Cisco Meeting Server (discontinued) vs. Jitsi Meet

Cisco meeting Server can be used to host meeting for a small group 2 people and also can host meeting for hundreds of people. Even if the scalability increases no compromise in the call and consistent performance can be observed. The video quality is clear and there is no noticeable latency between audio and video. The recording feature is well placed and it helps a lot in rectifying and processing the important points that might have been left out during the meeting.

I think anyone can use host a meeting using Jitsi easily. It has user-friendly UI. It can be used for daily meetings, small online conferences, etc. Jitsi is best for having a quick conference call without having to think of its setup process. You can also create a separate lobby for people to wait while other people are busy talking in the main room.

Apart from Cisco Meeting Server, only Poly offers full fledged on-premise meeting server. Their solution is called Polycom RealPresence
Collaboration Server. But there solutions are mostly outdated. Even though they have recently changes to subscription via Poly Clarity but servers are still very old. Whereas Cisco Meeting Server was recently updated and integrates well with WebEx and Cisco's other products.

For me, the main feature that separates Jitsi from other is the way how I can host a meeting. I can have both a public room as well as a secure private room with a password.

• Good and robust collaboration tool which helped.
• Easy integration with surrounding tools like MS office was great advantage.
• Sharing recorded content wasn't easy, so had to use screen capture sometimes, which was not great.

• All in all, jitsi has made the communication between team members easy. Hosting a small meeting is not that difficult so people wo are working from home do not hesitate to start a meet whenever they feel needed.
• Remote working is not possible without proper communication and jitsi has been used for communication in my organization. So, it has been a very usefull tool for us.
