director of capital project

Great costumer service, they strive to resolve issues with their equipment every time spending time with every IT technicians to understand and solve issues.

VP Technology

I will need to integrate this with Appfolio in order to make the adding and removal of tenants automated as people move in and out.

Resident Service Coordinator

Easy to add residents and maintain resident profile, options to add fobs and having the ability to view multiple properties in one space is a plus!

Manager

The thing I liked most about Swiftlane was their fast response when I reported an issue, even when they don't respond and I leave a message.

Chief of Operations

Swiftlane feels more like a tech product than a traditional access system—mobile-first, clean interface, and intuitive for both admins and users.

Not Available

Having a camera by the door is great for safety but needing the bio metrics of my face and, odds are, selling that information to lord knows which app/other product -- is generally distressing.

This is a new device that we are evaluating at one of our properties. If all goes well, we will look to add this at other locations in the furure.

Principal

One of my feature requests was video review of each entry and this feature was recently added, albeit with a cost.

resident

I appreciate being able to get in the door without having to punch in a code it leaves my hands free especially when I'm carrying groceries or other items to get inside

Owner

I can use face recognition, a PIN, or the unlock door feature on the app to open the door.

Creative Director

I like that you can unlock your door from your phone, see who you are letting in, and my partner can be alerted as well.

From the front door to the package room and even the Yale lock on our apartment door, everything is integrated and interactive.

When the system is not working as it should it can get a little frustrating especially because I'm used to using my facial scan and I don't remember the password

Consultant

What I like best about Swiftlane is that I don’t need keys to open the doors to the building and have several options to open the doors and don’t have to be at home waiting on deliveries.

Attorney

There are still some small glitches and the updated software for the app or the iPhone tools on the website need to be updates as well.

Director Comercial

The use of single use PINs to visitors allows unique entry and the photo audit log eases visitors’ conscience by recording their activities.

Tech Support

Our campus is set up like a college, with each building housing different grade levels, and Swiftlane makes it easy to manage door access across them.

I appreciate how many options I have for getting in - tapping open on my phone, face scan, code direct.  

There have been some instances where we've had a frozen Swiftlane screen and no one could get in the building until it was fixed.

I can also create Visitor Pins for specific people coming and going which also helps me see when they are here.

I also enjoy the pin feature to allow trusted family and friends to allow them access as well.

Hairstylist

I love that my clients and I feel safe, knowing that the front door remains locked without anyone having to be inconvenienced by standing out in the cold or heat for extended periods of time.

Assoc. HR Manager

I like that we can create passcodes for vendors, visitors, etc.

Secretary

I also love being able to give pin codes to my children so they can enter without a key.

unrelated question

Easy to manage building access, create additional keys, and enter the building using facial recognition.

There were some issues in the beginning that I brought to my landlords attention who relayed it back to our Swiftlane rep who was quick to address and fix.

It's easy to let clients in with my cell phone and ensure that it's who I'm expecting with the video option!.

Resident

It is an efficient system for accessing the building for both residents and guests.

Office Manager

I really enjoy Swiftlane and what I like most is that it makes providing remote access to the office easier than ever.

IT Manager

Having an opportunity to identify guests before they enter and using pin codes for deliveries increases the level of protection and makes delivery secure.

With just a button, I can assist anyone who is locked out of our suite doors.

Social WOrker

The convenience of opening the door from my phone—and knowing who is knocking—right from the exterior door.

Arriving at the door with my hands full and having facial recognition unlock the door is a major plus.

The ability to unlock a car using the Swiftlane app is very useful, especially in cases when I am not at home and need to enter my vehicle.

Tracking who has access and who is coming and going is a breeze.

Minor concerns about data stored for facial recognition.

Occasionally I get an entry request from a delivery person that is for another resident.

I’d prefer the option to open it without answering the call, since sometimes I’m at work.

I like that it is integrated with use of a mobile app and Siri.

Property Manager

I like the interface and new video security feature.

Customer support does respond quickly, but it can take five to ten minutes to get the issue solved.

The panel is a little far from the door, but there is enough time to get through before it times out.

Dispatcher

It’s accessible considering you can access entrance to your building through your phone.

Tech Team Lead

We got the door entry system a few months ago and it has been working well as both a user and an admin.

Retired

The system requires an ISP connection that is available 24/7.

Charges monthly or yearly (a small amount) for some advanced features.

It is easy to set up specific codes for visitors and track when someone has used them.

I just live at the building

I love being able to buzz someone in via the app when I’m not home.

The facial recognition feature wasn't turned on initially.

They go down and need to be reset more often than ButterflyMx's.

MIS / IT

very fast & effective notification with vendor details & image provided by software on vendor slip.

SEO Executive

Deliverymen and technicians doing repairs in the office (for over a week) would have the means to create a special ‘Contractor ID’ that they could show to the building security.

We also expect a level of health consciousness, given that our office is designed as an open floor plan, with a lot of interaction between the employees for the creative work and a high risk of contact and transmission.

Facilities supervisor 

There are many features that I was impressed with like walk in,pre appointment emergency alert and report.

Reception

Reauthenticate opisthion and Some time OTP comes late till that time visitor have to wait out side

Every log-in and log-out of the system requires a special QR code and/or biometric ID, thus reducing the number of unauthorized visits.

Facilities 

I don't find any fault in the application but when internet is slow application not work properly.

We need more customisation in the application.

recption 

Visitor entry , notification alert  and customer support

Sometimes it lags and requires time to load.

Receptionist 

Less number of pass format they should add more.

Manager-Security

Sr. IT Engineer

Management console or GUI needs to be improved

Makes visitor entry and record-keeping simple.

Head Facility and Administration

Also secure to identify the authentication of visitor

application interface like colour and desing are good

Reception head

Every thing is good but some time OTP come late because of network.

Also many corporate make inquiry about the product when they visit our office.

Need to improve on Graphical user interface.

Through a health screening questionnaire, employees and other visitors would have to answer questions on symptoms before they entered to prevent careless transmission.

Still required information on pass with location.

No reports on no. of users exists in system.

Emergency SMS system, alert and notification

Very Easy To Use and many application fetcher available in application

Assistant Manager HR

Using in routine work and it is very helpful.
