Enterprises requiring FedRAMP / HIPAA (Zoom, Teams, Webex better), Microsoft 365 organizations (Teams bundle wins), Windows-first shops, or any buyer wanting vendor-stability assurance over modern UX.
Distributed remote-first design and engineering teams (10-200 employees) on macOS prioritizing modern UX and audio quality, who can absorb vendor-stability risk on contracts under 12 months.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Around’s product card in our Top 10 Video Conferencing Software for 2026:
- ! Vendor stability uncertainty after late-2024 wind-down rumors, buyer diligence required
- ! Less penetration than Zoom, Teams, Google Meet
- ! Narrow integration ecosystem (50 integrations versus 500+ for leaders)
- ! No FedRAMP, HIPAA, or enterprise compliance posture
- ! macOS-first means weaker Windows experience
- ! Mobile experience less polished than desktop
- ! Limited UCaaS / phone story
