## ArcGIS Insights Reviews
  ### 1. Solid Analytics Tool for ArcGIS users

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David Z. | Customer Success Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019

**What do you like best about ArcGIS Insights?**

It's a great add-on to the core mapping platform in terms of visualizing and story-telling your analysis.  The dashboard interface is like a geospatial version of Tableau or Power BI.  It takes your map-making to the next level in terms of presenting to stakeholders.

**What do you dislike about ArcGIS Insights?**

The visualization options are a bit limited.  It would be ideal if there we're more widgets to choose from.  Their road map indicates more functionality is coming to address the limitation.

**Recommendations to others considering ArcGIS Insights:**

Insights fills the Geospatial visualization gaps that are lacking with other data visualization / BI tools.  Great for GIS users who often present to a variety of audiences.

**What problems is ArcGIS Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a transportation analyst, I'm trying to understand the trends between service coverage and ridership to  find program efficiencies in terms of increased client value and/or reduced costs.  Insights helps communicate my message to clients more effectively.

  ### 2. Quick and easy analytics

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2019

**What do you like best about ArcGIS Insights?**

It amazed me how easy it is to explore your data.

**What do you dislike about ArcGIS Insights?**

It would be nice to have finished maps to show.  Not the best cartography.

**What problems is ArcGIS Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Quick and easy exploration of your data.

  ### 3. ArcGIS is consistant, reliable and functional

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2018

**What do you like best about ArcGIS Insights?**

ArcGIS   brings location into the equation and provides powerful management capabilities. The powerful web map interface ensures information is available wherever you go. It has saved fuel and time by streamlining communication so crews/workers can drive point to point.

**What do you dislike about ArcGIS Insights?**

Its all about the Cost ($$$). once you get past the difficulty of justifying the expense (which was very hard to swallow) it finally made sense. However we took a leap of faith.

**Recommendations to others considering ArcGIS Insights:**

you need to do you due diligence, as ArcGIS didn't make its own case for us.

**What problems is ArcGIS Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Integrated collection of GIS software products; provides a standards-based platform for spatial analysis, data management, and mapping. 

  ### 4. Good tools but some lag

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2018

**What do you like best about ArcGIS Insights?**

The tools and the uses of the software. 

**What do you dislike about ArcGIS Insights?**

The lag can be frustrating and the occasional bugs can make it difficult to use.

**What problems is ArcGIS Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**
