The presence of the camera and microphone in all the meeting rooms we have is amazing. The video and audio quality are great and you really feel as if you were in-person speaking. We love to use Lifesize and are very used to make video calls every day at all times.
Security is important so we use both depending on what is required. The low bandwidth has an advantage for multiple users and the locations can mute the conversation to talk with themselves in Lifesize. Zoom has controls for the moderator and not the individual.
Overall, I'd have to say that on the endpoint side Lifesize really competes well against Polycom and Cisco, and I think they have the best product. On the software front, Lifesize does very well overall and they are continuing to get better. To sum up, when we look at the total …
I did not list all of the software we have tried here, but we have literally tried and used everything, nothing works as seamlessly and easily as Zoom.
Hands down the ease of use for our hosts to initiate and our users to get on a Zoom session. We've used very little hardware so far but the fact that we were able to use Zoom with our laptops and desktops was a huge positive. Now we're looking to see the hardware for Zoom rooms …
The UI for Zoom is much more user-friendly compared to Lifesize. The overall cost of entry is substantially lower as well. Lifesize is limited in its cross-platform compatibility. This is a problem that Zoom solves out of the box.
With Webex we had performance problems on thin clients. With Zoom they are solved, at least on the latest generation thin clients. Lifesize Cloud, in my own opinion, asks for more resources from the client.
Zoom has more functionality, and seems to be developing its platform on a much more regular basis. Lifesize is focused on developing their hardware, making their software development lag behind. Zoom is also much more streamlined and more simple to use than Lifesize is. …
Both BlueJeans and Zoom offered superior audio and video quality to our users. Either one of them would have been a solid choice. We ultimately selected Zoom not only because of the quality, but because of the effort that the Zoom team was putting into their product, while …
We had horrible quality issues with Skype, Skype for Business and Google Hangouts. It's really hard to come off as credible and professional when you're breaking up and freezing all the time. I ended up testing out 3 solutions - BlueJeans, Lifesize and Zoom. I selected Zoom …
We selected Zoom very early on primarily due to cost. We truly didn't think it was really ready to take over for our H323 legacy system but it truly surprised and has exceeded our expectations in all areas.
