When to Choose Microsoft Teams
Microsoft 365 organizations that want deeply integrated collaboration with enterprise-grade security and AI
Microsoft Teams is the obvious choice for M365 organizations. The collaboration depth is unmatched — chat, files, meetings, and apps all live in one place. Copilot AI is powerful but expensive as an add-on. For non-Microsoft shops, the value proposition weakens significantly.
Strengths
- Deepest Microsoft 365 integration — seamless with Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Office apps
- Copilot AI provides meeting recaps, action items, and intelligent search across all Teams content
- Exceptional enterprise security with HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, and data residency controls
- Free tier includes 100 participants and 60-minute group meetings
Limitations
- Copilot requires separate $30/user/mo add-on — not included in base plans
- Interface can feel complex and overwhelming for non-Microsoft shops
- Performance can be resource-heavy on older hardware
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
