A delivered analytics product
It includes automated collection, a historical SQL repository, operational controls, a semantic model, and a Power BI report. It is more than a template or one-time dashboard file.

Product facts last reviewed: July 18, 2026Scope clarity
What UsageVault is—and is not.
Not a replacement portal
The analytics are delivered in Power BI so teams can use familiar permissions, distribution, and authoring workflows.
Customer-controlled by design
The standard architecture keeps usage history in infrastructure the customer controls, with customer-defined access, retention, and backup practices.
Independent from Microsoft
UsageVault complements Power BI but is not a Microsoft product, partner claim, endorsement, or substitute for required Microsoft licensing.
