Customer Service

Sentiment score
8.6
PGi GlobalMeet is praised for exceptional, reliable service and support, consistently rated perfect by responsive and helpful customer feedback.
Sentiment score
7.0
Webex technical support receives mixed reviews, excelling in responsiveness, but some users experience delays and rely on internal teams.
The support was fine, but it was not a product of Webex per se; it was a product of the third-party we were working with.
Webex supports our daily communication and collaboration needs, but not extensively, as all support is via our service center.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
PGi GlobalMeet is praised for user-friendliness and scalability, despite some concerns, and supports large participant numbers effectively.
Sentiment score
7.1
Webex is scalable, supports large meetings, and integrates with cloud, though some users desire further scalability improvements.
Webex is very scalable, and I do not think that our organization has ever reached its limit.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Users find PGi GlobalMeet stable and user-friendly, with occasional issues during large meetings but generally praised for reliability.
Sentiment score
7.5
Webex is largely stable and reliable, though minor audio or connectivity issues arise, with satisfaction ratings typically high.
We haven’t had any issues with it at all.
 

Room For Improvement

PGi GlobalMeet improvements needed include report access, connectivity, presenter tools, and clearer notifications, addressing user and technical challenges.
Webex needs interface, connectivity, integration, and pricing improvements to enhance user experience and resolve video, audio, and accessibility issues.
Zoom has a big advantage in simplicity, especially for the other side to connect to a session.
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.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers appreciate PGi GlobalMeet's fair pricing, flexibility, and bundling benefits, though some view it as expensive yet valuable.
Webex is often seen as costly, especially for SMBs, but costs improve with bundled Cisco products or free versions.
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 is expensive.
 

Valuable Features

PGi GlobalMeet excels in easy meeting setup, seamless conferencing, collaborative features, and efficient remote meeting management with recording capabilities.
Webex offers seamless collaboration with high-quality audio/video, robust security, and easy integration with Outlook and Cisco solutions.
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.
The number one reason we chose Webex was the security features.

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.…
AlexandruCioruta - PeerSpot reviewer
Used to conduct online third-party client meetings or third-party vendor meetings
The solution's video conferencing quality is good, and I rate it a nine out of ten. The solution's security features are end-to-end encrypted, and I rate them ten out of ten. The version we're using requires no technical team for deployment and maintenance. The solution has an enterprise version, but we're not currently using it. I would recommend the solution to other users because it has good video conference quality. I mostly leverage the solution for third-party client meetings or third-party vendor meetings. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
