What ArcGIS Hub is
ArcGIS Hub is a cloud-based platform for community engagement, open-data sharing, and collaboration. Organizations can make unlimited low- to no-code websites from templates and drag-and-drop components, then bring together curated information from agencies and other sources. Data can be provided through APIs or downloaded in open-standards-based formats. Hub integrates ArcGIS StoryMaps, Dashboards, Instant Apps, Experience Builder, and Survey123. It can also embed its components in other apps and websites, host embedded apps, and connect social media feeds. Organizations can share content publicly or restrict sites and material behind a login. Hub Basic includes websites, open-data sharing, branding and custom domains, ArcGIS application integration, and performance dashboards. Premium adds community identities, events, feedback, group discussions, public discussion boards, and newsletters. Both plans require an ArcGIS Online Creator, Professional, or Professional Plus user type license. ArcGIS Enterprise Sites runs on customer infrastructure with capabilities similar to Hub Basic. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan.
Who it suits
ArcGIS Hub suits government, educational, nonprofit, and private-sector organizations that publish data or collaborate with communities. Teams already using the required ArcGIS Online license can consider Hub Basic or Premium; organizations running ArcGIS Enterprise can consider Enterprise Sites.
