Zoom

88/100

Zoom dominates for sales, marketing, and training teams that host webinars and external client calls due to superior reliability and brand recognition. IT departments value the granular admin controls and extensive security settings. However, teams wanting a single-vendor voice, video, and contact center solution will struggle with Zoom's fragmented licensing compared to 8x8’s unified platform.

Rocket.Ch...

62/100

Engineering and cybersecurity teams benefit from self-hosting capabilities and open-source auditability. Sales and support teams typically struggle without native dial-in numbers and AI transcription features. Requires DevOps resources to optimize video infrastructure for mid-market scale.

Adoption RiskExpected friction, training effort, and behavior change needed to move teams onto the alternative.
