"Top Shelf Cloud Hosted Solution with Outstanding Support - They are a Great Partner"
5/5
What do you like best about Genea Security?

I love working with the employees at Genea Security. They go above and beyond when needed and are a great company to work with. I can reach them almost any time during the day, and they're very responsive, always getting back to me. They're happy to work with me, they think outside the box, and help me solve problems. Really, it's the people of the company that make Genea Security special. I also appreciate the fantastic product that meets my customers' expectations. It makes Convergint look good because it is simple yet very in-depth, covering all bases of access control. It has a fantastic end user experience and makes my customers' lives easier, which makes them happy about the system they're using. It is my go to recommendation for customers who are interested in cloud hosted solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Genea Security?

I really wish they had a video management system. I wish they were a single pane of glass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Access Control with Great Flexibility"
5/5
What do you like best about Genea Security?

I really like the ease of use of Genea Security, as it allows us to manage access control throughout our facility with an easy-to-use GUI. The dashboards are great, and the integrations, especially with Azure, are very helpful. The online portal is also a big plus; it enables us to train users quickly to manage many access points. I also appreciate the mobile credential feature they added, as it is awesome. The initial setup was super easy, which made the whole process smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible Integrations and Fast, Always-Available Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Genea Security?

Genea is constantly integrating new platforms and third-party tools into their system. They also utilize the OpenAPI, which allows you to build your own integrations as needed. Additionally, they always have a support chat available, with a support engineer just minutes away whenever you need help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Genea Security?

The only thing I can complain about is the new Customer Portal. It’s missing the easy-to-follow indications of what is being/has been released and when, and instead everything is just grouped together in one pile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to control the mobile access from start to finish sitting at my computer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Genea Security?

The software design is not user friendly when setting up holidays, I always make mistakes and have to contact support to fix my issues. I wish I could understand it better in order to do it myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very intuitive cloud based access control software"
5/5
What do you like best about Genea Security?

The Genea platform makes handling access control systems and events a breeze with their cloud solutions. From basic operating to full on in depth programming, it's all possible within one platform. Genea offers a great variety of hardware components to implement, so as an installer, you are not stuck with just one supplier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Genea Security?

There are some things that can only be achieved outside of the platform, I would love to see these functions also implemented in an optional advanced mode. However, the Genea customer support is always available to help out and replies swiftly. I also miss the option to just print a hardware overview showing all connected hardware, like panels, doors, readers, inputs and outputs. Currently this has to be done for each category separately.

Response from Melissa Hudlow of Genea Security

"easy to use platform"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Genea Security?

It's easy to use and navigate. I am a local admin, so for my purposes of adding/removing people, it has been a short learning curve. I appreciate that I can log in to it from anywhere to address urgent needs that come up too. Its easy to suspend a card if needed. I appreciate the process to add templated badge layouts and being able to have multiple versions; this is not something we had before, and it helps.

I like the idea of integration with our IT systems, but we aren't there yet as an organization to have that implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Genea Security?

There is not "add a new user" on the homepage/dashboard. When I first log in, that is the page it takes me to, and I have to click a couple of times before getting to add a new user. This is a frequent task I complete, and this on the homepage would be convenient. Obviously, not the end of the world either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Melissa Hudlow of Genea Security

Hello Nicole,

Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the ability to use multiple badge templates, and make updates remotely—it’s great to know those features are making things easier for you.

Regarding your suggestion to add a new user from the home page without too many clicks, we have a widget to add users from the global overview that may help! Our team is happy to walk you through how it works. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback—it helps us continue to improve!
