CardioLog Software as a Service (SaaS) now allows you to gain all the benefits of CardioLog Analytics usage reports for your SharePoint website without having to own and maintain servers or extra equipment. With all of your usage report data in the cloud, you can also now use Microsoft Power BI to visualize and understand information about your website and your visitors.
Power BI allows users to visualize and analyze their data using customizable templates in either a browser or desktop application. In order to integrate your CardioLog usage report data with Power BI, first you will need to make sure you have either the desktop application installed or the web app configured. Additionally, your company or organization will have to pre-configure integration with CardioLog. For more information, see MS Power BI support. If your company already uses Power BI for other uses, CardioLog data can easily integrate into your workflow.
While CardioLog SaaS collects all the same data as our standard on-premise edition, Power BI gives you a different set of tools to visualize that data. Some important differences include live filters directly accessible from within reports that allow you to quickly compare multiple time periods and Microsoft's intelligent question based filters. You can also combine report modules from different sources, for example you can view site usage data collected by CardioLog alongside usage data from a mobile app and company sales reports.
