I've tried out an iPad pro two years back. I returned it after testing for three weeks (great return policy in that particular chain).
It's magnificent hardware, but the software side was such a gigantic letdown if you're any kind of IT person. I really tried for three weeks to get used to it, but nope. It's too locked down for my use.
Things that immediately popped to mind:
* non-existant multi-tasking.
* no support for more than one user (really? wtf?)
* lack of any form of file management
* policy of the AppStore that you cannot test apps (I know this changed meanwhile)
* Certificate management is a pain unless you use Safari
* Lack of choice of apps (I really don't like apple mail)
* "The Apple way whether you like it or not".
I went with a Samsung S6 (upgraded to S7+), and I'm really happy. I can't say I'm missing anything - I've got dedicated apps for the things I want them for. The lifecycle of Android is improving - it's not to the same level yet as Apple, but we're getting there. Big pro (for me) is that you can also install 3rd party ROMs, which can extend the longevity.
