VisitUs Reception Reviews

Happy customer and guests

Comments: We replaced out paper based visitor register with VisitUs Reception over 12 months ago and haven't looked back. we have had a couple of minor issues that we reported to support and they were quickly addressed and updates were issued to resolve the problems. we get comments from clients daily asking what we are using as it works so well and looks professional.

Pros:

Simple to setup and get started. easy to use for both administrators and guests. the interface is able to be customised to your own preferences including images, custom PDF for non disclosure and what data you need want to collect about the guest. Ability to import from AD makes initial setup much simpler.

Cons:

Nothing, the product achieves exactly what we are after with minimal administration once it has been setup

VisitUs Reception Review

Pros:

Usability of Guests sign in. Works almost flawlessly. Customer Support. Special call out to Alister for continuously supporting and updating us on issues and key feature releases.

Cons:

Hosts implementation was a bit buggy resulting in some inconsistencies (fixed now)

Alternatives Considered: Proxyclick, Teamgo, WhosOnLocation, Envoy, SwipedOn and Honeywell Forge Visitor Management

Reasons for Switching to VisitUs Reception: Had a better balance for features vs cost effectiveness. Also was perfectly scaled to what we needed as a pose to other software which bundled features we'd never use.

7 Months in it is going very well

Comments: They have been fantastic with any issue or problem and contact is really quick for support.

Pros:

The ease of using this software and giving us the edge with technology without the hassle of too much information needed. Students are emailed their QR code after signing in the first time and can easily sign in an out during the week they are with us.

Cons:

There are a few steps we would like to take out of the iPad sign in process but are unable to from our end.

Very happy with it--GREAT VALUE!

Comments: We love it!

Pros:

This program was the best we've found in terms of customization within our budget! We love printing the badges with the QR code. Once all of our members register, it will make signing in very fast and easy. VisitUs allowed us to ask many of the sign-in questions we needed to, keeps track of them, and updates the backoffice app in real time as people sign in.

Cons:

I'd like to have more customizable fields--we couldn't ask all of the sign in questions that we would have liked, but we were able to get most of them.

This product works well for our needs

Comments: Mostly, the product's been very useful for our company needs and we're happy with it. The price is excellent for the value.

Pros:

The product both emails and texts. The creators will work directly with you on features, etc.

Cons:

We had a couple of configurations that aren't really part of the software that we couldn't make happen.

Alternatives Considered: Proxyclick, Envoy and SwipedOn

Reasons for Switching to VisitUs Reception: The price was right for the needs of the software. We took the week's trial and it worked great so we purchased it.

Great Product

Comments: The software is great, the customer service and response time is amazing. We love that we can get assistance super quick to resolve any problems.

Pros:

We really enjoyed that this software met all of our requirements and was in our budget. We love that we can print badges for guests, and use it as a sign-in system for our employees.

Cons:

The pictures on the badges aren't very clear.

Reasons for Switching to VisitUs Reception: It met all of our requirements and was in our price range.

VisitUs for Corporate HQ

Comments: Our experience was very good with the VisitUs product & team. They were always available during the adoption to make sure the experience went as smooth as possible. This is a great product to help move your company into a new eco-friendlier alternative to reception registration.

Pros:

It has allowed us to take a greener approach to our visitor registration at HQ by eliminating the need to use paper. We were also able to customize the application so that it fits what we require visitors to provide such as photo, who you are here to see, a signature for our visitor release form, and the SOS emergency feature.

Cons:

It would not be fair to list cons because all of the initial negatives we had were worked out with the VisitUs customer care team. Everything ended up getting fixed or adjusted for us so there were no outstanding "Cons".

Safe, Secure, Efficient Reception Tool

Comments: Our financial firm is easily able to log both clients and building maintenance, saving us the hassle of wasting time throughout our day to deal with visitor check-in issues.

Pros:

Helps create so many efficiencies for our company and helps us cut down costs. It saves us time during our days by not having to have someone away from their desk dealing with visitors. It also helps create a better client experience with updated technology and a more streamlined process.

Cons:

We've had the glitch here and there, but there are not many other complaints to speak of. The software does exactly what we need it to do.

Great system! Easy to Setup & Use.

Comments: Our overall experience with VisitUs Reception has been great! the staff located in Sydney were very responsive and took time out to understand our business needs. They walked us through setting up the system and were always available to answer any of our queries. They are a great team to deal with!
Our aim was to remove the dependency of a staff member sitting in Reception, which VisitUs Reception has surely done. Our part-time receptionist is now free to move around the office and is assisting various business units with administration work and the likes.

Pros:

Very easy to setup and maintain. A set and forget type system, which works great for a medium sized office like ours where we are short on staff. It is very user friendly and met all of our requirements, self-service sign in/out, notifying Hosts via email and SMS, online emergency evacuation lists. With a very reasonable price tag for what it offers!

Cons:

We’ve used it for about a year now and can’t see anything I dislike about it.

A great system, perfect for reception

Pros:

Ease of data entry iPad app speed of printing with their recommended printer Great support

Cons:

Cannot print across different networks (computers, printers and iPads must be on the same network)

Visitus Reception Review

Pros:

Visitors are impressed by the technology. It paints our company in a good light.

Cons:

Sometimes it does not work. I have been in communication with the customer executive, but we are not always able to resolve issues. Issues primarily include visitors receiving the following message: "There was a problem. Please sign in again." This usually happens at least once a day and is quite frustrating. When the system works I am impressed by it, but the problem is that it isn't reliable.

VisitUs Review

Comments: We are now able to with a click of the mouse see who is on site, visiting whom for what purpose. we are now even looking at using this same software for our deliveries to site. and rolling this out to multiple locations.

Pros:

When visiting a company we came across this software, 2 weeks later we installed this same software in our company premises and have not looked back. the ability to contact visitors whilst on site via email or sms, is very helpful in our line of work. The feedback we are receiving from staff and visitors alike is very positive and encouraging. The ease of use for the which it operates for the end user. and ability to fill in reports for departments is also excellent.

Cons:

Sorting out the glitches initially was a little troublesome

Alternatives Considered: Online Induction and Envoy

Reasons for Switching to VisitUs Reception: the simple transition, the online assistance

Enjoyed full experience with VisitUs Reception

Comments: The use of an iPad sign in screen within the multiple locations of the company has made it easier to both inform employees when their visitor arrives, but also track visitors stays on an online platform instead of paper sign in sheets means that it's much easier to know when customers/visitors have been at which premises when. Originally I found the AD integration application to not work, by going through customer service I quickly obtained the powershell script and discovered the problem our company was personally having and fixed the script, informing VisitUs what occurred. Soon after, advertising of AD integration was removed from their website, as I was informed they were going to further expand the integration and fixed the problems i found. All of this was done within a few days of my original complaint, in a very timely manner which I greatly appreciated.

Pros:

Very Simple to understand online portal. Application is well laid out, and looks very professional whilst offering great customisability to make the application suit the company brand. Good integration with AD , continually being improved The ability to text employees when their visitor arrives Very helpful customer service, making the whole testing of the service extremely easy

Cons:

The application for phones typically did not work as well as the text and email integration, and felt slightly more "juttery" in operation, although I'm sure is being improved with updates The AD integration was fiddly to set up at the time, through use of a powershell script, however this is apparently soon being updated to a more user friendly application

Helpful tool.

Comments: It has solved the problem of visitors and contractors just turning up on site and not having any kind of Health and Safety induction, and it has made a massive difference in our monitoring of who and why people are on site, it also helps us conform to H&S regulations

Pros:

The fact that it’s easy to operate for visitors.

Cons:

Sometimes it my crash or lose the Wifi signal.

Simple & Easy

Comments: The feature I liked the most is it's integration with our Active Directory Address Book using the WiFi Connection

Pros:

Our Customers find it very easy to use, It's a user friendly software

Cons:

So far I am quite happy with the Software.

Fantastic software

Comments: we now have a deskless reception, freeing up the space for us to set up a meeting pod; guests buzz in, sign in & can make a coffee or sit in the pod until their meeting starts

Pros:

we love this software, the best feature is that it emails the person being visited so that they can come down to meet their guest as soon as they sign in, so the guest is not kept waiting for someone to find who they have come to see. it is so easy to use & set up too.

Cons:

nothing, it does what it says on the tin, very efficiently.

Easy, professional, good reporting.

Comments: Ease, efficiently, professional, great reporting function.

Pros:

The ease, reporting, adding new staff members, it helps me at reception and is so professional I love the feature that I can pre-register clients - which give the company an efficient and professional look and it an excellent feature when we have workshops for some 30 odd people. Some days we have up to 50 clients and this is so much better for the company and myself

My Experience

Pros:

I really like how easy it is for our clients to use. I also love the fact that the system notifies me when my appointment has arrived.

Cons:

I actually have not found anything I do not like about it. It might be because I only use it for a very specific task.

Excellent system

Comments: We can clearly see who has been in our building and running reports is easy and helpful.

Pros:

The ease of use for the administrators and our customers.

Cons:

Some of the choices in setting up the sign in options don't apply to our company and some I would like to see.

VisitUs anytime !

Comments: We have been able to be more digitalised with using this product

Pros:

Love the fact that it alerts the host of their visitor's arrival Has reporting functionality, has Fire action alerts

Cons:

Slow at printing our badges (probably down to our printer) Unable to print in advance when holding large visitor events

Great Application and Support

Comments: I have had to reach out to support a couple times during the initial setup and Alister was very responsive and helped out a lot.

Pros:

Ease of use Easy to setup Great customer service

Cons:

I would like to see more options for a receptionist-less environment such as ourselves. We've had to implement "No appointment, no visit" workaround with checkboxes and such, which do the job for unwanted visitors/solicitors.

Great System

Pros:

We use this to track visitors to our church and our preschool. works great to print badges, log visits, and notify people of deliveries.

Cons:

We have experienced no cons with the system.

Exactly What We needed

Comments: the support and customer service received from the team at VisitUs is of top quality and very professional. They go out of their way to assist in any way possible.

Pros:

The ease of use and set up is easy for anyone to configure.

Cons:

Nothing, that's why we selected this software over others
