My building I manage have been using them for years and I being a new manager, they walked me through the process. Pros Ease of use and love he facial recognition. Whenever there is a new Tennant they quickly update the new info and delete the prior tenant. Cons At this time, there have been no complaints from management or end users, and the equipment appears to be working properly..

I believea board member used at another location Review Source DT Danny T. Creative Director Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Swiftlane Experience" March 24, 2026 4.0 Overall the experience has been really good! I appreciate all of its features (i.e. customization, ease of use). With continued software updates Im hopeful all the bugs will be worked out so things run seamlessly. Pros I like several features of swiftlane: Overall, its easy to use, it didnt take long to get used to the interface once we had it installed. It is easy to set up specific codes for visitors and track when someone has used them. 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. Cons 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. Customer support does respond quickly, but it can take five to ten minutes to get the issue solved. It has not happened a lot, more in extreme cold weather. Alternatives considered [ButterflyMX](https://www.capterra.com/p/235587/ButterflyMX/) Reason for choosing Swiftlane I liked swiftlanes features, and a former tenant recommended it because they use it at their building Review Source MN Matthew N. Not Available Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This Product Works as Intended - and that's not Great!" March 10, 2026 1.0 The product works correctly for the most part but the world was a better place when there less electronics involved in simple day to day activities. 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. Pros It works as intended. Getting people into the building is easy. I like that there is a record of visitors coming in and out of the building. Cons I think that having cameras interact and collect our data is beyond a net negative to the world we live in. Every person I know shares the same sentiment and we all are made saddened when entering the building. Everyone I know rolls their eyes and is dismayed that this is what our world is coming to.

From the front door to the package room and even the Yale lock on our apartment door, everything is integrated and interactive. Pros I love Swiftlane's interface, facial recognition, and the ease of administration for all users. Tracking who has access and who is coming and going is a breeze. Arriving at the door with my hands full and having facial recognition unlock the door is a major plus. Giving guests temporary or permanent access pins is super simple, and I can turn them off at any time. The integration with our Yale lock and the Swiftlane app makes the process seamless and wonderful. The setup was super simple; they did everything and trained us in just 5 minutes. Cons Needs a reboot occasionally, but that is the same for all software. Only ince did the Swiftlane server go down so great uptime over 8 years. Alternatives considered [Butterfly](https://www.capterra.com/p/146769/Butterfly/) Reason for choosing Swiftlane We researched them all. Nothing was close to Swiftlane. Spectacular product. Switched from [ButterflyMX](https://www.capterra.com/p/235587/ButterflyMX/) Butterfly MX was a horrible disaster. Very pleased to see the back of that system and company. Review Source AJ P. resident Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall a good experience can work on the tweaks" February 20, 2026 4.0 Overall it's generally a good experience though when it goes down it is mildly frustrating. Being able to set up a password for visitors is Handy and convenient though Pros 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 Cons 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 Switched from [HelpLane](https://www.capterra.com/p/10034339/HelpLane/) my facility made the choice. It was not my decision.

I am not a buyer, just a user, so I cant speak more broadly to customer support or finances, but I've found it to be really useful. Pros In general I really like the overall functionality, but a few things stand out: 1) Being able to customize ongoing or one-time codes for visitors. it removed the need for key handoffs 2) I appreciate how many options I have for getting in - tapping open on my phone, face scan, code direct. I have a lot of options Cons There are a few things: 1) It can be a little buggy and the system needs to be reset (and if someone isn't inside it can be challenging). if the system shuts down and we don't know, we can miss packages etc and its pretty disruptive 2) I do think there is some bias in the face recognition software. In my experience, I think the system may have been built mostly with white male faces as the system has a harder time scanning/approving women and people of color. 3) Sometimes when a package buzzes in, my phone app glitches and I can't open it. I'm not sure if this is a switflane issue or a my phone issue Review Source JB Jesus B. Office Manager Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Remote Access made Easy" March 10, 2026 4.0 Overall, Swiftlane has made my job easier. Our office is occasionally visited by staff that do not have a badge, and with the intercom, they can easily reach me and I can help them get in. I also enjoy the pin-code feature which helps these staff members who do not have a badge. I think that is my favorite feature. I don't have to be manning the door at all hours. Pros I really enjoy Swiftlane and what I like most is that it makes providing remote access to the office easier than ever. With just a button, I can assist anyone who is locked out of our suite doors. Cons I don't like that Swiftlane occasionally goes offline, but I appreciate the quick support from the team.

AE Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall, so helpful to have but can see space for growth and improvement " March 18, 2026 5.0 Overall its been good. 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. So no problems have lingered. Its been nice to have the system in place! Pros I love the hands-free moment it creates for me. I often come home with my hands full and in a hurry and having it unlock the door for me has been so helpful. Cons There are moments when I am in a hurry, tired, holding heavy things and the system just doesn't recognize my face and I'm stuck waiting. For awhile, I was having to call my own phone to let myself in. I also learned, via a friend thankfully, that the door can be unlocked using my photo. Swiftlane should look into that if you haven't already Review Source JL Janira L. Student advocate E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Swift Lane service review" February 5, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with SwiftLane has been positive. The app is very functional easy to use and provide a level of safety for the building that we need nowadays. Pros I enjoy being able to answer from my phone from anywhere I’m at and being able to access the history of who rings the bell and it gives it clear picture date and time. Cons The intercom for swift Lane in the lobby would at times freeze up when looking for tenant apartment number and it would be redirected and we have to start over again. It didn’t happen in a lot, but it was a little bit annoying but overall not a big deal.

We've had past issues regarding our past buzzer system and Swiftlane resolved it. Pros Easy to use. Facial recognition is reliable. Guest codes for delivery drivers are pretty convenient. Cons We've had a few times where the system could not connect to our ground floor wifi and we had to resort to using our keys again. It coincided with the freezing temperatures so it was not often. Review Source JB Jeff B. President Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review by installer" May 3, 2022 5.0 Excellent experience Pros Swiftlane is VERY easy to install, and their technical support is excellent whenever we've needed assistance on-site. Cons Make the SwiftReader X POE so only one wire run is needed. Alternatives considered [ButterflyMX](https://www.capterra.com/p/235587/ButterflyMX/) Reason for choosing Swiftlane Price, customer support, ease of installation Review Source LC Lynice C. Tech Support Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Swiftlane at School" November 12, 2025 4.0 Overall, it’s been a reliable system that’s significantly improved communication and security for our school. Pros Swiftlane has honestly been a game changer at our school — it’s provided an added layer of safety for both students and staff. 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. Our admin staff uses an iPhone with the Swiftlane app to answer the door, and it’s great being able to clearly see and hear who’s there before granting access. Some staff members preferred not to use facial recognition, so I set them up with numerical codes instead — which also comes in handy if the system temporarily loses internet connection. Cons One con we’ve noticed is that the boxes occasionally lose internet connection, and I have to manually reboot the Swiftlane box. Review Source KS Kerry S. Consultant Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Feeling Safer with Swiftlane " November 13, 2025 4.0 Overall, I am glad we have the Swiftlane system and do feel safer. I like that I can open using my face, phone or iwatch. Also enjoy that I can give delivery people or guests a code to enter the building. It is also nice to be able to open the doors no matter where I am. No more waiting for deliveries at home. Pros 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. I can open the doors no matter where I am. Cons What I don’t like is when the system is down, but the repairs are made quickly. My building and the doors are historic and sometimes the lock catches. But I guess that can’t be helped. Review Source AV Alyssa V. Marketing technologist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very convenient " November 17, 2025 5.0 10/10. Never really any issues with the app, facial recognition, code, ect. The app is very user friendly Pros It was really easy to user for not only residents but also guests. I like that there is an app that connects to the gate and all doors Cons Sometimes the facial recognition would not work. However, it could have also been a network error or user error. Regardless, the errors were minimal Review Source LH Lexy H. Owner - operator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "No key entry is great! Overall safety " November 14, 2025 5.0 It’s great! Although the installers put the camera too high for face recognition I have to raise my face up high to get it read. Pros I don’t need a key to get in the building. I can assign pins for specific clients/ delivery persons Cons It only records when someone buzzes. Someone damaged my door sign so I would have liked to see who-. Review Source CB CHAMSI B. IT Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Greatly enhanced our security and convenience" April 28, 2025 4.0 Pros I have since learned that the Swiftlane’s two-way video intercom system has changed how I interact with visitors. Having an opportunity to identify guests before they enter and using pin codes for deliveries increases the level of protection and makes delivery secure. Cons There is a time delay during activity rush hours, which makes it barely functional for checking the visitors without delays. There are some small inconveniences like having to try several times to connect to its intercom via the mobile app.​ Review Source DN Deontay N.

April 20, 2022 5.0 Super great and easy. I think it would be helpful now to create your own password. Pros I didn't realize what I had been missing before this software! The overall ease of use and convenience factor is unmatched! Cons That I didn't know about it before! I admit I'm not exactly on the forefront of this kind of software but I do think it would be helpful to get the word out more :) Review Source EO Elijah O. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Apartment Entrance " April 20, 2022 5.0 Pros It’s super easy to use! Allows me to go for a run and re-enter the building without having to bring my keys! Cons Sometimes I get logged out of the app and have to go to find the building code again in order for the app to sync. Review Source Similar Products Featured
