Agree with other comments, we need to at least see who our top users are before we can begin getting real value from this otherwise awesome new feature!

It's great to be able to see the volume of views (and perhaps a little disappointing when the numbers aren't all you would expect.) From a business perspective, however, I need to know where it's being used and where it's not. Knowing that can help identify training needs, and it can also allow us as administrators to prompt people to review what they're supposed to review.

With On-Prem SSRS we can obtain a large amount of statistics on report usage etc. Please implement this along with combined enterprise wide reporting.

Yes, very important to justify the expense and time commitment required to implement Power BI.

Definitely required to see who's not using the system. Please review

Need to see username for this to be really valuable.

You can get to this if you turn on auditing in power bi within the tenant setting, but it's very awkward to get to. I agree that without username it's difficult to have a sensible conversation to promote usage of a report.
