Best open-source video conferencing solution for integrations at ease.

  • October 25, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Jitsi is its capability to scale. I have been using Jitsi for almost 2 + years now, and it has never disappointed me. New features are continuously being added on the fly. They listen to the suggestion and make them available. They also have a dedicated support mechanism to deliver customer success.
On top of that, their APIs are very developer friendly. I remember creating rooms in the year 2020, which are still retained. Kudos to the Jitsi team.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no cons, but there should be a feature similar to the lobby, which restricts participant access unless allowed by the host. I also feel there should be a mechanism to add the uses on the fly via sending invitations over emails. Can think of adding SMTP based emailing feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were working on Jitsi's developed technology for a client who did not want to pay for proprietary software; they were non-profit making orgs, working for nature. We implemented a solution for them over Jitsi's freely available tier. We were able to retain that project on cost constraints only because of Jitsi.

Worth a Shot

  • December 13, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
IT'S 100% FREE!!! This factor sticks out and is very beneficial to those on a limited budget. It's also a smart choice for those who are just trying to connect on a platform without any attachment.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with most programs, I had heard there were some glitches when a video chat occurred. It was not continuous, just a quick hiccup, but sometimes it would kick people out and take them a little longer to get back in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is finding a cost-effective program for those connecting on video platforms.

Easy to use videoconference software

  • November 23, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user doesn't need additional software to enter the conference room since they only need a Web browser to join. Additionally Jisti can be integrated to other apps (Web or mobile), thanks to their SDK.

Since Jitsi can be self-hosted, it can be customized far more than Zoom or be cheaper than other SaaS offerings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jitsi transfers the moderator role to another user when the person disconnects, thus making it insecure for some use cases. Also there is no simple way to have authenticated users to restrict access to a conference room.

Another thing lacking is the recording backend. There is no easy way to integrate with s3 or another solution (outside dropbox) and provide the recording link to the user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Jitsi to coordinate our daily meetings and integrate with our existing platform to provide videoconferencing capabilities as an option. Since the pandemic, we have used the Jitsi SDK to allow our users to communicate using our existing apps, thus reducing their need to interact personally.
