On-premises biometric attendance keeps all data on your own servers, while cloud attendance is hosted by the vendor. The right choice depends on your data-control, connectivity and compliance needs.
When on-premises wins
- You must keep biometric data in-house for GDPR or data-residency rules.
- You operate in government, healthcare, banking or other regulated sectors.
- You have on-site IT and want full control of access and retention.
When cloud wins
- You have distributed or fast-scaling teams.
- You want low upfront cost and minimal maintenance.
- You need staff to clock in from anywhere.
Why not both?
NCheck deploys on-premises, in the cloud, or offline — so you can match the deployment to each site. Crucially, on-premises means biometric data never has to leave your control, answering the question cloud-only tools can’t: where does our biometric data go?
FAQ
Is on-premises harder to run? It carries more upfront setup but lower long-run cost and maximum control.
