10. Should we install Fiori App Usage Report on SAP Solution Manager?
SAP Solution Manager is a very good choice when it comes to using Fiori App Usage Report and Fiori Tracker suite tools when your main landscape can get temporarily offline (upgrades and other maintenance activities). The only reason we do not encourage our users to use SAP Solution Manager is that most of the installations are on NetWeaver below 7.52 while Fiori Tracker Suite component need at least NetWeaver 7.52. If your SAP Solution Manager is on 7.52 then it is a perfect place for installation.
11. Do you have a demo of the application?
We can arrange a call to demo Fiori App Usage Report on our systems. Please let us know using the "Get an offer" on the main page if you would like to have a call. We will send the timing proposition.

Please check the summary.
13. What is the Fiori App Usage impact on applications and system performance?
Fiori App usage impacts overall system performance as little as possible. See the details in Fiori App Usage performance influence section.
14. Why should we use a third-party solution instead of waiting for the same function delivered by SAP out of the box?
Any solution to the application usage reporting problem will require identifying the applications covered by the project. As the Fiori App Usage Report's key aspect is the identification, you can start tracking the app's usage with the Fiori App Usage report and leverage the same app identification records if the standard out-of-the-box solution will be developed.
