Enterprise organizations are ditching legacy, on-premise ID badging systems and moving their credentialing workflows to the cloud—and for good reason. Cloud-based identity management reduces downtime, eliminates local server maintenance, supports distributed teams, and gives security and IT leaders tighter control across every facility.
At ADVANTIDGE, we’ve spent more than 20 years helping clients modernize their ID ecosystems. Today, three platforms consistently rise to the top depending on volume, infrastructure, and credentialing requirements. Below is a clear comparison of the most adopted cloud solutions our clients use, along with when each one makes the most sense.
Best for:
Organizations with many smaller or remote sites, each printing lower volumes—regardless of card type, printer brand, or existing infrastructure.
Why enterprises choose it:
This mobile-friendly solution is flexible, simple to deploy, and printer-agnostic. For companies that don’t need the full power of FARGO Connect but still want centralized oversight, this is the affordable, scalable middle ground. It supports both local and remote issuance without forcing upgrades to specific hardware.
Key Advantages:
Works with any ID card printer: Perfect for enterprises with mixed fleets or aging equipment they’re not ready to replace.
Fast deployment: No dedicated servers, complex setups, or proprietary infrastructure required.
Ideal for distributed teams: Field offices, satellite clinics, retail locations, and small operational sites can issue secure IDs without heavy IT support.
Simple mobile workflows: Staff can capture photos and initiate issuance from virtually anywhere.
Typical use cases: National retail chains, dispersed non-profits, logistics companies, and multi-location businesses with low badge volume at each site.
