User Testimonials
	Cisco Meeting Server (discontinued)	VideoMost
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized AK Akshay K T Associate Engineer Software Read full review	We use it in the retail sphere. It is convenient to use screen sharing cause we work with lots of chats. I believe it is suitable for all types of companies due to VM's tools. It's difficult to say that it can be inappropriate for somebody because it is a thing that we use almost every day.

Cons	Add some of the features which are currently only accessible by API, this will reduce intervention of support team and downtime. Bring some features to foreground.

Alternatives Considered	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 But there solutions are mostly outdated.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.
