SharePoint is one of the most powerful tools in the Microsoft 365 suite. But let’s be honest—just having it isn’t enough. You need to know how people are using it, what’s working, and where things are going wrong. That’s where CardioLog Analytics comes in.
While other analytics tools might give you surface-level numbers like page views or document clicks, CardioLog goes deeper. It gives you the kind of insights that actually help you make better decisions for your business.
In this blog, we’ll explore how you can go from raw data to real action using CardioLog—and why it’s better than other tools out there.
- Understand What Users Are Really Doing on SharePoint
Sure, you might see a report that says a page had 1,000 views last month. But what does that mean?
With CardioLog, you can see:
- How long people stay on each page
- Where they click after visiting a page
- Which pages they bounce from
This tells you whether your content is actually helpful—or if people are just clicking around and leaving frustrated.
Example: A global company noticed their HR policy page had high traffic, but most users left in under 10 seconds. CardioLog helped them realize the file link was buried at the bottom. After redesigning the page, time on page increased by 230%.
- See What’s Not Working (And Fix It Fast)
CardioLog doesn’t just track what’s being used—it shows you what’s being ignored:
- Unused document libraries
- Empty or outdated SharePoint sites
- Pages with broken links or missing metadata
You can clean up your SharePoint environment, reduce clutter, and make navigation easier for everyone.
Unlike other tools, CardioLog offers site usage heatmaps and navigation path analysis—so you know exactly what users are trying to find (and where they’re getting lost).
- Make Smarter, Faster Decisions with Custom Reports
Need a report on how your new HR portal is performing? Or which department uses SharePoint the most?
CardioLog lets you:
- Create custom dashboards by team, role, location, or device
- Track internal campaigns like onboarding or policy updates
- Monitor adoption of new features or intranet rollouts
And the best part? You don’t need to be a data scientist to use it. The dashboards are easy to read and quick to customize.
Real Use Case: One client used CardioLog to track onboarding document views and saw that 40% of new hires never opened the checklist. A follow-up campaign increased completion by 70%.
- Stay Compliant and Secure with Smart Monitoring
Security and governance matter, especially when people are working remotely and sharing files more than ever.
CardioLog keeps you covered by:
- Tracking external file sharing
- Monitoring permission changes
- Alerting you on risky behavior (like mass downloads or unusual access times)
Other tools give basic logs. CardioLog alerts you in real-time so you can act before issues become problems.
Bonus: We offer behavioral anomaly detection, something you won’t find in standard Microsoft tools.
- Go Beyond Microsoft’s Built-In Reports
Microsoft 365 does have built-in analytics—but let’s face it, they’re limited.
| Feature | Microsoft Analytics | CardioLog Analytics |
| Tracks individual user journeys | ❌ | ✅ |
| Heatmaps for SharePoint pages | ❌ | ✅ |
| Inactive content reports | ❌ | ✅ |
| Campaign performance tracking | ❌ | ✅ |
| Custom KPIs by department | Limited | ✅ |
| Real-time behavioral alerts | ❌ | ✅ |
With CardioLog, you get the full picture—not just the highlights.
