Other GIS software, such as ArcGIS ModelBuilder and GRASS GIS, are powerful geographic information system tools used for spatial data analysis, mapping, and geospatial modeling. ArcGIS ModelBuilder provides a visual programming environment for designing workflows without scripting, while GRASS GIS offers an open-source platform for raster and vector data processing, geostatistics, and terrain analysis. Both serve users ranging from researchers and environmental specialists to urban planners.
