Avigilon Access Control Manager (ACM) vs. Avigilon Control Center (ACC)

There are simpler systems out there for card access. The simpler systems are not as granular. There a lot of card access pieces to ACM. ACM also requires a server so if you want a cloud based solution, this is not an option. It's best if you have staff or a local company to support the hardware and software.

Avigilon Control Center (ACC) has worked well for our
facilities, especially since we were able to link multiple types of cameras and
door access systems into one seamless tool now.
This software was the solution we were looking for when we began
searching for products that could complete the integration we needed. I think that ACC works well in most
environments for both doors and cameras.
Quite frankly the camera product seems a lot stronger resource than the
door access piece based on it features and ease of use, sometimes the door
access integration seems like a afterthought.
If anyone is searching for a resource that can bring doors and cameras
together, I would recommend ACC. If I were
only looking for a camera software, I would still recommend ACC. But if I were just searching for door access,
I would look elsewhere.

Some systems out there are not too granular. They also lacked integration with Google, which we need. With that being said ACM can sometimes make setup too complicated. Double-tap cards for instance take many steps to set up. In other systems it's a one-click setup. ACM is also compatible with Mercury boards. This is a big reason to choose ACM because the boards are not proprietary.

Avigilon Control Center (ACC) offered us something we did not
have in Verkada, Meraki, and some of the lesser-known products we were
investigating. ACC offered us a
consolidation that would allow the use of most of our current door access and
video cameras already in place.
Additionally, their cloud-based features were also quite well received
by our management and HR teams who have taken advantage of their ease of use
and ability to use the products from a computer or even their smartphones.
