Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Genesys Cloud

All four published tiers are billed annually
The published rates are named user licences tied to a specific person, so a shift based operation cannot share a seat
Concurrent user licences, which is what shift work needs, are sold at a premium above these rates
Entry pricing is $75 per user per month, rising to $240 on the top tier

Panopto

No price list is published, and the vendor states there are no tiers at all
Cost depends on user count, integrations, add ons and deployment model, so several negotiated variables set the figure
Four capabilities are separately priced add ons on top of any quote
Every route to a figure is a demo or a conversation with sales
