Jitsi

Avantages

C'est un outils de visio conférence somme toute assez basique. Il permet de faire des appels vidéos, des partages d'écran et d'avoir un chat.

Inconvénients

Malheureusement, Jitsi a eu beaucoup de problème chez nous avec de nombreux bugs, dont des erreurs de connexion pour les clients ou l'impossibilité d'entendre ou d'être entendu... Cela a rendu souvent l'utilisation très compliquée.

Avantages

La simplicité et la facilité d'utilisation pour lancer et rejoindre une réunion en ligne

Inconvénients

La stabilité pourrait être amélioré pour plus de navigateurs

Avantages

C'est une solution libre, qui permet de faire quasiment tout ce qui est nécessaire : présentation, partage d'écran, visio, appel audio, chat.

Inconvénients

Nombreux bugs, avec des utilisateurs qu'on n'entend pas, qui ne nous voient pas, des partages d'écran qui plantent, des options qui manquerait, comme pouvoir mettre en silencieux quelqu'un d'autres.

Avantages

Simple a utiliser, toujours la même chose à faire pour le mettre en route et l'utiliser. Les règlages sont faciles à comprendre

Inconvénients

Il beug parfois. On doit le fermer et le réouvrir pour qu'il refonctionne ou éteindre et rallumer l'ordinateur

Avantages

Safety features and easy access are most liked features as i don't even require to login to join a meeting and I simply join by joining link and private password.

Inconvénients

I didn't found any lacunae in this app as its safe, secure and end to end encrypted security feature app which also protects privacy of people and professions.

Avantages

Jitsi is the best open-source and free video conferencing tool. Where every tool in the market charges a lot just to provide some basic features, it comes with all of the advanced features yet at no cost. We don't need to create an account either; we just need to give a name to our meeting and it'll generate a link for us to share it with the other participants to join. The audio and video output are in high definition quality. Meetings can be embedded almost everywhere or can be integrated with any other software. The UI is neat, and there is a big community backing it if anything unpleasant occurs. This ultimate free tool comes with a bundle of advanced features: live screen presentation, live public and private chat, security option, noise suppression, audio-video sharing, live streaming, etc.

Inconvénients

There are a few drawbacks, which I realized. There is a limit of 100 participants. It won't help if an organization needs to have more than 100 people at a conference. As it doesn't require an account to begin with a meeting, sometimes random people join a meeting if one forgets to set a meeting password. Sometimes voices begin to break for all of the participants if End-to-End Encryption is turned on.

Avantages

I have been using this software for my online classes. It allows you to connect with several people one at a time. It also has options to share messages with the participants.

Inconvénients

One of the major lacking in jitsi is that it crashes alot and sometimes it does not connect you in the meeting. It does not allow screen sharing options and also do not allow you to share documents. There are better options available in market that have better features in terms of video conferencing an

Avantages

I like, that Jitsi is open-source and under constant development. The interface has been renewed some time ago and it now looks good on desktop Pcs as well as on mobile devices. The video quality is also good. You can now also use polls to have realtime votes. Jitsi offers a lot of features and is also able to run big conferences now. What I like as well is, that anyone can use it for free and easily invite other participants by just sending a link.

Inconvénients

Jitsi has some trouble working on older computers. This is why the system that is used should be pretty new. Also breakout-rooms are not integrated yet. The developers say, that it will be implemented soon.

Pourquoi passer à Jitsi

Avantages

While conferencing with colleges, if the meeting moderator left from the meeting, it automatically assigns anyone to a moderator. It will not end the meeting if the moderator left from the meeting. Another impressive feature is that you can record entire conference or meeting sessions. Along with screen sharing, private chat while conferencing and live chat, it provides high-quality audio and video streaming.

Inconvénients

Of all the features, only they do not support remote access control for the web version, but that is not a major problem. I understand that providing remote access control for the web is not feasible when considering security.

Pourquoi passer à Jitsi

Avantages

As a user, the best part about Jitsi is that it doesn't need for people you invite to a conference to register anywhere. You only need to provide them the link to click and Voila! they're in the conference! The audio and video quality is awesome! It also has a feature that makes peer to peer conference in case there are only two people in the conference. It automagically switches to conference mode the moment a third participant joins the conference.

Inconvénients

A con about Jitsi is that, if you're setting it up in your server, there aren't very detailed guides on how to set up each one of the components that it needs to work (although they aren't part of jitsi itself, but would be desirable to have a guide for installing and setting up each component).
Also, if you download and want to modify the source, there isn't a very detailed step-by-step that tells you how to do it for each one of the components (there is the mobile app and the web application).

Avantages

The only solution on the market that is :
- Freely and independently auditable for highest security standards (open source)
- Server can be installed on premises if cloud does not offer enough privacy
- Perfecly works on Linux/Mac/Win/Android/IOS
- Do no require you to register/login or send you personal data before using the service. (Does not track you)

Interesting features:
- Can focus clients on the users that speaks (voice detection on microphone).
- Since it can be installed on premises, it's possible to have very low latency.

Additionally, it's totally free and open source. Best value in 2020.

Inconvénients

- Some problems with Firefox when presenter, but works with Chrome. FF ok if just client.
- Not possible to resize webcam incrustation when sharing screen. (Just on or off).

Avantages

I really like the fact that this tool is really easy to use, you just need to access the website, chose what you need, and as easy as that you can create a room to have a virtual meeting with co-workers, prospects, or even with your family. This is a great tool when chosing from other options, and specially because time is important for me and my clients.

Inconvénients

I don't like the fact that I need to write a name for the room meeting, I think is a good idea but it can be created automatically, and not having to write something that might sound weird to the participants at the meeting.

Avantages

Ease of deployment and invitations to a meeting is unsurpassed. No downloads required, meeting IDs or Passcodes to enter. No time limits and absolutely free!

Inconvénients

Screen sharing capability could be much easier. Would love to be able to select an area, rather than just a particular window.

Avantages

Very easy access, high quality, hardly no connection problem, easy to set up meeting rooms and to share the access details, free software to use without log-in or creating an account

Inconvénients

limited features in the free version, but still sufficient for the required scope of use

Pourquoi choisir Jitsi 

Logiciel antérieur 

Pourquoi passer à Jitsi

Avantages

The screen sharing. Jitsi allows screen sharing easily and conveniently without any straining.

Inconvénients

The screen recording features. The feature misbehaves sometimes.

Avantages

Jitsi besticht durch eine einfache Handhabung - die URL ist einfach der Raumname. Der Funktionsumfang entspricht gängigen anderen Videokonferenzsystemen, inklusive Hintergrundbild oder Breakoutrooms. Es muss nichts installiert werden, aber es gibt auch Apps für Smartphone oder Desktop wenn Jitsi häufig verwendet wird.

Inconvénients

Die Ursprünge der Entwicklung von Jitsi sind zwar in Europa, aber es wurde von 8x8 in den USA übernommen und der Servcie wird über AWS Infrastruktur betrieben. Auch sind Google Analytics oder CallStats als externe Dienste aktiviert, die IP Adressen auswerten. Somit ist der Service meet.jit.si nicht DSGVO konform.

Avantages

I like that when i am in a group meeting, i can send a private message to a specific person

Inconvénients

It needs a good internet connection and sometimes the voice becomes bad

Avantages

Sin duda, el hecho de que sea tan fácil de usar y además gratuita. A diferencia de Zoom, no tiene un límite de tiempo por reunión. Además, no necesitas descargar ningún programa... ¡Ni siquiera hay que crear una cuenta! Es tan fácil de usar que parece que tiene "trampa", pero no es así.

Inconvénients

Tiene opciones menos avanzadas que sus competidoras. También tiende a ralentizarse cuando hay mucha gente conectada. Si solo quieres usar Jitsi para reuniones rápidas o videoconferencias con pocos usuarios, no debería haber problema.

Avantages

Lo que mas me gusta es que te permite estar conectado con compañeros, familia, amigos, etc. y te brinda la posibilidad de hacerlo tanto desde el navegador como desde la aplicación. Es muy sencillo de usar para quien no ha tenido ningún tipo de acercamiento a este tipo de aplicaciones y es bastante fácil descubrir las herramientas integradas en el programa, lo recomiendo bastante para seguir en contacto.

Inconvénients

Lo que menos me gusta es que con frecuencia se silencia el micrófono por errores en la aplicación, fuera de eso no hay nada que me disguste y es una alternativa fantástica para seguir en contacto.

Avantages

Very easy to just hop in a call with anyone that has a browser.

Inconvénients

By default, screen sharing framerate is very low (5 fps) but you can usually set it higher in the settings.

Avantages

Easy to use as a user - my colleagues who set up the meetings where we use Jitsi say it's not so good as an administrator but I can't say. User experience is OK - not as smooth as some other platforms though

Inconvénients

Often problems where someone in the meeting suddenly is "kicked out" of the meeting or their sound or video doesn'T work. This only happens when using the online version, not with the app...

Avantages

When you create a meeting, you are always able to re-enter to the same meeting with the same link, even after you close the application.
The Video and the audio have a very good quality.
And there is no limitation for time snd number of participants for any meeting.

Inconvénients

The meeting already created, does not save the privacy done by the creator of it.
Anyone could be an admin for a meeting, anyone can mute all participants, anyone can enable or disable the lobby functionality.

Avantages

Transition between people during the meeting are really nice. Also quality of meetings and, obviously price.

Inconvénients

Recording is really flaky. It needs external solution (jibri) and it's failing quite often. Deployment is a nightmare and you need skilled IT team to have it running reliably.

Avantages

ease of use, I can search the history of my calls with info regarding duration and time call was made

Inconvénients

User experience needs some updates. It crashes sometimes.
It disconnected/lost the microphone sometimes, and has to reconnect i.

Avantages

Its speed in setting up,and its ease if use

Inconvénients

Not many of my colleagues are open to the idea of using jitsu
