C1 fit considerations

Resolving complex/broad-scope issues can require coordination across multiple specialized team members
Support responses can sometimes be delayed or require escalation
Upstream vendor outages may involve limited communication and need escalation
Service expertise can be costly
Project delivery or troubleshooting may be slower or difficult initially

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
