At a glance
TimeClock 365 vs Brivo: the short answer
Choose Brivo if you want an established cloud security platform with Apple and Google Wallet credentials and you already have a separate attendance system. Choose TimeClock 365 if you want door access and time and attendance in one account - door entries become timesheets with overtime and payroll export - with fingerprint and face readers, for $1.90 per user per month ($4.90 with attendance).
Brivo is a cloud-based access control platform. Brivo Access manages cards, fobs and mobile credentials - an employee badge in Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch, and Brivo Wallet Pass in Google Wallet on Android - and integrates with identity providers such as Okta and Azure.
TimeClock 365 is cloud door access control with attendance built in. Doors open with a fingerprint, face, card, PIN or a phone key in Apple or Google Wallet - and because access and attendance share one account, the first door entry of the day can start the workday and the last exit can end it, ready for payroll.
