The user-friendly interface reduces the learning curve for administrators and saves time in setting up and programming the system.
Remote Access Control: Many reviewers have highlighted the convenience of Brivo's ability to remotely open or lock doors. This feature is especially valuable in emergency situations where quick action is necessary to ensure safety. Users appreciate being able to lockdown everything with just one button, making it easy to manage access control from anywhere.
Cloud-Based Controls: Numerous users have expressed satisfaction with Brivo's cloud-based controls, noting that they are simple to implement and use.

Being able to access and manage the system from any device with an internet connection has been particularly beneficial for users.
Due to the integration with Nexudus, we chose this solution so that we did not have to provide building and coworking access manually to everyone visiting our space. We could not be happier with the Nexudus integration, allowing us just create the rules and focus on our core business. We are also a real estate owner/operator and have historically managed our building access in a traditional way with physical keys or a local access control system. Due to our positive experience through the coworking space, we decided to update two of our larger buildings with Brivo, and it has been great. We no longer have to run over to assist locked-out people; we can now open the doors remotely. It also helps us manage users easily as well as offer access via PIN, prox cards or fobs, and mobile passes. Initially, we rolled this out for building, elevator, and stair access, but now tenants are asking us to provide this for their spaces.
Pros
Brivo works great as a stand-alone cloud-based access control management system for commercial real estate.
Brivo has great integrations, especially with Nexudus, so that access can be provided automatically as customers and members require access.
Brivo has responsive customer support.
Brivo integrates with Eagle Eye for security surveillance.
Cons
Brivo is currently upgrading its UI and there have been some minor hiccups.
Likelihood to Recommend
Brivo is a great cloud-based access control system. It is exactly what you want in this type of platform: solid, reliable, straightforward, and easy to use. We were in the process of rolling out a coworking space and initially became interested in Brivo due to its integration with Nexudus. Upon learning more about Brivo, we realized it was incredibly stable and scalable and decided to deploy it in two of our larger commercial office buildings.
We use Brivo daily for building access, security, and property monitoring. Our facility is located in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz and we have a need to secure the facility after standard business hours, yet we still need to provide 24-hour access to our tenants. We maintain two unique facilities one being an office building above a public market that includes both building and elevator access and the other being a trash district servicing five buildings in the downtown area.
Pros
Tracking who is coming and going and at what time.
Video monitoring capabilities.
Intuitive software for trouble shooting or programming schedules.
Generating usage reports.
Cons
I'm happy as is, Brivo serves my organizations needs.
Likelihood to Recommend
We maintain a trash district for five buildings and we have recently undergone a trash audit with the city of Santa Cruz and an independent auditor to accurately bill the tenants of the district by type of business and usage. Brivo has been instrumental in providing access reports and video event capture to assist in tenant usage as well as identifying the type of refuge each tenant is disposing of. The system is easily set up to allow limited access to outside users for projects like this. The ability to run reports at any given time and by select dates has been a useful tool.
