## Reviews

### "Use of Gate Sentry" — 5.0/5

> **Nancy** | *February 20, 2020* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am able to access my account easily and make additions/changes as needed.  I am a resident in a community that uses this software for access of visitors and vendors.  I am not involved in a business that uses this software.
> 
> **Cons**: Editing existing guests/visitors isn't as easy as it should be.  Sometimes it is just easier to delete and start over than to try to edit (i.e. a name, etc.)
> 
> Love its ease of use.  Saves a lot of time

### "Easy Access" — 5.0/5

> **Sandra** | *March 2, 2020* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: no need to have to wait for someone to answer my call or get the spelling of a name wrong, I simply add the guests name myself and the length of their stay and voila\! it is done. More time is saved, And the added feature that I am notified when a guest arrives is a bonus.
> 
> **Cons**: forgot password and it took us a few days to figure out how to reset it, but once we were sent an email it was easy.

Its tablet-based system replaces additional hardware like scanners and computers, centralizing all guard activities into a unified tool. Guards can search for visitors using various criteria, such as resident names, addresses, vendor names, or license plate numbers. This tablet functions seamlessly online and offline, ensuring continuous logging. Changes made to the visitor list by users automatically update on the guard's tablet in real-time, streamlining the visitor check-in process to just 3 seconds. Users have the flexibility to create and update their visitor lists via either the mobile app or web portal, from any device. When a guard grants access to an authorized visitors, the user will receive arrival notifications via text and email, all of which are logged in their history.\n\nSentry Solo is revolutionary access management software designed for unmanned gates, entrances, amenities, and desired access points. It significantly reduces costs by eliminating all hardware and enabling mobile access through the VirtualKey and VirtualKeypad. Users can directly open any access point from their mobile device within the Gate Sentry app using the VirtualKey, eliminating the need for clicks, keys, and fobs. Sentry Solo also extends to visitor access. Users easily add their visitors' names and phone numbers within the app, categorizing them as permanent or temporary.\nThe system automatically sends a text to the visitor, containing a unique 5-digit access code specific to that visitor. Permanent visitors always have access, while temporary visitors' codes expire as set by the user. Visitors use a QR code instead of a physical keypad at the desired access point. Scanning the QR code on their mobile device activates the VirtualKeypad without app downloads. Visitors enter their unique 5-digit code for entry. Users receive arrival notifications via text and email, all logged in their history.\n\nGate Sentry and Sentry Solo offer unparalleled access control for any access point or property type.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/2cd5f8f4-a6a6-4e48-b134-73781f38be07.png","url":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/114569/gate-sentry","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/114569/gate-sentry#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.4,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":69},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Windows on premise, Linux on premise, Chrome, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/114569/gate-sentry#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Visitor Management Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/334/visitor-management/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Gate Sentry","position":3,"item":"/software/114569/gate-sentry","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
