I want to use the extra features of Enterprise. But some of my team is on Pro, I'd like to be able to check what features they have available before recommending best practises for the team.
A side-by-side installation of both variants would be perfect. Is it possible?

For VSPackages, that means a user can have several Visual Studio versions installed on the same computer. However, you cannot have side-by-side versions of your VSPackages loaded into a single version of Visual Studio.
You can install Visual Studio on a computer that has an earlier or later version of Visual Studio already installed.
You can install and use Visual Studio 2019 alongside previous versions of Visual Studio, including Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, and Visual Studio 2012.
In general, the only difference between the Community and Professional editions of Visual Studio is one of licensing. There is no operational difference between the two editions. Visual Studio Enterprise is the most feature-rich and most expensive. It is aimed primarily at software architects and QA experts.
Actually you cannot have both Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise and Visual Studio 2015 Pro installed side-by-side on the same machine as this feature was introduced with Visual Studio 2017 where you can have any 2017 editions installed side-by-side with each other and any previous version of Visual Studio versions like 2015 (but again - only one edition of previous version of VS).
For example for single machine it is:
OK: 2017 Com + 2017 Pro + 2017 Ent + 2015 Pro
OK: 2017 Com + 2017 Ent + 2015 Ent
NOT OK: 2015 Pro + 2015 Ent
NOT OK: 2017 Com + 2015 Com + 2015 Ent

Yes, it is possible to run different versions of Visual studio side by side. I have visual studio 2015 professional and enterprise edition running in the same machine.
