Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lifesize is used across our entire organization. It is the key tool for the success of our work from home program, allowing employees to work remotely while still keeping in touch. Also, a key tool as we have remote locations in 7 states. Allows us to conference in colleagues without having to travel. We also use it to facilitate new employee onboarding and orientation.

Pros and Cons

Easy set up
Addresses are in the system, easy to look up a participant and connect with them.
Great audio/video presentation quality
With multiple participants on a single call, the speaker's video is enlarged on the screen to highlight who is talking. Nice.

On occasion, the video drops, probably our Internet connection issue.
Sometimes we have to reboot for an unknown issue. That usually fixes problem though.

Return on Investment

Reduced travel costs
An enabler of our work from home program
Very easy setup

Alternatives Considered

Cisco Webex Teams (formerly Cisco Spark)

Better audio and video than WebEx. Easier user interface.

Likelihood to Recommend

Is perfect for a remote workforce. Runs smoothly on my laptop with a webcam and keeps me connected to my entire team around the country for company-wide meetings. It is just a great tool vs having to travel. Although some people do not like being on video, they can join in audio-only mode.

Great tool for remote productivity
