Pros & Cons
Openmeetings
Pros
Completely free and open source under the Apache License
Self-hostable for full control over meeting data and privacy
No per-user licensing fees regardless of meeting size
HTML5-based with no plugin requirements
Integrates with enterprise identity systems via LDAP and OAuth2
Cons
User interface is dated compared to modern tools like Zoom or Google Meet
Self-hosting requires server and media infrastructure expertise (Kurento setup)
Smaller community and slower release cadence than commercial competitors
Mobile experience is more limited than native mobile conferencing apps
Documentation can be sparse for advanced configuration scenarios
klaxoon
Pros
Large library of 200+ ready-to-use templates for agile ceremonies, retrospectives, and workshops
AI features (summarize, classify, translate, generate action plans) included on paid plans
Deep native integrations with Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Jira, Wrike, and Adobe Creative Cloud
Enterprise-grade admin controls including SAML 2.0 SSO and data residency options (EMEA/US)
Backed by Wrike/Citrix following the 2025 acquisition, adding task-management workflow continuity
Cons
Free plan is very limited (1 open activity, 5 editing participants, 500 MB storage)
Enterprise pricing is custom/quote-based, requiring a sales conversation for full feature access
AI features are capped by monthly action quotas, with extra usage sold as add-on packages
Recent rebrand to "Klaxoon by Wrike" may create uncertainty about the product's long-term standalone roadmap
