Jitsi is quite a nightmare to work with, and presents a whole range of challenges and difficulties to use and support. Users often encounter difficulties with connecting, experience unexpected participant drops, struggle with subpar video quality, and face issues with loss of audio and visual streams. Unfortunately, there's also a complete lack of any adequate support tools, making it near impossible to address these concerns effectively.
The codebase of Jitsi is quite a tangled tightly coupled mess, exhibiting poor coding practices in Java. As a result, its performance is subpar, and it struggles to scale efficiently, especially in larger conferences. Even achieving consistent performance in smaller gatherings can prove to be a challenge. With respect to deployment, thats also another complicated mess. Browser version upgrades also often completely break the platform, requiring waiting for fixes then having to update and redeploy your entire system end to end because, as mentioned above, its very highly tightly coupled. You simply cannot compare this to native apps like zoom or teams.
While Jitsi might suffice for casual interactions among a small circle of friends, it pales in comparison to more reliable platforms like Zoom or even Discord. For those seeking a dependable alternative to platforms like Zoom, don't even bother with Jitsi as it falls far far short and will be a massive time and support money sink for your corporation.
