When to Choose Vonage Business Communications
Developers and businesses that need programmable video/voice APIs alongside basic UCaaS functionality
Vonage Business Communications is best appreciated by developers who need CPaaS APIs for custom video integration. The standard video conferencing is functional but unremarkable. For teams that don't need programmable APIs, there are better pure video conferencing options at similar or lower prices.
Strengths
- CPaaS APIs allow fully custom video integrations for developers building embedded video experiences
- Programmable video and voice APIs with global infrastructure (Vonage Communications Platform)
- Good CRM integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics
- Reliable voice quality built on Vonage's decades of telephony experience
Limitations
- Video conferencing features are basic compared to Zoom or Teams
- AI features are limited — no meeting summaries or real-time transcription
- No free tier for the UCaaS platform
