Sentiment score

Program Manager at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Webex supports our daily communication and collaboration needs, but not extensively, as all support is via our service center.

Product Specialist at Frontier Business Systems
Webex is very scalable, and I do not think that our organization has ever reached its limit.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions
I believe Webex should be performing fine scalability-wise since when we called, we should have been more than 20 in the call together.
Web Designer / Developer & Creative Professional at Federal University of Technology Akure

Room For Improvement

PGi GlobalMeet improvements needed include report access, connectivity, presenter tools, and clearer notifications, addressing user and technical challenges.
Webex needs a user-friendly interface, better integrations, efficient features, and competitive pricing to satisfy various organizational needs.
Zoom has a big advantage in simplicity, especially for the other side to connect to a session.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions
Connecting to Webex can be technical, and it would be beneficial to have a way to connect anonymously using a simple code instead of going through microphone issues.
Web Designer / Developer & Creative Professional at Federal University of Technology Akure
Continued enhancement to the mobile experience would be valuable for users who frequently work while traveling or away from their desk.

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers appreciate PGi GlobalMeet's fair pricing, flexibility, and bundling benefits, though some view it as expensive yet valuable.
Webex's pricing is high, with limited free features, and demands competitive rates for smaller businesses, despite bundling benefits.
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.
Program Manager at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Since Webex is offered as a cloud-based service, deployment and onboarding were relatively straightforward compared to solutions that require significant on-premises infrastructure.
Senior Lead DevOps Engineer at Kyndryl
Webex is expensive.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions
 

Valuable Features

PGi GlobalMeet excels in easy meeting setup, seamless conferencing, collaborative features, and efficient remote meeting management with recording capabilities.
Webex excels in collaboration with messaging, meetings, calling, file sharing, AI features, security, and user-friendly integration.
It has improved the incident resolution time by getting into a call in Webex rooms and remediating the issues together as soon as possible.
Senior Consultant at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
The third feature is the AI-powered intelligence that notes down minutes of the meeting, allowing us to concentrate on the content rather than jotting down points.
Product Specialist at Frontier Business Systems
Webex takes a strong approach to AI governance and security, which is particularly important in enterprise environments where sensitive and business information is discussed and shared.
Senior Lead DevOps Engineer at Kyndryl

A scalable and stable solution that offers good production support
I am impressed with the tool's production support.  The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system.  I have been using the product for five years.  I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. I would rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten.…

Virtual training has supported collaborative learning and now needs a simpler and clearer interface
Webex can be simplified in terms of user interface, where many features should be displayed in a compact view, with similar features grouped together and a minimalistic design helping users understand what each button does. If specific features are not needed, they should not distract you, and some features should appear as sliding elements for ease of access. Additionally, connecting to Webex can be technical, and it would be beneficial to have a way to connect anonymously using a simple code instead of going through microphone issues.
