Genetec vs Acre Security: SMA quote came in way higher than expected
SMA quote landed last week and it\'s well over budget, so now I\'m doing the homework I should have done a while ago.
We\'ve had Gen͏etec across 5 sites and around 40 doors. It\'s been mostly fine. What bothers me is how locked in we are, and how every small change needs a conversation with the integrator.
Got pointed toward Acre S͏ecurity, apparently the licensing is more straightforward, but I don\'t know anyone actually running it.
Both are Mer͏cury so a swap wouldn\'t mean replacing controllers, which is the only reason I\'m considering it. What I can\'t get a read on is whether Acre holds up in production or if it just demos well.
Trying to work out if it\'s worth the switch or if I just suck up the renewal.
