When companies start scaling past 100 employees, conversations around time tracking quickly change. It’s no longer just about “what are people working on?” it’s about data governance, employee trust, operational insights, and system compatibility.

Here are the questions large organizations are asking and how ManicTime answers them.

Can we host everything ourselves?

Yes.

ManicTime is one of the few time tracking platforms that can be fully self-hosted. You can run the server inside your firewall or in your private cloud. Your data stays exactly where you want, it is never sent to us or anyone else.

Is ManicTime GDPR/CCPA/HIPAA compliant?

Yes, when properly deployed.

ManicTime is designed to support compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA through self-hosted deployment, zero third-party data sharing, customizable retention policies, and full audit trails.

For HIPAA, ManicTime can be part of a compliant environment if deployed on infrastructure you control and configured according to HIPAA security and privacy standards. Since ManicTime does not transmit or process data externally, compliance depends on how your organization manages access, encryption, and physical/server security.

What happens to our data?

You own it (when you run ManicTime Server on premise)

All activity data is stored on your infrastructure, not ours. ManicTime doesn’t process, share, or even see your data. You control access, backups, retention, and deletion policies.

Will it work with our existing tools?

Yes.

ManicTime provides a REST API, database access, and export formats compatible with payroll systems, ERPs, and BI platforms like Power BI or Tableau.

You’re not locked into a proprietary ecosystem.

Can it really handle 1000+ users?

Absolutely.

ManicTime Server is optimized for high-scale deployments. Centralized administration, silent MSI deployment, Active Directory integration, and fast synchronization make it ideal for large organizations.

How do we manage it across teams?

With centralized configuration tools.

You can enforce policies, push settings, deploy updates, and track usage all from a central location. Whether you’re managing 5 teams or 50 departments, you stay in control.

Will employees find it intrusive?

ManicTime gives you full control over what is tracked and how. You can configure it to collect only high-level app usage or go as deep as document names, visited websites, or even screenshots if needed. Everything is customizable to your organization’s privacy policies and cultural expectations.

Is the reporting flexible enough for us?

Yes.

You can build custom reports, export raw data, or plug into the live database. Whether it’s for HR, Finance, or Operations, ManicTime delivers the visibility you need with zero lock-in.

Can we control which data is tracked and who can access it?

Yes.

ManicTime gives you full flexibility to define exactly what is tracked from application and website usage to document names and screenshots. Access to the data is controlled through role-based permissions so you always know who can see what.

Can we run this in a zero-internet or air-gapped environment?

Yes.

ManicTime can run entirely within your network with no internet connection required. It’s ideal for secure or restricted environments such as government, military, healthcare, or finance where cloud-based solutions are not permitted.
