When to Choose Google Meet
Google Workspace organizations and teams that prioritize simplicity and browser-based meetings
Google Meet delivers the cleanest, most frictionless meeting experience. Gemini AI integration is genuinely useful for note-taking and summaries, and the browser-based approach means zero installation headaches. It lacks some power features, but for Google Workspace users, it's the natural choice.
Strengths
- Gemini AI integration with "Take notes for me" feature and automatic meeting summaries
- Seamless Google Workspace integration — Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Gmail
- No download needed — fully browser-based with excellent mobile apps
- Adaptive audio reduces echo when multiple laptops are in the same room
Limitations
- Fewer advanced features than Zoom or Teams — no built-in whiteboard in meetings
- AI features require Workspace Business Standard or higher plans
- Limited breakout room controls compared to Zoom
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
