"As compared to Zoom, I like its user interface more. It is much easier to use, and I also find it more stable.""The product's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with multiple products.""The implmentation of Webex is simple. It does not a lot of time.""The most valuable feature is Webex's user-friendly video conferencing.""The most valuable features are video conferencing, the integration with Outlook, and scheduling meetings.""The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward.""The most valuable feature of Webex is if you are using the Cisco hardware it is simple to integrate.

Cons
"It's a bit slow, especially if you are downloading photos.""Its screen-sharing feature could be better compared to a few competitors.""They need to improve the scalability of Teams.""We face issues related to screen-sharing and stability. It is very difficult to get Microsoft's support to troubleshoot the issues. The product also needs to update its recording features.""Whiteboard tool not embedded in the solution.""The solution should include features like scripting, meeting summarization, and automated notes.""Sometimes Avaya is required for Teams to work well on phones.""Sometimes, extracting the older version of a file takes a few minutes."

More Microsoft Teams Cons →

"It would be better if I could just join meetings directly on the web without extra downloads and steps.""The collaborative features could improve in Webex. There should not be the typical one on one connection that we have had in the past.""Webex is clunky and it's hard to use. It's not simple. Webex is probably the most user-unfriendly of all of them. Whenever you're trying to get on it, it's an absolute pain.""They should integrate the solution with multiple hardware vendors.""I was in a meeting on the free version where there were no controls. You couldn't mute somebody or put it in dedicated speaker mode. It was an important meeting, and because of the lack of an ability to control who the speakers were, we got a version of a heckler. Well, it wasn't really a heckler per se. It was just somebody who thinks they know everything.""Webex could add some integration with Microsoft Office or G-Suite.""It would be great if they had a directory that you could consult for the meeting dial-in numbers.""We have had issues where some of the invited participants are not able to join the meeting."
