When selecting a property management system (PMS), your hotel needs a solution that streamlines operations, enhances guest experiences, and supports growth. Assa Abloy and HotelSync aim to serve this purpose, but they diverge significantly in features, user reviews, and market presence. Assa Abloy’s lack of recent reviews and zero-rated user experience make it a questionable choice, while HotelSync’s extensive, high-quality reviews and rich feature set position it as the more reliable option.
Are you willing to invest in a system with no recent performance data or one that’s proven to satisfy users worldwide?
Assa Abloy, historically, has been a major name in security and access solutions, but it offers a property management system with no recent reviews and an overall 0/5 star rating. Its lack of user feedback over the past six months makes it impossible to gauge its current performance or customer satisfaction.
HotelSync, on the other hand, has accumulated 75 reviews in the last six months alone, with an impressive 81.59 HTR Score and a perfect 5/5 overall rating. Recent reviews praise its simplicity, feature-rich interface, and excellent support, indicating active, positive engagement from users.
Despite Assa Abloy’s brand presence, the data indicates its product isn’t actively used or appreciated by hoteliers today. So, which system truly supports your hotel’s operational needs now?
If your hotel needs a modern, user-friendly PMS with a proven track record, go with HotelSync. Its extensive feature set, including channel management, booking engine, mobile app, and revenue management, addresses the core needs of contemporary hoteliers.
If, however, your hotel is seeking a solution backed by a well-known brand with a focus on security or access management, Assa Abloy might seem appealing, but its lack of recent reviews and features suggest it’s not actively supporting hotels today. For most hoteliers, HotelSync offers a safer, more comprehensive choice.
HotelSync scores a perfect 5/5 in ease of use, with reviews highlighting its simple, intuitive interface and quick onboarding process. Users mention how the system’s design allows even non-technical staff to adapt rapidly, minimizing training time.
Assa Abloy, by contrast, has a 0/5 usability rating and no recent reviews to indicate its current user experience or onboarding process. Its absence of recent feedback suggests it’s either inactive or lacks user-friendly features.
Edge: HotelSync.
HotelSync boasts 54 features, including a channel manager, booking engine, integrated CRM, revenue management, online check-in, and a guest app. Many features common in hotel PMS — like automation, real-time reporting, and centralized management — are fully integrated, with ongoing updates based on recent user feedback.
Assa Abloy offers no features and no recent updates, making its feature set irrelevant in today’s hotel management landscape.
Edge: HotelSync.
HotelSync has a near-perfect customer support rating of 4.98/5, with recent reviews praising its fast, friendly, and effective service. Users appreciate the personalized onboarding, quick responses, and ongoing support, which contribute to smooth system adoption.
Assa Abloy has no recent reviews or scores, so it’s impossible to assess the quality or availability of its support currently.
Edge: HotelSync.
HotelSync integrates with 11 verified partners, including Channel Managers, payment processors, and booking platforms like Stripe, SiteMinder, and PriceLabs. Its open ecosystem enables hotels to expand functionality easily, supporting diverse operational needs.
Assa Abloy offers only one verified integration (Yanolja). Without additional integrations, it limits your hotel’s ability to connect with other systems or expand capabilities.
Edge: HotelSync.
HotelSync’s recent reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with a 9.99/10 NPS score, and praises from various property types like boutique hotels, city center hotels, and resorts. Property managers emphasize how the system simplifies operations and improves guest satisfaction.
Assa Abloy has no recent reviews, and its overall rating is 0/5, indicating no current user feedback or satisfaction data.
Edge: HotelSync.
Assa Abloy’s pricing is not publicly available or transparent, and it appears to lack a trial or straightforward subscription model. Its pricing structure is unclear, making it difficult for hotels to evaluate ROI.
HotelSync charges a flat $700 monthly fee, with no hidden costs or implementation fees. Its transparent pricing aligns with its accessible, feature-rich platform.
Not ideal if you want a modern, easy-to-use PMS with active support and frequent updates.
Not ideal if your hotel operates in a niche sector requiring niche or highly specialized software outside standard PMS features.
The key difference is that HotelSync is a modern, actively supported PMS with a proven track record of positive reviews, a large feature set, and integration capabilities. Assa Abloy, lacking recent updates, reviews, or features, is unlikely to meet the demands of today’s hotel management.
If your hotel needs a reliable, feature-rich platform with ongoing support, choose HotelSync. Its recent reviews and high ratings confirm it’s a trusted partner for hotels of various sizes seeking operational efficiency and growth.
However, if your hotel is primarily interested in security or access hardware and already has a different management system, Assa Abloy might be relevant. For most properties, HotelSync offers the comprehensive solution you need now.

| Criteria Group | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Ratings & Reviews |
|
How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor. Analyzes average satisfaction ratings (likelihood to recommend, ease of use, support, ROI), total review count relative to category peers, review recency (at least 20 reviews in the trailing 6 months), and share of voice across unique hotel clients to detect selection bias. |
| Partner Ecosystem |
|
How highly do tech partners recommend this company? Partner Recommendations, Integration Quantity, Integration Quality ▾ Evaluates partner recommendations as expert votes of confidence, the number of verified integrations, and ecosystem quality — the average HT Scores of integration partners. Products with higher-quality integration ecosystems are more likely to deliver a connected tech stack. |
| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization? Certified Support, Review Consistency, Profile Completeness ▾ Assesses whether the company has earned HTR Customer Support Certification, maintains consistent review collection over time (an indicator of feedback-driven culture), and keeps product profiles complete with capabilities, screenshots, pricing, and features. |
| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing? Geographic Reach, Staying Power, Company Resources, Trending Score ▾ Measures global presence (countries and regions served), years in business as a stability proxy, team headcount as a resource proxy, and a trending score based on trailing-twelve-month buyer inquiries, reviews, partner recommendations, and press activity. |
Customer ratings and reviews are by far the most important factor in the HT Score algorithm. HTR does not accept payment for higher rankings. All reviews are verified — only hotel industry practitioners with confirmed affiliations can submit ratings. View full HT Score methodology →
