## Kastle Reviews
  ### 1. Excellent partner in physical security management

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jung K. | CISO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2025

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

The best part is the reports I get from Kastle systems.  They understand, not only security requirements, compliance requirements (reports and evidence collections) that our company deals with.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

Nothing I can think of.  They haven't disappointed us in any way.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I had some SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements with reporting and evidence collection.  When I sent an email requesting a monthly report, they understood exactly what I was looking for and started providing.  That saves me so much time conducting both internal audits and external audits.

  ### 2. On time and they do a great job for any repairs that are needed

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2025

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

The knowledge they have for the product they put out

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

The cost is a little high, could be lower

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cards not working correctly, card readers stop working

  ### 3. Video Surveillance

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2025

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

Responsiveness and accuracy. Prompt reporting.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

Not much in terms of service. Solar power has been a bit touch and go.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Has helped secure the site when not in use

  ### 4. Generally good

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

Your regular technician who comes to our site is very good.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

We have not been pleased in the past with the response of issues we have had with our panic button and doors locking randomly on our 5th floor with no cause found. The response and remedies were not satisfactory, quickly given/addressed nor followed through. In the instance of the doors randomly locking up we were told to unplug the communications boxes on the floor and replug them in, if it should ever happen again. Further, nothing could be done about the panic button, so we were left without a functioning panic button.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

You're our door security for our building and office space.

  ### 5. Kastle is an essential, technology-driven partner for commercial real estate professionals.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

Kastle's technology-forward approach is its greatest strength. Compared to its competitors, Kastle always seems to have the latest features available, and those features are branded and packaged in a way that is digestible to commercial property owners and operators. Kastle Presence is a great example of this. Just as tenants began clamoring for the option of Bluetooth functionality for building access, Kastle started rolling out Kastle Presence, and later (I believe) AppleWallet functionliaty as well. When it comes to leasing and tenant retention, particularly in the Class A and Trophy office market, being able to showcase the latest technology all over the property and across the tenant experience is essential. Access control and security is a vital and highly visible piece of that technology-forward effort, and Kastle has proved to be a reliable, high-value partner in this area.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

MyKastle can be challenging to use, even for an experienced end-user. Regardless of device or connection, MyKastle is often sluggish or slow to respond. It can make even simple tasks such as programming a new card difficult and slightly frustrating, particularly when a tenant is standing in front of you waiting for that new card. In the event of an emergency where, for example, a quick building lockdown is required, MyKastle could very easily become a bottleneck. Second, I've noticed that Kastle can be lacking when it comes to mainting tight records of devices and equipment. In my case, I manage a property that has a "base building" Kastle account that is controlled by my office, along with many tenant accounts where tenants also use Kastle devices in their own space. Despite several attempts and in-person walk-throughs with Kastle, I've struggled to get 100% clarity on which devices are billed to tenants and which devices are billable to me. It seems that Kastle could have better processes in place when it comes to labeling devices, relabeling them when changes are made (i.e. tenant move-ins or move-outs), and keeping the billable items clear on each Kastle account. Lastly, Kastle is expensive compared to competitors. In my experience, competitors always have lower bids for identical scopes of services. Even if the manager and tenants prefer Kastle's product, the higher costs can be difficult to justify to ownership or to other financial decisionmakers.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The property I manage is in a busy, high-profile, downtown location, so Kastle assists us greatly with managing physical security and access. All of our perimeter doors are Kastle-controlled, so we can manage locking/unlocking schedules, along with individual access for our tenants, building staff, and routine vendors. Additionally, we have Kastle video surveillance in many locations across the property. KastleVideo helps us monitor the property on a routine basis, and also collect footage in the event of incidents that may occur. KastleVideo can be helpful in documenting incidents such as property damage or accidental injuries.

  ### 6. Easy to Use & Recurring Automatic Reports are Awesome

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2025

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

The ease of enabling/disabling access to new users and modifying their access, including sensitivity of readers.

As part of our annual ISO certification process I've had auditors stop me at "we're using Kastle" based on their prior experience with the product.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

It's a little nit-picky, but needing to replace readers to enable NFC on wearable devices is a little disappointing.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In the post pandemic world of reduced employee and visitor foot traffic it allows me to leave the front desk unmanned. We did briefly use it for visitor management, but again, in the post pandemic environment we've stopped using that feature.

  ### 7. Safe and Secure

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2025

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

I like Kastle's ease of scheduling and reporting. If I run into an issue with scheduling, support is always on it!

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

I can't find an option for email notification when someone checks in. Is that possible for reader activity?

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Glad to know that I don't have to worry about locking up!

  ### 8. Their people make the difference

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Melissa G. | Business Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

Brian Walts.  He is the best part about Kastle.  When I have a problem.  He is ALWAYS part of the solution.  I understand that there are many people that make up an organization-and that Kastle is large as an organization.  But at the end of the day-when I am in need of assistance, there is one person that stands out from the rest and that is Brian.  He takes customer service and positive relations to entirely new level.  You are lucky to have him as an employee.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

My issues stem more from the type of door I have onsite, then the Kastle access itself.  I occasionally have issues getting back online after our property loses power in storms, but I always have a contact to call to assist in getting me back online.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Resident Access only to clubhouse and Video surveillance of our clubhouse area.

  ### 9. Good product, easy set up by staff!

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

It was simple to set up when we ordered it and didn't take long to get employees set up.

There's been a few hiccups where the scanner does not detect the card reader and we had trouble opening the door.

To keep our staff protected during work hours and closed office hours.

  ### 10. too pesty with calls and sometimes slow with service

I like the fob system. I  like Jack my service agent

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

They should reset access door system before continually calling. They take a long time to get parts for camera issues.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I get to see who is in the building and also know if anyone is breaking in the building.

  ### 11. Kastle Security system

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

I love that it has an app that allows you to use your phone to gain access to the facility.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

Using the app on the phone depending on your settings can also trigger/activate the alarm in passing on accident.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With our old system we used keys to access the building and the lock used to get striped alot due to pulling on the key instead of turning the handle.  I was having to call a locksmith pretty frequently and now with Kastle that is no longer an issue. It also provides great security.

  ### 12. great product,  great service, easy to use.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

Most helpful about Kastle is knowing that you're using a trusted security system that is user-friendly, no matter what the size of your business is.  It's a security system that can be used every day and can be integrated with other security systems, if needed, making it easy to implement.

**Reviewed by:** Robbie D. | Office Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2024

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

The alerts are timely as you will receive a call right away and if they miss you they are diligent to call until you are reached no matter the hour or day.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

Sometimes the calls are sent so quickly that the alarm clears before we are finished on the phone.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having the monitor 24/7 keeps me from having to come back into the office after hours or having to call security to check the doors.  It is so much better than our old ADT system that relied on me to physically be there to disarm the alarms.

I like that our rep is fantastic at making sure our concerns or issues are resolved quickly

  ### 41. User Friendly System excellent support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christine E. | Director of Real Estate & Facility Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2024

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

We have been using Kastle Systems since 2018 both card access and camera's. We were looking for an enterprise solution that we could install in many of our office locations. After reviewing a few different system we chose Kastle and have enjoyed the ease of use of the system, being able to use one credential and numerous locations, and being able to be the administrator for all our sites with just a simple access to the program. There are other features of Kastle we also utilize to make our jobs easier. Since we started using their system they made a few enhancements that have been very helpful including their visitor system and being able to create a temp calendar schedule to have the doors unlocked if there is a special access event that needs to have the doors opened. That has been very helpful especially on time zone differences. Antoher great feature we utilize is the bluetooth access readers. I have a few sites we did not even issue fobs they use their phone app exclusively.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

Sometimes it takes a while to have they system installed and will just need to plan ahead with plenty of time for an installation. There have been a few projects that it takes time to figure out who your assigned project manager may be and like anything else there are stronger folks in the roles and some not so much. I had one frustrating project that the project manager changed 3 times due to support issues at a project level.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our primary goal was to use the same system at multiple office locations and be in control of the system which this platform solved that problem with one sign on for administrative access, being able to access all my sites using one system and having one credential to access a few various office locations. The additional feature they added a few years ago which allows us to add a temp schedule to a door has been extremely helpful for contractor or vendor planned access visits. I work remotely so being able to control the system for various locations has been very helpful. 

We also utilize the video system which has come in handy for review events that affected our business or staff personnel.

  ### 42. Awesome All-In-One

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicole  J. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

I like that Kastle is an all-in-one security, attendance, and personnel records system that allows user's to customize their exprience and what they see.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

I dislike that physical equipment upgrades are required to use Kastle's newer product. For example, Kastle now has Apple+ and keycard are available on iphones; however, he building's existing card readers are not compatible. In order for my firm to utilize this feature, our landlord would have to replace the existing card readers.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kastle benefits us by allowing us to track and monitor attendance, as well as manage and monitor visitors.  In our current world of Covid-19, Kastle is/would be a key component in contact tracing.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ray G. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2024

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

It is hard to say what I like best about Kastle becaus the overall service has been great.  If I have to pick two is it would be their Kastle Presence feature and their Customer Service.  Both of these has made my job easier as the Operations Manager for my organization.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

Currently I don't have any dislike about Kastle.  Something that is out of Kastle's responsibility is the inability to have Kastle Presence throughout the building where our office is currently located.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problems that Kastle is solving is the security of the space and visitors to the our office.  The benefit of using Kastle for security is the customers service and alerts that Kastle provides whenever a door is ajar too long, or when a door is forced open.  The benefit of using Kastle for visitors is the customer service provided by having building security use the system to manage visitor to the building and our space.

**Official Response from Team Kastle:**

> Thank you for your positive feedback. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the KastlePresence app and that you're receiving outstanding customer service. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide excellent service to you and your team.

  ### 48. A Reliable Partner for Your Security Needs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Oljana B. | TSC, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Kastle?**

Two years ago, we enlisted Kastle as our security access provider, and I must express my utmost satisfaction. Their customer service, particularly the assistance provided by KAROLL, deserves special mention. KAROLL has proven invaluable in managing day-to-day operations, setting up new tenants, and resolving any access card issues that arise.

**What do you dislike about Kastle?**

Unfortunately, my experience with the invoicing handling of Kastle has left much to be desired. Firstly, the invoicing process itself has been plagued with inconsistencies and errors. From incorrect billing amounts to missing details, each invoice seems to present a new challenge.

**What problems is Kastle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Access Profile Permissions Renaming. Invoicing issues.
