"Fantastic Security Solution – Highly Recommended!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about XProtect?

We've been using Milestone 24/7, and it has exceeded all my expectations! The applicatie provides a seamless, user-friendly experience while offering powerful and comprehensive security features. The camera integration is flawless, and I can easily monitor multiple locations in real-time from anywhere.

One of the standout features for me is the customizable notifications. I receive instant alerts whenever there’s unusual activity, which gives me peace of mind. The video quality is top-notch, and the ability to playback recorded footage is incredibly intuitive. I also appreciate how smoothly it operates across different devices, including both desktop and mobile platforms.

Milestone’s security is second to none, offering robust encryption and reliable data protection, so I never have to worry about privacy breaches. The app's performance has been consistently smooth with no downtime, and the customer support team is responsive and helpful whenever needed.

Overall, Milestone is a fantastic, professional-grade solution for anyone serious about security. Highly recommended for both home and business use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XProtect?

One minor point is that there is a bit of a learning curve to fully utilize all of the advanced features. While the basics are easy to grasp, it took me some time to get familiar with the more sophisticated settings and options. However, once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are impressive!

"Preferred camera system after being an integrating for years and now end users with +3500 cameras"
5/5
What do you like best about XProtect?

It's robust but easy to navigate, it has a plethora or permissions to create a very complex system segmented over a large organization by department. Almost anything can be done with Rules if you take the time to figure it out. I worked as an integrator for years installing Genetec, Milestone, Avigilon, Lenel video, etc, and as am end user now I still stick with Milestone for the forseeable future. I used Milestone every single day, full-time at work and running my home security system at home. Customer service is always available and eager to remote in and dive into whatever issue we may be having. Implementation is not too bad compared to some other camera or access control system, everything can be ran from one server if the system is small or the computer is robust enough. It's an open platform so is compatible with almost everything under the sun, integration into Lenel is not only supported but encourage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XProtect?

Downsides minor in my opinion, there are a few things I wish were available, such as a feature similar to "area access manager" in say Lenel that would allow a department to add user to their view groups but only their view groups. There are some features that would be easy to implement that I believe may be held out of updates because they are offered by a paid third party service (Boring Labs). There needs to be a way to easily run a report showing your cameras and how much storage they are consuming, features like that are heavily used as selling points for Boring Labs but realistically could just be included in Milestone. The view creation in Smart Client is fine, but customization is limited more than some competitors. Smart Wall is an option, but moving a major system from Avigilon to Milestone really highlighted the low variation in preset Milestone views compared to what was in place previously.

"Service excellence"
5/5
What do you like best about XProtect?

The knowledge base - it helps us a lot during trouble shooting.

Effiency when raising a case on the portal dashboard.

System smooth operation and integrity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XProtect?

The management client may require some upgrades mostly in the configuration reports.

for example: cannot extract cameras per server

Roles are very difficult to explain/understand - lots of pages are extracted.

If I need to send a report who has access to playback or export, the report is infinite without the

possibility to filter in excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're pleased to hear that our system's smooth operation and integrity are benefiting your organization. We will take your feedback on the Management Client configuration reports into account for future enhancements.
