By
,
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
This article compares two ways to access ArcGIS Pro: through ArcGIS user types (which provide access to the full ArcGIS platform including ArcGIS Online/Enterprise, collaboration tools, apps, and dashboards) versus the ArcGIS Pro Standalone option (which is desktop-only software without platform access). It explores the differences between these licensing models to help organizations choose the right fit, focusing on the 2024 refresh of user types and their implications for GIS workflows.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledArcGIS user types have received a lot of attention since their 2024 refresh, and rightly so.
Whether provided through ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise, user types give you access to a complete GIS platform.
There is an ArcGIS Pro Standalone option, which 'does exactly what it says on the tin' as the Brits would say.
ArcGIS Pro can also be used as standalone desktop software without a user type, which means no access to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise sharing, collaboration, apps and dashboards.
