**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

Software interface is intuitive and it is very easy to use. Can get to whatever information I need and any setting I want to set. Used by many large corporations and small companies and easy for both. When I have questions, tech support is very responsive. Has been running for years without any failures.

Slightly more expensive than some of the bare-bones offerings, but in return it is also more secure than they are.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allows access control and security for my company in whatever way we want... phone-only, cards, fobs, remote access, guest access, etc. We use cameras for both security and intercom functionality.

The ease of use with Avigilon Alta has been a real treat.  It is very intuitive and user friendly with fantastic customer support.  I haven't even scratched the surface of all of the possible features.  We rolled it out for our school district this summer and it has been a great tool that we use every day.  Implementing schedules, groups, and security functions has been very straightforward.

The minor software bugs I have witnessed have been resolved immediately and some of the features we would like to see are being assessed by the team.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scheduling doors to be open and limiting/extending user group access has really helped us provide safe and secure buildings.

Good user experience and easy to use.

Since i use it from my phone, if battery goes off, I'm stuck.

Latest technology for locking and unlocking capability. No requirement for badges anymore, just do it from your phone.

**Reviewed by:** Michael T. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2024

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

The ease of the service is very comparable

Sometimes there is a little bit of a lag time

Video surveillance cameras do go down during high sunspot and Corono mass injection days, but overall very well

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2024

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

Security aspet, range of product, number of features

A more DIY supoort will be helpful, Right now the user interface seems a bit not good for the end users.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

End to end security, On prem solutions

  ### 8. Easy system to implement security

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kirsti N. | Veterinarian, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2023

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

Excellent security feature that can be used across multiple websites. The application is simple to install and has easy to follow instructions for users to get started with.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

Openpath is a great system. I honestly have nothing bad to say. I have used it across multiple jobs and even for website security when trying to obtain my global entry card.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Building security is very important to me as a female employee who works 12 hr shifts sometimes at odd hours. With Openpath, I feel good knowing that not just anyone can gain access to the building where i am working.

  ### 9. Easy office access from my phone

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katharine L. | Content Marketing Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2022

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

Easy to have an app on my phone rather than a keycard (that I'd probably forget at home) to get into my office building. It's super simple to get set-up and rolling on your first day of work! User experience is pretty good.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

The only thing I dislike is that in order to use the wave function to unlock doors, you have to have bluetooth and location services "Always On" (which can drain your phone battery). It tracks where you are and how many times you've used Openpath in the past. The alternative is turning location services off, which means you have to open up the app on your phone and tap on the  "Unlock" button to open the door.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to remotely control access to our office building, giving front door access to the building to all employees, making it easier to limit the access employees have to the office at various times (ie, on the weekends/late at night).

  ### 10. Now enter without badge

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Irfanul H. | Planogram Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

Earlier, we used to carry our badges everywhere in our office and hit on the locks to get access. I am so glad that my company implemented Openpath. One of the best features of the open path is that it provides access through proximity sensors on my mobile phone, and I no longer have to carry the badges in my hand. It is super user-friendly and reliable. The watch access method is an excellent feature.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

Although it is feature rich and super practical, I am yet to find a solution to access my office door in case of my phone’s battery drainage. Since Openpath is not fully matured, we get to see bugs sometime. However, reopening or reinstalling the application gets the job done.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Openpath provides my company with a robust and reliable access control system for employees. Since it is cloud-based software, it is super easy with Openpath to grant and revoke access and remotely control it.

  ### 11. Easy to use and intuitive

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan R. | T, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

The ease of scheduling sites/zones is very helpful and creates flexibility for the numerous changes that need to be made to our system each week, makes this program ideal for our organization.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

One thing that I'd like to see changed is the ability to add zones to more than one schedule. I cannot enter zones on more than one schedule and have to modify them multiple times each week.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Openpath puts all of our access needs and door/gate control into one system. Openpath creates the ability to schedule areas to open areas automatically and lessens the workforce needed to run our programs.

  ### 12. OpenPath Feedback

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eric H. | Senior Accountant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2022

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

Our company recently rolled our OpenPath to manage access for our SF headquarters, I was one of the first employees to use it and what I like best about it, is how the tool made it super simple for me to access the office and get to the different rooms by just using my phone. Vs before I would need to carry a badge around, which is easily forgotten by many employees.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

Since we are still early in using OpenPath, we have noticed some technical bugs. There was a time when OpenPath auto update the app and I was no longer able to gain access. Re-installing the app was able to resolve the issue.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OpenPath is solving the annoyance of how employees and our facilities team previous access and manage the office. OpenPath made it more simple and convenient for both employees and management to provision access to our building.

  ### 13. OpenPath Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nestor H. | SDR, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2022

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

I love that I don't have to remember my badge everyday for work; in previous companies, I, unfortunately, made the trip back home once I realized I did not have my work badge.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

I have used openpath for over a year this week, and to date, I have zero complaints. It has gone offline maybe twice in the past year, but it was resolved in less than 10 minutes.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It takes the worry out of securing our workspace, it creates a seamless transition from the outside world to our protect office building in the blink of an eye.

  ### 14. Openpath opens path for future Door Access System

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jatin . | Security Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2022

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

No doubt, it's a technology to ease the Door Access System, and it works efficiently with a wave of a Phone or even a hand, which looks like magic. It helps the employer track the login/logout activity while keeping the employee updated about his real-time attendance.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

Believe this is an emerging technology; hence it has it's own pros and cons. We faced an issue multiple times while using the OpenPath app as it won't work and requires us to turn on/off Bluetooth and location a number of times a day to get this worked.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It removed the traditional card requirement to access the Door System, which eliminates any wait time for new joiner to get their card created and also eliminates the burden and fear of carrying and losing multiple cards for numerous door access.

  ### 15. Openpath helps me safely and securely visit my gym

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

I like that my gym uses the app to get in and out of my gym; that way, I know there are only folks that are supposed to be inside the gym when I work out early morning or late at night at my 24-hour gym.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

I think it would be cool to see more statistics on how long I was at the gym and when so I can track my progress and it would also be cool to see the data visually on a graph.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I like that it makes me feel safe when I workout when no one else might be around at the gym. It helps me feel safe and secure when lifting so that I can enjoy my workout session.

  ### 16. Hit and miss product

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

Our office building management installed this system, and they are really happy as it helps the manager track everyone in and out, as a user I am a bit unsatisfied although.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

Ssometimes if the phone is not touching, it will not work. Additionally, other times if the phone is in your bah but you are waving your hand, it may or may not work. There is a time lag, and sometimes it just does not work. 
Overall improvements needed, does not work 40% of the times.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Already mentioned earlier, it was more a  management decision at the co working space where my office is located for them to know for security purposes everyone in and out; as a user it adds extra work to carry the phone with me all times to get in and out.

  ### 17. Easy to use, does what we need

  ### 18. Convenient Access

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Samir A. | Consultant Financial Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2022

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

The ability to easily share access to guests, and the convenience of using a phone rather than a separate fob/key for building access.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

The major drawback is losing access when my phone battery dies or is otherwise not available. I have several times been locked out because of this.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Openpath provides a convenient building access solution. In particular it provides a means to allow temporary access to individuals without distributing a physical key.

  ### 19. Very convenient. No bades/FOBs required to access your office spaces!

I don't even have to open anything in order to use the system - it just automatically unlocks what I need unlocked as I approach.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

Kind of tricky to set up at first & get access to everything if it's not done correctly.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making it easier to access secured areas without needing a fob, just need your phone. Everyone pretty much always has their phone at all times.

**Reviewed by:** Nathan M. | Wine Educator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2022

Ease of use, reliable operation, speed of access. No real training required either, very intuitave.

Requires specific hardware in our case instead of utilizing existing equipment.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Makes keyfobs obsolete for everyone and makes it so no one forgets theirs at home (nobody ever forgets their phone these days). Also means no physical device to recoup during terminations which makes for less of a headache for the hr group.

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2022

It gets away from traditional security badges and better for the environment. You can also customize security restrictions for any particular user and track every users whereabouts if you are the admin user.

Sometimes the bluetooth doesnt detect the device - it can get a bit clunky. But in my experience, it's been rare. I think they can also enable geolocation so that the door automatically opens if you are in the vicinity.

Secure access to buildings and offices.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed by:** Chris T. | System Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

The ease of use helps train end-users who are not tech-savvy.  The web portal makes adding users and restrictions easy.

OpenPath reporting would be expanded - having the ability to see all failed attempts and not just security-based would help troubleshoot issues.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managed access for a multi-tenant environment - locking down different entities based on specific company rules.  Much more productive compared to the previous user access system.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sarah R. | Office Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about Avigilon Alta?**

I like that I don't have to manage physical badges, we just use our phones for access.

**What do you dislike about Avigilon Alta?**

It's not the same experience for all, it can be a little finicky at times.

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have our Envoy Protect integrated with our Open Path so it won't allow an employee in if they haven't filled out the county-required health questionnaire first. It's a great barrier that keeps us all safer.

  ### 34. Excellent product, feature rich and reliable

**What problems is Avigilon Alta solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Access control is a tough challenge and Openpath provides a very robust solution.  We are able to add and revoke access in a breeze without having to issue keys or cards.  Makes onboarding and offboarding a lot easier on us.

**Official Response from Kat Olsheske:**

> Hi Philip! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're really glad to hear that your Openpath experience has, for the most part, been positive. :)

I've submitted your feedback to our Engineering Team. Rest assured we are looking into ways on how to optimize reader settings to make it easy for Admins to set up the account for optimal use of the wave-to-unlock feature.

Feel free to email support@openpath.com if you'd like to be notified when that update comes out.

Thank you again!
