I would not call Zoom secure. Example: https://www.androidauthority.com/zoom-feature-freeze-1101693...
I would not call OP stated that "calls Zoom secure": "moderately secure, though flawed"
Work at a large Fortune 10 company and have tried all the major players (I think) - Google, Teams, Skype, Zoom, GotoMeeting, Webex, Join.me, etc.
Webex seems to be the least worst and is fairly reliable and generally works everywhere under all kinds of load (we have meetings that range from a few folks to multiple hundreds with no issues).
Definitely not the prettiest software but it gets the job done.
Zoom is still the best performing software. Alternatives fail in various ways. I wrote Emergency Remote[0], and for some companies thrown into the situation it is best to use it anyway. They can't handle more trouble during this time. [0] https://www.emergencyremote.com/EmergencyRemote.pdf
I fundamentally disagree. Webex has been around longer and despite the zoom founder trying to trash it, has been more reliable for me. They just apparently spent their money on building an enterprise-worthy app instead of marketing. https://help.webex.com/en-us/n80v1rcb/Cisco-Webex-Available-...
Webex is free right now, they just haven't really marketed it: https://help.webex.com/en-us/n80v1rcb/Cisco-Webex-Available-... Hangouts Meet which I've had bad luck with but others have told me works well is free: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/g-suite/helping-busin... And MS Teams has a free trial (had good luck with this as well but don't like the interface as much as webex): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us…

The Free Software Foundation refers to free as in freedom and not free as in cost.
Has anyone tried any of these FSF sanctioned tools? I'd love to have my bias be proven wrong.

Jitsi is the primarily recommended alternative video conferencing tool here, which hasn't had anywhere near the security scrutiny that Zoom has had. I'd prefer to use the tool that we understand is moderately secure, though flawed, rather than the tool that is a security unknown. It seems a little much to recommend Jitsi as 'better', when nobody is really sure of that.
