| Deployment and hosting options | Cloud-native, delivered as part of Brivo Security Suite (cloud-managed). | Offered as either cloud-hosted in ASTRUM IT data centres or on-premise installations (modular hosting options). | If you require on-premise or local data-centre hosting (for example, German residency), VISIT explicitly supports that; Brivo is cloud-first and best when you prefer a cloud-managed unified security platform. |
|---|
| Access-control integration depth | Tight, native integration with Brivo access control and Brivo-associated video systems to provision time-limited credentials and link check-ins to camera views. | Provides integration via VISIT Connect webservice and interfaces to third-party access-control and room-management systems (modular connector approach). | Choose Brivo when you want native, single-vendor access+visitor workflows; choose VISIT when you need flexible connectors to existing heterogeneous access-control systems or specific third‑party room/Wi‑Fi integrations. |
|---|
| Identity verification and sanctions screening | Product pages describe identity verification capabilities and video-linked verification, but explicit sanctions-list checking was not emphasized in the Brivo summary. | Explicitly documents sanctions-list (Sanktionslisten) comparisons and identity/document (passport/ID) checks as standard security features. | VISIT is a stronger match for regulated sites requiring formal sanctions and document screening; Brivo focuses on visual verification and linking to access events. |
|---|
| Logistics/yard and vehicle handling | Positioned toward visitor and unified security use; no logistics/yard management module documented. | Includes a dedicated VISIT Logistics module with truck call-off, weighing and licence-plate recognition for yard/vehicle workflows. | If your site has significant yard, truck or LKW workflows, VISIT directly addresses those needs; Brivo is less targeted at yard/logistics scenarios. |
|---|
| Evacuation/mustering features | Provides real-time mustering lists and emergency roll-call integrated with visitor records and access events. | Also produces evacuation/attendance lists and supports muster reports; evacuation capability is explicitly listed. | Both systems support evacuation roll-call; choose based on other factors (access integration, hosting, hardware) rather than evacuation feature presence alone. |
|---|
| Kiosk and hardware support | Supports self-service kiosks, badge printing and QR/contactless check-in; kiosk hardware referenced as optional. | Documents kiosk systems and peripheral device support (card printers, scanners, barcode readers) and accessories; hardware support included in modular descriptions. | Both support kiosk-based check-in and peripherals; VISIT provides explicit peripheral lists and logistics-specific hardware references, which may simplify procurement for varied device needs. |
|---|
| Contractor and induction management | Described capabilities include preregistration, screening, temporary credentials and host notifications; contractor-specific induction modules were not emphasized. | Includes contractor/visitor induction modules and explicit workflows for contractor management in modular product family. | If contractor induction and formal onboarding workflows (training/e-learning) are important, VISIT’s documented induction modules are a stronger fit; Brivo supports contractor check-ins but emphasizes unified security context. |
|---|
| Reporting, compliance and audit controls | Configurable data retention, role-based permissions, audit logs, exportable records and reporting, plus SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications stated for visitor data storage. | Provides comprehensive reporting, audit-capable records and mentions suitability for standards/certifications (for example, IFS); GDPR-capable data-retention controls and local hosting are emphasized. | Both offer audit-ready reporting; choose Brivo when you want vendor-held, certified cloud controls (SOC2/ISO stated); choose VISIT when you need GDPR/local residency or IFS-focused reporting and on-prem options. |
