Brivo is a pioneer of cloud-based access control and is highly regarded for enterprise and multi-site security management due to its simplicity and powerful remote management features. For organizations with large buildings or many branch locations, Brivo provides the ability to administer all door locks, employee badges, and visitor access through a single cloud platform. This means an IT or security director can oversee credentials and access schedules for dozens of facilities from anywhere, issuing or revoking a badge with a few clicks, or locking down all sites instantly in an emergency, all via the web or mobile app. Brivo’s system is designed for multi-site scalability; it can support an enterprise with hundreds of doors across different cities, yet still present unified audit logs and dashboards for compliance and monitoring. By offloading the software to the cloud, Brivo eliminates the need for on-premise servers at each location and reduces maintenance, software updates, and backups happen automatically. This approach not only cuts down IT overhead, but also increases reliability (the cloud uptime and redundancy often exceed what a small local server could achieve). For the end user, like a facilities manager, the benefit is end-user simplicity: they can use one intuitive interface to manage access rights enterprise-wide instead of logging into separate systems per building.
Brivo also stands out for its integration capabilities and all-in-one approach to security data. It provides an open API, and many enterprises take advantage of this to integrate Brivo with other systems such as video surveillance, identity management, or HR databases. For instance, Brivo can be paired with Eagle Eye Networks’ cloud VMS so that every door event can automatically pull up video of that entry, or connected to an Active Directory/Workday so that when a new employee is onboarded, their access badge is provisioned automatically. The platform isn’t limited to door control either – Brivo’s Security Suite adds video surveillance and visitor management modules, providing a more unified security solution for those who want it. With 15+ million users and thousands of enterprises on Brivo’s system globally, the solution has a proven track record at scale. Enterprises appreciate that Brivo uses robust, cyber-hardened technology (data is encrypted end-to-end, and the devices communicate securely with the cloud) and that it supports modern security practices like mobile credentials (allowing employees to use smartphones instead of keycards). In summary, serious enterprises choose Brivo for its ability to simplify multi-site access control, its scalability, and its ecosystem flexibility. It turns what could be a complex tangle of disparate access systems into a centrally managed, cloud-efficient operation that enhances both security and convenience.
