Overall Satisfaction with Lifesize Video Conferencing

We had been using Lifesize Video Conferencing for a few years, then at the beginning of 2018, we contacted the support center to see if we could add functionality. We started using Virtual Meeting Rooms, and then the recording function. It has allowed us to create a video training library that everyone is excited to use.
  • The screen is very clear and easy to understand.
  • The support department is very responsive and eager to walk you through new features.
  • When we start a conference in our NJ office and there is a video presentation, often when our NY office joins in the presentation switches to them. This is particularly annoying when we have third parties also joining as it makes us look like we don't know what we're doing.
  • Lifesize definitely adds to our firm's productivity as it allows for our multiple office locations to fully participate in firm meetings and events. It also allows those who may be outside the office to join as well using the VMR feature. Now our partners and staff don't have to worry about missing important meetings even when they can't be there. As long as they have access to a computer they can still fully participate.
The support team was very helpful in providing easy-to-understand instructions, as well as dealing with my multiple follow-ups since I kept forgetting to write things down!
Zoom was very cumbersome to use and it was difficult to manage the recordings. Lifesize offers the ability to easily conference with other Lifesize units as well as individuals on their personal computers, you can switch presenters from one to another swiftly, and there's no pre-planning that needs to be done to record the sessions - just push the button!
It's a great product for collaborating among various locations and offers great flexibility during presentations. It would be nice if we could have microphones that could link to the unit instead of just the wired table versions as sometimes the background noise overpowers the speakers.
