Gable fit considerations

  • Limited reporting customization
  • Limited space availability in some areas
  • Booking and reservation limitations (advance booking, delayed confirmations, cut-off times, passcodes)
  • Missing integrations or requested integrations
  • Requests for more customization in desk layouts and booking categorization

IDenticard fit considerations

  • If a cloud-native, SaaS subscription with published per-user/visitor pricing is required, IDenticard’s server-based PassagePoint and non-published pricing model may not match procurement expectations
  • Server-based deployment may require IT resources for installation and ongoing maintenance compared with cloud-native SaaS alternatives
  • Need for on-premises/server-hosted solution vs cloud SaaS
  • Integration requirements with local directories, watch-list sources and access control
  • Desire to procure badges/printers from a single vendor
