If independently validated enterprise security certifications (SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001) are a hard procurement requirement and the organization will not accept vendor-provided statements without certificates.
If the primary requirement is a general-purpose, widely adopted video-conferencing platform where organizations are prepared to manage scheduling manually and prioritize platform familiarity and large-scale reliability guarantees.
If the buyer requires fully transparent public pricing for all modules without engaging sales for quotations.
