What do you like best about Milestone XProtect?

XProtect works well when it is up and running correctly. It allows you to easily see multiple cameras from multiple locations, set up custom views, and easily export video for security needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Milestone XProtect?

The server licensing is expensive (especially for back license costs), and the server tends to struggle when several users are logged in. We had to set a task to reboot the server every night in order to kick everyone out of the system who doesn't log out, otherwise, the video lags and audio/video do not sync correclty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Milestone XProtect:

Either set up some way to log everyone out of the system, or set a task to reboot the server when not in use. If you have several users this will cause latency issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Milestone XProtect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use the system to monitor security cameras and export video for both discipline and occasional police requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licensing.! We must go through a reseller to add licensing to any new cameras into our system. The process typically takes more than a week. Must plan accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
