Implementation Rating

Basically, we did it ourselves and learned on the job.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used across the Whole Organization
Easy access to VC communications
Connecting desktop mobiles and VC Rooms

Pros and Cons

Easy of Connecting a VC
Connecting VC Rooms, desktops mobiles ie almost anybody
It can dial out which no other Product ie Zoom or BJ can do

Pl check out the Admin or Moderator Capability of Blue Jeans - Lifesize MUST HAVE Capability to Control and Manage a Conference ie mute participants, check participants network etc
MODERATORS MUST HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO CONTROL LAYOUTS OF THE CONFERENCE
Reporting like Blue Jeans

Return on Investment

Absolutely Positive ROI
Lowered travel cost
Increased Collaboration

Alternatives Considered

Lifesize was chosen because it has the ability to Dial out and participants, even on desktop and mobile, can get incoming calls.

Likelihood to Recommend

LESS Suited for a Managed VC ie Moderator Controls and not as good as Blue Jeans.

More Suited - when all participants are disciplined and know how to use VC and control and manage their Mics.

Moderator Controls to Manage ie Mute, Change Layout and check network of Participants - then you don't need Blue Jeans
