The question pretty much says it all. I'm curious to hear the differing opinions amongst integrators/ manufacturers/ and distributors.

This seems to assume that either offers value.

With ESA, it might be worthwhile clarifying what part of the security industry because ESA seems more focused on the burg / alarm side of the business. Just like burg only dealers probably see no reason to follow IPVM, video focused companies probably do not see a ton of value from the ESA.

I always get my courses accredited by both. I find that different parts of the country favor one or the other.

BISCI is often more recognized as being manufacturer agnostic - while training courses certainly don't have to be.

ESA courses seem a little easier to get submitted, FWIW.
