Our team deployed Milestone XProject in a manufacturing facility to monitor production area, warehouses and office security. Milestone XProject is a scalable and high resolution video management system that could integrate with other existing security infrastructure. Once it is configured, it's dashboard made it easy for security personal to view multiple camera feeds, replay footage and access analytics very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We faced a challenge with the camera network bandwidth optimisation. Milestone's customer support provided in-depth guidance on adjusting streaming settings to balance quality and usage, which resolved our issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing caused us problem in our working. It comes with lots of feature so it has a bit of learning curve other than that its a great platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One minor point is that there is a bit of a learning curve to fully utilize all of the advanced features and minor buggy functionality make it slight to use. But with this tool we find no issue in our working time although customizations can be made more easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, storage, cameras, functionality all there in the Management Client.
Easy to add users, AD groups to Roles and these Roles is easy to devout specific cameras to each individual Role.
Support is outstanding as well, we have a Premium service account though which may sway support for our company I suspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If your system has many cameras (150 or more) finding it is difficult thru the Servers-->Recording Servers--> Recording Server Name
And using that Floating Filter above the Recording Server is painful as it is movable and after initializing will not return back to default unless reverting to "Reset Application Layout" then closing and reopening the Management Client.
Also I used to use the Management Client "System Monitor" to view which cameras are using the most disk space... Now after viewing it I cannot double click "Used Space" and have it auto sort by the lowest or even the highest metrics. I have to export it to an Excel spreadsheet to do that.

Milestone software has become our favorite security management tool which we get so comfortable on using it due to its modern yet lightweight on our medium spec devices without causing crash or something which is our favourite thing. I like its straight forward analytics and customization features for creating combinations of devices for our different zones in company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For security point of view i see no issue whatsover in my experience. Although i like to see improvements in analytics part which can be made better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The stability, the overall great user-experience, and how easy it is to update and keep a check on all the equpiment being used in the surveillance system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've been using it since 2016, and we have no cons, only pros. A great product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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!

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.
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.

From my experience i find Milestone very very comfortable and reliable to use for our company security system. I never faced any data loss in my working ever and its ai & analytics is just best. I had totally good experience between usability and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have nothing to complaint about in my personal experience and have talked with team they dont have any issue either in current working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
