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 Zoho Meeting

Zoho ecosystem users and budget-conscious small businesses that need reliable, affordable video meetings

Zoho Meeting is the ultimate budget pick at $1/host/mo. If you're already in the Zoho ecosystem, it integrates beautifully with CRM, Projects, and other Zoho apps. The complete lack of AI features is a significant gap in 2026, but for basic meetings at an unbeatable price, it delivers.

Strengths

  • Incredibly affordable at $1/host/mo — the cheapest paid option in our roundup
  • Deep integration with the Zoho ecosystem of 35+ business apps
  • Free tier supports 10 participants for 60-minute meetings
  • Clean, straightforward interface with low learning curve

Limitations

  • No AI features — no transcription, summaries, or intelligent automation
  • Limited functionality outside the Zoho ecosystem
  • Basic video quality and collaboration tools compared to market leaders
