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
When to Choose Jitsi Meet
Privacy-conscious users, open source advocates, and organizations with self-hosting capability that want free, secure video conferencing
Jitsi Meet is the best free video conferencing platform, period. Open source, no account required, E2EE available, and self-hostable for complete control. The trade-off is the absence of AI features and the lack of commercial support. For organizations that can self-host and don't need AI, Jitsi is hard to beat at the price (free).
Strengths
- 100% free and open source — no paid plans, no feature restrictions, no user limits
- Self-hosted option for complete data sovereignty and privacy
- End-to-end encryption support for security-conscious organizations
- No account needed — create or join a meeting instantly via browser
Limitations
- No AI features — no transcription, summaries, or intelligent automation
- Quality can degrade with more than 35-50 participants on the free hosted version
- No commercial support — relies on community for troubleshooting
