Lifesize®
Cloud vs. Free Video Services
Competitive Analysis Series
Why Free Video Services
Just Don’t Cut It for Business
What happens if a free service fails during an important call? Whom do you
call for support?
What happens as you add employees? How do you ensure that everyone has
an updated directory?
Is it okay that anyone in the world can find your CEO in a public directory?
Would better audio and video quality improve your meetings?
Free video services lack business-class features, including quality of service,
secure network traversal and tightly integrated meeting room solutions.
Consider This
Free services are not reliable, and there is no one you can call for help.
With free video conferencing solutions, you get low quality video,
intermittent-audio issues and dropped calls.
They are missing business-centric features.
Free video conferencing solutions like Skype™, Google Hangouts™ and
FaceTime® are consumer products. They lack business-class tools and
features.
Free services lack interoperability.
You have one standardized version of a free service, but it won’t work with
anything else. Will you pay for a bridging service to connect you with others?
They claim business-like features, but …
Unfortunately, you will have to pay for that, and everything above still applies.
Free services don’t provide a quality meeting room experience.
Teams want to work together in a meeting room, but free services don’t offer
a high quality meeting room solution. It takes more than a webcam to create
a quality meeting room experience. The camera optics, user interface and
audio pickup all need to be designed for the demands of a meeting room.
Lifesize Cloud seamlessly integrates Lifesize® Icon™ room video systems,
providing the highest quality video, including a full PTZ camera, highest
audio quality, touch-screen interface and support for up to two HD displays.
Ask Yourself
•	Do you want a solution that
supports your day-to-day
collaboration needs—voice,
video, data sharing, meetings—
all in one solution?
•	Do you want a single solution
that can be used across mobile,
laptop and room-based video
systems?
•	Do you think the improved
security, quality, reliability and
management of a paid offering
can benefit your company?
•	Is having a common
directory across all of your
communications solutions
important?
•	Are you looking for the best
quality cloud video conferencing
service that is also simple,
intuitive and affordable?
Why Lifesize
Cloud Is the ONLY
Solution You Need
Free video solutions like Skype, Google
Hangouts and FaceTime were designed for
consumers to use in everyday, personal
communication. They lack many of the most
basic business needs, such as a common
company directory, business-class phone
support, security and a reliable, high quality
experience. More importantly, they do not
provide a meeting room experience designed
around the unique audio, video and user
experience demands of a business meeting.
Communication that’s
Designed for Business
You can start a video or audio call and add
more people instantly for a group call. You can
even schedule your meetings in advance.
All information on the competition is based on publicly available information.

everyone simply and instantly have real-
life meetings. Only Lifesize Cloud directly

Icon room video systems. They’re

mobile
devices. Lifesize Cloud comes with
integrated firewall traversal, direct dial
