It has a dynamic and intuitive interface. Very easy to use and teach students. It is compatible with all operating systems Everyone knows or has ever worked with this tool, and it is impossible to get bored if you love maps\! > > **Cons**: It has very few points against it, maybe it takes a little while to process heavy images and it has many updates that sometimes confuse me. ----- ### "Q-Gis Review" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 October 2023* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: the most likable thing i like about qgis is that we can Create, edit, visualise, analyse and publish geospatial information on any platform > > **Cons**: the least feature i like about this software is that sometime labelling interface is very difficult and to understand this software it take sometime due to its difficulty > > due to its versatility and the integration can helps us to use multiple plugin are very helpful ----- ### "Just use ESRI." — 1.0/5 > **Cooper** | *3 October 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: In theory, it was easy to use, however there were always problems. > > **Cons**: The opensource nature of the product led to a lack of overall support and compatibility. I experienced constant problems, slow-downs, freezes, and crashes with the program. > > Honestly terrible, i used it for a very brief period of time due to all of its issues. ----- ### "Qgis- One of the best GIS softwares" — 4.0/5 > **Pedro** | *29 July 2021* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: something I don't like is that sometimes the application closes and does not have recovered files, so you have to start again. > > 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. ----- ### "QGIS is free which is its biggest plus point\!" — 5.0/5 > **Chandni** | *29 June 2021* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2068291/qgis?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2068291/qgis) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | ----- ## Structured Data
