Avigilon Access Control Manager (ACM) vs. Comcast Business SmartOffice

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.

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.

The ease of use is pretty remarkable when it comes to using this product. I have used other security monitoring systems in the past but Comcast Business SmartOffice is pretty unique with its ease of use. I recommend it to anyone and think it has less buffering speed than other systems in the past I have used.
