GIS software for mapping and spatial analytics.

Visit Esri

Esri builds ArcGIS, a geospatial platform that integrates and connects data through the context of geography. It provides geographic information system (GIS) technology for mapping and spatial analytics, addressing the need to combine and analyze location-based data for business and government operations.

ArcGIS includes enterprise technology for mapping, analytics, and data management, with ArcGIS Enterprise offering self-hosted deployment. Esri also provides spatial analytics capabilities in Microsoft Fabric, and an AI assistant (beta) for asking questions and getting answers. The platform supports digital twin 3D modeling and is available across multiple product areas.

Esri's technology is used by organizations across virtually every field, including retail planning, state and local government, and infrastructure management. Packaging details, including plans, trials, editions, and pricing models, are not specified on the pages reviewed.
