acre One vs SiteOwl

acre One is the premier mobile credentialing and cardholder engagement app. With acre One, cardholder credentials are managed directly within acre Security, including ID assignment and credential revocation. Additional functionality includes 2 factor authentication for access authorization at doors, password-less login capabilities to acre's cloud-based access control and visitor management applications, and the ability to momentarily unlock assigned doors. Plus, acre One allows employees to audit their own door access history and receive important push notifications directly to their phone from security administrators.

Security doesn’t have to be hit or miss. With SiteOwl, managing security is easier. Our security-system management platform gives you the clarity to see what’s going on, stay proactive, and cut down surprises. Organizations depend on electronic security systems to manage risk—but running those systems at scale gets hard. Teams need clear performance visibility, actionable data, and a sustainable way to grow without drowning in spreadsheets, floor-plan mock‑ups, and one-off workflows. Maintenance, warranties, technician handoffs, and stakeholder requests only multiply as device counts grow. SiteOwl brings design, coordination, and field work together in one mobile experience—so project teams and technicians stay aligned from planning through installation. Plan and collaborate Designers and project managers can use client floorplans to populate projects—whether you’re laying out new devices, assessing existing sites, or managing the installation process end to end. Work in the field Technicians get direct access to their SiteOwl Projects, Live Sites, and the devices tied to them. View key device details—including IP address, MAC address, installation notes, due dates, and more—and update installation status as work progresses. Stay in sync Changes made in the app sync with SiteOwl in real time, so project managers and system owners always have full visibility into what’s happening in the field—as well as in the SiteOwl web application. Whether you’re planning on a blueprint or updating devices onsite, SiteOwl helps your team operate as one—from design through deployment.
