HP Poly 1 Year Pexip Direct Software Service Poly PrivateConnect powered by Pexip - Perpetual Video Capacity 1 year(s)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re already using HP Poly room endpoints or Poly software ecosystems and you want to bolt on private, managed video interoperability without going down the “build and run everything myself” route, this kind of Pexip/PrivateConnect service can be genuinely good value. It’s the sort of thing that saves admin time and reduces risk—particularly for companies that need reliable external connectivity and want it to be handled as a service rather than a bespoke project. The fact it’s priced as a one-year direct software service makes it a sensible add-on for pilots, annual compliance cycles, or keeping collaboration running smoothly without surprise platform work.

That said, at ~£1.6k ex-VAT for a year, I wouldn’t buy it just because “video conferencing costs something.” Only go for it if you actually need the PrivateConnect/Pexip capability in your workflows (external/managed calls, interop, and that private connectivity model). If you’re purely doing internal meetings between known endpoints and you already have meeting infrastructure that works fine, this is likely paying for complexity you don’t need. Also, sanity-check renewal and what “perpetual video capacity” means in your licensing context—make sure you understand how it scales with additional users/sites, otherwise you can end up overpaying while thinking you’ve locked in value.

**Who should buy:** UK businesses with Poly hardware/software that need dependable private/external video connectivity and prefer a managed licensing path. **Who should not:** teams that only need basic internal calling, or anyone who hasn’t confirmed they’ll use the specific PrivateConnect/Pexip features during the year.
