“Fees increased without visible improvement”
Pros
Overall, the system does its job well.
Cons
Using the phone app is frustrating because it's not very user friendly and making schedule changes on mobile is especially difficult. In my small business, I paid $1200 for a new control board just two months ago and then this month my monthly fees went up by 30%. It feels like a predatory way of doing business to require an expensive upgrade to keep the service running and then raise the monthly cost by that much right after. The size of the increase is outrageous and the explanation they gave was just a weak cliche: "Brivo informs us the increase is a result of its ongoing work to improve its suite of services." I definitely have not seen anything close to a 30% improvement in service. When I raised the issue with customer support online, all I got was a lousy "we apologize for the inconvenience," which basically came across as, "sorry sucker."

“The system never crashed since install”
Pros
Back when we opened our gym in 2015, we started using Brivo Access and it turned out to be incredibly dependable. The system consistently worked without any glitches and our members were always able to get in without issues. The reporting was also simple to handle.
Cons
Because we operated a 24/7 gym, we had to connect a lot of different systems and Brivo was one of the platforms that needed to sync with our gym software. That naturally brought extra integration costs which we were trying to avoid. I also ended up having to manage and troubleshoot two separate software systems regularly. Still, Brivo Access itself was affordable and excellent but the real frustration came from the other software provider that kept adding extra charges.

Being able to unlock nearby doors right from my phone is the biggest advantage of Brivo especially since I don't have to dig around for keys anymore.
Cons
In some instances, the app is a bit slow when first opening it.
