Genetec ranked as top developer of video surveillance software: report

According to research from Omdia, Genetec Inc. continues to build its position as a respected developer of video surveillance software with a widening share of the market. Overall, Genetec grew at three times the pace of the market and demonstrated the fastest growth of leading* software companies across all geographies (based on Omdia reported 2018 and 2019 data).

“Genetec is encouraged by this news but we remind ourselves that the true measure of success is not to be found in market share figures but whether or not our partners and customers feel like we have delivered against the service levels and outcomes they expect,” stated Pierre Racz, President, Genetec Inc. in a company statement.  “Our independence and single-mindedness have helped us earn the trust of the market, and our investment in research and development have helped us deliver products at the cutting edge of client needs.”

Enterprise, government, education, and public safety organizations are seeking greater privacy and cybersecurity functionality, as well as additional operational value and return on investment from their physical security systems.
