Pexip vs TrueConf: at a glance
What is Pexip?
Pexip Infinity v40 lands as a maintenance-grade release.
The recent feed is dominated by the Pexip Infinity v40 release notes — upgrade procedure, changelog, resolved issues, known limitations — alongside the prior v39.1 release. The v40 release itself notes 'no significant changes' in functionality, suggesting this is a stability/security cut rather than a feature push.
What is TrueConf?
TrueConf takes its on-prem pitch to GITEX after a month of PHP patches.
A critical PHP vulnerability in TrueConf Server's web service (PHP2Shell, all versions through 5.5.7) drove a security advisory, the 5.5.8 release and matching 5.4.11 and 5.3.11 updates. TrueConf Room gained better calendar-connector handling. Since then the feed is event marketing, with recaps of ADIPEC and plans for GITEX GLOBAL.
Pexip vs TrueConf: editorial side-by-side
Pexip
5.0MEETINGS
Pexip Infinity v40 lands as a maintenance-grade release.
◆ Current state
The recent feed is dominated by the Pexip Infinity v40 release notes — upgrade procedure, changelog, resolved issues, known limitations — alongside the prior v39.1 release. The v40 release itself notes 'no significant changes' in functionality, suggesting this is a stability/security cut rather than a feature push.
◆ Where it's heading
Pexip is operating in classic enterprise-on-prem mode: regular versioned releases with multi-step upgrade paths, security bulletins, and detailed end-of-life announcements. There is no visible AI or cloud-native pivot in the current notes. The product is being maintained for the install base it already has, not reshaped for a new buyer.
◆ Prediction
Expect a v40.x point release within 4–6 weeks addressing v40 known limitations, and continued biannual major versions. The next directional signal would be either an AI-meeting feature inside the web app or a cloud-managed deployment option — neither is hinted at in this batch.
TrueConf
5.0MEETINGS
TrueConf takes its on-prem pitch to GITEX after a month of PHP patches.
◆ Current state
A critical PHP vulnerability in TrueConf Server's web service (PHP2Shell, all versions through 5.5.7) drove a security advisory, the 5.5.8 release and matching 5.4.11 and 5.3.11 updates. TrueConf Room gained better calendar-connector handling. Since then the feed is event marketing, with recaps of ADIPEC and plans for GITEX GLOBAL.
◆ Where it's heading
TrueConf sells on-premises communications to regulated and industrial customers, and recent releases are mostly about keeping several supported server versions patched. Feature work, such as quick polls and chatbot buttons in 5.5.6, comes in smaller monthly steps.
◆ Prediction
Expect the November security update and a 5.5.9 server release, with feature work resuming in the 5.5 line.
