Unless I missed it, there's several Administration features in current ArcCatalog that are not available in Pro, specially the ones for geodatabases, e.g., Manage and Administer which is slightly different for each type of data objects.

George:

Thanks for the response.  I am curious to see if you are using Attribute Assistant (AA) to update SDE feature classes in ArcMap.  If so, do you see this being a problem for your migration to ArcPro as there is important functionality still not available in Attribute Rules (Pro's equivalent tool to ArcMap's AA)?

Michael,

We are not using AA.

The limitations of AR compared to AA is definitely a big issue at my org as that is part of our planned architecture moving forward to update very important enterprise SDE feature classes.

Since this is not an issue at all for your org, what would you say are the biggest issues to moving to Pro?

Would you consider the performance issue of SQL Server SDE in Pro a showstopper at this time?

Right now our biggest issue the learning curve of “where is everything” from our users. They will try it, not like it, and not use it. Icon styles were an issues so we downloaded some new styles from ESRI and that helped. A/C not being there is one of my two biggest complaints. The other is in using the Find tool in AM had a great work flow I used all day, every day after finding the address and then the right click option to add a point and then add a text box to that location. Not an option in AGP from what we are being told (see below from ESRI UC AGP Team this week). Right now, and we are just starting to work with importing our large MXD files into a new blank AGP Project, we are finding this extremely time consuming on the import and the projects are VERY slow to open if they have SDE connections.

Here is the work flow for example in AM:

Right click to add a call out text box, for example. Here are the steps in AM also and snap of what we are looking for in AGP:

  • Take any AM .mxd

  • Use the Find Tool to search an address using our own Address Locator, for example our ROADS locator

  • From Find Window, select the Locations Tab, choose our ROADS locator, plug in the address in the Full Address line, hit Find. Our address appears

  • From there you right click on the address in the Match_Addr and you have all the options on what to do. Where are these option in AGP??

From ESRI UC Pro Team in response to the above:

“it’s not there. The reason is that the end result is graphic text (mostly) and graphics are not supported in Map Views in AGP. They’ve heard from many customers that they want graphics support so they are strongly leaning in that direction to implement – perhaps 2.3 (scheduled for end of the year)”

For your big issue with Pro not supporting graphics in the mapview have you voted up the following idea:

https://community.esri.com/ideas/10410 

Voting is how Thomas Colson was able to get ESRI to say you will never be able to publish services directly to ArcGIS Server from Pro to now it being implemented in Pro by mid-2019.  Voting on ideas is power.  This idea is up to a score of 1480 on 7/12/2018, but it needs to go much higher than that for ESRI to move the idea from Under Consideration to In Product Plan.

Thanks for the vote link. Guess I missed that one. Voted up now and as several mentioned, Map Notes is not the answer.

Right now our biggest issue the learning curve of “where is everything” from our users.

There are resources on the Esri Academy (formerly "training" formerly "online campus"):
https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/5b296eb4e620ca23e65420dc/migrate-to-arcgis-pro/ 

and, a useful book was recently released: Switching to ArcGIS Pro

Thanks for sharing those resources, Curtis.  As ArcGIS Pro is a new piece of software, there is a learning curve.  In addition to what you've shared, here is a list of resources that I've compiled (I've shared this before in various places around GeoNet.  Hope this is helpful to those interested in ArcGIS Pro.

Hey Kory, nice meeting you at the UC! Is this posted as a doc somewhere? I'm having trouble finding it so I can refer to it later. The training folks have posted a few similar docs too. There sure is a lot of stuff out there, which is good!
