What do you dislike about ArcGIS API for Python?

Not all the functionality of the ArcGIS Pro is available using the Python API. Some of the functionality still accessible only using .Net API, and the learning curve is much steeper to use it. Some important functionality like working with personal databases in GDB format is not available using the standalone installation of the ArcGIS Python API. Despite the Python API is integrated with Pandas, the API does not provide the sufficient capabilities to produce the thematic maps without using the ArcPy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET?

The SDK is an all in one solution for all your needs from design to debug using .Net. we can easily design maps and share geographic information to other third party plugins using objects created with ArcGis. The geographic data compiled using this engine is more accurate and easily compatible/integrate with all other application. Its even faster to analyze mapped information and visualize with no hassle. Even though I know python, I feel its more easier for me to write code in .net with this SDK compared to that of using ArcPy library for python. the pre=built libraries are also useful at times and its totally worth it giving it a try for even budding developers because of its ease of use.

Even though the development part is so easy using python/.Net sdk but testing the developed application becomes difficult due to its incompatibility with most of the popular automation testing softwares like UFT and Test complete etc. I recommend to resolve this incompatibility so that most companies would lean towards using this product. This only improvement can really gain a lot of market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
