Arcobjects vs ArcPro SDK

Durga_PrasadD

I am looking for clarifications on below

What is ArcPro SDK for ?

Is it replacement for ArcEngine(ArcObjects) ?

For standalone applications ArcEngine(ArcObjects) is used for now.Will this get replaced by ArcPro SDK ?

If ArcPro SDK is replacement for ArcEngine(ArcObjects) then How different is it from ESRI ArcGIS Run-time ?

ESRI ArcGIS Runtime or ArcPro SDK what is right for long term ?

What do you advise for GIS system designers who wants to plan now on choosing between ArcEngine or otherwise.

Will I get some comparison table for ArcEngine vs ESRI ArcGIS Run-time vs ArcPro SDK

Durga, Thank you very much for your interest in the ArcGIS Pro SDK. We have attempted to address many of our users questions w.r.t the Pro SDK in our ArcGIS Pro SDK FAQ which can be found at: http://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/FAQ . We will continue to update this FAQ across future releases of ArcGIS Pro.

With regards to Engine vs Runtime, Runtime is absolutely a replacement for Engine. A comparison of the two products and related discussions can be found here: ArcGISEngine vs ArcGIS Runtime Q&amp;amp;A

With regards to the future of these products please consult the product lifecycles which can be found at: http://support.esri.com/en/content/productlifecycles

For example, notice that 10.3.1 is not retired until December 1, 2020. That means that the corresponding SDKs for desktop 10.3.1 (Arcobjects, Arcengine) will follow the same support plan and lifecycle (meaning that the 10.3.1 releases of this product are not retired until Dec 1, 2020 also). Runtime likewise posts its lifecycle documentation there too. When 10.4 is released it too will have a lifecycle which will include the ArcObjects and ArcEngine. Likewise for 10.4.x and so on.

On the choice between Runtime and Pro, they serve different purposes. Runtime is, by its nature, a development product. It can be used to write applications from scratch or embed Esri technology in GIS and Non-GIS applications (whether on mobile, tablet, desktop). Pro is an application. It's functionality is dictated by its feature functions ~however~ it can be extended with its .NET SDK (or automated with its python SDK). Customization of the desktop platform (and, to an extent, Server platform) continues to be supported with ArcObjects.

In short:

ArcPro SDK is to develop custom functionality to extent ArcGIS Pro.
ArcGIS Engine is for developing custom applications that have mapping functionality.
ArcObjects can be used within ArcGIS Engine/Desktop/Server to extend existing ArcGIS functionality.
ArcGIS Runtime seems to be the replacement for Engine.

ESRI could do a much better job in distinguishing the differences between the offerings and also outlining the future roadmap in regards to Desktop ArcObjects and Engine.

I will also be watching the feedback on this post to see what other developers think the differences/advantages of the various platforms are.

Hi Charles,

im looking for a future migration from arcgis engine to new solution. I've read you post about that , when you say "Runtime is absolutely a replacement for Engine".

I understood correctly ?

Months ago made a prototype and saw for example that data ( for istance geodatabase ), that are under service and than is locked, that is not possible to modify his structure on the fly.

Many others operation available with arcobjects looks like not possible with Runtime.

Can be arcgis pro sdk the replacement for engine sdk ?

Thanmks for answers

@Owen Earley , As you rightly said I am looking for unambiguous roadmap from ESRI.
