We are thrilled to showcase Alocity and its access control platform. Alocity is a new player in the industry, having been founded in 2020 and is currently based in Florida. As expected of a new company, Alocity has a limited social media presence and hardware reviews. However, Alocity has already started gaining attention and has won a few awards, including the Best New Product for its Access control platform at this year’s ISC West. In this blog, we will explore the features of Alocity’s platform, the access credentials they offer, and the pros and cons of their solution.

What to watch out for

It is worth noting that the availability of online reviews for this particular product is quite limited, making it rather challenging to gauge the quality of the service provided. Moreover, given that the product is relatively new to the market, there is a dearth of testimonials and reviews. As such, it can be difficult to ascertain whether the product is truly effective or not. 

The lack of online reviews for Alocity’s platform made it rather difficult to gauge the quality of its hardware, the backend service it provides, and whether the overall platform works well together.  Moreover,  Alocity’s platform appears to be missing valuable real-world case studies that showcase its functionality and potential benefits. Despite efforts to locate such case studies, they seem to be nonexistent, leaving potential users with little information about the platform’s practical applications.

Summary

In its current form, Alocity is an intriguing new access control platform that has a good chance of competing with some of the larger industry players, although that’s a few years down the line. At the very least winning ISC West’s Best New Product, it signals that their access control platform is unique. However, in its current form, Alocity’s platform is kind of a mystery. Limited customer feedback and a lack of case studies make it a difficult product line to recommend today. But in a few years, it may be the product our customers are asking for.
