| ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) | ArcGIS Pro | |
| Project file | .mxd (Map Document) Can’t open an .aprx file |
.aprx (ArcGIS Pro Project) Can import an .mxd file into a Pro project. |
| License | Looks for license server if an organizational license | Named user license requires logging into ArcGIS Online using a named user account OR concurrent license option works like with ArcGIS Desktop. |
| 3D | ArcScene and ArcGlobe are stand-alone programs | 3D integrated into the program |
| Catalog | Stand-alone ArcCatalog program | Incorporates catalog functions |
| Code | 32-bit application | 64-bit application (faster; can use >4 gb of memory) |
| Interface | Many toolbars that must be manually be turned on or off | Contextual ribbons, like MS-Office apps |
| Cloud | Not generally integrated (online address locators for geocoding is an exception) | More integrated with ArcGIS online |
| Layouts | Only one in a map document | Can have multiple in a single project |
| Geodatabase | Default gdb in your Windows Profile directory; same for all Map Documents | Creates a project folder that includes a new default gdb for that project, along with the .aprx file and a toolbox for tools you create |
