    If you use Microsoft collaboration tools then Lifesize Share is a great fit for you as it integrates well with their collaboration ecosystem. We found it easy to set up and very easy to administrate. It definitely makes everyone at the conference room table be seen and heard by others during the session.

    Signal is great for high-security applications where privacy is a concern, perhaps because of the sensitive nature of the materials being communicated. For instance, if you are sending sensitive information about a film that hasn't been released yet, and you want to make sure that paparazzi and fans don't get access to spoiler information, Signal is a great way to communicate.

    Usability

    We found that employees could use Lifesize Share without any prior training as long as we created "cheat sheets" to leave in each conference room where the equipment is installed.

    Both the initial installation and any ongoing support went very well. The support personnel was very knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. We were very pleased with how quickly any questions were answered and that very few incidents reoccurred.

    I've never contacted support but I see that they are on the ball for bug fixes, highly communicative in release notes, and continually releasing updates to Signal that address common user complaints. Given how responsive the development team is, and how they are continually improving Signal, I think their support is top notch.

    It is nice to implement, easier than other solutions and in my opinion, other solutions could be harder to implement. I was doing some demos for other software with other companies and I realized that the way of work is more difficult to implement and probably to maintain, at least in my opinion.

    Signal is far and away better and more feature-rich. Skype is no longer the app it used to be before Microsoft acquired it, and WhatsApp, while trying to be much like Signal with claims, has too many features that lead to a sense of insecurity as it's too widely used and used for too many things.
