Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have the ability to dynamically push our interface to participants. Adobe Connect is an older technology, but it allows us to push our own layout and design to participants. One of the solution's strengths is that it's web-only but that is also a weakness. It is not a software solution but is browser-based which has its advantages and disadvantages. Zoom has become such a force that its ease of use surpasses ON24.

Collaborating in hybrid incident calls has become faster while the meeting interface still needs fixes
The best features are the ability to schedule meetings and launch ad hoc meetings. Additionally, we can create breakout rooms within the meeting itself, which is another excellent feature. Whenever we have production issues, many teams join a single Webex call. Sometimes we need to group together as separate smaller groups and work in parallel to identify the production issues. In those cases, we create Webex breakout rooms and each member joins the corresponding breakout session to progress on their task. Webex helps significantly in the hybrid environment. When we are working from home, it is very easy for us to meet with other team members and the management to get in touch and progress. Webex improves communication because even if we are working from home, we can connect with people and talk to them on a video call. It has improved the incident resolution time by getting into a call in Webex rooms and remediating the issues together as soon as possible. Audio and video quality is excellent for Webex. It has saved considerable time in terms of incident remediation. Whenever we have issues, we jump on a call and work together in parallel. This approach saves time and improves efficiency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"In general, the solution provides a good experience, the user interface is friendly and from the user perspective, navigation was simple."
"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
"The most valuable features are video conferencing, the integration with Outlook, and scheduling meetings."
"The chat and meeting scheduling features in Webex are most valuable for our team's productivity."
"As an end-consumer, I think that the product is fine; I am happy with all of the features and happy with the product overall."
"Webex's clarity is good for video and audio, I have found it better than Zoom, and we can receive notifications of meetings which is helpful."
"WebEx allows both host and participants to engage in an online class, conference, training session, or support case with ease."
"Webex has frequent updates and it is very good."
"Webex is a good product; when you have other Cisco products onboarded, it gives you the full configurations that you want and lets you jump seamlessly from your Cisco telephone system to Webex, which is very useful."
"This is the best everyone knows about, but there are plenty other players."
 

Cons

"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"One thing that could be improved is that there is a 5,000 person limit."
"The licensing model doesn't work because if I want to implement it for an organization, I need to pay a per-user license, which makes it very restrictive."
"Webex's Bluetooth functionality could be better. For example, I use Webex on my Android mobile phone and connect with Bluetooth. It connects, but I cannot speak through the Bluetooth microphone and earphones with Webex. It's always disabled. I don't know why."
"The solution could improve by having cross-platform compatibility. For example, if you wanted to have a call with someone with Microsoft Teams you could do it with Webex. Not everyone wants to use the same virtual meeting application."
"Webex's translation feature could work more accurately."
"The WebEx interface is not as user-friendly as Zoom's. There is room for improvement there."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"The only thing that seems a bit cumbersome is when you're on a machine without the right environment and the app takes awhile to start."
"The interface of Webex should be improved and it is difficult to find information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
"You need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges of the product. You need to opt for a subscription-based licensing model for your organization. The product is a bit expensive."
"The tool's licensing is expensive, but it should be cheaper."
"The charges attached to the subscriptions of the product are okay. There are no extra charges to be paid in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"There are licenses for business to use the solution but for end-users, there is not."
"The price should be improved significantly."
"I believe the license to be monthly."
"Webex is very expensive."
"The price of the license for the solution could be less expensive."
