An extremely easy-to-use tool that offers great stability
Nothing stands out to me in the product where I feel that a certain aspect or area needs to be fixed. It seems like a pretty solid product right now. Edge recording works just fine on the product. In the product, pulling the video is fine as long as you have enough bandwidth. The product doesn't currently allow users to change the resolution and frame rates of the cameras. From an improvement perspective, the product should allow users to change the resolution and frame rates of the cameras. In the portal, you can't change the resolution and frame rates of the cameras, though I believe you can go into the camera and change it. I don't understand the use of providing a solution to users as a cloud-based product without an option to make changes. If the product offers an on-premise version, then a lot of money can be saved since you can save a lot on maintenance. Products, like Avigilon Alta Aware, are server-based hardware, so you don't have to worry about having to update or worry about the software part or about Windows updates. If the server goes down, then you might get stuck because the product does not do the recording, but there is nothing to worry about since 50 TB of space might be available, which can easily cost you 15,000 USD, making it very expensive.

The previous versions of Haivision Media Platform were a bit more cumbersome since we have been working with it for more than four years. Currently, Haivision Media Platform is much more updated, much better, and more intuitive with many quite technical options. Haivision Media Platform is very technical and gives very technical parameters that others do not give. It provides a good way to optimize and give good parameters to use. I like Haivision Media Platform because the software manages to use resources effectively according to the actual quality it is giving me. On the technical side, I would like Haivision Media Platform equipment to be a bit more robust. On many of my devices, I have 100 Mbps ports, but I would like them to have 1000 Mbps ports. I would like them to have more capacity because a 100 Mbps port makes me very limited. Regarding Haivision Media Platform improvements, I would like software updates for problem resolution or bug fixes to be more frequent. In the documentation on the website, I would want to have a faster and more accurate way to resolve failures since it becomes cumbersome having to create an account, register, and ask support and have them answer a question that could already be included directly in the documentation to improve and make technical support much faster. An additional improvement necessary for Haivision Media Platform would be for the gateways to add more protocols and improve IGMP, as I have had issues with IGMP for receiving some types of signals, such as UDP. They are a bit finicky for some versions, and I would like it to open up more to additional network protocols like NDI, protocols that are not being accepted so far.
