What do you like best about Lifesize?

The organization of the screens and the fact that when someone is speaking their screen is the largest at the top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lifesize?

I do not like that when you Join A Meeting that the camera and audio are shared with the group by default. I may be missing a button/feature there but I always default into my calls on video and audio.....sometimes before I am ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lifesize:

It could streamline the efficiency of communication within your business/organization and also highlight some features you did not know were available through other channels of video conferencing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lifesize solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving the problem of not getting face time with top level executives in my company that are too busy to visit my location by getting in front of them (on Lifesize) more and more often. What benefit I have realized since using, which is also most important to me now, is that I can read non-verbal cues in business meetings when proposals and pricing are being discussed whereas over the phone I only have tone in the voice of my client/boss/peer.

What do you like best about Lifesize?

Lifesize can be used and accessed from everywhere and anytime, seamlessly. A meeting can be accessed from a web browser, regular telephone/mobile call, through LifeSize Icon and even from other third-party video conference equipment. Regardless of any particular device or platform, making it the ideal product for large organisations - connecting everyone through Virtual Cloud Meeting Rooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lifesize?

The most limitation that we encounter every day with Lifesize is the collaboration limitation. While LifeSize allows you to share screens with all participants, it cannot collaborate and take control of the presenter screen, like other competitors in the market allow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lifesize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Due to the nature of Corinthia Hotels, multiple properties distributed throughout the globe - LifeSize is the main primarily platform used for video and audio conferences. It allows us to connect easily with each other, without any particular knowledge to use the system due to its user-friendly approach and a reliable connection video conferencing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rebecca Sims of Lifesize

Hi there - thank you for the detailed feedback and concerns on screenshare limitations.

We'd love to discuss collaboration limitations for Corinthia Hotels with you. We may be able to find a way to better meet the needs of your organization - if not now, in the future.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Lifesize?

Very useful for video conference. Great customer service. I like how the technology is very user friendly and how my clients and co-workers are able to get work done is a speedy process thanks to the user friendly system we acquired and have throughout our offices. It is so easy to turn on and be able to connect for our real estate projects and for meetings with people who cannot be in the same room with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lifesize?

I have never had an issue with Lifesize. Completely satisfied. Neither I nor any of our employees or clients have had any issues with Lifesize. In fact, the quite opposite is what we have experienced ever since we have taken on this technology and used it throughout our business. Clients and employees have raved about how great our Lifesize products are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lifesize:

One thing I would recommend is the ease of use with the products that Lifesize offers. The user friendly systems that they offer will really have benefits with companies regardless of how many employees are working for them. Clients will also be amazed on the technology and how they can connect and interact with you for special projects especially when people are not able to attend in one place/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lifesize solving and how is that benefiting you?

No problems whatsoever. Being able to communicate with employees at different locations but at the same time has been wonderful. This also helps us achieve being able to connect with our clients to where there is no lack of communication.Clients and employees have raved about how great our Lifesize products are because of the ease of use.

What do you like best about Lifesize?

The ability to link several locations and the cristal clear sound capability, we can meet with our employees from different states and countries and have trainings without having to spend in transportation to have everyone together in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lifesize?

The colors are not as clear so I guess that means better resolution, otherwise everything is fine, maybe you can also improve the presentation window which can get pretty slow sometimes, also please improve the Chat functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lifesize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ease of use and the ability to have face to face meetings with employees out of state/country Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lifesize?

After using various LifeSize units for the past 7 years, the best part of these systems are that they just work when needed. Rolling in to that is that they are intuitive enough for those not technically-inclined to feel confident in walking in to a meeting room and making a site-to-site call themselves if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lifesize?

LifeSize is not the cheapest option. It certainly lives in the space of "you get what you pay for" however. Some other systems can be had for cheaper if you bring your own equipment and piecemeal something together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lifesize:

If you can afford it over other options like Zoom, LifeSize is worth the cost of entry and saving yourself some headaches. Pay attention to what is included in your plan though. Audio-only call-ins was in our trial but didn't end up in our package which wasn't clear and had to be purchased afterward at additional cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lifesize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Connecting scattered workers and multiple offices together for meetings where phone calls won't do. This helps us cut down on travel costs associated with forcing all staff to one office for meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lifesize?

I work remotely and find that Lifesize is a LifeSaver for connecting with my team. We use the Lifesize connection several times a week and would be lost without it. It provides clear, good sound and screen quality both for me working remotely and for my teammates who are working in the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lifesize?

I've had only a few occasions when Lifesize was difficult to manage and it might have been due to my internet service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lifesize:

I highly recommend considering Lifesize as the system to use for connecting with staff members who work remotely and for connecting with potential and established business contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lifesize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lifesize gives me the opportunity to stay closely connected with my teammates. I can't be in the office in person so I use Lifesize to attend important meetings where I can contribute and gain the information I need to do my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lifesize?

I appreciate the way Lifesize has made our videoconferencing a rock solid experience for our users. We have zero lag across our state when doing our "all hands" meetings even though our users are using multiple platforms to attend. This includes Icon systems, laptops, and even cell service on phones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lifesize?

I have not found a way to control an icon camera (pan, tilt, zoom) from a remote side. I believe this used to be a feature on the older Lifesize systems. However as the Admin I can control most of the other functions remotely which is a tremendously important feature--I do not have to be at any of the locations to control their video conference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lifesize:

Try it. I think it is the premier v/c system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lifesize solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have significantly decreased travel across the state. But we feel that we have increased our corporate participation by using video conferencing especially getting to know new employees at our remote offices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lifesize?

managing the lifesize platform is really simple and intuitive.

we give assistance to customers and we are able to fully satisfy their needs.

Users are able to independently manage their video conferences and dial-in without asking for help from the technical staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lifesize?

Surely there could be arguments for service growth and innovation.

for example it might be useful to choose a layout for each videoconference.

another argument could be to integrate the Icon hardware with the telephone exchange in order to make external calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lifesize:

Lifesize will make video conferencing and dial-in easier.

especially in an environment where employees have no technical extraction, the Lifesize solution manages to be truly intuitive.

There are different types of hardware suitable for most companies and finding the solution that suits your case is really simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lifesize solving and how is that benefiting you?

After the initial setup we no longer had to worry about data lines, updates and being behind unresolved issues.

With the Lifesize system the costs of assistance and maintenance have been considerably reduced and the fact of having an always available and efficient system has increased the business productivity.

Assistance is timely and very professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
