Overall Satisfaction with Lifesize Video Conferencing

We're using this solution to bring in remote subject matter experts, distance learning and global collaboration sessions. Some streams are recorded and archived for the future. If you're working with a big distributed teams across the country (or even worldwide) this is perfectly suited case. There are some add-ons services that you can subscribe to to improve the whole process. For the last year we hosted around 2000 meetings (~1600 meeting hours) and Lifesize doesn't let us down.
  • It's easy to use once configured
  • Video and audio quality is amazing
  • Very reliable (more than 2000 meetings per year with no issues)
  • Smart focus feature is great
  • Add on services are great
  • Price is pretty high compare to competitors
  • 10 hours is a max for recording
  • Now the team can work like we're together in one place
  • Team efficiency increased for the last year for ~15%
  • Travel costs are reduced for ~ 25%
  • Hiring quality employees in different areas saves us 12% of HR budget
It takes a couple days to be prepared for the productive work.
Lifesize seems more reliable for us than Skype for Business, since we had problems with Skype for 2 months in a row. Sococo is ok, but only for technical teams.
You can find almost any field where this solution can be used (media, fintech, education, health)
Small company for sure will find something cheaper.
