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.

Keycafe
The Keycafe system is exactly the product we required, it has replaced the previous system used for Key collection and Drop offs, and Key Management. We have not seen another product, which will suit the requirements we need. Also replacing the Keycafe would be expensive and would require a lot of work

From the very beginning, the customer service has been nothing short of incredible. Our first meeting with [...] was thorough and informative—he took the time to understand our specific needs and ensure that the product would suit us perfectly. Once we received the device, [...] went above and beyond to help us set it up and make sure we were using the software as effectively as possible, tailoring his guidance to our business needs. The team has consistently exceeded our expectations, and it’s comforting to know that they’re always available should we need further assistance.

Alternatives Considered
Motorola Solutions
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.
