Where each one falls short

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

BlueJeans

  • Shut down. Verizon announced the closure on 8 August 2023 and wound the service down through the first half of 2024, starting with the Basic tier and free trials on 31 August 2023
  • bluejeans.com no longer resolves
  • Verizon bought it for $400 million in 2020 and closed it citing a changing market, so there is no successor product to move to within the same vendor

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
