01Competitive Landscape

Top competitors chosen for comparison

Zoom Workplace (feature-rich meetings and webinars)
Microsoft Teams (collaboration hub with Microsoft 365 integration)
Cisco Webex Meetings (enterprise conferencing with Cisco ecosystem)

Narrative analysis

- Meet versus Zoom: Zoom is often selected when organizations run frequent external webinars and require advanced production and integration capabilities. Meet is frequently selected when integration with Google Workspace and simple browser-based joining are priorities. - Meet versus Teams: Teams is often selected where Microsoft 365 is the organizational standard and where centralized governance and compliance tooling within M365 are important. Meet is typically preferred in Google Workspace-native environments. - Meet versus Webex: Webex is commonly selected in security-conscious enterprises with existing Cisco investments. Meet is typically simpler for small and medium teams adopting a browser-first approach.
