Any advice on how to make heat maps without using kernel density tool? I do not have the licensing for it.
outside of Pro there are other options, for example
Annotated heatmap — Matplotlib 3.10.3 documentation
If you're working with a point feature class, you can use the Heat Map Symbology option documented here - Heat map symbology—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation
