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 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
