Analysis
The visitor book on the reception desk looks free. In practice it shows every visitor's details to the next one, cannot run a roll-call, and quietly keeps personal data for as long as nobody throws it away.
Analysis
Our directory sorts visitor management into four categories of roughly equal size. They overlap on the sign-in screen and diverge almost everywhere else, which is why a shortlist should start with the category, not the feature list.
Guide
Sign-in is the visible part. The reason organisations buy a VMS is usually evacuation lists, contractor compliance and knowing who was in the building on a given afternoon.
