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 Pexip

Large enterprises with existing video room infrastructure that need interoperability across platforms and self-hosted security

Pexip occupies a unique niche as the interoperability specialist. If your organization needs to connect legacy SIP/H.323 systems with modern Teams or Meet rooms, Pexip is one of the few platforms that does it well. The limited AI features and high entry cost make it a poor fit for teams seeking a primary video conferencing tool.

Strengths

  • Only Microsoft-certified Cloud Video Interop (CVI) provider that supports self-hosted deployment
  • Cross-platform interoperability — connects SIP, H.323, Teams, and Google Meet rooms seamlessly
  • Self-hosted option for organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements
  • Purpose-built for complex enterprise and government meeting room environments

Limitations

  • Limited AI features compared to mainstream consumer-facing platforms
  • No free tier and pricing is enterprise-focused — not suitable for small teams
  • Setup complexity is high — designed for IT teams, not end users
