I am looking into monitoring usage on application Think-Cell which is an add-in to PowerPoint and Excel. Are there any out-of-the-box reporting I can benefit from? Any recommendations is highly appreciated.

Hello,
Think-Cell is a MS Powerpoint and Excel plugin, and unfortunately there is nothing out there which monitors usage. I asked Think-Cell myself.
What type of reporting are you want?
If you go to the app itself you can see last used date / Run time / Number of Runs.
Thanks for the feedback. Beside looking at the app itself, I managed to locate a standard report that seemed to support my needs. The report is located in the menu of 'Reporting/Application Reports/Application Installation Details With Usage Sessions'. Running the report based on publisher Think-cell, I get Last Used together with the number of Usage Sessions. I believe this data will at the very least give me an indication of usage or not. Any thoughts on that?
Yes this report will show if there is usage or not but baring in mind think-cell is a user metric - The user may have it installed but not have a license. Think cell will prompt the user for the license key every time they open excel or power-point so it might be beneficial to check the usage time of the installations as if they are only running for a few seconds i would presume this is not actually being used.
