What do you like best about Kisi?

Kisi's cloud-based approach with over-the-air updates makes it a much better system than the previous generation's on-premise access systems. It has many out-of-the-box features and can easily be extendable through a mix of industry-standard components as well as its API. The android app and Apple app are great and the Apple Watch app works well too although you do have to actively click on the watch app and it's not as automatic as the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kisi?

There were some early quirks with POE compatibility on our Dell switches where we had to use POE injectors but since switching to Cisco we no longer have this issue. Sometimes the readers can go offline and we have had to swap them out. Requires active internet connection but the new offline mode solves this. Any issue we have had with Kisi seemed to get smoothed out over time so there is not much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kisi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centralized and real-time access with logging and the flexibility to extend the system over time. Helps us not have to focus on access control because it just works! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kisi?

Modern interface for administration of the system, flexibility in credentials (mobile app, cards, stickets, tokens, time-based guest links), ability to manage multiple spaces, setting specific permission levels by user group or individual users, remote door open (with ability to limit it geographically on a user by user basis), and much more. If you are looking for a more modern access system, this is it. They are also constantly working on improving the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kisi?

The reporting is a bit limited. There is a log of everything that goes on, but it can sometimes be challenging to find a specific event. In the past we've seen the system go offline for no reason we've been able to determine - a reset did the trick usually. This has not happened within the past year. If you delete the credential without deassigning it first, it cannot be used again until you contact support to have them unassign it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kisi:

Would highly recommend if you are looking to add or replace a current legacy access system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kisi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy way to administer access to our office space. Very flexible in how we assign access levels to each individual employee. The benefit is that we spend almost no time administering it - once you set it up (easy and quick to do), there is very little to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Melanie Almeida of Kisi

Thank you very much for your review. Your feedback will be shared with the product team so we can keep improving our user experience.

What do you like best about Kisi?

Kisi makes managing workspace access easy and streamlined. The ability to create different groups with various access allows for customization and personalization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kisi?

Kisi relies on internet/data to work and we have had times where our internet is out and our location has poor cell/data service so some people were unable to access certain areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kisi solving and how is that benefiting you?

In an industry where employee turnover is high, it allows us to grant and deny access with the click of a button instead of hunting down keys when an employee is no longer employed. It also allows for the customization of profiles/groups so that you can control not only who has access but when they have access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Melanie Almeida of Kisi

Thank you for your review. We’re happy to share that we do offer offline support.

Should your space lose access to the internet, Kisi supports two fallback mechanisms for unlocking doors or elevators:

Offline cache on the reader: with offline caching for credentials, Kisi allows users to unlock doors even without internet connectivity.

Offline cache on the phone: with mobile data enabled on your phone, the Kisi reader will receive a certificate from your phone through Bluetooth or NFC to unlock the door.
