Support ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server.

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

This is a terrible decision! reconsider this now I will shutdown our power BI activiti

Competing products that offer this service and have done so for a long time.

There is no need to use Power BI if microsoft does not want to be a part of the best BI tools

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

We are healthcare providers and usage of ESRI map will help us greatly in making the right policy/decisions and priorities.

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

We are an emergency service organization and this would be a highly desirable feature and probably one of the reasons which may force the use of Tableau if this is not to be implemented as an on-premise environment. Not a good decision.

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

We need it too. In my job is a necessary feature!

There is an approximate date to solve?

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

The ability to create R and ESRI visuals in the desktop tool but not publish those visuals to Report Server is extremely dissapointing for anyone who (obviously wants to, but) cannot push data into the cloud.

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

This is a terrible decision! Please reconsider this, since we don't have the option to become "cloud-oriented"!

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

I don't get it. Microsoft yields to on-prem customer pressure and develops Power BI Report Server, and then immediately culls the addition of critical features to it.

With dashboards, R visuals and ArcGIS all confirmed as never to be added, Power BI Report Server is dead.

With many engine features now not requiring an Enterprise licence I can see a lot of customers scaling back to Standard.

How any of this makes sense for Microsoft's shareholders is beyond me.

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

'This is extremely disappointing, particularly as it is available on the PBI Service version. It was a key feature my organisation were waiting for.

Chris Finlan:
- Could this decision be reconsidered?
- Would it be possible to provide any further information as to why it is not planned or if an alternative is being considered? Issue between ESRI and Microsoft?
- "And of course, you’ll continue to see investments in these capabilities in the Power BI service going forward". What is the future for PBI report server then? No further investment?
