One-click meeting access and seamless integration enhance video conferencing experience
Cisco TelePresence could improve the WebRTC connections, as they are quite slow. The end user experiences delays when using WebRTC, sometimes taking one minute or more to receive a connection. This issue is mainly due to Cisco taking a long time to download and start the WebRTC client on their devices. Ensuring it is embedded in the device could help.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I love that I can create classes and that they are "persistent" which means they can be reused over and over again."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"Now our students can complete their required training in less time and make the organization more productive, as they are able to much more quickly apply what they have learned and make immediate use of it in their projects and with their teams more effectively."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"We have a lot of people using the product, board members and senior staff and we also have support staff running the meetings."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"The solution can scale well."
"Persistence for webinar rooms Fast video playing Integration and reusability of the same webinar."
"The configuration is a valuable."
"We have a dual screen option to enable video and content sharing."
"The speaker tracker feature in Cisco Telepresence is highly valuable, especially the ability to track multiple participants and change focus during meetings."
"Cisco is a leader in video conferencing solutions because they apply the latest technologies to their devices and services, such as artificial intelligence and versatile functionalities."
"If at any point we require any support or our team requires any support, we just call into the Cisco support with their call-in number and they are very good."
"TelePresence allows our customers to have a quick meeting while traveling and still be effective. It saves time and money."
"The SpeakerTrack feature is the most valuable feature."
"Telepresence's most valuable feature is keeping highly paid employees, such as executives, on the ground instead of wasting time flying around the world. So if you have the right telepresence plan and form, it's not just the video cameras and the systems behind them, it's the way you lay out your meeting room.You can have multiple offices interconnecting in a single meeting, and it looks like everybody's in the same big conference room together because the telepresence yields such a fantastic amount of clarity."
 

Cons

"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"I think that both the interface and the layout options, the ability to organize the different components for an online meeting on your screen, could be improved."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive. In Brazil, Connect is only for obtaining international standards for international companies."
"The calling features can be improved."
"The tool is expensive."
"I was in touch with one of our clients and they mentioned that they would like to have a holographic video conferencing. It would be great if that feature would be added."
"Cisco TelePresence license is expensive and should be reduced."
"MX800 comes only with one available DVI port. A few more HDMI ports will improve the system's capability."
"Cisco TelePresence could improve the WebRTC connections, as they are quite slow."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, with ten being expensive. It was complex with badges and certificates. Too crazy."
"Cisco TelePresence could improve its integration capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"It is expensive."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"We used high definition, 1080p, but again, it required license purchases. For example, with three licenses (TP licenses), each allowing one 1080p screen, if I had six participants, I'd need to lower the resolution to 720p or lower to accommodate more participants. More licenses meant more cost."
"The price of Cisco Telepresence is high, especially in Brazil. However, the quality of the product justifies the cost."
"Cisco TelePresence license is expensive and should be reduced. There is only a cost for the license and it is annually."
"The pricing is expensive, therefore I rate it an eight out of ten."
"I will rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
