Databases

What kind of databases do you use?

SenseHR runs on what is called a “single-tenanted” database. Unlike multi-tenanted databases, which many cloud-based HR systems run on, a single-tenanted database keeps your company’s data completely separate to everybody else’s. This means that your risk profile is greatly reduced – for example, in the event of a sensitive data leak, your data would be far less likely to be exposed to other clients. In contrast, on a multi-tenanted database, data leaks carry higher levels of risk, as multiple customers are sharing the same database infrastructure.

Single-tenanted databases also give you the benefit of increased performance and less downtime. This is because your database performance is not impacted by the activity of other users – for example, if Customer A runs a large report that is pulling information from thousands of data points, then it won’t slow down the performance of your own HR software account.
