Thanks, Gabriel! We're glad you're enjoying the system.
Review: Entrance Intercom System
Review for an entrance intercom system for a small building. Overall, it is a mixed bag. Prompt customer service. Dashboard interface works for HOA needs and app easy for all tenants. Much better than other systems we have had. However, sometimes the system just does not work. For no apparent reason. And we don't know about it until a delivery is missed or a friend calls a tenant. Also, we have had to reset the system several times as we lose the internet connection. For now, we are satisfied given our prior experiences.

Failed attempt to re-invent to doorbell.
Butterfly seem to have achieved the amazing feat of re-inventing the wheel so the wheel doesn't turn around.
This system does not fulfil the basic functions of a normal doorbell ie alerting all residents that there is someone at the door.
The company urgently needs to make it possible for one listing to call multiple cellphones simultaneously.
Until it does so, you would be well-advised to avoid this expensive fiasco.

Five Stars
We’ve implemented ButterflyMX across our portfolio of mixed-use properties, and the experience has been excellent. The system is incredibly easy to use and has significantly improved convenience for both residents and vendors. From secure package deliveries to seamless guest access, it’s been a major upgrade to the overall resident experience.
The ButterflyMX team has also been fantastic to work with—responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to supporting our needs throughout the rollout and beyond. I highly recommend ButterflyMX for any property looking to modernize access control and enhance resident satisfaction.

Works intermittently
Works intermittently. Unreliable. For the past week, i have not been able to unlock the door, even though the app says unlocked. Butterfly personnel told me the problem was the building and not their app. I complained to building management, and they tried the system and it worked for them. It also worked for the super. But it did not work for me. The old pushbutton system was always reliable.

Overpriced and misleading ads.
The ads posted online say their products are affordable and easy to install. ButterflyMx is neither. For a small system for a 3,500 sq. ft. warehouse with two exterior doors, one 14 foot overhead door and two windows, I was quoted $3,000 plus $2,000 for install. To get this quote you have to make an appointment to Zoom with a sales rep. Overpriced and not easy yo install.

Butterlfy MX is terrible
Butterlfy MX is nothing but a spy device for landlords. It is TERRIBLE and often fails. The post office can't get in and neither can you when it keeps telling you you have no WiFi. Unlike a normal intercom, it rings one phone so you cant even answer a delivery for your roommate--only their phone rings. The video is nonsense--screen captures are never correct. You can't swipe your phone in winter without taking off gloves and even then it often fails. Very UNSAFE since you have to stand there waving your phone around even before you get near the door, and the door stays open 10 seconds no mater who is following you. No way to contact them with issues either. It is marketed as a landlord spy device. "Do you have illegal tenants...?' Tenants hate it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your frustrations and want to address your concerns. At ButterflyMX, our goal is to make access easier and more secure for everyone, and we take tenant feedback seriously as we continuously improve our products.
We want to clarify a few points to ensure you have the best possible experience:
• Connectivity Issues: The intercom requires a stable internet connection to function properly. If you’re experiencing repeated connectivity problems, checking with your property management team or internet provider might be helpful to ensure the WiFi signal is strong near the entryway.
• One Phone Ringing: We designed the system to prioritize personal privacy by ringing only the phone associated with a particular resident. However, we understand this feature may not work for everyone, and we’re exploring options to enhance flexibility for shared living situations.
• Winter Usability: We recognize the challenge of using smartphones in cold weather. Our system also supports key cards, key fobs, PIN codes, and virtual keys, which can be entered without removing gloves. We'd be happy to assist if you’re encountering issues with these features.
• Security Concerns: Your safety is our top priority. The door timer and access logs are adjustable by property managers, and we encourage you to share your concerns with them directly to ensure the system is optimized for your property.
• Support Accessibility: We apologize if you’ve had difficulty reaching us. While property managers handle most on-site troubleshooting, you can contact our support team by calling (800) 398-4416 or emailing support@butterflymx.com.
Lastly, regarding the claim of being a “spy device,” ButterflyMX is designed with strict privacy policies in place. Any data collected is used solely to enhance functionality and security, and we work hard to ensure transparency and compliance with privacy regulations. Here's a link to our privacy policy with more information: https://butterflymx.com/privacy-policy/
We’re committed to improving our system and your experience. If you’d like to provide more details or work directly with us to address these issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can call us at (800) 398-4416, ext. 3 or email support@butterflymx.com
Thank you again for your feedback.
As a consumer
As a consumer, I like being able to use it for entry to my building. However, people should know that if your building/internet wifi server is down, ButterflyMX will not WORK. This can happen often. In those cases, I always keep my old school keys with me just in case.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you find ButterflyMX convenient for building access. You’re correct that the system relies on a stable internet connection to function, and we understand how frustrating outages can be.
While we aim to provide a reliable and seamless experience, we encourage keeping a backup like traditional keys for peace of mind during internet or power issues. We also recommend letting your property manager know about any persistent internet problems so they can address them.
If you ever need assistance or have additional feedback, feel free to call us at (800) 398-4416, ext. 3, or by emailing support@butterflymx.com. We appreciate your input as we continue improving!

Our building loves ButterflyMX's video intercom
We love our ButterflyMX. We installed their video intercom in a 32-unit apartment building we own and manage in Chelsea, New York City. It provides simple and secure access for our residents and visitors via a mobile app or PIN codes. All calls are sent to a smartphone app, so our residents never miss deliveries or visitors. ButterflyMX has the best reviews and features, and their local representative guided us through the process from inquiry to installation. Their support is excellent and easy to reach. We highly recommend it to other apartment buildings looking to improve property access.
