Enterprise visitor management systems are impressive. They offer badge printing, watchlist screening, pre-registration workflows, integration with corporate directories, and dozens of other features. They're designed for large corporations with dedicated security teams, IT departments to manage the systems, and budgets to match.
For most organizations, they're massive overkill.
The problem isn't that these features are bad—it's that they come with proportional complexity and cost. Implementation takes months. Training is extensive. Maintenance requires ongoing IT support. And the price tag often runs into thousands of dollars per year, per location.
Meanwhile, your actual need might be straightforward: track who visits, notify hosts when guests arrive, and have a record for compliance or reporting. You don't need to print badges. You don't need to integrate with Active Directory. You don't need pre-registration workflows with approval chains.
Clerkcat is built for organizations that need professional visitor management without the enterprise overhead. You get the core features that actually matter—digital check-in, host notifications, visitor logs, and exportable reports—in a package that anyone can set up and manage. No IT department required. No implementation project. No extensive training.
This isn't about having fewer capabilities; it's about having the right capabilities without paying for features you'll never use. Many organizations find that 90% of what they need comes from a focused solution, and the other 10% they thought they needed turns out to be unnecessary complexity.

Enterprise pricing and implementation costs put these systems out of reach for many organizations.
If you don't need badge printing, watchlist screening, and corporate integrations, why pay for them?
Getting an enterprise system running can take months of planning and setup.
Someone has to maintain, update, and troubleshoot these systems—usually IT staff.
More features often means more steps for visitors, leading to longer check-in times.
Clerkcat is the better choice if any of these apply:
Enterprise systems make sense for large corporations with complex security requirements. For everyone else, Clerkcat delivers the features you actually need at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
