VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The visitor management system Security and IT both sign for.

A visitor management system built for the procurement gate Corporate Security and IT clear together. SSO and audit trail on every plan, watchlist on Business, SCIM on Enterprise.

SSO at every tier
Custom badges + ID scan
Watchlist screening
BYO hardware
EXPERIENCE

Designed for the people who use it daily, so the controls actually get followed.

  • iPad kiosk + web check-in · under 15-second visitor flow

  • Multi-lingual kiosk, visitor picks language at first tap

  • Multi-channel host notifications via Slack · Microsoft Teams · Webex · SMS

  • Returning-visitor recognition + recurring-contractor profile, skip the form

  • Walk-in QR sign-in when the iPad is occupied

CORE

Everything a visitor management system should do, without the upgrade gate.

  • Custom-branded badges with logo · photo · watermark · expiry

  • Government ID scan + verification (driver's license · passport · national ID)

  • Visitor pre-registration with NDA + parking + Wi-Fi delivered before arrival

  • Photo capture + signed acknowledgments time-stamped to the audit log

  • Configurable per-site policies (NDA · citizenship · PPE)

SECURITY

Audit trail at every plan. Watchlist at Business. Citizenship gating at Enterprise.

  • Internal + third-party watchlist screening

  • ITAR-aware citizenship verification per area

  • Real-time presence dashboard across every site

  • Audit log with configurable retention + SIEM event streaming

VS THE INCUMBENTS

The depth, without the tier upcharges.

vs Envoy

The lobby controls Security needs on day one, not buried behind Premium.

Envoy puts SSO, watchlist, and ID scan behind their Premium tier. Visitly ships the SSO and audit trail your IT team needs on every plan. Watchlist, ID scan, and approvals come with the next plan up.

vs FacilityOS / iLobby

One Enterprise product. No module stacking.

iLobby stacks VisitorOS, EmergencyOS, SecurityOS, and LogisticsOS as separate line items. Visitly Enterprise ships the visitor-side controls and evidence tooling your ITAR, CTPAT, OSHA, and CMMC L2 program needs. One contract. Hardware you already own.

vs Sign In Solutions

One brand, transparent pricing, real human support.

Three brands, three sites, and 'Contact us' pricing. Post-sale support is also their most-cited Capterra weakness. Visitly is none of those.

THE BASICS

What is a visitor management system?

Software that checks in, screens and records everyone who visits your sites, so security knows who is on site and can prove it later.

Every site

One console, a live view of who is on site.

Set the policy once. Each site adds its own local rules.

Every country

A kiosk in more than 150 languages.

Roll out across countries with one setup, one sign-on and one audit log.

Proof

SentinelOne: seven offices, one platform.

SOC 2 access logs for all seven sites, pulled in seconds.

WHAT BUYERS SAY

What teams tell us across the lobby, the GSOC, and the audit room.

"We compared Visitly, Envoy, and iLobby for three months. Visitly was the only one with our IT and Security teams agreeing in the same call."

"SSO worked the way the docs said it would on our base plan. SCIM came later on Enterprise. That sequence is what we needed."

"We left Envoy because SSO at the tier we could afford didn't actually include SSO. Visitly's base plan included it on day one."

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is single sign-on (SSO) included, or is it a paid upgrade?

+

It is included. SAML 2.0 single sign-on with MFA comes as standard, with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, OneLogin, Google Workspace, PingOne or any SAML or OIDC identity provider. Larger deployments can add multiple identity providers, directory sync, SCIM 2.0 provisioning and on-premises Active Directory through ADFS.

2. What is a visitor management system?

+

A visitor management system registers, screens and records everyone who enters your locations. With Visitly, visitors check in at a kiosk or by QR code in under 15 seconds, are screened against your watchlist before the badge prints, and every visit lands in an immutable audit log.

3. Can we brand visitor badges ourselves, or does it need a design team?

+

You can brand it yourselves. Add your logo, backgrounds and colors and choose which visitor details the badge shows. No design team is needed. An Advanced Badge Designer is available for more control, and visitors can also carry a digital badge in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

4. How does government ID scanning work at check-in?

+

The visitor presents a government photo ID at the kiosk during check-in. Visitly offers photo ID screening, and Smart ID verification that checks the ID for liveness, forgery and expiry. An administrator sets what happens when an ID comes back valid, invalid, unrecognized or skipped, and the result stays in the visit's audit record.

5. What does a pre-registered visitor receive before they arrive?

+

An invitation email with a QR code to scan on arrival. Hosts can invite one visitor or up to 200 at once, and the invitation can carry your branding, parking and Wi-Fi details. Visitors can sign the NDA and other documents before they arrive, so there is less to do at the kiosk.

6. Can we stream visitor data into our own SIEM instead of relying on your dashboard?

+

Yes. Visitly streams visitor and security events to your SIEM, so your security team monitors them in the systems it already uses. Every event is also written to Visitly's immutable audit log, and you set how long records are retained.

7. How is Visitly different from Envoy or FacilityOS (formerly iLobby) for procurement?

+

Visitly is one product on one contract, with single sign-on and the audit log as standard and per-location prices published. As of Q4 2026, Envoy starts single sign-on at Premium, $362 per location per month, and keeps blocklists and ID scanning in its custom-priced Enterprise plan. FacilityOS prices visitor, emergency and access control modules separately.

8. How much does a visitor management system cost?

+

Visitly is priced per location, not per user or per visitor: from $1,000 per location per year. For larger deployments, talk to sales. Single sign-on and the audit log are included. Tell us how many locations you run and we will send your pricing.
