Pros

In the simplest form of Video Conferencing, they work for small meetings
In some of the newer models, the video quality is pretty darn good if you can support the bandwidth
The table-top phone/speaker integrates nicely

Cons

Lack of features or options to integrate with other solutions
Audio was just ok. If it was a meeting with more than 3-4 people, it seemed it was too much
I had a hard time with support. They were not very responsive and felt like an up-hill battle at times.

Return on Investment

They have certainly helped reduce costs in travel, but as you can tell from this review, we've outgrown the limitations of Lifesize Video Conferencing.
Dealing with support is certainly a negative.

Pros

I feel more reliable and secure to get started with this tool.
Quality audio video services.
Screen Sharing is on of the most efficient way of communication with others.
Meeting scheduling is also a fantastic and easy.

Cons

I think side by size the audio option should provide the messaging option as well because sometimes I need to discuss the thing with few members and all the time callings are not carried out.
Further while having a conference call I face a buffering situation in the background.

Return on Investment

Reliable conferencing platform in the market.
It is incredibly cost effective.
Enhanced efficiencies.
Improving productivity.

Pros

Video resolution when it works is great. But it has frequent issues.
Screen sharing is good when it works but has frequent issues.
The ability to invite people to meetings is great but the user interface to schedule those is not user friendly. So we have few people that can use it remotely other than a few power users and people that join one of our two conference rooms that have the dedicated unit.

Cons

The quality of service (QOS) varies greatly. We have constant lag and other issues that make it difficult to use and cause a great deal of frustration. When it works, its great but our users think it's a joke.
Remote users have horrible QOS.
Easier scheduling system to send invites out using web interface that ties into Outlook.
