Overall Satisfaction with Lifesize Video Conferencing

Icon systems are easy to set up and use. Desktop clients prompt for frequent updates, which require network admin credentials in our organization. To be fair, the updates often incorporate new features as they become available. Browser clients have improved dramatically in the last year, however, there is still room for improvement.
We use LifeSize to conduct meetings across the enterprise, as well as to record training sessions, and interviews. Lifesize cuts down on the travel time between our offices for meetings.

Pros

  • The system is easy to set up and administer.
  • The system is intuitive and easy to use.

Cons

  • Updates to the client are too frequent.
  • Web plugin does not work without a camera.
  • Marginal qualtity of shared computer content.
Lifesize's video conferencing is great and the video quality is excellent. The systems are easy to use, work on a variety of platforms, and are reliable. Lifesize is weak in the area of sharing desktop content between users and has no capability of allowing "remote control". If the main focus is desktop content sharing, GoToMeeting or WebEx is a better solution.
