Access the Market Study: Meeting Service Video Quality Assessment

Overview:

Testing video quality using a no-reference quality assessment model in a point-to-point video call.

Over the last 24 months, nearly every meeting service vendor has made dramatic improvements in features, quality, and security. The Futurum Group recognizes that each of these platforms – by virtue of being true cloud platforms – is agile in its approach to the development and deployment of enhancements. As such, quality evaluations represent a snapshot in time of rapidly evolving services.

The purpose of this evaluation is to provide a comparative analysis among several vendors of online meeting services. For this evaluation, Futurum Intelligence tested the trial versions of both BlueJeans Virtual Meetings and GoTo Meeting along with the free tier of RingCentral Video.

The evaluation was conducted in April 2022. This study is an independent analysis and scoring should not be weighed against any previous video quality analysis performed by Futurum or references performed by others.

A full test script is included at the conclusion of the document.
