Enhanced responsiveness in our AI-based security cameras **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Louis R. | Treasury Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 11, 2024 **What do you like best about Barbara?** Barbara ensured that the use and management of models across multiple devices was a fluid process. The real-time process and offline facilities are wonderful for the places where the lower latency is preferable. **What do you dislike about Barbara?** My worry about Barbara is that there are very few advanced data governance instruments.
