    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    Lifesize is a combined hardware/software solution that provides rock-solid and high-fidelity communications. It really shines in larger organizations that have dedicated conference facilities and the staff to maintain those properly. The quality is unmatched, and I have never …

    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    We only implemented the Lifesize video conferencing system because a bullheaded C level executive demanded it. I recommended against it throughout the entire process, as it is a poor implementation of all the technology it uses.

    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    Both Skype and Lifesize have audio and video performance issues. Skype for Business is not out of the box HIPAA compliant. Lifesize has a support number where real people respond. Lifesize is mostly compatible with our room video conferencing equipment.

    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    This really was not even a close race between Skype and LifeSize. We wanted a product that would be seamless in our large and even the small conference rooms. We could not find an elegant way to get Skype for Business to work in a larger room. Even though it was "free" we …

    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    Overall, I'd have to say that on the endpoint side Lifesize really competes well against Polycom and Cisco, and I think they have the best product. On the software front, Lifesize does very well overall and they are continuing to get better.
    To sum up, when we look at the total …

    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    Features are comparable, but Lifesize is much less expensive.

    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    LifeSize is as easy to use as Go-To or WebEx, but is as immersive a tool as Polycom. It's a happy middle-ground.
