Have recently had to put a system in (not my choice) And overall it works, and wasn't overly complicated to set up.

I don't know pricing on it so not sure where it is supposed to stand as far as who it is in competition with.

I do think it is one of those systems that as long as you "stay within the lines" you can put a usable system together pretty quickly.

They offer on line training sessions that go through the procedures and you are actually connected to a system in their offices.

One thing I don't like (and I could be wrong here) I believe you have to be connected to a system to program it, much like Elan g!. A bit of a pain if you like to do a fair bit of work ahead of time.
Programming in the cloud works, and if you have issues their tech support can be logged onto your system and help (and I had to use this)

And that's all I have to say about that...

Waiting for their slim line amplifiers to be released that use the B&O modules.
I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

That is the case. I questioned them about this before. Otherwise, I like the product. It's not cheap. It started as very high end but now they have some lower-cost options more along the lines of Elan.

They've had some traction among home builders.

Its cloud based. So when they go under, you wont be able to service any systems you have installed.

That is the only reason I have any interest in Clare. I really really want to try one of those amps.

We have used the new 16 channel amp. Works very well.

We have had excellent luck with their IP cameras and NVRs. We have a couple dozen systems out there without a single bad product. Good warranty, and service.

Have not tried thr control system though.
