Overall Satisfaction with Lifesize Video Conferencing

We have been utilizing the Cloud and Room systems for over a year, and we can say wholeheartedly that they are now a vital communications tool within our business. With the ability to join a meeting from virtually anywhere and on any device, we can ensure we are attending a meeting or assisting a colleague on time every time. The browser-based calling is another awesome element, customers can join a call as a guest without needing to download anything on their laptop or desktop machines, and on a mobile device all they need to do is download the app and they are connected. With Lifesize, our team have remained connected throughout the current pandemic, ensuring the feeling of a team is retained and allowing the business to continue as close to normal as we can. The added ability to meet any of our clients or suppliers face to face over Lifesize has also proven to be extremely valuable, making negotiation and problem solving far easier, and certainly, far more efficient. We currently have our whole business using the platform, including our external consultants, which brings them into the fold of the business without the need to be in the office every day. Lifesize has been a true lifesaver during the COVID-19 period and we are eagerly looking forward to the new innovations that they will deliver in the coming months. Thank you Lifesize!

Pros

  • Superb lip sync and lifelike quality 4k video.
  • Share my content to my colleagues and customers in a high frame rate and 4k quality.
  • Voice calls on Lifesize are crystal clear and always accessible.
  • Ease of use: the Icon room systems are so easy to use, as is the computer and mobile application.
  • Using Lifesize on my iPhone and iPad has been simple and highly effective.
  • Connecting with Teams and Skype for business has connected everyone with ease.
  • The web management platform gives me clear visibility on usage and allows me to easily manage my team and contacts.

Cons

  • We would love to be able to brand our virtual meeting rooms.
  • We would love to have the ability to create break out rooms from the main virtual room.
  • Video voicemail would be excellent for missed calls.
  • Using Lifesize has saved our business, we would not be able to operate without it!
  • The money that this solution costs has been recovered many times over.
  • My FD did perform an ROI calculation on the system and as of January, we were at 244% and it keeps growing, as everything is paid for and the only costs are the licenses!
  • One of the key objectives of the Lifesize solution was to connect the team and customers. The solution has certainly achieved this goal admirably!
When compared to Zoom, one of the massive benefits that Lifesize brings is total peace of mind with security. Call encryption is part of the core in Lifesize and not an optional feature as in Zoom. I don't know about you, but every conversation can contain private and confidential information, so protecting me, my team, and my customers is totally covered with Lifesize!

When compared with other providers, the quality of the video and lip sync on Lifesize is simply flawless. With the ability to deliver a call at 4k ultra high definition at 60 frames per second, the platform is simply awesome! Zoom is only 720p and the data share is only 5 frames per second. Zoom is simply substandard when compared to Lifesize.

We often speak with clients who are using Teams or Skype for Business, but when you compare the video and audio quality with that achieved by Lifesize, they simply do not match up. If you want excellent quality video and ultra-sharp audio, then Lifesize is the only way to go!

The Lifesize Cloud Platform, combined with the connected Icon Room Systems, provides any business with a reliable, stable, and unrivaled quality video communications solution. I would have no hesitation in recommending this solution to any business, large or small—it just works every time!

With the added ability to simply book a meeting directly from Outlook or the browser, invite your room system and be faced with a simple yes or no on the screen of the room system, this is by far the simplest video conferencing solution that I have ever used.
