Cons
"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.""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.""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.""Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."
