how to know the usage time of a device and an app?

Hello, I want to get device usage data at the group level as well as the usage time of the different apps, specifically chrome.

To control the time of use of the devices I have tried to use Device connectivity Activity report, but this measures the time that the device is connected, so if the equipment is locked or charging without anyone using it, it will give me a time of use not real.

On the other hand, I have tried to use the foreground App Data collection rule, and I get in each period of time the app that is in the foreground on a certain device. Is there a possibility to convert this into a% usage statistic or graph?

I don't know if soti has other simpler methods to know how and how much a device is used (perhaps soti assist), I am still getting too complicated and there are simpler and more effective ways?

Any hint is welcome.

Im using STI 14.4.9.1034 and Android Enterprise with Android 9.

It depends on how you want to get these data and how many devices you want to lookup.

We are looking for something like that and when i'm right we got the information that this would be "Soti Insight", but includes purchase of licenses for that.

If you have only a few devices to look for that and you are not aware to do that on each device remotely you can do that whith several apps (search for app usage in playstore). But the device users can see that too and i haven't seen an app sharing this data in a file which could be grabbed.

No other way is known to us for now.

Hello, thank you Rafael, we have 250 devices to look so i think we must use Soti Insight and purchase licenses.

Thank for your help!
