Degree of coupling required between visitor workflows and on-site Kisi hardware
Integration depth with existing directories and security operations (SSO, SCIM, VMS)

Does the vendor provide native mobile apps or is browser access sufficient for your use case? —
Are required integrations (SSO, CRM, calendar, SMS carriers) available on the chosen plan or reserved for Enterprise? —
Which existing workplace, identity, messaging, or access systems should this connect with?
Which plan structure best matches your number of locations, visitor volume, and rollout timeline?
