We use the tool for internal and client meetings, webinars, and presentations. 

The tool simplifies our work by allowing us to have hybrid meetings instead of always meeting in person, which saves time in organizing these meetings. It also offers good video quality.

Webex helps to prevent unwanted guests from popping up in your meeting. 
The video quality is fine, and I wouldn't expect it to be better. I'm not sure about the computing resources required to optimize the video delivery, though.

On Webex, I find the option to capture the talking points of each participant valuable. Also, features like adding emojis during live presentations help in getting live feedback from participants.

The security features are quite robust because they allow you only to permit entry from participants authorized by the organizer.

The product needs to improve its integration.  I'm not sure how difficult it is for the IT team to set up the integration. Once set up, it's easy but still not as straightforward as other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, where everything is within the same technical environment. To ensure further security, face authentication should also be added for all internal corporate users logged into the platform.

I have been using the product for a few years. 

Webex is stable. 

The tool is scalable since it can support big audiences. My company has 30 users, but I've worked in previous corporations where we had tens of thousands of users.

The tool's deployment is complex compared to other platforms. It needs to be more user-friendly in this area. It took about 10-15 minutes to complete. 

As a user, the corporation may need an integrator to configure the setup.

The tool's licensing is expensive, but it should be cheaper. 

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. 

We use Webex primarily to get predictive information about our system. For instance, it alerts us if there's a change in application behavior, like latency in transactions or when CPU and memory usage are 100 percent. This helps us ensure our processes stay stable.

The tool alerts us when there are issues with our Kubernetes environment, such as excessive container usage. This allows our operations team to quickly identify and address these issues, reducing the time it takes to resolve them. 

The most valuable feature of Webex is its ability to monitor our infrastructure. It helps us keep track of security, memory usage, CPU, and more, ensuring our applications run well. 

Greater visibility beyond infrastructure metrics would be beneficial. We could leverage insights into business performance indicators as well. I believe that incorporating more predictive capabilities into Webex for the next version would be beneficial.

I have been using the product for three years. 

I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has more than 1000 users. 

Occasionally, we need quick assistance, especially when facing issues. However, with standard support, response times can be delayed.

Neutral

I rate the tool's ease of deployment an eight out of ten. Setting up Webex wasn't complex for me at all. It was quite easy. The access and tools provided made the process straightforward. Overall, I didn't encounter any complications.

You need two resources to handle the deployment. The deployment process involves utilizing the lab confirmation. We handle various configurations, including Azure DevOps for CI/CD and Octopus tools.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
