Checked on November 4, 2026 against the vendor's pricing source. Prices change; confirm with the vendor before you buy.

Strengths

Works with any SVG: each named shape becomes a data point you can colour, label and filter on.
Multiple maps and drill between them on paid editions.
OKVIZ's online Synoptic Designer traces bitmaps (.jpg, .png) into SVG areas, and OKVIZ documents starting from a prompt to generate a Synoptic-ready SVG with general AI assistants (ChatGPT, Codex, Claude or Grok).
Maps can be embedded in the report or loaded from remote URLs, GitHub or OKVIZ's My Storage hosting (100 MB, optionally client-side encrypted), and swapped with a slicer.

Limits

Free edition: a single local map, at most 15 data points, and no Report Server or embedded use.
Not certified, because it can load external maps; the certified Synoptic Panel Lite drops remote maps and My Storage.
Prices are not published on the product page.

Certification and tenant notes

Not certified on the check date (the listing declares it can access external services). Synoptic Panel Lite by OKVIZ is the certified, per-user edition.

Microsoft certifies visuals whose code it has reviewed and that make no external calls; certified visuals work in PowerPoint/PDF export and email subscriptions, and admins can restrict a tenant to certified visuals only (Microsoft Learn). To see whether your tenant allows an uncertified visual in the service, Desktop, exports and subscriptions, run the free custom visual tenant check.

When native Power BI is enough

Our take: Power BI has no native image-region visual. The shape map handles TopoJSON regions, and a scatter chart over a background image can fake points, but neither colours arbitrary areas of a floor plan.

Build your own version

Generate a visual that does the part of Synoptic Panel by OKVIZ you need

VizForge's Synoptic Panel builder takes a floor-plan or diagram image, detects the areas for you to review and name, and builds a .pbiviz that colours each area from your data. Bring a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF.

What it costs

One map costs 15 credits, once. The smallest pack that covers it is the Pro Pack: $24.99 for 30 credits, which leaves room for a few refinements. No per-user or annual fee: the file is yours.

Synoptic Panel by OKVIZ's vendor doesn't publish a per-user list price, so we don't estimate one.

Honest trade-offs

Not Microsoft-certified: Power BI only shows certified custom visuals in PowerPoint/PDF exports and email subscriptions, and tenants that allow certified visuals only will block it unless an admin deploys it as an organizational visual.
You own the .pbiviz and its TypeScript source, so there is no per-user licence and nothing expires; you also maintain it yourself when Power BI changes.
The output differs: VizForge's Synoptic Panel builder turns your floor-plan image into its own standalone .pbiviz with the areas baked in, while Synoptic Panel keeps the SVG as data inside a maintained, multi-map visual. With VizForge, changing the image means building again.
The Synoptic Panel builder costs 15 credits per map (area detection included), more than a prompt-generated visual.

FAQ

Is Synoptic Panel by OKVIZ free?

There is a free edition limited to one local map and 15 data points, without Report Server or embedded support. Paid licences remove the limits.

Why isn't Synoptic Panel certified?

Its listing says it can access external services, because it can load maps from remote URLs. Microsoft does not certify visuals that call external services. OKVIZ publishes a certified Lite edition without remote maps.

How much does Synoptic Panel cost?

OKVIZ offers per-user licences through Microsoft Marketplace and per-user-tier, capacity or site licences directly; prices are not on the product page.
