# What makes Kisi different from traditional access control systems?

We've used legacy access control systems before, but they often require onsite administration and expensive upgrades. As we evaluate cloud-based options, we're trying to understand what makes Kisi different in day-to-day use.

Traditional access control systems often rely on on-premise servers, legacy software, manual administration, and complex maintenance requirements.
Kisi takes a cloud-first approach that allows teams to manage access remotely, automate user management, monitor activity in real time, and control multiple locations from a single platform.
In addition to access control, Kisi brings together visitor management, video surveillance, bookings, analytics, integrations, mobile credentials, and other physical security workflows into one system, helping organizations reduce complexity and improve operational visibility.
