[Qgis-user] Positive Comparison of ArcGIS vs QGIS

[pcreso at pcreso.com]

Try any commercial RDBMS...publishing  benchmarks is pretty much always prevented by the licence. With some justification - there are  lies, damn lies & benchmarks :-)

Hmm, yes ArcGIS tends to be a 'pig' on geoprocessing tasks.
I did not know about the ArcGIS EULA which includes limitations on freedom of speech.
Kinda makes you wonder...

QGIS 2 - ArcGIS - 0

Great results....in an unfair contest. My netbook has got more power in

it than his QGIS laptop. Plus ... QGIS 1.4 vs. ArcGIS 10!!!!!!!!





I was always interested in seeing some benchmark results for some of the

functions in ESRI products and QGIS/GRASS. But after a bit of a research

I did in the past, I found out as a part of their EULA (not sure if they

have changed it for ArcGIS 10) you are not allowed to publish your

benchmark test runs results!!
