Why Teams Switch

Enterprise Teams Are Making the Move

Enterprises Switch Because...

  • Traction Guest has no background screening — critical for regulated industries
  • Opaque pricing makes budget planning difficult
  • Weeks-long deployment vs. 15-minute KyberAccess setup
  • No free tier to evaluate before committing to annual contracts
  • Professional services fees add thousands to total cost

SMBs & Schools Choose KyberAccess Because...

  • Traction Guest is enterprise-only — no offering for smaller organizations
  • Free tier lets schools and SMBs start without budget approval
  • FERPA and HIPAA compliance tools for education and healthcare
  • Self-service setup doesn't require IT department involvement
  • KyberAccess scales from 1 location to 100+ on the same platform

"We evaluated Traction Guest for six weeks — just getting through their sales process. With KyberAccess, we signed up, configured our workflows, and were live across three offices in an afternoon. Plus we got screening, which Traction Guest couldn't offer."
