Paxton Access Control Company Profile

Author: Brian Rhodes, Published on Dec 07, 2015

This note profiles access company Paxton, our 3rd installment in an ongoing series, following our profiles of Tyco Kantech and DSX.

Inside we examine Paxton's overall strengths, ideal customer market, pricing, and biggest gaps.

Profile

Paxton is an independent access company based in the UK. The platform is typically used by small-medium clients looking for a network/edge controller based platform. Paxton is primarily offered by a dealer resell/install channel, although direct web resellers are common and the channel is not strictly enforced.

Comparison Graph

The table below contrasts Paxton versus relative competition based on common differentiation factors like system size, platform 'openness', ease of video integration, and how the product is sold or available:
