Overall Satisfaction with Lifesize Video Conferencing
We currently use LifeSize to help increase employee coordination both internally and externally. It does a good job at allowing internal employees to work better together, from the same office, to the same country, and even all over the world. It quickly became very popular to use and was adopted very quickly as we had a need for an easy system that would help boost our cooperation and user experience between offices. It's even very popular for the use of LifeSize Cloud's Audio Only Meetings, as they can handle up to 25 participants and are one of the most common types of meetings we need to have. It's helped saved numerous flights and hotel stays around the world as often, business meetings can easily take place over LifeSize. Not all have been replaced, but definitely a good number.
- LifeSize is simple to use. Especially when using LifeSize Cloud. The ease of selecting meetings, conference rooms, or available users to call is really, really helpful.
- LifeSize Cloud's Single Sign On was a bit of a pain to set up, but now that it's running, it's amazingly simple to use and my users are already used to it!
- The presentation quality has been upgraded over previous versions and is now better able to show spreadsheets and other documentation that is often looked at.
- LifeSize updates their endpoints and user clients fairly often, meaning you're getting good security updates and software updates automatically, like you need to.
- My biggest gripe was that when we first invested in LifeSize (and later Cloud), it didn't feel like a finished product. Large changes happen fairly often for a fully deployed product and that makes it difficult to get out in front of sometimes.
- The price is expensive. While they're around the same range as their competition, with how far along the platform was when we started, it didn't feel like we should have had to pay as much as we did.
- We had to have numerous bad issues and experiences over and over again before getting a very high level of support. However once things started to get too bad, LifeSize did step up and address our problems with the fervor and dedication that we wanted and expected.
