Onguard's Client app is bit slow when you use it remotely and consumes lot of time to process each visitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This has really allowed me to control foot traffic in my building. I can control who has access to what door. I am also able to designate specific leads on my off days to have access to all doors and then the system automatically turns it back to general access during the week. It's very easy to add new employees to the general access list. I like how the doors alarm when they are held open too long as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program on my computer is kind of slow and often closes out. When I'm also searching for a cardholder, it's very slow. And when someone is separated from the company, it's hard for me to deactivate them on the system. It gets clogged with so many names. I would like for them to delete altogether when their vendor numbers are deactivated. It would make it easier to look up the new employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to control Fob readers and doors from the computer. Especially the all lockdown button which offers security to all of our tenants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having to re-up the license every year is quite expensive. Especially since we use an outside entity to service our security needs. It's a crying shame that they update the software every year. So the brand new software you just paid for is outdated before you know it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows us to track footfall through the business and to make arrangements for frequent visitors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be a little long winded for first time visitors/vistitees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can see who is accessing what door just sitting in my office using OnGuard. I can easily create badges, modify badge, deactivate badge even open any doors of the facilities just from sitting in my office. You can easily connect your alarm system and camera system so whenever any alarm goes off the System will automatically pop up the camera of that area and also show you what type of alarm went off. If you select AutoCardHolders option the screen will display the cardholders information such as name, access levels, area where badge was used, department, title, etc. whenever they scan a badge anywhere within the facility which is very useful during emergencies to locate people. OnGuard can also be used to track employees incoming and outgoing time. If Antipassback is activated it can stop unauthorized access as there will be no piggybacking. You can give specific access to specific individuals which is very helpful for Defense Contractors who have classified items or proprietary information in labs or closed areas.

The one thing to dislike the most about it is that the software itself is very expensive. Also you need to buy license separately if you want to use it on another computer. The badges are expensive as well. Besides that it is a great software for any organization who wants access control and stop risk of espionage or unauthorized access into certain areas.
