HP Poly PrivateConnect powered by Pexip-Perpetual Virtual Meeting Room addon Lic per VMR

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

HP Poly PrivateConnect with the Pexip “perpetual” Virtual Meeting Room add-on is the kind of thing that *sounds* simple on paper, but it’s really a seat/time-in-place commitment for organisations that need reliable inbound meeting rooms without constantly babysitting infrastructure. If you’re a UK business that has mixed endpoints (different camera setups, room systems, mobile users, occasional “we just need it to work” external guests) and your current setup struggles with connectivity, transcoding, or firewall realities, this combo can be good value—because Pexip-style meeting rooms tend to reduce those “can’t join / can’t connect” incidents that cost more time than the licence ever will.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you already have a mature conferencing platform you’re happy with, or if you only need occasional ad-hoc meetings where a standard cloud meeting model would be cheaper and easier to administer. Also, at ~£1,275 ex-VAT per VMR licence, it needs a clear, steady use case—multiple recurring meetings, predictable room demand, or a real requirement to host virtual rooms in a controlled way. If you tell me roughly how many recurring meeting rooms/users you expect and whether you’re replacing something or adding on top, I can give you a straight “yes, likely worth it” or “no, you’ll regret the overhead” verdict.
