Pros and cons

Basic functionality of letting new users check in, notification to host of visitor and issue of a badge. The ability for previous visitors to log in using facial recognition is pretty great.
Fast, comprehensive, friendly customer service. It is refreshing to colloborate with external partners where it feels positive.
Easy to setup, easy to use. The photo recognition is the best idea, it make signing very quick and easy.
Emergency evacuation – this is quite ambiguous. If we have access to WiFi & power we can print out active passes however this may not always be possible in an emergency.
We recently had problems with the label machine and it will at time not communicate with the iPad and printing will delay or not work.
Photo quality is terrible and everyone complains about it when they get their photo taken.

Visitor Log for Mine Site

Reviewed 5 years ago

Experience was great, I set up the site easily, it's very intuitive. We are replacing a pen and paper system to log visitors and this system gives us more flexibility and value. The visitor log with it's notification and messaging capability make this a valuable tool.

Pros

This is a great tool for recording visitor and contractors reporting to our site, we can ensure that each person is recorded and has access to the site safety training document and to the safety data sheets for chemicals. The reports make it easy to retrieve data regarding past visits and hours onsite.

Cons

It takes a bit longer for visitors who are technologically challenged to sign in.

First Class Guest Management Software

Reviewed 7 years ago

We have been using Sine for around 18months now and have never looked back. Guests regularly comment on the platform and it's ease of use versus others they have experienced. The back end admin functionality is excellent and very user friendly.

Pros

The backgrounds are customizable to suit company branding (including multiple branding options on rotation if required). The customer service staff have been so friendly and efficient on the very odd occasion that I have dealt with them. Group messages can be sent to guests on site which is perfect for emergency messaging. The look of the app is very professional and our guests regularly compliment us on how it looks and ease of use.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike about the software. I would be great however on the home screen to have an upfront selection for couriers/delivery people as I find they are often perturbed by having to input their details and end up either walking away without delivering the goods or they tailgate someone into the office.

Vendor response

Thank you for the excellent review Karen and we appreciate your loyalty to Sine. Sounds like you're using the full range of our features to your advantage, and please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Success team if you have any feature requests or further feedback. We are discussing internally the courier/delivery button, and we'll let you know if this feature is released. You can always capture deliveries by implementing a courier/delivery 'visitor' type. Let us know if we can assist.

POOR SUPPORT

Product is good but the support is not. Initially very happy with product but its performance has not been consistent. Also 1)Trying to set up remote visitor sign in, won't print sticker on arrival. Visitors have to sign out and back in to get it to print. 2)Rep has not visited site since installation, sounds annoyed when contacted for support. 3)We have had to do our own "Work Arounds" to fix problems took 3 months for replacement router to arrive after multiple emails and phone calls.

Hi Lee Great feedback and thank you. As discussed the Wi-Fi connectivity at your location has been an issue at your specific location and not an issue concerning our software as you would agree. We have tried to deploy a suitable wifi router which as you know was returned for mis-delivery.The router was not immediately re-dispatched which was an error on our part. As for the printing, mobile pass printing is simply enabled by following our support instructions at https://help.sine.co or by reaching us on live chat anytime. Thank you for confirming via email you are pleased with the performance of Sine Pro and that all is now going well. Please reach out to us anytime and we'll respond to any outstanding concerns or enquiries swiftly. Best Team Sine

Affordable Choice with Sufficient Features

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

The price per month is low relative to competitors, but it offers the basic features (visitor check-in, host notifications) that we are looking for.

Cons

The customization options are limited; it would have been nice to use a Zebra label printer we already had (although we were trying to run this through an Ubuntu laptop to use AirPrint). We have no one in the lobby, so it would be helpful to have some easy way to notify visitors if their host is in a meeting or busy (we could have people delegate every time they go into a meeting, but that is onerous).

Overall, good experience. Not enough features for the price - we will be moving to something that will cost us only a fraction but with far more features and integrations.

Pros

Nice and clean interface Useful features

Cons

The UX is not straight forward Cannot delete users even when it was a test user or an error has been made The billing system for Sine is outdated - no automatic billing; constantly defaults to AUS currency and address. Lack of integrations

Sine is Great!

Sine is a stand in for a function that would otherwise be accomplished with personnel or other, more expensive, more complicated software. It seems like the perfect solution to fit our needs.

Easy to use and very accessible. We had very little trouble setting up this fully featured reception software and we get value out of it every day.

A simple to use alternative to your old visitor book

Reviewed 5 years ago

Sine is allowing our organisation to replace it's traditional visitor sign in book with a system that not only records who has come and gone and when, but who they're here to see, photo ID and contact details. On top of that, it allows for us to quickly report the history of visitors to see trends between different sites. Also great to see an Australian based product competing with the many international offerings.

Pros

It's simple layout on the ipad and different options for repeat visitors makes Sine a great choice for your visitor check in system. It's setup process was simple and could be customized to suit our organisations requirements with various types of visitors at different locations. The ability for staff to be notified through the Sine app was also a welcome feature.

Cons

Not being able to setup a landline phone notification was something that would appeal to some users without work mobile phones and who may not check their email regularly.

Professional looking for a reasonable price

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

The ability to easily sign in and keep track of visitors that come in to the company. It works well, the UI looks professional. The fast track and ability to easily create invitations.

Cons

Only works with IPAD and not Android. The inability to scan business cards and do an OCR scan of it to extract the necessary information. The lack of ability to set certain people "away" or on "vacation" so that when guests visit they will not be able to select them.

Coworking studio visitor management - problem solved!

Reviewed 7 years ago

The entrance to our coworking studio is downstairs, so I setup Sine to serve as a virtual receptionist. Now we don't have a members 'Mexican stand-off' over who's going to answer the door every time the doorbell rings. Instead, members get a push notification from the Sine app advising if a visitor has arrived for them. As the Studio Manager, getting a push notification when a visitor arrives means I can immediately call them to make arrangements if I'm often offsite. Having Sine has improved the community, improved communication and improved how I managed my customers, visitors and contractors. Sine is now on the list of benefits of working from That Space Coworking.

Pros

Push Notifications. Remote Site / Virtual Receptionist. A record of visitors for auditing / analytics. Ability to .csv upload a list of members "hosts".

Cons

No cons were added to this review

Hi Josh, Thanks for the great review of Sine and glad it's simplified the hassle of who's turn it is to get the door at the coworking space.

Satisfied customer

Reviewed 2 years ago

Very happy and would definitely roll out this product at other sites.

Pros

Having an electronic record and moving away from contractors writing their details in by hand, coupled with having to go and physically collect books has been a huge improvement. Additionally I can manage contractors in real-time without having to be on site. I can at a tap of the keyboard bring up a history of contractor sign-in/out activity. As a manager who is not always on-site on every given day, this has changed the way we do business with our contractors and sites. Very happy overall.

Cons

We have several smaller sites within a single precinct but separately defined and individually responsible for their own compliancy. This precinct has a single sign-in area for contractors across all three buildings. SINE doesn't currently allow a single terminal to handle multiple buildings within a single precinct. It was deemed not cost effective to purchase three separate terminals for the one sign-in desk to cover the three buildings within the precinct. That was a disappointing discovery and ultimately we chose to not implement SINE there.

Stockland Review of Sine.

Reviewed 7 years ago

Sine has been a great success at reception. Being a large company the staff love getting the email that their guests have arrived. It is also great as the receptionists to keep track of who has arrived, where they are from and who they are seeing. Sine is easy to use and very efficient. We have had very little issues using sine.

Pros

I like how it can send an email to the staff the visitors are seeing. I also like how it quickly prints off the visitor label.

Cons

When signing in guests manually we can not print off a visitor label.

Vendor response

Thank you for a great review Meg, and it's been great working with all the team at Stockland Australia. The good news is you can print a visitor badge when using the web check-in. Please view the help guide at https://help.sine.co/knowledge-base/mobile-and-web-printing/ on how to 'Activate your iPad as a print server'. Excellent to hear you and staff are happy with the functionality of Sine, and all feedback, be it positive or suggestive is passed onto the Product Development Team.

Great system which could be even better if further customisation of sign in screens is granted

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

1. Email notifications to host 2. Admin site allowing me to review checked in visitors and also check out visitors.

Cons

1. Inability to remove email field from sign in screen and email wording from the field on the returning visitors sign in screen. This causes visitors confusion whether to enter an email or mobile number when returning. Also having the email option on the first time visitor screen results in a longer sign in process. We have the email as optional for visitors but would prefer the option to remove the field entirely. 2. The fact that I cannot amend a contact number on the back end of the system for a previously signed in visitor. Some visitors have entered an incorrect number on their first visit causing them to have to click first time visitor and do the entire process again.

Easy management of visitors to our site.

Pros

Like the dashboard how simple it is for users to use, has heaps of extra features, mobile app checkins. Easy for all types of users to use

no mobile admin interface, in an emergency we need to have a big bulky device or laptop to login to the dashboard to identify contractors on site. ID card printers can be problematic when on wifi and sometimes not print.

It requires you to enter in too much info. Questioning the client who their here to see or who their closer is, is not necessary . They will pick the person they have been corresponding with which would be me. They are not here to see me so the info they enter is inaccurate and useless and a waste of time. Taking a picture to me is not important. Most people dont like their pics taken. They complain how awful they look. lol.. And an email address is not important either. I think as long as it is time stamped and dated with a name would be sufficient. Just my thought :)

unable to use label printer so system has only limited use and still have to run a manual sign in

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

sign in system works well in terms of being able to register and go through health and safety briefing requirements

Cons

My understanding is that the label printer has never worked since the system was purchased and installed. I have taken over as operations manager, but would have expected that if a new system was purchased that that their would have been some form of follow up to ensure the system had been installed correctly and was fully operational. Unfortunately, I am unable to verify this but in reality it would be easier to go back to a manual system rather than have a sign in system that is only partly operational

Vendor response

Hi Andrew. Thanks for the feedback. Please refer to email from Sine Customer Support on 4 May with relevant guides to configure the printer onto your corporate network; as well as our follow up on 8 May 2017 asking if the printer was now operational and if we could help further.

Useful if admins stay on top of resonses

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall our organization was able to keep track of Covid reporting over the past year and flag potential issues. Some of that was 'in theory', but it covers the bases from a legal perspective.

Pros

I found Sine fairly easy to use. Easy to navigate the fields and intuitive for new users. Sine responses could be recorded quickly and accessed through a variety of interfaces (email, website).

Cons

This is more at the user level, but our admins could not keep up with the responses and eventually it made the tool useless. If you're looking for a CYA tool, then I guess it does meet those needs.
