8 REVIEW(S)

JOSEPH HARRELL

Security Electronics Engineer, CoreCivic

juni 17, 2020

"The Boring Toolbox has become an integral part of our daily operation as we support our Milestone systems around the country. Now that we have surpassed 10,000 cameras, we would be unable to effectively maintain our systems without Boring. The suite of tools offered within the Boring Toolbox is truly a force multiplier and allows our small department to maintain our camera systems with ease. As if that were not enough, Ronin and Dani have supported us every step of the way and are constantly updating us on new developments. If all companies had this level of customer service, there would be far less problems in the world! Anyone running Milestone without Boring Toolbox is truly missing out!"

PETER SASSMANNSHAUSEN

ICT & AV Specialist , Emmanuel College Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia

"Firstly, this amazing software enabled my team and I to consolidate and manage all previous passwords for our IP cameras giving us the ability to streamline our major security server upgrade. Secondly, I have never experienced such outstanding customer service, going above and beyond to ensure our user experience was premium, I couldn't recommend this software more, that and coupled with the service it's second to none."

PATRICK CHRISTENSEN

Biomedical IT, VA

februar 03, 2020

"Since starting to use the Boring Toolbox it has helped to make management of the surveillance system much more manageable. The dashboard provides a quick overview of the entire system. This makes it much easier to locate and isolate issues. Managing passwords used to be a pain to say the least, the boring toolbox has dramatically reduced the time required to manage and change passwords."

DAVE SMITH

Project Manager, Mitie Security

oktober 11, 2019

"This software is amazing! It paid for itself the first time I pressed "generate report" Installation was quick and simple, the interface is easy to use. Support has been responsive, proffesional and helpful. We will be using this software on other installations."

JACOB M ONSTAD

Field Services Engineer, Milestone Systems

september 24, 2019

"We have been using The Boring Toolbox to streamline our Professional Services Engagements and could not be more happy with the product. The bulk configuration capabilities, reporting, and overall functionality of the product is outstanding! If you need a force multiplier to help you manage your XProtect environment, this is your answer. "

CHRISTOPHER HAMBRIC

Project Manager, Marathon Electrical Contractors

juni 20, 2019

"The Boring Tool Box has saved us countless man-hours. It is really easy to make mass changes across a large camera system with just a few clicks of a mouse."

BRYCE FULLER

Engineer, Stone Security

februar 15, 2019

"The Boring Toolbox has helped save countless hours by taking the mundane tasks of password changes, and other bulk changes and speeding them up to a matter of minutes instead of many hours. Boring Labs is always adding new features and they listen to their end users and integrators to add new features frequently. "

ANDY GORDON

Senior Operations Lead, Snap Inc

januar 16, 2019

"Since we began to use The Boring Toolbox, we have seen intensive and time consuming tasks cut to a fraction of the time and effort. The Toolbox is simple and easy to use and is a force multiplier when it comes to manpower. The Support team is efficient, knowledgeable, and eager to help and streamline our process."
