Overall Satisfaction with Lobby Track
We're a school. We use Lobby Track for issuing visitor badges and also to issue tardy passes for students who arrive late. Lastly, we have students who leave early check out. The killer feature is the ability to send an email to parents when their student checks in or out (many times as expected but sometimes unexpectedly).
- Easy to maintain the database.
- Works well with touchscreen computer monitor.
- Associated dymo label printer has been very reliable.
- Scheduled reports (instead of run on demand).
- Published API and/or an automated way of loading data to the database (it's not difficult but could be automated).
- Updating layout of printed labels is not very intuitive (but we only have to do it rarely).
- Unattended kiosk operation.
- Reporting (better if schedulable).
- Email notification to parents of check-in or out.
- We used to have to issue hand-written tardy passes and these are now machine-generated.
- Reports of when students are tardy are easy to run.
- Logging/tracking of visitors is much easier than in the past.
A vendor who we purchased other services from initially recommended Lobby Track when they learned we didn't have an automated system. We still use Lobby Track but no longer work with that vendor. In the 8 years since we started with Lobby Track, we have looked at other systems but none have the automated email notification features (even systems purportedly targeted at schools) and that's a killer feature for us.
