This solution is all about Flexibility and adaptative to the customer's needs. In all the companies I have implemented, the users are happy. In the beginning, the users feel afraid, but later it is a good idea for their daily jobs. I recommend the implementation of the solution with a good supplier.
Pros
Adaptative
User friendly.
Nice to use.
Cons
User manual.
Some small functionalities are missing.
More varieties of use.

I recommend this solution for any kind of enterprise, but I think specifically for mid-size companies, the solution is good. It offers many possibilities to them. But also to some big-size companies, It is correct; with the best integrator, it will work well. Nice if it is well implemented.

As a Videoconferencing and Digital Signage professional, I deploy multiple solutions for small, medium, and executive meeting rooms from multiple vendors. Since the pandemic and the massive usage of collaborative tools: companies seek efficiency, flexibility, and creativity. Many companies struggle with siloed equipment for every single feature. A dedicated codec for Videoconferencing, a TV with lots of cables for sharing, and a mix of microphones for audio, and for Videoconferencing. The Lifesize Share is an all-in-one solution for a full-featured meeting room. It provides all that every modern meeting room needs. On one project, a customer had a physical whiteboard (and nonworking markers), HDMI, DVI, VGA (and more) cables, a legacy Tandberg equipment. He decided to deploy a Lifesize Share, a solution on top of 20 years of experience and innovation efforts Lifesize put in meeting room conferencing solutions. Now the video meetings are 4K, brainstorming on a whiteboard is easy, and sharing content is intuitive and cable-free and without any intervention of an IT technician. They now are more than ever focus on business matters rather than old technical problems. This truly liberates the productivity and efficiency in meetings.
Pros
4K Videoconferencing
Whiteboard
Content sharing
Collaborative meetings
Digital Signage
Cons
Speaker tracking camera
Integration with sono amplifiers
Live streaming to Facebook/Youtube etc

Lifesize is best suited for a customer wanting to replace siloed solutions where he uses Cisco for videoconferencing, a mix of collaborative desktop solutions (Teams, Skype and Cisco), and various physical other tools for sono, whiteboard, etc. Lifesize is an all-in-one solution for a smart meeting room. The interoperability of Lifesize with various solutions including cloud ones makes it infrastructure agnostic since it fits customer who already has Teams, Webex or IBM Cloud unified communications solutions. The business cases are numerous, from executive meetings, E-Learning, Event hosting, design sessions, and lots more. However, the Lifesize solution should not be mistaken as PBX-like, the customer still needs an infrastructure for voice and chat messaging, or also a contact center solution. Yet, for contact center features, Lifesize is suitable for knowledge workers for video escalation or a workshop with customers for example.
For conference rooms, this product allows the screen to look like an endpoint for Microsoft Teams, thus allowing collaboration between people in the rooms and others. These could be a Lifesize share in another conference room or someone using Microsoft Teams on a PC, either in the office or at home.
Pros
Screen sharing.
Co-browsing.
Collaboration.
Cons
Ease of use.
Screen resolution.
Sound quality.

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.
