74 Evolv Testimonials

"For all three of our houses, we often see a push of almost 1,000 patrons during this 15-minute window. With the magnetometers and hand-held wands, this produced a lot of anxiety for security staff. But with the Express systems, no ingress queues form as patrons are able to walk through the screening lanes side by side."

“When some of our patients or visitors to come our Emergency Departments, they may be having the worst day of their life. People’s emotions run high. People do stupid things. Evolv helps us prevent bad things from happening.”

"When you go through the Express systems, you don’t know it. It’s quick, it’s clean, it’s unobtrusive. There’s no emptying of bags and pockets. Guests can enjoy our beautiful campus and experience it without standing in long lines and going through an invasive security check.”

"We are committed to fostering a learning environment where our students feel safe and respected. We proactively pursued the GiveEvolv program on the premise that it would serve as a key enabler of this mission."

"The training of our security staff went quite smoothly. The Evolv team trained us before the students started arriving, and they worked alongside us during the screening process.”

“We had lines of people who showed up before we opened our gates. I overheard one person telling her friends, ‘We’re never going to get our seats. Even if they open up right now, we’re still not going to make it.’ The gates opened and the lines started to move. Ten minutes later, when I was in the lobby, the same woman and her friends passed through security. She came over to me and told me, ‘ I’m very impressed with how you handled this huge crowd.’ I had to smile to myself. As we had Evolv, I knew that we were going to make it work.”

"It is really easy to teach our security officers how to use the Express systems. It is actually easier than teaching them how to use hand wands.”

“Whether they want to or not, people have to fly, but they don’t have to go to a sporting or entertainment venue. They can watch on TV or download music onto smart phones. So we need to protect our guests, while also making venues a fun place to be.”

"Evolv is a local company and is well-known in the industry. We decided to take a look at Evolv, and we discovered that their platform delivers a tremendous guest experience, while maintaining a great security posture.”

"I was just blown away with the screening volume we were able to achieve. In a manner of 45 minutes, we processed around 18,000 concertgoers through ticketing and security screening.”

“We open our gates 60 minutes before most matches and events. We might open 90 minutes ahead of a few special events. That said, the reality is the majority of fans and guests arrive in the last 15 minutes. We get maybe 15% to 25% of them in the first 45 minutes, and the remainder in a rush right before the match or event begins. We needed a technology that would scale to handle the influx we got at this last minute without sacrificing our security.”

"We want our fans to have a great time when they come here. This is one of the reasons we love Evolv—which makes security screening easy and fast without sacrificing security. It is not intrusive like the metal detectors.”

"Evolv is where safety meets experience. You don’t need to compromise one for the other. Evolv enables us to create a special dynamic that facilitates both.”

“When we evaluated different options, we kept coming back to the fact that Evolv is used at some of the largest sports stadiums and most prestigious performing arts centers in the country. If it keeps their environments safe and scales to handle the volumes of guests they experience, then it is good enough for us.”

“We adhere to the Illinois protocol that bans handguns in public buildings. But we never found any since we never checked anyone. Other theaters in the Chicago area had implemented Evolv Express systems and our executive management team had visited those sites and seen the Express in action. Our General Manager had also seen the Express system at a local sports stadium and was impressed with the seamless approach to security screening.”
