Detailed Review
Pexip AS is at Lilleakerveien 2A in Oslo, organisation number 819 850 232, and is listed on the Oslo exchange under the ticker PEXIP; contracting runs through subsidiaries including Pexip Inc in Delaware and Pexip Belgium, but the parent is Norwegian.
The job it does that nobody else in this category does is interoperability at the hardware level: joining existing meeting-room systems to Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, and running the whole platform on-premises, in a private cloud, or air-gapped with no internet connection at all. It is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 with the ISO 27017 and 27018 controls, and to ISO/IEC 27701 for privacy management.
The catch is in Pexip's own subprocessor list, and it is a large one for this site.
The hosted Pexip Service runs on Google Cloud, with points of presence in the EU and EEA but also in the UK, the US, Canada, Brazil, Singapore, Japan and Australia, and uses Microsoft Azure for Teams interoperability.
A Norwegian company on American cloud is not the same thing as a Norwegian company on Norwegian hardware, and only the self-hosted deployment avoids it. If European infrastructure is the reason you are reading this guide, the hosted service is not the product you want.
Pexip publishes no price list — every plan routes to a sales conversation — and documents no trial. The software is not open source, and Norway is in the EEA rather than the EU, which the GDPR does not care about but some public procurement rules do.
What Pexip does well
- ISO/IEC 27001 with 27017 and 27018 controls, plus ISO/IEC 27701
- Runs on-premises, in a private cloud, or fully air-gapped
- Joins meeting-room hardware to Microsoft Teams and Google Meet
- Norwegian parent company, listed on the Oslo exchange
Where Pexip falls short
- The hosted service runs on Google Cloud, with Microsoft Azure for Teams interop
- Hosted points of presence include the US, Canada, Brazil, Singapore, Japan and Australia
- No public price list — sales contact only
- No trial documented on the site
- Not open source
Standout feature. Air-gapped video conferencing: Pexip is the one product here that a network with no connection to the internet can still run.
