    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    Microsoft Teams can be integrated with a myriad Logitech or Jabra devices, many of the same or better quality than Lifesize. The cost for these devices is also significantly less.

    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    While it is not the most resourceful, it meets our needs and comes at a cost that our business can afford. Why pay more? That's why we have Lifesize Video Conferencing.

    Chose Lifesize Video Conferencing
    Cisco Webex required us to have webcams on all users, whereas Lifesize can utilize a single device (camera) that multiple employees can use at once. I also think that the video quality on the Lifesize camera is exceptional. The meeting software is relatively easy to use and is …

    For the TOC, I would say Lifsize has been good. We do use a combination of Lifesize and Polycom endpoints. Polycom does have more capabilities but at a higher cost.

    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 Microsoft Teams
    [I believe] Microsoft [T]eams is better than both of these apps for a business like ours. [I]ts quick chat and perfect notification system helps us to chat fluid without any problems. It performs better than the chat systems on Zoom, and therefore this is the reason we stayed …

    Chose Microsoft Teams
    We used a very old version of Lifesize. Microsoft Teams is more modern, so this is not really a fair comparison. Teams does the same and so much more! Again, being part of the Office 365 E3 offering meant we had it available anyway.
