Pros
- Great Theft Policy
- Mobile Security App
- Business-Specific Security
Great Theft Policy
While there are some home security companies that offer a form of theft protection or compensation to their customers, few offer as aggressive a theft policy as Sonitrol.
In the event that your home or place of business is broken into while Sonitrol's system is in operation, Sonitrol's service warranty will pay for, replace, or repair any damage or covered items affected in a forcible entry. The few companies that offer similar warranties will only pay up to $1,000, and that towards your home insurance deductible.
Mobile Security App
Sonitrol provides users with a free mobile app that allows them to monitor and control their security system remotely.
Through the mobile app, users can view live videos, arm/disarm their security systems, view historical events, manage system users, cards, and codes, and easily browse a map of their facilities. Sonitrol's system can also be adapted across a wide variety of industries, and both corporate and residential clients alike will receive a custom-made security system to fit their needs.
Business-Specific Security
Sonitrol does not provide home security services as its security solutions are designed specifically for businesses, schools, and other larger organizations. The company offers fire detection, security officer support, alarm monitoring and intrusion detection, video surveillance, verified audio and video, and complete network protection.
Cons
- Lacks Features
- Lacks Equipment List
- Does Not Provide Home Security
Lacks Features
Sonitrol is lacking a number of features that would otherwise help it compete with top companies, most notably home automation. Several home security companies are providing home automation solutions in addition to security, including climate, lighting, locks, and appliance control. Sonitrol also provides little useful information on its website.
Lacks Equipment List
Customers investigating Sonitrol will have no clue as to what equipment is specifically offered, the terms and exclusions of Sonitrol's impressive $10,000 guarantee, and pricing information.
Does Not Provide Home Security
Most companies that provide integrated security solutions usually include both home and business security in their services. However, Sonitrol only provides business security. Customers who are looking for home security should view the best home security companies.
Our Recommendation
Sonitrol's $10,000 service guarantee and ability to adapt its systems to a number of industries are definite advantages that set Sonitrol apart from other comparable security companies.
However, Sonitrol offers next to no useful information on its website that would help customers make an informed decision. The company also charges considerably more each month and upfront for services that don't even include home automation options.
Customers looking to invest in a comprehensive home security solution should consider other companies before deciding on Sonitrol.
