User Testimonials
	HID SAFE	Verkada
Likelihood to Recommend	HID Global If you have turnstile before entry point. use it. Just make sure that you have regular fire drills and see that the deactivation of turnstile works fine. Otherwise it can create a havoc at the time of emergency. Biggest problem lies when there is outside huddle and people are coming back. Since everyone has to touch the card to access in, it takes a lot of time of the queue to enter. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Verkada They need to be powered where there is ethernet. This makes it hard for areas outside in larger fields and such (that are not tied to that). But for a hard-wired business, that wants to do away from home run copper back to the on-prem box, this is a great alternative.

Cons	HID Global No answers on this topic	Verkada Vape sensing archive downloads don't tie in with contextual camera. Incentivized JL John Langrill Director of Technology and Campus Management Read full review
Alternatives Considered	HID Global No answers on this topic	Verkada We looked at Meraki/Cisco cameras, as well as various on-prem servers. Nothing really stacked up when it came to features, cost, and ease of use. Meraki/Cisco came the closest but the licensing was not ideal.

Return on Investment	HID Global No answers on this topic	Verkada It was initially cheaper to get the system install. Time savings for myself has paid over ten times it's worth. All positive ROI. Incentivized JL John Langrill Director of Technology and Campus Management Read full review
