Cisco Meeting Server vs. StarLeaf (discontinued)

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.

StarLeaf is good because it is allowing our Company and global teams to create and conduct meetings and video calls. However, the mic often has issues as well as connection problems. The mobile app is excellent for joining the video conf calls.

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 But there solutions are mostly outdated.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.

Microsoft Teams, when I used, was far better than StarLeaf, on video, sound, and feature connections.

• More features are available in our meetings
• More connections to the colleagues through Cisco Meeting Server

Incentivized

• The capability of creating meetings with global teams.
• The connection with Lotus Notes calendar helps the team to manage the calendar and the meetings scheduled.
