Swiftlane fit considerations

  • Public site does not publish standard pricing tiers, video retention costs, or regional hosting locations — these require vendor confirmation
  • Validate hardware compatibility for each door/gate to avoid hidden retrofit costs
  • Compare video retention, analytics and SLAs vs competitors for incident response
  • 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?

Visitly fit considerations

  • Published per-location pricing and exact support SLAs vary by plan and may require direct quote for Enterprise
  • Which PACS/CCTV vendors you need supported and whether that support is included in your target tier
  • Required compliance evidence (SOC2/ISO/BAA/NIST mappings) and NDA access to reports pre-contract
  • Operational rollout complexity across multi-site deployments (SCIM, SIEM, HRIS integrations)
  • Which plan structure best matches your number of locations, visitor volume, and rollout timeline?
