Frequently asked questions

Why should I buy the ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App?

Whether you have used location-based data before or are new to using it, Business Analyst Web App already has a robust combination of public data (Census, ACS for the US), global demographic data, and streets data to be used and explored right away for areas you are interested in. 

Unlike other applications, Business Analyst Web App has in-app guided tours for all key features so that you can get started on day one and create a stunning visual within minutes. Our team has seamlessly incorporated the data and tools to calculate accurate drive time areas and data at varying scales so you can spend less time managing data and move right into gaining location-based insights. 

What is the difference between ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App Standard and ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App Advanced software licenses?

If you want quick maps and data to create beautiful charts and infographics to share with colleagues or clients, then the Standard Web App is for you. If you want to dive deeper to see gaps or surplus of businesses, rank sites based on variables, or want to customise the existing templates for the rest of the organisation, then the Advanced Web App would be perfect for you.

If you want to see a list of capabilities by software license, then please visit our help documentation.

What is the difference between the ArcGIS Business Analyst Standard bundle and the ArcGIS Business Analyst Advanced bundle?

The Standard bundle provides access to the Business Analyst Standard software license, the mobile app, credits, and user license. The Advanced bundle provides the Business Analyst Advanced software, the mobile app, credits, and user license as well as ArcGIS Pro Basic and ArcGIS Business Analyst Pro.

What is the difference between buying a bundle versus a software license?

Our product bundles are ideal for you if you are new to Business Analyst products. It packages the user types, credits, and other associated applications that are needed to get you started and succeed.
