I agree that a flat-cost model would be unsustainable for all the reasons that Cole Andrews mentions and more. All I think anyone is asking for is to get rid of credits and just use straight up dollars and cents so that anyone can make sense of the cost of a particular transaction without having to do some (admittedly simple) math first.

ArcGIS Enterprise Sites makes it super easy to build custom, project or initiative-based websites without writing any code. It would be great to be able to build a completely custom landing page for a Portal (eg. https://server.domain.com/web-adaptor/home.html

A great Story Map is actually really hard to create. Great Story Maps are require rich media, high resolution images, thoughtful and visually engaging maps and more. One of the areas where one can spend a lot of time working on a Story Map is hunting down great pictures. It gets even more difficult if you need or want royalty-free images released under a Creative Commons license. Google Image Search has some filters for this but honestly its like searching for a needle in a haystack. There are several great sites for obtaining great royalty free stock photographs though. Unsplash, StockSnap.io, Pexels, Burst and Pixabay are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Currently, I have to go hunt down photographs, either download them and then upload them somewhere else to be hosted, or host them in ArcGIS Online, and then properly attribute them in my Story Map. It would be fantastic if Esri worked with a couple of these companies to create an integration for Story Maps so that I could seamlessly search for stock photography from these sites right within the Story Map builder, and add them to my Story Map sections with attribution, if neccesary. The attribution could work similarly to the way that Basemap attribution works. Just some small overlay text in the bottom-right corner. Certainly, I think this would make the creation of great Story Maps a lot easier and we could spend a little less time hunting for and integrating imagery and more time on producing something awesome and inspiring.

I disagree. The best business choice is to give your customers what they want. If you do that, they won't leave your platform. Having a way to back it all up online doesn't solve anything. The point of being able to back it up is to get it outside of the ArcGIS Online ecosystem so that if you can control where your backups are hosted. Now, if Esri wants to have their own proprietary backup file, that would be fine with me as long as I could use that backup file to do either of the below: Extract all of the backup contents into a directory on a system which gave me a bunch of File Geodatabases and Layer files which I could use to build local copies of the content I have an ArcGIS Online (apps excluded) Still an Esri proprietary format which would be a real pain to go through one-by-one and convert to an open standard, but doable with some scripting help. Allows me to recover a single content item easily and republish it. Would be super cool if I could republish a content item and all content items which have a dependency on that item Use that backup file to hydrate a new ArcGIS Enterprise instance. Eg. Maybe I want to go from AGOL to Portal. No problem, take a backup of AGOL and give it to Portal, Portal reads the backup and recreates all of the items, content, users, permissions, groups, etc.

Add a demo button for application templates, both in ArcGIS Online and Portal so that users can play with a representative example of the application to understand the experience each template provides to end users.

ArcGIS Enterprise Builder is a great way to quickly spin up a Base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment with almost no work required of the user. However, one big exception is that you need to acquire, install and bind an SSL Certificate to port 443 on your Web Server. This is not very hard to do. However, its important to remember that there are really two groups of users that leverage Enterprise Builder; Developers that want to quickly spin up a local dev environment on their machine and have the technical skills to do this or Administrators that are not technically inclined and do not have the technical skillset necessary to setup a base deployment manually. For this latter group, asking them to acquire, install and configure an SSL Certificate is probably a significant ask. LetsEncrypt.org offers free SSL Certificates and these can be acquired, installed and even managed using an ACME v2 client.

Thanks for the informative reply Sathya. A think a roadmap or list of planned features, capabilities or differentiators would be very helpful for those of us considering bringing the Companion app into our Enterprise. I'd much rather start early and get users accustomed to the general UX, but I'd need to know what's planned and on the roadmap in order to assess the value of bringing it on board.

Idk about that. There's some real garbage in the Esri Marketplace. I think most of Esri's tools function fairly well but would agree that when it rains, it pours. I've been thinking about this and you know, AGO Assistant is already supported by Esri via GitHub as Paul Hoeffler mentioned. The last commit was on May 3 as of this writing. Given that, I'm not sure what we're asking for here. Do we want AGO Assistant turned into an official product? If so, be careful what you wish for because if they do that, who is to say it wouldn't be a 'premium app'? When I first encountered ArcGIS Monitor a few years ago when it was called 'Service Monitor' and only available through the EEAP or a Professional Service Engagement, I lobbied Esri to productize it and make it available to everyone. Lo and behold they took me up on that and its now an officially supported Esri product. Of course, it ain't free anymore either. Back in the day, it wasn't exactly free either. You had to use EEAP Credits or do a ProServices engagement to get 'Service Monitor' installed initially. One that was done though, you could either continue using EEAP Credits or ProServices engagements to have Esri update it for you, or you could download the code and update it yourself as new releases came out. Now that its an official product, you gotta pay for it. All I'm saying is, AGO Assistant is already supported through an official, open source channel that makes it free for everyone. If you want AGO Assistant to be 'officially supported' (whatever that means), just be prepared to go through an 'official procurement process' to obtain it. I am deleting my previous statement on this post and am down voting this idea now that I've given it more thought.

So, I was at the UC and saw the Companion app. In fact, I’d heard about it at the 2017 UC and talked with some Esri folks who were going through Alpha with it. Anyway, I’ve read the blog post, understand the features. It’s cool. What I don’t understand fully, is why? Everything the Companion app does, you can do through the browser in ArcGIS Online. I think the only thing I’ve latched onto so far that a browser wont natively support is biometric authentication.In which case, fine I guess but a whole native app for that? Wouldn’t it be better to just give the ArcGIS Online site a better mobile responsive design? I really don’t mean for this to come off as negative. I’m just trying to understand the purpose dedicated native mobile app. Perhaps a public roadmap that layer out some of the planned features and capabilities would help?

I think this kind of capability is actually key when you've got a beefy workstation. When you've got an underpowered workstation, you're typically accustomed to running one thing at a time because well, your system probably struggles to run Chrome and Excel concurrently. However, when you've got a beefy desktop or mobile workstation with lots of resources, you used to being able to run resource hungry apps concurrently. Pro has no problem with consuming pretty much everything available, which is great until it's not. If you're running some data crunching scripts in the background, a SAS or SPSS model or even Tableau, Pro can start eating into resources and kind of starving those other apps of resources. An advanced setting to define an upper limit of how much RAM and possibly even cores Pro can use would be beneficial.
