Use the Join tool.

 

Join on the field(s) that are common between your 2 files.

 

The R output will contain records in File 1 that aren't in File 2

The J output will contains records that are common to both

The L output will contain records in File 2 that aren't in File 1

 

Then you can use the Union tool to merge R, J, and L together to make a single table.
