# Analytics & Reports

## What are Analytics and Reports? 

With Analytics and Reports, eliona offers 2 powerful tools for evaluating and visualizing data. Both tools are indispensable for intelligently using existing infrastructure data, optimizing processes, and saving costs.

## How do Analytics and Reports differ?

### Analytics

Analytics are used for graphical visualization of information. With Eliona’s extensive library, you can create meaningful, professional data visualizations and graphs in no time at all — if desired, even with interactive elements.

### Reports

Reports are a list of data. You can define in detail which data should be listed for which assets and even integrate existing analytics. You can automate the creation of reports: at times you specify and based on predefined criteria, eliona then automatically generates reports. Eliona can also send these reports entirely independently by email to stakeholders you have defined.
