Eagle Eye Favorability Results 2019

By: IPVM Team, Published on Mar 21, 2019

Eagle Eye has been the biggest spender in the cloud VMS market including (via their owner) acquiring Brivo for $50 million and CameraManager from Panasonic, though their product / service still lacks many fundamental VMS functionalities (see IPVM test results). 

In IPVM's 2019 study, the company had modestly net positive favorability though high neutral level, as the chart below shows:
