<p class="MsoNormal">I am also interested and would love to hear if anyone has taken on Power BI vs. library stats tools. I’ve been playing with Power BI lately and I was going to sit through some Lynda.com tutorials. I haven’t gotten very far. I have also
been asking around about Redlink and have gotten mixed reviews mainly about product roll-out.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I’m interested to know if anyone out there has compared Springshare’s LibInsight with business intelligence apps such as Microsoft Power BI. The subscription cost of LibInsight is significant
enough to make me consider how difficult it would be to accomplish the same goals using tools already available to us through our institution’s Office 365 license. Are any libraries currently using Power BI for collecting datasets from various sources (usage
stats, circulation, gate count, reference/instruction, etc.) and constructing interactive dashboards and visualizations? If so, I’d be interested in learning about your experiences.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
