Criteria scores
Scores are calculated consistently from published vendor information, product evidence and review sources.
This is a directory scoring model based on public vendor pages, review data, and visible product signals. It is designed to make differences easier to scan, not to declare a universal winner.
| Factor | Modern Workspace | VisitUs | Buyer meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buyer fit (ideal customer) | Explicitly positioned for multi-location organisations, compliance-driven sites (Manufacturing, Government, Aged Care), logistics and NFP; emphasises contractors, staff sign-in and inductions. | Positioned as a workplace management platform focused on office hoteling, workspace reservations and asset management; visitor registration is mentioned but no sector specialisation or compliance focus is documented. | Choose VisitUs when you need a VMS for regulated, multi-site or contractor-heavy environments. Choose Modern Workspace when your primary need is office hoteling, desk/space management and integrated workplace tooling with light visitor features. |
| Deployment & integrations | Published integrations include API access, webhooks, SSO and directory integration; cloud-based, multi-platform sign-in (tablet, web, QR) described. | No published details on integrations or deployment model in the supplied data; procurement evidence absent. | VisitUs reduces integration risk for orgs needing SSO, directory sync or API/webhook integrations. Modern Workspace may require vendor clarification on integrations before procurement. |
| Hardware support / kiosk options | Supports tablet sign-in and QR-code flows; hardware flexibility described at a feature level but specific certified devices not published. | No published information about supported hardware or kiosk options beyond QR-code check-in/out mention. | VisitUs provides clearer tablet/QR support for kiosk deployments; Modern Workspace buyers should ask for supported device list and kiosk mounting/accessory recommendations. |
| Visitor journey / pre-registration and sign-in | Supports pre-registration via portal, mobile app, CSV upload and calendar invites; hosts alerted via mobile app, email, SMS, Microsoft Teams; includes QR codes, directions, inductions, safety videos and digital signing. | Mentions visitor registration integration and QR-code check-in/out but no detailed flow for pre-registration, host notifications, inductions or digital forms documented. | VisitUs fits organisations needing richer pre-registration, induction and host notification flows. Modern Workspace buyers should confirm whether similar pre-arrival and induction capabilities exist. |
| Contractor management | Explicitly documents contractor tracking as part of visitor/contractor/staff sign-in functionality and pre-registration; industries include construction-adjacent sectors (Logistics, Manufacturing). | No contractor-specific features documented. | If contractor induction, compliance tracking or contractor-specific workflows are required, VisitUs is the better-documented option; confirm with Modern Workspace whether contractor workflows are available. |
| Evacuation & mustering | Provides evacuation tools: mobile roll calls, safety confirmations, SMS alerts and time-stamped reports; live dashboard shows who is on site. | No evacuation/mustering capabilities published. | VisitUs is more suitable where evacuation/mustering and live occupancy roll-call are procurement requirements. Modern Workspace buyers must verify evacuation support before relying on it for emergency procedures. |
| Access control / integrations with physical access systems | APIs and integrations are published, but explicit access-control hardware integrations (for example, turnstiles, door controllers) are not documented. | No published details about access control integration. | VisitUs has integration entry points (API/SSO) that could enable access-control integration but buyers should request explicit supported access-control partners/APIs. Modern Workspace requires confirmation of access-control integration capability. |
| Pricing posture and transparency | Public pricing with free Core plan and paid per-location tiers (Essentials AUD60/location/month; Complete AUD203/location/month); 7-day trials and enterprise quotes available. | Custom / quote-based pricing only; no published plans or free tier noted. | VisitUs is better for buyers who need immediate budgetary estimates and trial access. For Modern Workspace, buyers should request detailed pricing and trial/demo options during vendor engagement. |
