Take a look at the site usage reports you have per site basics...if those reports are not enough, then you have:
(1) To think on a custom solution that for instance uses Google Analytics or Application Insights
(2) To use a third party product

    Thanks jcgonzalezmartin for the reply.

    The standard site usage functionality doesn't help as we are looking to understand total views, unique views for each of our files, folders, site pages and links. 

    However, OOTB site usage only helps with 10 files or pages in max.

    We have Adobe Analytics approved within the firm for usage. I saw somebody mention that Azure application insights or Microsoft Graph can also be used which i am not aware about.

    I only have knowledge on Power BI- so was thinking if we should hire a consultant or is that something i can learn and pick up since there is no time pressure. I don't have developer experience though. 

    Can you please suggest which all technologies would need to be used to achieve what we want and if there is a link explaining the steps or video or any similar conversation- it would be great.

    Please help! Thanks
