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

SchoolPass fit considerations

Several product pages (pricing and contractor pages) were access-limited and should be reviewed directly with vendor.
Limited reporting customization
Initial learning curve
Limited administrative / super-admin controls
Technical glitches, downtime, or connection issues
