Head to head
Google Meet
Google Meet wins on friction: a calendar invite becomes a working video call in one click, in any browser, with no client to install or update. Live captions, noise cancellation and Gemini-powered summaries come along on Workspace plans that many companies already pay for. It lacks Zoom's webinar depth and granular host controls, but for everyday internal meetings inside a Google shop, adding another tool is hard to justify.

Reported drawbacks

Webex
Webex predates its rivals by decades and retains the strengths of that heritage: hardened security, compliance certifications and reliability that regulated industries — government, healthcare, finance — still require. Cisco has modernized the interface and added AI summaries, closing much of the usability gap. It seldom wins on delight, but where procurement checklists mention FedRAMP or end-to-end encryption, Webex stays on the shortlist.
