Ranking Manufacturer Favorability 2023
In our largest favorability survey results ever, we rank 70 companies based on detailed feedback and comments from over 200+ integrators.
The companies included in our 2023 favorability surveys were (with links to individual favorability reports: 2N, Acre, Alarm.com, Allegion, Ambient AI, Amag, Arcules, Assa, AVA, Avigilon, Axis, Axon / Taser, Bosch, Brivo, ButterflyMX, CDVI, Dahua, Dell, Digital Watchdog, DMP, Dormakaba, Eagle Eye, Exacq, Feenics, Flir, Flock, Fusus, Gallagher, Galaxy, Genea, Genetec, Hanwha, HID, Hikvision, Honeywell, Honeywell ACS, Huawei, ICT, Idemia, Identiv, i-Pro, Kantech, Kisi, Knightscope, Latch, LenelS2, March Networks, Meraki, Mercury, Milestone, Mobotix, Motorola, Nedap, Network Optix, ONVIF, OpenEye, PDK, Pelco, Rhombus, Ring, Salto, Software House (C-Cure), Suprema, Ubiquiti, Uniview, Verkada, Vivotek, Wavelynx, Wyze and ZKTeco.
Integrator votes and in-depth comments revealed which brands were well regarded for value, performance, or support and which were viewed as overpriced, untrusted, or unknown.
In this report, we examine:
- Net Favorability Results ranked from the most to least favorable.
- 2021 vs. 2023 Net Change in Favorability showing which companies gained and lost the most.
- 2023 Neutrality results showing which companies integrators felt most and least strongly about.
- North American manufacturer rankings.
- Asian manufacturer rankings
- VMS rankings.
- VSaaS rankings.
- Access/Intrusion rankings.
- Alphabetical ranking chart.
Notes:
- As with all IPVM research, these results may NOT be used promotionally, as they violate our terms of service and are against our fundamental philosophy of independence and research, not marketing.
- Selection criteria: Outside of the biggest manufacturers, deciding on inclusion or exclusion is difficult as name recognition is much lower for most other companies. If a company you use, partner with, or work for was not included, it is not a judgment on how good or bad they are but whether we anticipate enough respondents will have comments one way or the other.
