Easy to use for our clients and was easy to roll out

I would rate it a nine out of ten. It was really easy to roll it out to our users to implement it to an API. It was very seamless. I don't see any lack of features we need. For the purpose of connecting the client and agent, it works very well. I would like the ability to download or retrieve the call history through APIs. There is no way to download the recordings from the meetings because you can record the meeting. The only way to get the recording from the platform is to log in to my strategic portal and download it manually. There is no way to retrieve the link for downloading the recording through API. I would like to see that in the next release.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pros are that it's like a global leader. It has a translation project, which is very interesting and important for our users because the minority of them are not able to read and speak in English."

"The solution is user-friendly."

"I don't think Zoom has anywhere near the features and functionality of Webex."

"I like that it can accommodate larger groups of listeners. I think in my client's organization, they use Webex for meetings with a larger group of listeners. I believe Skype For Business is not preferred. I think they use Webex or their own custom platform because it accommodates more users in one meeting."

"It allows me to conduct meetings, share files, record events, chat, and have presentations with co-workers."

"Webex offers a wide range of useful features."

"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around stability and performance."

"The installation is not difficult."

"The stability of the solution is the most important feature."

More Webex pros

Cons

"We have had some problems with stability. A week ago, we had outaging but it has stablized."

"We switched from Webex to Teams because there was a lag in the WebEx experience and also a lack of integration. Easy integration with a free email account like Microsoft or Google would be helpful."

"Although we utilize it for team collaboration, it's not very efficient. Most people don't bother turning on their video during meetings. We feel stuck in the past, relying on outdated technology."

"The solution could improve by having better integration with other platforms."

"The performance of WebEx could be improved. If you're using it on a mobile device and on the laptop, you sometimes get glitches, where you've answered the call or joined a meeting on a laptop and your mobile device doesn't quite know what's going on. It may just be technical glitches, but it seems to be a bit shaky sometimes on mobile devices."

"The collaborative features could improve in Webex. There should not be the typical one on one connection that we have had in the past."

"Greater visibility beyond infrastructure metrics would be beneficial. We could leverage insights into business performance indicators as well. I believe that incorporating more predictive capabilities into Webex for the next version would be beneficial."

"Usability needs improvement. Webex is more complex compared to Zoom."

"The pricing could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"My organization took care of the licensing. I'm guessing they did some subscription cycle, but I used the free version."

"I have recently switched to a different solution. WebEx is more costly. There are equivalent solutions at a lower cost."

"I believe the license to be monthly."

"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."

"The solution is low-cost for a hybrid model."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"The tool's licensing is expensive, but it should be cheaper."

"There is a need to pay the licensing charges to use Webex Enterprise Edition."
