I still have recruiters reaching out to me every few weeks about open positions at Avigilon. I know they used to have a "Glenngary Glen Ross" culture. How are they today?

If you are looking for a position at IndigoVision, Avigilon’s a great place to start!

This is great to see unbiased (and I'm sure some probably biased) opinions concerning this company. As a relatively new VMS user and support person for my employer - we hear from sales personnel and techs about this and that VMS and VMS company. IPVM does a great job at providing information to educate us so we aren't caught off guard and know first-hand what others are openly saying.
We are starting to implement and support more Avigilon equipment so it will be interesting to see what Motorola does this coming year. It is hard to consider switching to another VMS because with this company's growth and quick evolution, it may eventually provide anything we see a lack of.

It's interesting how the "proprietary" tag persists.
Granted, their Pro cameras have been unopened to other VMS's until recently. But that was largely b/c no other VMS could handle displaying 100+ MP (without HDSM) of video on a display screen without blowing up the client and giving Avigilon a bad name. That's a profound technical advantage, not a proprietary state.
Likewise, in the early adoption of analytics, their analytics were not opened to other VMS's so they could build a base and competitive advantage with what's recognized as some of the best analytics performance in the market. What company doesn't take advantage of a competitive advantage to better their business. That's not proprietary. That's smart.
And yes, I have Avigilon bias. I think they're one of the best and offer some compelling differentiators.

I agree with Mfr #4. There is widespread use of the word proprietary in this industry where every single VMS is, to at least some degree, proprietary. I run into this all the time during customer interactions and I find myself wasting an immense amount of time talking customers down off of that ledge, while simultaneously explaining to them why every manufacturer is unique in their own technological priorities and pursuits. I am usually on auto-pilot while I do this verbally and wondering to myself privately why I have to explain this to someone with an MBA. Then I think about Ice Cream until the customer comes to his or her senses.

Agreed. The amount of Ice Cream depends on the mental acuity of the person Im speaking to. Im less inclined to get into the details about various flavors because thats more of mood thing on my part.

Cherry Garcia never let you down, ever. No analytics required but it's proprietary to Ben and Jerrys.

Bad news bubba. Motorola is wholly owned by Lenovo, a Chinese company. Do a search on "Lenovo caught spying" and you will be enlightened.
