BI Pixie - know your Power BI audience using Power BI usage and engagement metrics

BI Pixie is an innovative solution that tracks and analyzes the engagement of your Power BI audience. BI Pixie provides you so much more than the default page views you can get in Power BI. With BI Pixie you can track session durations, interactions per sessions, users, filtered values and column names used in slicers, clicks on bookmarks and hyperlinks, drill-throughs, tooltip views, and more. With best-of-breed user adoption and attrition KPIs such as DAU, WAU and MAU and time intelligence, you can know your BI audience and drive informed decisions on your future BI investments.


What's New in This Version:

You can now analyze the effectiveness of your report design. Using new scores for Complexity, Usability and Passivity, BI Pixie helps you identify ineffective design patterns in your reports.


Recent Features:

  • BI Pixie was featured by Microsoft in Power BI September 2024 Feature Summary [here].
