Large organisations stay on it because meetings, calling and the room hardware on the wall all come from one vendor with one admin console. The free plan costs nothing but caps meetings at 40 minutes and 100 attendees, and the enterprise tier is quoted by sales rather than published. Cisco Systems runs the whole thing from California in the United States.

Trusted by 170,000+ organisations across finance, education, healthcare and technology, ClickMeeting is the reference choice for European teams that want a browser-based webinar platform with strong monetisation features and sovereign EU data residency.
Why choose ClickMeeting over Webex?
The decisive argument is data jurisdiction. Webex is headquartered in the United States, which means personal data processed through it can be subject to non-EU legal regimes: the US CLOUD Act, FISA 702, or similar laws depending on the provider. After the 2020 Schrems II ruling, EU organisations must carry out a transfer impact assessment for every such data flow.
ClickMeeting removes that overhead. As a Poland-based provider, it operates under EU GDPR, and data stays inside the EU/EEA by default. For regulated sectors such as health, public administration, and finance, that's not a nice-to-have but a requirement. For everyone else, it's concentration-risk insurance: you avoid depending on a single jurisdiction that can change the rules without warning.
