SwipedOn

Avantages

The best part about this software is the simple user interface in the web-based dashboard. I have used many different applications for this specific purpose and SwipedOn was by far the easiest to get up and running. I would spend hours trying to get the other software offerings set up and looking just how I like it. I was up and running with SwipedOn in 15 minutes. I also feel like the overall look of the application on our iPad looks more professional than any other software offering I have tried. The layout, look, and feel, of the visitor interface is simple, clean, and stylish. I don't ever have to help or explain how to use the application to visitors, it just that easy to use.

Inconvénients

I have not come up on anything that I don't like yet. I haven't had SwipedOn in use very long but I have been using applications like this offered by other companies and it is by far the best one that meets our current needs and price point.

Avantages

It works on a very basic tablet, it prints over wifi to a label/badge printer. looks a feels really great to use

Inconvénients

I had one experience where the SMS connector failed but there was no alert. It doesn't integrate with legacy HR resource systems. The app doesn't update with other app store updates, i seems that it needs to be done manually

Pourquoi passer à SwipedOn

Avantages

Easy and efficient to sign in and out using this software.

Inconvénients

A few teething problems and bugs to fix occasionally, but generally get sorted quickly.

Avantages

The Visitor sign on is easy to use and has a nice interface.

Inconvénients

SwipedOn Pocket Geofencing does not work consistently, so is very frustrating.
And after trying & trying to resolve with the SwipedOn team, we've all given up..

Avantages

The interface is straightforward and it was very easy to use from the first day I visited the office when I was in the hiring process until becoming an employee. It makes check in simpler when using the mobile app.

Inconvénients

Even though it hasn't happened yet, I sense that it could be confusing in case of an evacuation. However, it may perform well if the team in charge of accounting for everyone is well trained on it.

Avantages

The software looks smart and has plenty of customisation options to make sure the app continues the company brand. The employee in/out feature is key to our business and receiving visitors information and email notifications to our staff when they have a visitor is excellent.

Inconvénients

As an early user of this app there were a number of features that used to require a few too many clicks to access or felt slow to use, but the app has been updated a lot throughout our time using swiped-on and it is always improving.

Pourquoi passer à SwipedOn

Avantages

Super simple to use
The features that are customizable, are easy to customize
My users love it
Support is always available to chat. I love this.

Inconvénients

I want more customization of the fields that visitors can fill in

Avantages

Very intuitive. Easy to customise and personalise the welcome screen. Adding and managing users is a breeze. And contactless sign in and out has been most useful during the current COVID pandemic.

Inconvénients

Nothing. So far this is the best sign in software I have ever used.

Avantages

We use SwipedOn as a lobby registration system at the International Center for our church organization. We currently use three tablets for guest visitors into our building. Visitors are classified at our site from the three different building entities, as well as Chapel, Museum, Service/Tech, and Tour visitors. Depending on the category of visitor they may sign off on a necessary form and get their picture taken. Their name and picture are forwarded to the client user/team, as well as our security team. The ease of use for logging in and logging out impresses many of our guests and vendors.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately, we do not utilize all the features available as they are not needed at our site.

Avantages

Ease of navigation, change of tenant/visitor details can be edited easily

Inconvénients

Error message after logging in on occasion, but it's no problem

Avantages

It was quick and easy to set up and implement in our office. We like the simplicity and how it can be branded to our company and needs. Not to mention, the customer service and response is fantastic. They quickly helped us with an issue - and were super friendly in the process.

Inconvénients

The app could be a little more customizable.

Avantages

Product support is second to none. The software is simple to setup and manage. Security of data is robust. User system maintenance is very light, keeping our resources on the job, not burdening staff with more tasks.

Inconvénients

Automated sign out options don't notify or seek confirmation. The Visitor or Employee should be required to give positive confirmation of sign out to underwrite duty of care obligations.

Avantages

Good customer service to help you set it up initially. After that, it basically runs itself.

Before we selected SwipedOn, we looked at several different sign in apps. SwipedOn was the clear winner for us:
- Simplicity
- All the features we need, none that we don't need
- Inexpensive
- Intuitive for users
- All you need is the name of the person you are visiting, very easy
- web interface available for admins to see the past history of all the sign ins (including names, phone numbers, email addresses, etc. - very useful for marketing follow up).

1. Tap "Sign In"
2. Tap person you are going to visit
3. Read through the health & safety and other wording (customisable message specific to the company).
4. Sign on the ipad that you agree.
5. Ipad will take your picture and send an email to the person you are visiting to notify them of your arrival.
6. A name tag automatically prints out from a small Brother label printer next to the ipad.
7. Done!

Inconvénients

SwipedOn is only for companies that want a "no frills" experience. If you require thousands of features, look elsewhere (for instance, there is no integration with Active Directory).

Currently only works on an ipad. However, this is not a big deal. We bought an ipad lock stand to keep the ipad secure. We also can lock down the ipad into Guided Access Mode. This prevents visitors from accessing anything besides SwipedOn on the ipad.

Avantages

The ability to do away with all the paperwork required when welcoming a visitor on site.

Inconvénients

The initial cost of buying an iPad and stand.

Avantages

We wanted to move away from the old style pen and paper in our organization, the system is easy to setup and easy to use, the system is very customisable.
having the ability to pre-register visitors is really helpful.
SwipedOn support team are really friendly and easy to talk / live chat with, always happy to help and generally resolve most issues within the initial conversation.
Generally the system has had a lot of positive feedback from our users and visitors within the group .

Inconvénients

software updates can be quite frequent, but they generally fix most bugs quite quickly after iOS updates.
We have a lot of agile users who move from site to site, being able to add their email address to each account would be a great help, there is a workaround but means using a fictitious email and adding the main email as a cc'd address.
future developments would be good for adding a department in the user field which could enable a quicker roll call for evacuation mode, it is quite slow running through a site with 100 users, but no slower than the traditional paper based sheets.
not sure if it would ever happen, but having the ability to use an android device for the system would be a good option, given the costs of iPads compared to Samsung devices.

Avantages

Easy to use. Modern looking interface. Very easy to make any changes to the system based on our needs.

Inconvénients

Employees tend to forget to sign in. It could do a better job of notifying employees when they don't sign-in. Some employees only come into our office a few days a month and it can difficult for them to remember to sign in. An automated process would catch everyone coming into the office.

Avantages

This software is very easy to use. The simplicity helps users from different backgrounds use the software. It is also very efficient way to keep account of all visitors that comes to the offices. The features are very easy to use. I found it very easy to use on the first couple days. I would recommend every company to have this as it definitely brings out the new technology era we are living in. All of our guests love it!

Inconvénients

The only issue I've had with it and it's a very minor issue is once in a blue moon the printer would be disconnected from the iPad. Other than that, I've had no other issues.

Avantages

Once the initial configuration is setup for the appearance and data collection it just works. No intervention is required to keep it running smoothly.

Inconvénients

Email notifications for guest arrival sometimes take a few minutes to be received. Not sure if this is an issue on our end with the threat prevention software that we employ to scan incoming emails.

Avantages

easy access anytime to a specific sites for accountability

Inconvénients

nothing yet it has performed as required

Avantages

Practical, uncomplicated software which suits our companies needs. It is a smart, flexible sign in, sign out for visitors and contractors reducing our paper usage.

In our current times; SwipedOn allows for contactless sign ins and contact tracing.

Working on a controlled site: SwipedOn prints required identification badges, along with policy entry procedures for visitors/contractors sign on.
SwipedOn notifies relevant parties of their visitors arrival, if the front desk is unattended, sending an email or text message.

Inconvénients

It is an easy tool to use, fast and seamless.

Avantages

Packed with features.
Highly configurable & customisable.
Great customer support.

Inconvénients

Just being a bit picky but it would be nice to be able to redesign the label that is printed. Although, in fairness, it contains everything that we need on it so it's not really an issue.

Avantages

The aesthetic appearance which adds a professional look to a basic, but important task. It allows the company to collect relevant and vital data in a user friendly format. It does away with the old style books and entry passes and replaces it with a system that can be searched at a glance from your computer screen. It professionalises a moribund, out of date process and enhances the initial reaction of visitors. It's an old cliché but first impressions count and with the help of Swipedon visitors to our company have a positive image from the start.

Inconvénients

The lack of site specific functionality. The ability to log in and out between sites where we have multiple iPads. It would be useful to know at which access point visitors/staff entered the site and equally as important to know where they exited. I haven't yet found out how to have a plain background on the welcome screen with just our company logo showing rather than the stock images loaded on to the system.

Avantages

In our company we use every day to make access to visitors and check who is in the plant at every moment

Inconvénients

We would appreciate the monthly invoice arriving directly to our accountant email, with no need to go into the system for download every month.

Avantages

Easy to use for clients/visitors, excellent notification service

Inconvénients

We are unable to find any fault with SwipedOn

Avantages

We regularly have visitors ask about SwipedOn and where they can get it, it definitely portrays a positive image to visitors, especially those visiting for the first time. It is very user friendly. It allows our receptionist to easily pre-register visitors or they can sign-in when they arrive. Having a mandatory visitor procedures that they need to read and sign is helpful for ensuring they are complying with our safety rules.

Inconvénients

It would be nice to be able to record the serial number of a security prox card given to contractors and technicians when they come in to service our equipment.
