KyberAccess vs. Proxyclick / Eptura Visitor (2026): Enterprise VMS Comparison

The Acquisition Question

Proxyclick was once one of the most respected names in enterprise visitor management. Based in Brussels, they built a polished, feature-rich platform that Fortune 500 companies trusted to manage millions of visitor check-ins.

Then Eptura acquired them.

Acquisitions change products. Roadmaps shift. Teams reorganize. Support structures evolve. The Proxyclick you evaluated two years ago may not be the Eptura Visitor you’d deploy today.

KyberAccess is an independent, purpose-built visitor management platform with no parent company dictating product direction. The roadmap is driven by customer needs, not corporate portfolio strategy.

This comparison examines both platforms as they exist today — not as Proxyclick once was, but as Eptura Visitor is becoming.

Company Profiles

Proxyclick (Eptura Visitor)

Proxyclick was founded in 2010 in Brussels, Belgium. They built a strong reputation in enterprise visitor management, serving major corporations across Europe and North America. Their platform was known for polished design, robust integrations (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce), and compliance features including GDPR support.

In 2022, Eptura — a workplace management company formed by the merger of iOFFICE and SpaceIQ — acquired Proxyclick. The product has been gradually rebranded as part of the Eptura platform, which encompasses space management, desk booking, asset management, and visitor management.

Post-acquisition, Proxyclick’s independent identity has faded. The product roadmap is now determined by Eptura’s broader workplace management strategy.

KyberAccess

KyberAccess is a modern, independent visitor management platform serving organizations across education, healthcare, corporate, government, and community sectors. It offers AAMVA-compliant ID scanning, real-time background screening, sex offender registry checks, custom badge printing, event management, digital wallet passes, and a 50-state compliance center.

KyberAccess is privately held, with product decisions driven entirely by visitor management needs. It starts with a free plan and runs on any hardware.

Where Proxyclick (Eptura Visitor) Wins

Credit where it’s due — Proxyclick built genuine strengths over its 15+ years in the market.

Enterprise integrations are mature. Proxyclick’s native integrations with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, and various access control systems have been refined over years. If you’re a large enterprise that lives in Salesforce and communicates via Teams, these integrations work well out of the box.

GDPR compliance is deeply embedded. Born in Brussels, Proxyclick was built with European data privacy regulations in mind from day one. Their GDPR tools — data retention, consent management, right to erasure — are thorough and battle-tested.

Workplace management synergy. If you’re already using Eptura for space management and desk booking, adding Eptura Visitor creates a unified workplace experience. One platform for desk reservations, room bookings, and visitor management makes sense for corporate offices focused on hybrid work.

Global enterprise deployments. Proxyclick has managed deployments across hundreds of corporate offices globally. They understand multi-timezone, multi-language, multi-regulation enterprise requirements.

Analytics and reporting. Proxyclick offers detailed visitor analytics — check-in volume, peak hours, average visit duration, and host-level metrics. For corporate facilities teams optimizing lobby operations, these insights are actionable.

Polished corporate visitor experience. The check-in flow for corporate offices — host notification, NDA signing, badge printing, Wi-Fi credentials — is well-designed and creates a professional impression for business visitors.

Where KyberAccess Wins

Independence means focus. KyberAccess isn’t a feature in someone else’s platform. There’s no parent company deciding that engineering resources should shift from visitor management to desk booking. Every developer, every product decision, every support interaction is focused on visitor management.

Background screening and sex offender checks. This is a critical gap for any organization working with vulnerable populations. Schools, healthcare facilities, daycares, and community organizations need visitor screening against sex offender registries and criminal databases. Neither Proxyclick nor Eptura Visitor offers this.

Pricing transparency and accessibility. Proxyclick/Eptura doesn’t publish pricing and operates on enterprise sales cycles with custom quotes. The typical enterprise VMS contract runs $8,000–$20,000+ per year per location. KyberAccess starts at $0 and publishes its pricing publicly. No sales calls required to know what you’ll pay.

Multi-industry support. Proxyclick was built for corporate offices. KyberAccess serves schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, houses of worship, construction sites, and events — each with industry-specific workflows, compliance requirements, and check-in processes.

Event management. Corporate events, school open houses, community gatherings — KyberAccess handles event-specific visitor management with pre-registration, QR code check-in, capacity tracking, and attendee analytics. This isn’t a feature Proxyclick focuses on.

Digital wallet passes. Repeat visitors can store their pass in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for contactless check-in. It’s a modern convenience that Proxyclick hasn’t implemented.

US regulatory compliance. KyberAccess’s compliance center includes 50-state regulatory guides covering FERPA, HIPAA, Alyssa’s Law, and state-specific visitor management requirements. Proxyclick’s compliance strength is GDPR — valuable for European operations, but less relevant for US-based organizations navigating state-by-state regulations.

Faster deployment. Sign up, configure your location, print a QR code, start checking in visitors. KyberAccess can be deployed in hours, not weeks. Enterprise VMS platforms like Proxyclick/Eptura typically require procurement cycles, implementation projects, and weeks of configuration.

Pricing Reality

Proxyclick (Eptura Visitor) Pricing

Eptura does not publish visitor management pricing. Based on market data and enterprise procurement reports:

Enterprise contracts: Typically $8,000–$20,000+/year per location
Platform bundling: Often sold as part of the broader Eptura workplace management suite
Implementation fees: Common for enterprise deployments
Sales cycle: Custom quotes, demos, procurement process
Contract terms: Annual or multi-year commitments

For a corporate campus with 5 locations, expect $40,000–$100,000+/year for the visitor management component alone.

KyberAccess Pricing

Free Plan: $0/forever — 1 location, full features, unlimited visitors
Pro Plan: $4,200/year per location — multi-location, advanced analytics, priority support
Enterprise: Contact sales — custom deployments, SLA, dedicated support

For 5 locations on KyberAccess Pro: $21,000/year. That’s potentially one-quarter of the Eptura Visitor cost.

The Acquisition Tax

There’s a hidden cost with acquired products: uncertainty. When you sign a multi-year contract with Eptura Visitor, you’re betting that Eptura will continue investing in the visitor management product at the same level. Acquisitions frequently lead to feature consolidation, team restructuring, and shifting priorities. KyberAccess’s independence removes this risk entirely.

Who Should Choose What

Choose Proxyclick (Eptura Visitor) If:

You’re already an Eptura customer. If your organization uses Eptura for space management and desk booking, adding Visitor creates a unified platform. The integration advantages are real.
Salesforce integration is critical. Proxyclick’s native Salesforce connector is mature and well-tested. If your visitor workflow is deeply tied to Salesforce, this matters.
You’re a European enterprise with GDPR at the top of your priorities. Proxyclick’s GDPR compliance tools are among the best in the industry.
You’re a large enterprise with existing procurement relationships. If your IT procurement team has an established relationship with Eptura, adding a product to an existing contract can be faster than evaluating a new vendor.

Choose KyberAccess If:

You need visitor screening. Background checks and sex offender registry screening are non-negotiable for many organizations. KyberAccess has it. Eptura Visitor doesn’t.
You’re not exclusively a corporate office. Schools, healthcare, government, worship, events — KyberAccess covers them all. Proxyclick was designed for corporate lobbies.
Budget is a factor. Whether it’s $0 or $4,200/year, KyberAccess is dramatically less expensive than enterprise VMS pricing. And you know the price before you talk to anyone.
You want to avoid acquisition risk. Independent companies ship features faster and don’t face product rationalization decisions. KyberAccess’s roadmap is driven by its customers, not a parent company’s portfolio strategy.
You manage events. If your visitor management needs extend to events, conferences, or open houses, KyberAccess handles this natively.
Fast deployment matters. If you need visitor management running this week, not this quarter, KyberAccess’s self-service setup gets you live in hours.

The Acquisition Factor

This deserves its own section because it’s the elephant in the room.

When Eptura acquired Proxyclick, they gained a strong visitor management product. But acquisitions in the SaaS world follow a predictable pattern:

Year 1: “Nothing changes. Same team, same product, same roadmap.”
Year 2: “We’re integrating the platforms for a better unified experience.” (Translation: shared engineering resources.)
Year 3: “We’ve consolidated our product offerings.” (Translation: some features have been deprecated or deprioritized.)

This isn’t cynicism — it’s the pattern observed across hundreds of SaaS acquisitions. The original Proxyclick team members may move on. The product roadmap may shift to serve Eptura’s broader workplace management strategy rather than visitor management specifically. Features that don’t align with the parent company’s vision may be sunset.

KyberAccess is immune to this dynamic. There’s no parent company, no portfolio rationalization, no competing business units. The product roadmap is driven by one thing: making visitor management better.

This matters when you’re signing a multi-year contract. You’re not just buying today’s product — you’re betting on the product’s future. With an independent company, that future is determined by customer needs. With an acquired product, it’s determined by corporate strategy.

Bottom Line

Proxyclick was a genuinely excellent enterprise visitor management system. Whether Eptura Visitor maintains that excellence while being absorbed into a larger workplace management platform is an open question.

If you’re already in the Eptura ecosystem and your needs are straightforward corporate visitor check-in, Eptura Visitor is a reasonable choice. The integrations work, and one vendor simplifies procurement.

But for organizations that need visitor screening, multi-industry support, event management, or simply transparent and accessible pricing, KyberAccess is the stronger choice. It’s purpose-built, independently operated, and available to try at zero cost.

Don’t bet your visitor management on someone else’s acquisition strategy.
