Pros

3. Advanced Data Validation: The software supports complex data validation rules ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the data collected, reducing errors and improving overall data quality.
Cons
1. Limited Design Flexibility: ArcGIS Survey123 Connect has predefined templates and question types which can restrict the ability to fully customize surveys to specific requirements or complex data collection needs.
2. Learning Curve: New users may find it challenging to navigate and utilize all features effectively, requiring time to become proficient in using the software optimally.
3. Software Compatibility: It requires compatibility with the ArcGIS platform, which could be a disadvantage for users not already invested in the ESRI ecosystem or those preferring integration with other GIS systems.
