단점:

which is available to all users for free and has a large number of tools to work with

Still the best Open Source GIS Software

주석: IT has most features on it for GeoSpatial use along with added Geoprocessing tools and plugins, surprisingly found it a first choice for maybe handling with rasters imagery for simpler work. QGIS does everything I need for professional mapping & analysis.
The software is updated on time and regularly. easily connectable to other applications even including hardware GPS devices through plugins and has an easy integration with Excel Databases and supports most Excel Database formats. User Friendly GIS option.

장점:

Its pretty useful options if you want to convert from on format to another such as GDAL files having formats of Raster imagery such as converting grid files, image files to ASCII files etc including numerous other formats. Budget friendly option for Geospatial professionals plus easy to use tools for other professionals in the field of Environment or planning for their mapping work. Add on's are another useful feature, recently used and add on for adding surveys for data point collection of reviewing of data points, many developers are able to make add on plugins for QGIS.

단점:

There can arise issues such as lag or time taken for some geoprocessing tools, installation loading times, time taken for bulk tasks, in general using ArcGIS is more easier and better. Tool bar graphics can be out of date.

QGIS is my swiss army knife

주석: I needed a program that could quickly extract topographic contours from a DSM tiff file, and do it at different resolutions. I've been using QGIS for this purpose for 2 years now.

장점:

The reason I sought out QGIS was to extract topographic contours from DSM tiff files. I have since found a dozen other uses for this very robust GIS program. Convert files, extract data, interpolate DSM files, analyze aerial data...the features are endless.

단점:

The learning curve can be a little steep at first, but there is an in depth wiki page that details every feature.

Very complete GIS software

장점:

This is a great open-source GIS software and is equipped with plenty of features and customization options for projecting and analyzing spatial data. Its interface with online maps from services like Google and Bing, which makes it easy to work with different basemaps. It's also a great alternative to ArcGIS, particularly for those who are looking for a free and open-source solution.

단점:

The software can be a bit tricky to navigate for those who are new to GIS or have limited experience with similar tools.

QGIS is great!

주석: It's not that welcoming to new users, but once you get into it, it's really good. QGIS should enable you to get most of your GIS-related work done - and all of that for the price you can't beat.

장점:

Great GIS software. It is evolving constantly, it's free and it does the job well no matter if you just want to take a look at a shapefile or you want to deliver more complex projects - it's there and it works. On top of that you've got access to a number of plugins which should bring all the functionality you need.

단점:

There are a lot of software/libraries dependencies and backward compatibility is not always a guarantee for your projects. Even if it's not ideal it causes the extended use of older version of QGIS when working on a specific project for longer.

Unleashing the Power of Spatial Analysis

주석: QGIS offers a broad range of tools and functionalities for spatial analysis, data management, and map creation. i appreciate the vast capabilities of QGIS, allowing me to perform complex spatial operations, create visually appealing maps, and analyze data effectively.

장점:

QGIS is an open-source software, meaning it is freely available for download and use. This accessibility makes it a popular choice for individuals and organizations with limited budgets or those who prefer open-source solutions.

단점:

QGIS, like any powerful software, has a learning curve, especially for users who are new to geographic information systems (GIS).

I don't know anything about that. I am fully satisfied.

Qgis- One of the best GIS softwares

주석: I use this software for my university career (architecture), I use for the analysis of terrain, and the nearby environment, where I can see a lot of information, For example, bus lines, rivers, land, electric lines for drinking water, etc.
I really like this software as it is very easy to use for beginners.

장점:

QGgis is an open-source software, i like its easy and fast workflows, it is really easy to modify layer properties, attributes and other features, and i prefer it because it is just as good as other GIS softwares, but QGis is free. Really easy to use and learn, and you can find a lot of information about this software in youtube.

단점:

something I don't like is that sometimes the application closes and does not have recovered files, so you have to start again.

QGIS is free which is its biggest plus point!

주석: Like I mentioned above, the ease of use and the software being inexpensive is a huge advantage for anyone who wants to learn about geographic information system. Also since most researchers other than those working in larger institutions work on QGIS I feel it becomes easy to relay and correlate data in collaborations where 2 researchers might be working from different locations. Hence, it works really well for most of the people working with GIS and remote sensing.

장점:

The free software helps us researchers correlate our data through remote sensing as the software is relatively inexpensive in comparison to ArcGIS. Most of the data can be run through this software with ease and even the manual functions are better and easy to understand.

단점:

Only sometimes I do feel that the quality of our maps suffer since its free it has its cons. Otherwise it works really well for an amateur and intermediate users.

장점:

because this is an open source software for spatial analysis, I give it a thumbs up. I use it from time to time as well.

단점:

Some of the tools are still in the process of being built and so most of them may not the provide the output one is looking for.

If you need to work professionally on geospatial data - QGIS is a great choice

주석: I was introduced to QGIS through a colleague of mine, so I had someone to show me around, which was very helpful since it can be intimidating at times.

장점:

The fact that it's free, very powerful, can work on any type of data size you put at it and that it's also cross-platform.

단점:

QGIS can be very slow and resource-intensive, it is packed with features and often has a steep learning curve

Great tool for geodata analysis
