gey Makaryin, Development Director of Rupost LLC, at the conference "Choosing a Corporate Communications Platform" called the process of migration to domestic VKSs massive (according to his estimates, up to 75% of Russian companies are involved in it), but the full cycle of such a project, depending on the scale of the company, lasts from one to two years. He also admitted that many implementations of Russian products are formal and are almost never malta whatsapp resource used. In addition, Sergey Makaryin, citing personal experience, called the use of various solutions for corporate communications that employees install themselves, without notifying corporate IT, an extremely common practice, which leads to data leaks and other incidents.

also noted that the implementation of videoconferencing is associated with a large load on IT, since the transition to a new product has to be combined with maintaining the functionality of the legacy, which is also difficult in the conditions of the new reality.

Business development manager of Softline Group Anna Agapova named one of the main motives for continuing to purchase foreign VKS services as maintaining the infrastructure built on the basis of foreign systems: "The transition to domestic software is carried out as the maturity of comparability in technical and functional characteristics with foreign analogues increases. But a trend has already been set when businesses find a worthy alternative to foreign products. The whole point is that Russian developers listen to the wishes of end users and implement them in the shortest possible time."

Igor Malyshev, managing partner of the corporate communications and mobility platform Unlimited Production LLC (eXpress), assessed the quality of Russian solutions as high: in terms of ease of use and functionality, they are not only not inferior to foreign ones, but in some ways surpass them. However, he noted that many domestic vendors have entered the market, but the Russian market is very narrow, and there is room for only about five players, so its consolidation is inevitable, which may well become "bloody" and painful, including for users.

Dmitry Sery believes that the Russian market is oversaturated: "There are more than 10 players, and both startups and large corporations continue to enter the market with their developments in the field of video communications. The problem is that the term "video conferencing" on the market now covers all solutions, without taking into account their technological classes. This leads to confusion among customers and the introduction of irrelevant products. It is strange to combine and evaluate by uniform parameters a professional product of classical videoconferencing based on the SIP and H.323 protocols, the development of which took years, and a video communicator assembled from Open Source in six months. These products solve completely different problems and will suit different types of customers. And if suddenly the customer selects a solution without pilot testing in his infrastructure, only "according to the declared characteristics of the manufacturer", and the developer of a simplified inexpensive product includes in the description the capabilities of a professional solution, then the operation process will show the inability of the selected product to close the complex infrastructure tasks for which it was selected."

Pavel Skripnichenko, however, is much more optimistic: "I would assume that local developers are focused primarily on the domestic market. At the same time, Russian solutions are developing actively. I believe that it will not be easy for a new foreign player to enter the domestic online communications market."
