What to know about Visitly
Visitly’s documented workflow starts with kiosk or QR check-in, then can capture a photo and government ID, collect signed acknowledgments, screen against watchlists and notify a host. Pre-registration can move invitations and documents such as NDAs ahead of arrival; recurring contractors can use profiles for faster return visits. Security and operations teams share a live presence view and audit record, while the platform also describes evacuation roll calls and emergency broadcasts. Its stated buying model is per location, starting at $1,000 per location per year, with larger deployments directed to sales. This makes the published unit useful for site-based budgeting, while the page does not provide a full schedule of plan prices. Visitly’s stated hardware approach includes BYO iPad and printer, and its pages describe integrations spanning identity, access control, notifications and SIEM. Consider how the site’s screening and safety workflows map to visitor, contractor and emergency procedures.

Strengths
- Combines visitor check-in, watchlist screening, approvals and audit records in the described workflow.

- Describes evacuation roll calls, drill mode and emergency broadcasts alongside visitor management.
- Publishes a starting per-location annual price and states that SSO and the audit log are included.
Fit considerations
- The published starting price is a per-location figure, so buyers should map it against their site count and the specific features they plan to use.
- The pages distinguish feature availability by plan for some capabilities, including watchlist screening and SCIM.
Questions to ask
- Which sites, visitor types and contractor flows should be included in the initial rollout?
- Which identity, PACS, SIEM, notification and emergency-system connections are needed?
- Which visitor screening, retention and evacuation workflows are required at each location?
- How does the per-location starting price compare with the total site count and required plan features?
- How well does Visitly match your busiest visitor, contractor, or reception workflow?
Implementation notes
- The overview describes BYO iPad and printer and basic setup in under an hour.
- Define location-specific policies, visitor types, screening rules and retention settings for the sites in scope.
