Reviews of iLobby
iLobby for our office
Pros:
Easy to set up and very user friendly straight out of the box couple that with the quick response from the iLobby team and getting this set up, in use, and modified for our specific use was easily accomplished.
Cons:
There are a few hard-coded features that we did not need and a few we wanted to change that was not able to be changed. No show stopping problems but just a few items that would have been nice to have.
Great Product/Service
Comments: Although I don't get to use it much, I do maintain the hardware and software for the devices utilizing the iLobby service, and I can say that it has been pleasantly simple. The straightforward UI makes almost any user capable of understanding and completing sign-ins for our office. As far as an experience from a business perspective, it's hard to deny the convenience allowed to our receptionist who can remain on the same floor as the rest of the company and not have to waste time or money managing the front door of our office.
Pros:
Ease of use and convenience on tablet OS makes the visitor/contractor sign in experience much more efficient and user-friendly. At a company with multiple warehouses and many summer student/temporary employees, this service is a huge help in keeping track of hours and helps enforce security for our office entry points as well.
Cons:
Already wrote my cons in a previous review regarding online messaging support, however after having a direct line of communication with an account coordinator, we have yet to have any further problems in acquiring assistance for the iLobby service.
iLobby Review
Comments: This software is a great asset because it allows our guests to check themselves in without my presence or assistance. Because there are times when I can't be present to greet our guests this allows the check-in and check-out process to go smooth.
Pros:
This software is easy to use and for the most part self sufficient. I don't have to be present for people to use it. The software is easy to manage and keep updated.
Cons:
The biggest challenge I have is the printer and the kiosk break communication occasionally and there's not much to do but call for customer service at times. There have been a few times when my system was down for a short time until the system corrected itself. When I have large groups checking in, it does take a while for them to check in, because of the slow communication with the printer. This causes impatience with guests at times.
iLobby supporter
Comments: I love this software as it not only allows me to track who's in the building in real time but I do have too many keys in our security desk key press and this product allows me to conduct a monthly audit to see which keys get signed out the most. The keys that have been rarely signed out in the last 365 days are put in a different key press in the security office now.
Pros:
I have been using pen and paper since 1998 and the iLobby is a very good way of tracking guests, contractors and visitors in real time and the app is awesome as I can see who's in the building on weekends and week nights when I am not here.
Cons:
I would like the software to be able to bring up a person's name that has signed in in the past instead of having the person sign in on a daily basis. We use this software for some of our cleaners and they have to sign in every day and take their picture.
Amazing experience and top notch service
Pros:
Having the ability to monitor all my visitors from the online portal is by far the best feature for me. It allows me to keep track of everyone and maintain a safe environment
Cons:
I would like to see some intergration involving parcel deliveries. To be notified when a package arrives would assit i. The company running smoother
Manage your meeting room
Pros:
- Best tool to show your meeting room availability based on real time. - Option to book meeting room from device.
Cons:
- Should have option to manage 2-3 meeting room (if rooms are adjacent to each other). - User authorization before booking meeting room.
Access control
Comments: this is ideal for an inside business with a need for Access control,and confidentiality of the company.
Pros:
the pricing is affordable,and secure.,..
Cons:
nothing was in question,everything good.
iLobby
Comments: Response was slow, and I feel there is lack of attention to customer needs, and more like "this is our product, like it!"
Pros:
Ability to present different kind of documents and media, with or without signature, take a picture, scan a bar code if they completed part of it at home.
Cons:
Not flexible to upload documents and set their order Not tracking progress, e.g. How far you watched the video? It will restart if you came back. Not able to see the progress from the portal
iLobby makes visitors feel at home
Pros:
My team implemented iLobby as a way for visitors to be accounted for and organized. It was effective in doing so!
Cons:
There were two minor glitches that came about in the main interface, but the customer service was quick to fix our problem.
Very clear software
Pros:
Easy to use and very clear interface. You know exactly what you are asked for
Cons:
The user is too constraint to the given options and has to stick to the software script.
iLobby is Useful!
Comments: Overall I enjoy this product. Some suggestions which would help me particularly, a group sign in option would be awesome (sometimes I have 5-9 people show up and if I don't preregister it takes time to get them sign in). One sign in page with multiple lines would be cool and then it could easily just print the badges.
Pros:
I love that I can preregister. I love the search function. I love that I can see how many times a particular person signed in. I love that it notifies the host that the their guests are here. I love the support received when issues arise. I love how customizable the product is
Cons:
It loses connection sometimes between the printer and the iPad. Sometimes it can't find returning visitors.
HD Supply
Pros:
Very easy to use and hosts are notified via email and text which is great.
Cons:
Tough question the software is fine I think my biggest gripe is the printer loses connection all the time and I am not sure why we have used Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Easy to use application
Pros:
The software is pretty much user friendly and everything is readily available to access both for the Admins and non admins. Helps keep a track of all the visitors in a accurate manner and makes it easier to retrieve their information when necessary.
Cons:
Couldn't think of any. Had a few issues but the concerned person answered all my questions and/or provided an alternative.
iLobby - Plant Environment
Comments: iLobby is helping us to see who is on site and for how long. The system is also helpful to know how is coming to the plant.
Pros:
The easy of use and how the system allows for customization.
Cons:
System updates - no heads up about or when system updates are needed.
Easy and helpful
Pros:
Very easy to use. Visitors find it easy to use and sign in. Makes the required documents for visitors easier to handle.
Cons:
Visitors complain that their name doesn't pop up to select when they are a 'returning' visitor. They have to type it completely and exactly the same as the last time or they have to do all the documents again (if they forgot to capitalize or added a hyphen or not). Would be nice if the website dashboard showed only my site and not the others in my company.
Great Training
Comments: It's great, we use it daily.
Pros:
It looks good to our stakeholders, it is easy to use, it gives our employees notice when they have a visitor.
Cons:
We had an employee leave and during that time, we lost the screwdriver that unlocks the case. It wouldn't have caused nearly as much trouble if we were just able to restart the machine without having to go through a huge chaotic mess trying to get a replacement screwdriver.
Easy
Pros:
Pros : the software is easy to use on the desk top and the app
Cons:
Cons: none
DENSO iLobby Review

Sometimes the services goes in and out but that might be as a result of our internet connection.

Great company to do business with!
Comments: Our overall experience has been amazing. I am confident that the iLobby team will fix any issues that arise. We have had a couple changes that needed to be made and we’re helped within the day.
Pros:
iLobby has really helped us streamline our visitors that come to the office. We needed to customize a couple entry fields and I emailed our account rep, he answered within the day and the customizations were done within the day as well!
Cons:
I would like to see a better ETA for our next device that we are adding. The last package came a day late.
iLobby review
Comments: Overall iLobby has been a clean experience with very few problems which has impressed the board of directors. It is good to be able to identify guests via the badges which are logged on the system.
Pros:
iLobby is very easy to setup and integrates with our environment seamlessly
Cons:
Unable to use the label printer with the iPad via Bluetooth.
Very Good
Comments: As we use Ilobby on a daily basis for security I love the easy interface and guests find it very easy to use.

How easy it is to use and that our guests find it easy to use
Cons:
Nothing, I am happy with this product.
iLobby review
Comments: We had an issue with guest coming to the main entrance and not being able to contact their host. This lead to frustration and guess being missed and having to make another visit. Additionally, the paper log book we were using was bulky and not very useful in the event of an evacuation. Much easier and functional to review the guest list on a phone app.
Pros:
Product is very easy to use and configure, with several language and notification options. People really seem to appreciate that fact that they get email and Text message notification of visitor
Cons:
the quality of the image printed on the badges in not the best but as most people don't even look at the badge it is not really an issue
Great user friendly product
Pros:
I love how customizable it is and the ease of using the product. It is very user friendly.
Cons:
We have not found any cons up to this point. Everything has been fixed adjusted or changed to accommodate the needs we have.
