74 Evolv Testimonials

“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.”

"This is truly the most innovative technology that I’ve seen in my 20 years of experience in the industry. What makes me so proud is that Mercedes-Benz Stadium was the first NFL stadium to utilize Evolv and prove its benefits."

“We were in the security ingress area when the National Anthem played. Normally with manual screening, we would still have lines of fans trying to get into the park. But when I looked up after the National Anthem was finished, there were no lines. I knew then that we had made the right decision.”

"Evolv empowers us to focus on both our fans’ experience and their security. With the help of Evolv, we’re constantly learning and improving how to give our fans a great ingress experience while keeping them as safe and secure as possible.”

“Before the Bridgestone Arena opened, people never came down to this area."

“We have a variety of fans and patrons who come into the arena. When they come to the arena, they expect to have fun and do not want to wait in lines to get into the building, whether it’s families or season ticket holders for the Predators. At the same time, they also expect the environment to be safe.”

“With metal detectors, we could have one person walk through ingress every 15 seconds, and if they have nothing in their pockets or bag or on their body—which was fewer than half—they could pass into the arena. For just one person, once they went through the secondary screening check, you were looking at 90 seconds.”

“That assessment pointed us to the need for a solution that would screen people upon ingress without impeding their entry."

"Since deploying Evolv, the number of metal objects that we’ve detected run into the tens of thousands. We were almost in shock at the number of weapons we found. It was the equivalent of having a Damocles sword hanging over our heads but most of us were unaware of how large the threat was.”

“Workplace violence has become a growing concern over the past decade. During and after the pandemic, we saw a heightening of people’s emotions. Isolation during the pandemic negatively impacted people’s behavior and conduct. Unfortunately, this translated into a rise in violence towards hospital staff.”

“The entire deployment process was outstanding. It was amazing to see the equipment arrive on site and then go through the training process with the Evolv and Convergint teams.”

“Evolv plays a huge role in helping us to feel more comfortable and confident at work, knowing there is a reduced chance we will be injured by someone brandishing a weapon. It is absolutely wonderful that we finally have security screening for weapons in our Emergency Departments.”

“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.”

“Having Evolv systems in place makes our patients feel safe, and our staff feels safe and able to deliver the care our patients need rather than worrying about their safety. We are very proud to be the first hospital Emergency Department in Canada to implement Evolv.”

“I feel very honored to be part of a hospital that is taking extra steps to protect is staff and patients. In the past, we didn’t know what we would encounter when coming to work. Evolv makes it much easier for us to do so. It helps lift that uncertainty. I absolutely feel safer knowing that every single person that I come in contact with has been screened.”
