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.

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."

"What I value most about Webex is its stability compared to other solutions."

"Doing presentations on the solution is very good. There isn't much they could do to improve this aspect. It's excellent."

"It's a nice tool for virtual meetings and I'm satisfied with its performance."

"Webex helps us collaborate better. We can work with customers and our team in real-time, share screens, and use a whiteboard. It's been really helpful."

"The tool simplifies our work by allowing us to have hybrid meetings instead of always meeting in person, which saves time in organizing these meetings. It also offers good video quality."

"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."

"Great quality of sound, quality of pics and video."

"I have found a lot of virtual meeting solutions seem the same. Some might work a little bit better, it is difficult to pinpoint a particular functionality that's widely different, they all have screen sharing and video in-voice."

Cons

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

"I would like to see more integration, with respect to some more unified communication activities."

"It is not so easy to obtain information in areas like the number of participants, comments, and file transfers inside the application."

"It would be better if I could just join meetings directly on the web without extra downloads and steps."

"The interface of Webex should be improved and it is difficult to find information."

"Nowadays, it is hard to set up meetings using Webex since it has become a complicated process."

"The initial implementation was a bit difficult. If they could simplify that aspect of the solution, it would be helpful for future users."

"Webex could be improved by having a password-protected system. I don't remember there being any passwords for the meetings, but, presently, Zoom has meeting protection."

"The interface could be a bit more user-friendly."
