Implementation Rating

Get a clear description of the steps required to implement the console. In our case, we had to upgrade our previous products to cloud-based consoles and it took a number of tries to get it right.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Lifesize as our conferencing application across multiple locations. We have set up specific rooms in all three offices to support group conferencing but also allow remote users to use Lifesize to join or enable them to use personal video conferences.

We are geographically in Vancouver, Toronto and San Francisco and Lifesize reduces the amount of travel time for our employees. Besides meetings, we use Lifesize to facilitate our company-wide updates.

Pros and Cons

Ease of use - a directory is available for all parties to connect to internal staff.
Cloud based enables the platform to connect our remote sales agents.
High definition videos using the Lifesize consoles are very clear.

A component that is available in other products like GoToMeeting as a "webinar" type application which allows group management and control capabilities for participants.

Likelihood to Recommend

Group conferencing is good with Lifesize. The movement to the cloud extends its capabilities to remote users. As mentioned previously, a functionality for some type of "webinar" controls would be a great addition to the product.

Lifesize provides a turnkey conferencing solution.
