Differences between ARCGIS and QGIS
Since I started doing GIS I have mainly used ARCGIS for most of my work. However, a few months later I was introduced to QGIS. One thing I realized is that if you combined these two softwares or used a combination if other different mapping softwares you could probably get better results. Here I am going to share various differences between ARCGIS and QGIS since if you considered what both of them are good at, and take advantage of that, you could be more efficient and advanced. 1.QGIS uses all types of data ARCGIS was my favorite software, and it is for most people, until I realized that it doesn't consume all types of data. On the other hand, QGIS is more versatile as it consumes a wide range of data formats. QGIS makes use of GDAL/OGR libraries to read and write GIS data formats .
