An absolute dream
What do you like best about the product?
Verkada has been wonderful in so many ways during this purchase experience. Not only did they provide me with all the information about the latest tech and trends in the project field (environmental sensors and camera integration), but they were able to get the products to me faster than most these days--what with shortages and shipping issues. The products are high-quality, easy to install, a breeze to integrate, and work wonderfully. Working with Verkada has been an absolute dream.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really is not much that I can say about Verkada that is negative. My only complaint would have to be about the price of the products and licenses. That is a hard pill to swallow for a small school district like ours and we tend to have to rely on grants in order to be able to even come close to affording the offerings from Verkada. Then again, as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for" and Verkada delivers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Verkada is providing us with video and environmental surveillance for our school district. This has allowed up to track, monitor, and maintain safety in our schools. There have been several instances that the products have brought to our attention already so that we were able to mitigate any potential issues that could arise from the events.
Verkada has proven to be a great partner!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of the Verkada command platform. They kept it very basic and easy to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have not experienced problems yet. The help desk has even exceeded expectations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It protects us from liability and will be an useful tool in future investigations.
Verkada Implementation
What do you like best about the product?
The system is so easy to work with, from installing and adding devices to network, to navigating the command interface and finding specific footage. Switching to Verkada has been a great decision.
What do you dislike about the product?
Considering we are relatively new to the Verkada universe, we haven't found anything so far that we dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had an existing CCTV network, navigating the interface and finding footage was slow and cumbersome and sometimes we gave up before we found the footage.
The Verkada platform is so easy to navigate and finding footage is the single biggest advantage. This means we are saving time in finding the footage and resolving issues.

Great Surveillance Cameras and Interface - Terrible Access Control reporting and Service after Sale
What do you like best about the product?
Their surveillance cameras and the interface are fantastic. We purchased the cameras after looking at a few options and we were very pleased with the purchase process, ease of installation (POE) and the Verkada Command interface for the cameras. We liked them so much that we converted a relatively new access control system over to Verkada.
What do you dislike about the product?
The company seems unwilling to focus resources on making changes for existing customers. They used to be fantastic about feature requests and assisting the user, but they seem to now only want to create new products and make sales. Support is critical to the long-term survival of a company, and Verkada, in my opinion, is now missing that vital piece.
Second, their reporting is awful. Getting audit logs, filtering users by division, etc. are all either extremely cumbersome or just not possible at all. For a security company, these are MUST HAVES.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Verkada for both Surveillance and Access control. Having both products allows us to use the Verkada Command interface to manage both areas in an integrated manner.
Great product with a less than stellar sales team.
What do you like best about the product?
Verkada is a security camera cloud platform that is easily accessible from browser or app.
The web interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, with a configurable dashboard for your often used options.
Cameras can be grouped and controlled by policy if that is what is desired.

What do you dislike about the product?
After thoroughly describing an intended use case to a new sales representative, a subpar camera was sent that was not up to handling the distance required. They have a model that easily would have accomplished the job, but they did not send it for some reason. When a request was made for the appropriate camera, there was a delay of three weeks for a demo unit. The delay was not because one was not available, but because our rep could not convince someone to send one out to us. Not sure what the problem was, but after three weeks we moved on to another vendor. Shortly after we switched, the rep came up with a camera and then tried to guilt me because we didn't want it anymore.
I am sure this was an isolated incident, but annoying nonetheless.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Verkada's cameras and monitoring services are helping with loss prevention and fraudulent claims. The ability to scrub quickly through footage and to locate by time/date has been an indispensable time saver.

Verkada: the sophisticated camera system made easy!
What do you like best about the product?
Verkada has every feature you need or even want in a security system! SUPER easy to install, or make changes to the camera/system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Check out their extra camera mounts; they come in handy for various environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Verkada solves "on-site" NVR problems and breakdowns. Everything is stored on the cloud and is failsafe, protecting you and your business from costly downtime.
Easy to use system
What do you like best about the product?
The system was easy to implement and took very little effort to get users onboarded and comfortable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing. Both license and hardware costs are significant when compared to other products and competitors. As a customer, I definitely have some work to justify the expense even if I do love the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting non-technical users the access that they need with a well-developed solution.
Great for Schools
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, installation, cloud backups, and low maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our installer was terrible. They are so easy to install we should have just done it ourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We didn't want to mess with a local video servier. Verkada takes care of that and provides cloud backups
