You can not run it standalone and you must have an ArcGIS Online subscription to even open it. If this is the new Desktop (which I agree that's the direction Esri is moving), those restrictions will have to go away for their user market. Not everyone has an Internet connection at the time they need to open a desktop mapping application. It has some pretty neat functionality, allows manipulation of 3D data easily, and is lightening fast with heavy Enterprise DBs. It also conforms to the Microsoft application UI, in that it has ribbons instead of menus. </div><div><br></div><div>QGIS has more comparisons to the existing ArcGIS Desktop application. </div><div><br></div><div>James<br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Jun 6, 2015, at 08:57, Randal Hale <<a href="mailto:rjhale@northrivergeographic.com">rjhale@northrivergeographic.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

I think it would be easier to argue (and I haven't used it....yet)
ArcGISPro is a throw back to the Arcview 3.x series. Multiple
layouts in one session, promoted as "GIS for managers", etc. <br>
<br>
There are some similarities between Pro and QGIS - I think QGIS is
more comparable to ArcDesktop. With development ending on Desktop
(yeah I said it) I think QGIS is poised to pick up the unhappy
market of people who don't want a desktop application tied to an
online application (arcgisonline). Desktop GIS still has a place in
the world. I think QGIS could in theory start to make a bigger
impact than it has been. Of course you have the entire ESRI
ecosystem of software to deal with...but that's another story. <br>

Hi David,<br>
<br>
They are both GIS ;-) One costs tons of money, the other one is
free.<br>
<br>
What exactly are you asking? What do you want to know?<br>
