"Screen share and document share are good features."
"We have a lot of people using the product, board members and senior staff and we also have support staff running the meetings."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"The solution is very stable, with no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it highly reliable for our training and webinar needs."
"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"Cisco Meeting Server has the best technical support, so I'd rate support a five out of five."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings. Those are the two primary functions of Meeting Server. Most people in the company are using Microsoft Teams, so we only use Meeting Server when we have an internal meeting for all staff."
"In summary, this is a good product that is very easy to use, and I recommend it."
"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."

"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app."
"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."
"What would make Cisco Meeting Server better is integrating it with Zoom and Teams so that you can connect or make a call through any of the two third-party solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"It is expensive."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"Price-wise, Cisco Meeting Server is a product that falls in a mid-range category."
