ArcGIS Online (AGOL) is a browser-based /cloud-based mapping, analysis, collaborative web GIS platform that allows you to use, create, share maps, scenes, apps, layers, analytics, and data. ArcGIS Online can be used anytime, anywhere. It is part of the Esri Geospatial Cloud, which enables you to connect people, organizations, locations, and data by using interactive maps. ArcGIS Online includes and integrates with many ArcGIS products such as authoritative data and map layers, web app builders, industry-specific configurations, data science models, and the developer's toolbox.
AGOL includes everything you need to create web maps, create 3D web scenes, create web apps, and create notebooks. This includes imagery hosting and analysis, real-time and big data analysis and community collaboration around initiatives. AGOL also integrates with key products in the ArcGIS system, including apps for field operations, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS Enterprise, to help you complete your workflows. You also have access to templates and widgets for creating web apps that you can publish to ArcGIS Online. Additionally, using ArcGIS Notebooks, you can access Python resources to perform analysis, automate workflows and visualize data.
