Envoy makes it easy to keep track of all visitors coming into the facility for any reason (employee, vendor, visitor, member, etc.) by using one of the three options of manually signing in via iPad provided by Envoy, scanning a QR code, or manually signing in via website.

Patient care coordinator

Envoy is great with visitor management when we don't have a receptionist at the front desk and even when we do.

Analyst

It is really great because it allows you to tell the company in real time how many faces they should be looking to expect while also taking out the complication of phone calls and micro management

Controller

I'm not sure if this always applies, but the way that we have it set up requires internet connection in order to complete and submit visitor forms.

Sr. HR Specialist

It gave visibility to admin to get an accurate count of how many visitors are on site.

Office Manager

Quick and accurate tracking for deliveries being delivered and picked up.

Operations Manager

Like the clean design and personalisation options.

Time will tell if this is a good addition to our practice.

Resource Planning Analyst

With the self-serve option, every employee has the ability to book their seats and car park space on live remotely.

Sr. HR Manager

Ease of use for visitors and the notification to the host really benefited our office as we don't have a FT receptionist.

Human Resources Business Partner

Envoy is the visitor booking system we use.

Design Engineer

The tool solves our needs for visitor managment

It does have a visitor management system, which I've used once, but haven't used only because I haven't needed to.

Easy and user-friendly app for visitors and mail management.

Eng Mgr

Easy to log into and saves your information for fast future check ins.  

Operations

Preregistration tracking is key to managing some of our guest access policies.

It is tricky and requires more manipulation to change a seat once you've booked it.

Not the cheapest but the functionality for the cost far exceeds competitors'.

I don't love the new service model without an assigned contact.

Research Program Senior Associate

Very easy to track who is going into the office, manage visitors (back when we used to have them), and make sure we are not over-crowding the office during a dangerous time.

FP&A Analyst

It was easy and I could access it on my mobile

Sr People Partner

The pricing model is ridiculous and is geared solely to upsell customers to top tier for any add-on

My company has a number of different offices, and envoy really should remember which office it is that I keep logging into.

Brand Packaging Sales & Marketing

I especially like the design options and slide show background.

Paying to undisable core functions of the software is total BS.

Groundkeeper

Nice job feature app to use to check-in an check-out in worksite.

Head of Data

I am assuming the logo and full company name would come from my company domain the Envoy has on file. But I know it's my personal account, as there are no resources available, like no rooms etc.

IT Manager

Easy to use and setup from scratch, great platform to customize to the way you need it to look.

Sr. Maintenance

We have this in a power point format that they review when there on site, I would like to send like I stated prior an all inclusive invite .

Facilities/Office Manager, RTP

The smartphone app is fine once you get used to it, but scheduling, self certifying and signing in the first few times is a bit clunky.

IT Tech

It also allows us to have guests sign any waivers or forms.

Very bad pricing model built only to upsell.

Senior Workplace Specialist

Our employees use the Envoy mobile app to complete their health survey in order to work in our offices through the Envoy Protect product, which is built into Visitors.

Director of IT Infrastructure

In addition to the portal record of all visitors, along with their picture, the Teams notifications give our employees a record of their visitors to refer back to when needed.  

Director IM/IT

With the capability of contactless sign-in we have a full 360 degree view of workers, visitors, delivery and contact tracing across the board.  

As a Sr. Maintenance/Facilities associate i have to be sure contractors/vendors view our safety documentation for Danfoss before entering our facility.

It even has Slack integration to let us know when a guest has arrived.

Manager of Production Operations

It saves our shipper/receivers time from contacting and hand-delivering packages to recipients and it allows for traceability which is critical.

Operations & Events Manager

The Operations department suggested trying out Envoy as a way to log visitors and also announce them in case there was nobody at the front desk.   Once people realized that they would get notification of a visitor even if our front desk person was not there (which is frequent as she is very busy with many projects), they were very receptive to the system.  

Receptionist and Facilities Coordinator

As I said in the above section, I wish that it could sync up with my touchless temperature taking screen.

Software Engineer

Sometimes printing glitches can create hassle for swift entry

Experience Center Coordinator

I really think Envoy Visitors is an excellent product and as I mentioned before many visitors want to purchase our system because they find it's a very easy product to use and gets them the results they need. With Covid Envoy has come up with useful tools for us to you to keep the system touchless which is very helpful as well as the ability to pre-register visitors and add in signable documents.

Admin Office Clerk

I like that I can add or remove legal documents, which also cuts down on paperwork and having to constantly ask visitors to sign forms.  

Supervisor Office Services

Side bar,  when we view Protect and want to verify "employees expected" it jumps to Visitors.

Great biometric authentication for entry into offices

Operations Adm

Visitors that are elderly or not tech savvy have a harder time not  using  paper to check in , but Envoy visitors makes it  simple to walk them through and the larger font feature is also an asset.

The program is easy to learn/use and the best part is "the Bot" and if the "bot" doesn't answer the question, we are immediately directed to a "live" person.

Now Employees as well as visitors and vendors are recorded in Envoy.

Office and Administration Manager

Favourite features are visitors sign in and employee registration for screening and contact tracing during COVID19.

Manager

The only con I can think of is the customer service, it was difficult to get hold of our rep after several emails and calls to setup our service from a free trial, we almost decided against using Envoy but I so glad we didn't give up.

Some reviewers find Envoy’s price higher than alternatives, but say the software’s integrations, user-friendly design, and inclusion of major feature updates at no extra cost help justify the expense. Some users appreciate that premium plans bundle features like Protect and Rooms without additional charges, and note the system offers robust functionality compared to similarly priced solutions. However, many reviewers feel the annual and monthly costs are excessive, especially for small businesses or organizations with multiple locations, and criticize the pricing model for pushing upgrades and add-ons. Some users report difficulty justifying the cost despite the product’s benefits.

The secure alternative to visitor books and timesheets.

Front Desk Clerk

I like that the Sign in App provides great security features, the sign in process makes tracking guests and employees easy, and we can print out a guest pass to they can be spotted throughout the facility.

Business Development Executive

Customization is very limited and issues msy come up with connecting the app with internal devices such as printers.

It was a bit rough starting out with connectivity and the printer was leaving streaks on the badges but we got all the issues resolved.

Principal UX Researcher

I like being able to see which desk I have booked that day when I arrive into the office.

Project manager

To get the best out of it, a printer for badges is required.

The app installs on an iPad and installs cleanly and without fuss.

IT Director

We've had issues with printers constantly getting disconnected from the software and support have not been very helpful.

Using it daily and it makes my life easier

Super secure and easy sign in process that is good value for money.

Analytics director

Makes it easy to save a desk at my hybrid work location.

Teaching Consultant

Sometimes the bluetooth connection to the printer fails and it has to be removed/added to kick it back into gear.

IT Technician

The ease of use for visitors and the Admin console that comes with

The application also helps to make sure that your users are seeing an experience that falls in line with your corporate image.

IT Engineer

You can get the information you need but it is not easy

Overall, our experience has been very good and the reporting really helps us to see when our staff are in and out as well as visitors

This can slow down visitor arrivals who need badges printing.

It also does not update itself which can lead to it being out of date.

Overall its been amazing and Visitors have said how easy it is to use.

Sometimes the application can randomly crash.

Simplifies entry/exit massively. Plus, looks slick.

Head of Systems

We opted to purchase a complete bundle which included the iPad, printer etc and it was easy to fit together and configure.

Customer support has been great and we have not had to wait for a response using the chat feature on the portal.

We regularly have positive feedback from visitors about Sign In App and we have been happy to recommend the system to them.

Administrator

QR codes are the best part of this system as it provide contactless options for the user to mark in their attendance, but i believe it can be enhanced more with use of only 1 QR code for 1 member using multiple groups.

Pretty smooth overall with little hiccups.

IT and Communications Officer

We have several sites we manage within the disability sector and this has made our compliance and personnel and visitor tracking super easy.

School Business Manager

Easy to use, easy to install, set up with aid of technician within a few minutes and was up and running.  

Data Protection Offcier

Sign In App had a clear understanding and clarity around their obligations as Data Processor and the detail I needed was easily found from their website and Terms.

Frehrt

There should be an integration with some kind of payment terminals so a user logging in can pay directly through the terminal having linked with their sign-in.

President

The primary purpose of the Sign In App was for volunteer health screening and, to a lesser extent tracking volunteer hours.

Technical Director

Without Sign In App our company would not be able to comply with UK Gov guidance or our own policies that ensure safe working during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Director

team are always on hand for support and respond quickly to any potential issues with clear answers.

Remote management and multi functional user interface

Member Account Manager

I just want to say how wonderful every person on the team is. Either on live chat, or when I've called to speak to someone, everyone knows the answer to every question, is really patient and explains things thoroughly and even the screenshots sent over live chat really help!

Assistant Director of Operations

The system has a limit on how many different groups can be created and this has been tricky to manage at times, more would be better.  

It is  a very good system for beginning with but i must say there is a lot of potential to alter the system for individual customers as it provide much better options for the users.

I would also like to see automatic signing in/out using a geofence to be introduced, although I understand this is coming in a future update.

really great from sales through to aftercare.

The only fault, I can think of, and it's not really a fault, is that it only integrates with the brother ticket printers.

Lodge Manager

I can get data within seconds to show my bosses reports.
