VISITLY VS FACILITYOS (ILOBBY)

Visitor screening, evacuation and access control on one product and one contract, at a published per-location price. Watchlist and photo ID screening are in the price, not add-ons. Run it on iPads you own or a hardware bundle you buy.

FacilityOS facts from facilityos.com/pricing, /compare/visitly and its compliance pages, Q4 2026.
THE ANSWER TO FACILITYOS'S COMPARISON

FacilityOS calls Visitly lightweight. Here's what's in the platform.

FacilityOS's comparison page says Visitly is "designed for straightforward office environments." These are the facts it left out.

Evacuation alerts come with every site.

Emergency

FacilityOS says: "Visitly has no equivalent emergency response capability." (facilityos.com/compare/visitly, Q4 2026)

Bring your own iPads, or buy a bundle from us.

Hardware

FacilityOS says: "Visitly is software-only." (facilityos.com/compare/visitly, Q4 2026)

Visitly holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.

Security & compliance

FacilityOS says ITAR and ISO are requirements "a lightweight visitor tool like Visitly is not designed to meet." (facilityos.com/compare/visitly, Q4 2026)

Multi-site, from day one.

Multi-site

FacilityOS says Visitly is "a lightweight option for teams that need simple check-in." Its own table lists Visitly's implementation time as "< 1 Month", against "1 Month" for FacilityOS (facilityos.com/compare/visitly, Q4 2026).

SWITCH ASSIST

Move off iLobby with a pilot plant first, not a big-bang cutover.

Switch Assist handles the move. A basic setup takes under an hour and the SSO cutover a couple of days; multi-site rollouts with SCIM, PACS and HRIS take one week to one month. Time the cutover to your FacilityOS renewal. Firework migrated from Envoy in 9 days.

01

Map what you run

We walk your iLobby modules, kiosks, printers and integrations, and note which ones each site actually uses.

02

Set up Visitly

Sites imported, SSO connected to your identity provider, and kiosks set up on your iPads or a Visitly hardware bundle. SCIM, SIEM and access-control integrations are configured too.

03

Pilot one or two plants

Run them on Visitly alongside FacilityOS and compare the records side by side before you roll out further.

04

Roll out and close out

Remaining sites cut over in the order you choose, timed to your FacilityOS renewal.
