"If you want to use maps in PBI, you use this"

4/5

What do you like best about ArcGIS for Power BI?

ESRI maps are really good. With a update of PBI a few months ago it has also gotten much faster at rendering. The visualization looks very good and it is simple to set up several layers of drilling. It's not often that we have a need to use maps in our data, but when we do, this makes it easy. Custumers really like maps and often look for a way to include them, even if they aren't the best at telling a specific story. Fortunately development time is not long, making it easy to assess effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS for Power BI?

I have noticed that you must be careful as to how you design the data. This is true with most BI visuals but especially with maps because of the amount of rendering of layers they do. At times I have experienced some long load times. Our current data set is well summarized and we have removed unneeded data making load times almost immediate.

What problems is ArcGIS for Power BI solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were able to map our tier 1 contacted facilities and tier 2. We also mapped non contracted locations to determine market saturation. We can look at various counts by state, county, city, zip, and exact location. It is a quick tool to see where members are most heavily concentrated for services and it is integrated with our BI solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
