Implementation Rating

The touch screen integration is top notch, and a nice feature. This is a very light and highly portable device that allows clear video streaming, as well as clear audio. There are many tools and features such as video recording software that makes this stronger than other streaming software, such as Skype.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lifesize Video Conferencing is being used for just that--video conferencing. It's an incredibly clear streaming device that's simple to use anywhere. Its set up is easier than any video conferencing device I've seen used in the past, is portable, and the built in touch screen phone is a nice touch that makes this device elegant, and all in one. I've used this over Skype to have small conferences, and haven't been disappointed.

Alternatives Considered

Skype

Skype, while a great program for personal use, and the use amongst family and friends, does not have nearly as strong of features as Lifesize Video Conferencing. Skype is also more laggy and fickle, while Lifesize allows for more clarity in the video quality, as well as the quality of their sound.

Likelihood to Recommend

I know there's some admin features that I haven't personally used, but that seem like a strong tool for those in charge of running this software in the office. It's a great tool for live video conferencing, with several previously mentioned featured that make it better than programs like Skype. It's a great tool for in office.
