I am a resident in an apartment building. ### "Frequent Swiftlane Crashes Make Building Access Unreliable" November 10, 2026 2.5 I mean, not having to use my keys all the time and I suppose not having to get up to get the buzzer. It is also nice to see who is at the door. As well as the ability to set a pin for someone to enter. Otherwise, I would say more of a hassle than a help. Pros I liked the facial recognition (when it worked) and the ability to open my door from my phone without getting up to the buzzer. The "unlock" button was also super helpful when I needed to open the door for someone with stuff in their hands who I knew lived in my building (e.g. the super). I liked the ability to set pins for one time use or multiple uses. Cons Swiftlane crashes a lot. Either the facial recognition doesn't work (ok, can do without that) but then the PIN unlock AND the unlock from the phone often don't work, too. It was buffering or just not working, I don't know. This is really dangerous given that sometimes we need to access the building quickly. I always carry my keys as backup but someone could easily lock themselves out. I do not like that each apartment does not have 2 access codes for different people. In that if someone buzzes for my sister, it sometimes only rings on my phone or vice versa. It would be nice to be able to distinguish who the person is calling for and ensure that both occupants of an apartment can receive a call. Sometimes the notification doesn't go to either of our phones. It is frustrating that if I'm on a call, it will interrupt the call to ring. This makes the above difficult when my sister gets deliveries throughout the day and I am on work calls. Finally, there needs to be some kind of version of this that is user friendly for elderly users and/or people without smart phones. I had to help set this up for multiple people in my building who weren't able to figure it out. They've been living in our building for 40 years and essentially overnight weren't able to let people in coming to deliver them groceries or care. Review Source Natalie A.

I wish you could turn off sound in the app. Review Source Customer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great customer service by Swiftlane Support Team!" October 20, 2026 5.0 Although an annoying situation by the lack of access due to campground deactivation, Swiftlane took a proactive approach to isolate the problem and went above a beyond to resolve as quickly as possible. Pros The quick customer service response. Although not a problem with the Swiftlane app, the tech support technician was respectful during the situation and very helpful to determine the exact issue. Cons All is good! There have been no experiences with Swiftlane that would be considered non-customer focused. Review Source Senior External Affairs Officer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great system, installation challenges. " October 8, 2026 4.0 The hardware and software are very good but would appreciate if Swiftlane vets installers more and perhaps provide a 2nd option for how the system comes online and an overall feedback form to ensure full satisfaction. Pros Facial recognition, ease of use, durability, slick interface, and multiple ways to unlock the door. Good customer service with most requests. Cons The experience with the installer left something to be desired. He connected it to a cellular connection which is less stable than an ethernet or Wifi which makes the system slower than it should be and sometimes makes it go offline in the rain. The installer also left a lot of unused equipment. Switched from [Aegis CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/172138/Aegis-CRM/) Interface and ease of use combined better features. Alternatives considered [ButterflyMX](https://www.capterra.com/p/235587/ButterflyMX/) Reasons for choosing Swiftlane Better pricing, more durability, and facial recognition. Review Source resident Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Aakash Saxena was great" October 7, 2026 5.0 I asked that our apartment number be added to my name in the directory. Initially this was not the case. Pros We don't get buzzed as often by delivery people seeking residents of other apartments, which is an interruption to us. Cons It violates my privacy by retaining videos of my visitors. While there may be cause to hold on to the recordings for a limited amount of time, keeping them permanently is an unwarranted invasion of privacy. Review Source Building manager and Real estate investor Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "SF landlord review" October 5, 2026 4.0 Overall experience has been good. When there are issues with the system they are almost always resloved with Swiftlane tech support. Tenants are very happy with the system as well. Pros Secure and safe way for packages and food to get delivered. Facial recognition allows for tenants to not use key entry. Cons The intercom goes down every now and then. I worry tenants do not bring their key as back up and will be locked out. Switched from [LAPLINK 14](https://www.capterra.com/p/247466/LAPLINK-14/) Because my old intercom stopped working.

Review Source EA Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great for Building Access" October 5, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Swiftlane has been good. It’s convenient, easy to use, and makes managing access much simpler. Pros Swiftlane is easy to use and makes managing building and visitor access convenient, especially with remote door unlocking and mobile access. Cons It can occasionally experience connectivity issues or glitches that may require a reset or reboot. It would be helpful if the system were a little more consistent and reliable. Review Source Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Swiftlane #1 access system" September 21, 2026 5.0 Great property tool, residents enjoy. The look of the system, the app itself is useful and easy to use. Pros Swift lane is easy to use and efficient. With multiple ways to use, like face recognition, and pin generation. Cons Have not had any major issues. One issue was the system would go offline whenever the internet was disrupted, but resolves quickly. Alternatives considered [ButterflyMX](https://www.capterra.com/p/235587/ButterflyMX/) Reasons for choosing Swiftlane The price and product, worked for our site. Review Source Business Management Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Most Recommended System" September 10, 2026 5.0 Great customer service, always understanding and courteous.

Pros System is best value for your money, user friendly system, camera is great for security sense, you can keep track of the people coming to your doors, great system to customize to what is needed, overall great system secure doors locked up and great for all types of spaces, totally recommended to everyone.

Professional and kind correspondence. Always available. Pros Customer service was amazing, quick and easy. I would highly reccomend Swiftland to any business any time. Cons Nothing at this time.

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..

Pros Outdoor panel looks reasonably ok and easy to use. The capacity to add/remove/edit users and choose different access points is good. But nothing that other products are not providing. Cons The system is unreliable and needs to be re-set very often. If we can have 2 months with no problems to access the building or access points we are lucky. On top of this, customer service is as inefficient and inconsiderate as customer service can be. It took months of complaining about the constant need to re-set the system until it completely failed and then a month to solve the problem. This is neither safe nor fair for a building entry system. Review Source Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great experience with Swiftlane " July 28, 2026 5.0 Incredible! The attention to detail, and how fast the issue was resolved. I couldn't ask for better service. Thank you so much! Pros Quick service, and to the point. \[sensitive content\] was incredibly helpful.

I've been working with Swiftlane for a few years now, and they've always been awesome!

Their support team is consistently responsive, professional, and knowledgeable, making it easy to get answers and resolve issues quickly. The platform is intuitive, reliable, and offers excellent security features that are well suited for modern communities. Based on my experience, I would confidently recommend Swiftlane to other associations looking for a dependable building access solution. Pros I've been working with Swiftlane for a while now, and honestly, one of the things I appreciate most is their support team. Every time I've called, someone has answered right away I don't think I've ever had to sit on hold. Everyone I've spoken with has been professional, friendly, and really knows what they're talking about. They always take the time to explain things clearly, answer my questions, and never make me feel like I'm asking something obvious. The platform itself is also easy to use, and I like that it has modern features like mobile access and facial recognition. Overall, it's been a straightforward system to manage for both our team and the residents. Cons Like any cloud-based access system, it depends on internet and system availability. While we've experienced a few minor issues, Swiftlane's team communicated clearly and resolved them promptly Review Source Tenant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Clay Street" August 31, 2026 4.0 It’s so very new, my overall experience has been fine but I have absolutely no idea what that will be like in three months, six months or a year from now. Pros Ease of use, user friendly, worked from the beginning without issues; overall seems like a very good product. Cons The instructions for downloading the app where a bit ambiguous; when asked for the password related to the email provided, there was no mention that the password word was actually my Apple password not my email password. Review Source na Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Overall good experience" February 24, 2026 5.0 Overall its been a great upgrade for my building. 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 AE Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Overall, so helpful to have but can see space for growth and improvement " March 21, 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 Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Smart Access Control that Delivers! " March 9, 2026 4.0 Swiftlane Support is very helpful, but everything goes through the Property Manager. Setting up my profile was a challenge at first, but resolved in a timely manner. Pros Safe, streamlined easy access into my apartment building. I can use face recognition, a PIN, or the unlock door feature on the app to open the door. Delivery drivers can call me to buzz them in. Cons Camera outside is sensitive to sunlight so it doesn’t face recognition is a challenge sometimes. The actually magnetized door lock on the front building door does not close or lock properly. Review Source Tech Support Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Swiftlane at School" November 13, 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 Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Excellent Experience with Swiftlane" May 29, 2026 5.0 Swiftlane is an excellent team, they are very professional and they always answered all of my questions and concerns. Pros 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. They also didn't stop until my problem was fixed. Cons There have been a few times where the product's internet connection was unstable, and the system wasn't working properly. Review Source Similar Products Featured
