Enterprise UN vs FGDB

DLee

Hola,

Gestionamos una pequeña red eléctrica municipal utilizando Utility Network (UN) Versión 4 en Enterprise Geodatabase 10.8. Sin planes inmediatos de actualización, he creado con éxito una geodatabase de archivo local usando un paquete de activos y UN Versión 7. Ahora estoy evaluando si continuar el desarrollo en el entorno Enterprise o cambiar a la geodatabase de archivo local. ¿Es el soporte para múltiples usuarios la principal ventaja de Enterprise Utility Network, o existen otros beneficios significativos?

¡Gracias!

@DLee - supporting multiple users is a one of the advantage of using Enterprise Geodatabase. 
Other advantages include - archiving, versioning, historical views. 

The key one in my opinion is being able to publish a UN service/services that can be used across the business - maps, apps, ExB, reporting etc. WebGIS is very important to us because not all people feel comfortable using ArcGIS Pro. We also use these services for automations and other ETL processes. 

But I understand that the organization size can be a slight limitation.
You can go down that localGDB route If you can somehow manage packaging of maps and sharing those with the users. Not sure if you are considering a "central" localgdb that all projects point to?

You will have to be able to co-ordinate edit sessions if you have multiple editors. 

You could possibly have a combination of localGDB and AGOL for webmaps without tracing, etc. 

It's not a simple answer unfortunately and depends on your use case and business goals. Happy to bounce ideas if required.
