Vidyo

Welcome

Vidyo changes how enterprises leverage video communication and collaboration. Enterprises now require software video infrastructure, video as a service (VaaS) and innovative form factors to best address their video collaboration needs. In addition they need a video conferencing approach that provides customization, the ability to directly embed into workflow applications, IoT devices, like glasses, and an unmatched video experience over mobile that can scale. These factors change the game for video conferencing and make it a more efficient tool in the work place.

Vidyo has an all software-based offering including Video as a Service (VaaS), on-premises and hybrid solutions; we believe that is why Vidyo is again positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Group Video Systems for the second year in a row. We are pleased to have moved up and to the right in the "Leaders" quadrant and believe that this acknowledgement recognizes a discernable shift in the video conferencing market from the approach of incumbent providers.

Vidyo recently introduced VidyoCloud, a hosted collaboration solution, ideal for any organization, and a developer-focused platform-as-a-service solution– VidyoIO™ (see here for a beta invite). Vidyo’s APIs and SDK let enterprises build communications solutions based on Vidyo’s core technology, delivering maximum flexibility and customization. Vidyo powers the #1 healthcare app on the Apple App Store, video-enables the leading ATM provider as well as the leading Electronic Health Record (EHR) provider in healthcare, numerous video-powered contact centers and the fastest growing smartphone manufacturer and messaging platform in the largest ecommerce marketplace in the world.

Software video infrastructure, video as a service and innovative form factors are reshaping video collaboration. We review eight vendors with the necessary reach, scale and interoperability for the global enterprise market so that IT infrastructure and operations leaders can make an informed choice.

Market Definition/Description

This document was revised on 15 July 2016. The document you are viewing is the corrected version. For more information, see the Corrections page on gartner.com.

Group video systems primarily serve the need for high quality video interaction across a range of meeting room sizes and endpoint types, including soft clients and mobile devices. They also include the requisite infrastructure to connect these endpoints for point-to-point and multipoint conference calls. The infrastructure to support video interaction is deployed on-premises, consumed from cloud providers "as a service," or as a hybrid of the two.

In addition to one or more screens of video, these systems allow for content-sharing collaboration functions, as well as integration with unified communications (UC) platforms. As participants join meetings from outside the conference room, these collaborative systems accommodate desktop and mobile endpoints while providing continuity of experience across all device types. These systems also allow for interoperability with standards-based endpoints such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.323, and WebRTC.

In 2016, group videoconferencing is a $3.3 billion market, declining slightly (−1.3% annually) through 2020. The elements of group video systems evaluated as part of this document include the following:

When rating group video systems in this Magic Quadrant, we considered several important factors, including the following:

Clearly demonstrated market traction with large enterprise or public sector customers
Product range, including the ability to span from large dedicated video rooms to personal and mobile endpoints
The scope, quality and innovation of content-sharing tools available with the product
Innovation in endpoint design, cloud-based infrastructure and user experience
Ability to directly facilitate reach and interoperability, including different signaling, endpoint types, video codecs and network transport
The availability and functionality of tools to provision and manage endpoints and infrastructure to facilitate ease of use
Product quality, especially in dedicated room systems and modular room systems
