FAQs
Insightful self-hosted employee monitoring software is typically fully operational within two weeks. The implementation itself may take only a few days, but the full process includes infrastructure discovery, requirements gathering with your team, and agent setup on each machine. Our team builds each rollout to minimize disruption to your existing workflows.
On-premise product support is provided online through our support team. To protect data security, our team can only access your data with your explicit permission during the support process. Your internal technical department is responsible for ongoing maintenance and operations of the systems running in your environment. Insightful will partner with your team on anything related to our application and service.
Updates run through a single command line that can be automated to minimize the work required from your team. The update process requires internet access, which you provide when prompted at update time if it is not already available.
The only external connection Insightful's on-premise deployment requires is to Insightful's licensing service. Insightful is currently developing an updated solution to remove the need for this external connection.
On-premise employee monitoring software is a monitoring platform installed and run entirely on a company's own servers instead of a vendor's cloud infrastructure. The organization controls where data is stored, how long it is retained, and who can access it. Businesses choose on-premise deployment when internal compliance policy, data residency rules, or security posture rule out storing employee activity data on a third-party server.
Yes. Insightful's on-premise deployment is built with the same feature set as the cloud platform, including employee monitoring, productivity analytics, time tracking, screenshots, and reporting. Choosing on-premise changes where your data lives and who controls the infrastructure. It does not reduce the feature set you get access to.
On-premise pricing depends on employee count, deployment tier, and infrastructure requirements. Insightful's on-premise licensing is available starting at 250 employees, with tier-based options described in the licensing section above. Contact our sales team for a quote based on your specific deployment.
Yes. Insightful's on-premise deployment installs within existing Active Directory environments and connects with SIEM, BI analytics, and other local systems already in place, so IT teams do not need to rebuild access management around a new tool.
Insightful deploys across Google Cloud, VMware ESXi, and Microsoft Hyper-V, or additional platforms supporting the OVA template image. There is also a possibility of non-standard installations in certain cases; book a demo with our team to discuss custom needs.
