InVentry fit considerations

Outdated user interface / could be more modern
Limited branding/customization options
Poor support responsiveness and communication (slow replies, having to chase)
System reliability and recurring technical problems
Long issue resolution times

WorkInSync fit considerations

If visitor volumes are large but licensed user counts are low, per-user pricing may be suboptimal relative to visitor- or kiosk-based models.
Hardware (kiosks, sensors, tablets) is not included in plans and requires separate procurement and integration effort.
Pricing is per-user which can be costly for visitor-heavy organisations where many guests do not count as licensed users; hardware (kiosks, sensors, tablets) is billed separately per the pricing FAQ.
Some advanced capabilities (custom dashboards, integrations, sensor management) are gated to Enterprise tier, requiring higher per-user spend for large deployments.
Total cost for visitor-heavy sites when licensing is per-user vs visitor-based pricing
