What to evaluate

Capture quality

The tool needs reliable transcription and clear participant handling.

  • Speaker labels
  • Recording consent

  • Owners
  • Due dates

Data controls

Meetings can contain sensitive customer, hiring, or financial context.

  • Retention
  • Permissions
  • Admin controls

Pricing reality

Check recording limits, storage, AI summary quotas, CRM integrations, and whether external guests require paid seats.

Privacy and data risk

Meeting recordings and transcripts can include sensitive personal and commercial data. Consent, retention, and deletion settings are essential.

  2. Pick meeting types
  3. Connect task destination
  4. Review summaries manually
  5. Audit old recordings monthly

Red flags
