Why this matters
See the difference usage analytics makes for your team.
- Usage data disappears after 30 days — no long-term trends possible
- No way to find unused reports wasting licenses every month
- Can’t tell leadership which reports justify the BI spend
- Unlimited history — adoption trends over months and years, not just weeks
- Adoption score and unused report detection identify waste immediately
- Data-driven license optimization and report retirement decisions
