 # Migrate from ArcGIS

-This guide is intended for current ArcGIS and ArcGIS field data collection tools users who consider switching to <QGIS link="en/site/forusers/download.html" text="QGIS" /> and <MainPlatformNameLink />.

 From our experience, users highlight cost savings, interoperability and flexibility when using QGIS and <MainPlatformName /> in comparison with <NoSpellcheck id="Esri's" /> ArcGIS tools for field surveys such as Collector, Survey123, QuickCapture or Field Maps.

 Switching to a new platform can be challenging. This documentation is here to help with the basics as well as some more advanced or specific settings.
 
 To get familiar with <MainPlatformNameLink />, we recommend starting with the [**tutorials**](../../tutorials/capturing-first-data/). If there are specific topics that are crucial for your workflows, feel free to explore the documentation or contact our <MerginMapsEmail id="sales" desc="sales team" /> or our <MerginMapsEmail id="support" desc="support team" /> to get more details.

 ## ArcGIS vs QGIS ecosystems
 
 In general, ArcGIS is a proprietary software platform while <QGIS link="en/site/forusers/download.html" text="QGIS" /> is based on open-source philosophy. As such, it is usually not easy or straightforward to have a workflow that combines both environments. Nevertheless, there are, e.g., some common [data formats](#data-formats) that can be used in both of them. 
 
-When it comes to field data collection, there are multiple applications in the ArcGIS ecosystem and also some that can be used with QGIS. One of the QGIS-based applications is <MobileAppName />: a project is created within QGIS and <MobileAppNameShort /> is used to collect, update or browse data in the field. The most similar app to <MobileAppName /> is the ArcGIS Field Maps.

 ### Data Formats
 
 **Always use GeoPackage for survey layers** in <MainPlatformName />. If you use other formats it is not possible to detect changes from other users and they may be overwritten. This is one of the [best practice](../../layer/best-practice). The downside is the GeoPackage will have limited support in Esri software, e.g. some GeoPackages just cannot be opened within ArcGIS Pro. Specifically we do not recommended to keep using [Shapefile](http://switchfromshapefile.org) format.
 
-For rest of the layers, both ArcGIS and QGIS can also handle Shapefile, GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, WMS, WFS, and PostGIS layers. See all the 
-[supported](../../gis/supported_formats.md) formats.

 There are multiple options for data conversion. We recommend using [SLYR](#slyr) processing algorithms to convert project data to GeoPackage (GPKG). You can also use QGIS *Convert format* or *Package layers* processing algorithms. Alternatively, export your data to [formats supported by <MainPlatformName />](../../gis/supported_formats.md) in ArcGIS Pro, if you feel more comfortable doing it there. Data conversion can be done also in the console using the `ogr2ogr` command line tool.
