    Chose Avigilon Access Control Manager (ACM)
    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 …

    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.

    I think Verkada is incredibly scalable, and could be used in a small business as well as a large business. They have 4-door controllers and 16-door controllers, and the licensing depends on how many doors you wish to utilize - so even if you have only two doors - you're not overpaying for a four-door controller, while still having the ability to expand in the future if need-be. We have rolled out their cameras and door access control across our entire district, and we love it!

    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.

    Keri Door Access Control (Doors.Net Services). It's like going from DSL to Fiber internet. We have so many more features available to us now, and we are able to divide up roles amongst administrators/front desk positions/security personnel so that the IT team doesn't have so many overhead requests to change time schedules, or pull footage when needed. I'm not a fan of recurring licensing contracts, but it seems that's the way the entire industry is going, so there's no way to escape that. Verkada's customer support is fantastic - as they have live chat, phone support and email support available 24/7. Very happy with their total product suite, and will continue using them moving forward. We have deployed door access, cameras, vape/smoke/environmental sensors, Guest visit services and doorbell/intercom systems. All is great, and integrates well within all of our buildings
