Pro will not work for anyone with an unreliable internet connection.

I teach ArcGIS for health professionals who just want to map their data. I was excited to try Pro but I didn’t find it intuitive at all. Huge change from ArcMap. I tried making some basic maps in Pro for a colleague and after hours of trying to figure out how to add a basic shape file and finding no way to fix labels, I gave up and switched back to ArcMap. Hopefully Esri will fix the awful UI issues to align more with ArcMap before discontinuing it. Otherwise if I’m going to have to learn a slower and almost totally new program I will switch to QGIS. Esri needs to listen to the huge number of complaints online by their users. Pro is a hot mess.

Don’t combine general charts in ArcGIS Pro that you described with infographics. Infographics cost credits as they use business analyst/geoenrichment data. General charts (bar charts, scatter plots, etc) do not use credits.

I agree with Gord. It’s as if Esri have taken ArcMap and said “How can we take all the easy, intuitive functionality that exists in ArcMap, and make it as convoluted as possible? And while we’re at it, replace the simple mxd and with a whole aprx ecosystem with it’s own gdb, index folders, toolboxes and a whole bunch of other stuff that no one will use.”
Don’t like it!

Maps look fantastic in ArcGIS Pro. Only complaint is putting in definition queries. Seems to take a long. Also, projects seem a little bulky with all the files it creates. Still getting used to it.

ArcGIS Pro? Um… no thanks…and not anytime soon. If ESRI tries to force it upon everyone by discontinuing Desktop… then I will be jumping from the ArcShip pretty quick… I hear QGIS 3 is pretty bangin’ ;-)
