When to Choose Cisco Webex

Existing Cisco enterprise customers and government organizations that need FedRAMP-authorized video conferencing

Cisco Webex remains a strong security and compliance play, with FedRAMP authorization and Zero Trust architecture that few competitors can match. However, the platform has lost significant market momentum. The interface feels dated, the integration ecosystem is thin, and collaboration features trail Zoom and Teams by a noticeable margin. For security-first government and enterprise use cases it still delivers, but teams choosing a new platform today will likely find better options elsewhere.

Strengths

  • Industry-leading security with E2EE, FedRAMP authorization, and Zero Trust architecture
  • AI Assistant with real-time translation in 120+ languages included on paid plans
  • Super Resolution AI enhances video quality on low-bandwidth connections
  • Strong compliance credentials for government and regulated industries

Limitations

  • Interface feels dated and clunky compared to Zoom, Teams, and newer competitors
  • Market momentum has shifted — declining adoption outside existing Cisco enterprise customers
  • Integration ecosystem is limited compared to Zoom or Teams marketplaces

When to Choose Dialpad Meetings

AI-first teams that want the most advanced real-time transcription and conversation intelligence built into every meeting

Dialpad Meetings punches above its weight with AI features. The transcription accuracy (trained on 3B+ minutes) is genuinely best-in-class, and AI Recap on all plans is generous. Collaboration tools need work to compete with Zoom or Teams, but for AI-powered meeting intelligence, Dialpad is a standout.

Strengths

  • Best-in-class AI transcription trained on 3B+ minutes — custom vocabulary support for industry jargon
  • AI Recap with action items included on all plans, not just premium tiers
  • Live AI Coach Cards surface real-time conversation tips during calls
  • Moment detection and CSAT scoring for customer-facing teams

Limitations

  • Collaboration tools (whiteboard, breakout rooms) lag behind Zoom and Teams
  • Free tier limited to 10 participants
  • Smaller integration marketplace than the Big 3 (Zoom, Teams, Meet)
