Key differences

Factor	Joan Workplace	Vizito	Buyer meaning
Buyer fit (primary compliance/regulatory emphasis)	Joan targets unified workplace resource management (rooms, desks, parking, assets) with visitor management as one capability within a broader platform.	Vizito focuses primarily on visitor management with explicit positioning for GDPR/NIS2-readiness and ISO 27001 certification for regulated, multi-site EU organisations.	If regulatory certification and an EU-first security posture are primary procurement criteria, Vizito presents clearer evidence. If you need a single platform to manage many workplace resources alongside visitor flows, Joan is more applicable.
Data residency & certifications	Vendor pages describe hosting in EU-based Google Cloud data centres in product text but hosting regions and SLA details are not published in the analyzed evidence.	States visitor data is hosted exclusively in European data centres and the vendor declares ISO 27001 certification and NIS2 readiness.	Vizito provides stronger, explicit describes for EU hosting and certification; Joan's hosting assertions are incomplete in published materials, which increases due diligence needs.
Scope of platform (workplace breadth vs. focused VMS)	Broad workplace management platform covering rooms, desks, parking, assets, interactive floorplans, analytics and optional purpose-built e-ink hardware.	Focused visitor management feature set covering kiosk/QR check-in, pre-registration, screening, badge printing, host notifications and multi-location administration.	Choose Joan when you need multi-resource workplace management; choose Vizito when your procurement is specifically for an enterprise-grade visitor management solution.
Hardware and deployment options	Supports purpose-built e-paper displays, tablets, LCDs and mentions PoE/battery mounting options; hardware is a visible differentiator.	Supports iPadOS, Android and browser/Windows kiosks; emphasizes cloud deployment and unlimited kiosks per location under per-location pricing.	If you plan to use dedicated e-ink door/room displays or vendor-supplied hardware, Joan lists purpose-built device support. For standard tablet/browser kiosks and lightweight cloud deployment, Vizito aligns with self-serve multi-kiosk deployments.
Visitor journey features (check-in methods)	Mobile apps (iOS/Android), QR and NFC scanning, geolocation check-in, pre-registration, customizable badges and check-in workflows as part of broader booking flows.	QR and smartphone check-in, tablet/browser kiosks, pre-registration, configurable sign-in flows, visitor screening, digital agreements and badge printing; strong host notification options (email/SMS/Teams/Slack).	Both support modern touchless and kiosk flows, but Vizito provides more explicit host-notification channels and configuration options focused on visitor workflows; Joan bundles visitor flows into a larger workplace experience.
Evacuation & emergency management	Visitor digital logs and analytics are published; explicit evacuation/emergency alert capabilities are not detailed in the provided Joan evidence.	Explicit emergency alerts and real-time on-site visibility/evacuation overview are stated features.	For sites where evacuation must be demonstrably supported and reported, Vizito supplies explicit product-level describes; Joan's materials lack a published evacuation workflow in the analyzed assets.
Access control and integrations	Lists OAuth2, Google, Microsoft 365, SCIMv2-compatible identity providers and role-based access control; calendar sync (Google, Outlook, Exchange) described for room booking.	Integrations include Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Microsoft Bookings, Teams, Slack, Aerohive, webhooks and a REST API; identity and Teams/Slack notifications are explicit.	Both have enterprise identity and calendar integration signals; Vizito lists a broader set of direct integrations for communication platforms and ACS adapters in the analyzed content, which may reduce custom integration work for those ecosystems.
Contractor management and specialised workflows	Visitor pre-registration and digital badges are supported, but specialist contractor registration or safety-brief flow signals are not emphasized in published Joan materials.	Vendor materials list configurable registration fields, privacy policies, digital agreements and use cases including construction/contractor workflows and multi-location standardisation.	If the deployment requires contractor-specific workflows (safety briefings, permits, contractor staging), Vizito appears to have more targeted, published capabilities for those scenarios.
