Meraki And Openpath Team Up Vs Verkada
The lock-in providers are now facing off in access control. Verkada entered access control last year and now Meraki has announced teaming up with Openpath to offer a rival locked-in video/access offering.
How do they match up? Inside this note, based on our testing of Verkada's access control and testing of Openpath's access control, plus a discussion with Meraki and Openpath about their new announcement, we examine their competitive positioning.
