"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"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."
"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"You don't need to be technical in order to use it."

"Compared to any other platform, Zoom has been very stable for meetings and conference calls."
"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"When you join a meeting in Zoom, you may feel it is difficult to find some windows until you click a few buttons to help you eventually get to the window you want to see."
"We use screen sharing, but sometimes it can be awkward because you might accidentally share the wrong screen, including personal ones. ......Similar to the integration between Google Calendar and Google Meet, having everything in one environment would be much more convenient for scheduling meetings."
"I would say that Zoom should support more platforms. I think it has some limitations. It should be supported on all platforms."
"I would like to see an integration with Microsoft."
"When sharing a screen, it's only dedicated to one particular window, not multiple windows"
"You can use Teams more to collaborate with your coworkers. I think Zoom could add some of these features in addition to simple video conferencing."
"Having easier access to recorded meetings, being able to download them fast, and playing them back would be helpful."
"I can't speak to any missing features."
