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

Splan fit considerations

Custom reporting can be time-consuming to configure / limited reporting customization
Some requests for more third-party integrations / limited integration options
Initial learning curve for certain features
Perceived feature restrictions and concerns about upgrade frequency
Occasional data/display inconsistencies across user devices
