Migrate from Xensam
Stop spying on employees. Start measuring resource utilisation.
Xensam measures license utilization primarily through continuous foreground application focus tracking captured via its endpoint agent. Mima takes a privacy-first approach: we detect the application locally and verify actual active work using multi-signal resource utilization (CPU, file I/O, network bandwidth, GPU render loads), preventing surveillance-like activity logs from leaving the device.
Foreground/activity-based focus tracking carries real regulatory exposure in parts of the EU — several data protection authorities, including the Netherlands', treat continuous activity tracking as disproportionate absent a documented security justification, and works councils in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden hold co-determination rights over any monitoring tool's introduction. Mima's resource-metric approach is designed to sit outside that category by design, reducing the compliance review needed before rollout.
Xensam tracks every application window focus change to measure active usage. Mima detects the application locally and verifies actual work via system resource metrics, protecting employee privacy.
