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 8x8 Work
Global businesses that need unlimited international calling bundled with video conferencing and UCaaS
8x8 Work's standout feature is unlimited international calling to 48 countries, which is genuinely unique in the market. The video conferencing is solid but not exceptional. Best for global teams where the calling bundle justifies the price — for video-only needs, there are better options.
Strengths
- Unlimited international calling to 48 countries included — unique value for global teams
- AI meeting summaries and insights across voice, video, and messaging channels
- Strong compliance credentials for regulated industries (HIPAA, GDPR)
- Unified platform covering phone, video, chat, and contact center
Limitations
- No free tier — requires commitment to the full UCaaS platform
- AI features are less advanced than Zoom AI Companion or Dialpad
- Pricing not publicly listed — requires contacting sales for exact quotes
