Support ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server.

Administrator on 03 Jul 2018 22:56:38

Thanks for your feedback - at this time, we're not planning to add this capability to Power BI Report Server. We understand this will be disappointing to many of you who've voted and provided feedback, and this wasn't a decision made lightly. And of course, you'll continue to see investments in these capabilities in the Power BI service going forward.

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

The mapping options currently in PBIRS are almost useless. Please move forward with adding the ArcGIS product

I just attended a demo for the ArcGIS product and was pumped about using it - until I realized it's not available in the Report Server version. Get it done please!

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

So is this a technical limitation of the Report Server (not sure why since the feature works great in the cloud desktop app). Or is it that Microsoft wants to force customers to the cloud for the additional revenue. My organization already have a SQL Server Enterprise license, so Power BI Report Server is already included in our licensing, but moving to the cloud based solution for BI would run is another $75k a year. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but our assurance group would never allow having sensitive financial data in the cloud.

Because of this limitation, we are forced to go with Sisense, Tableau or Qlic. A real shame because during out evaluation of all 4 tools, Power BI was the leader.

I'm Head of Business Systems for 3 government organisations - this is an essential feature for them - I would fully support this implementation.
