IDenticard fit considerations

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

Kisi Visitor Management fit considerations

Limited reporting customization
Pricing and billing transparency/changes
Support responsiveness inconsistent or slow
