ArcGIS Enterprise is a flexible GIS foundational system designed for diverse organizational needs, supporting a wide range of user types and workflows from mapping to data management. It offers a self-hosted software solution compared to the Software as a Service (SaaS) model of ArcGIS Online, providing enhanced security, data control, and customization options. Additional features include scalability, integration capabilities, and support for advanced functionalities needed for enterprise-level operations.
