The Webex setup is basically automatic. You download it, and the installer does the rest. It takes only a few minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Some companies we do business with have the paid version of Webex, and we use it to connect to them, but we just use the free version.

On-premises

Pros and Cons

I think this solution is cloud-based.

Beneficial remote troubleshooting, simple installation, but lacking collaboration
Pros and Cons
- "The installation is not difficult."
- "The collaborative features could improve in Webex. There should not be the typical one on one connection that we have had in the past."
What is our primary use case?
We use Webex for end-user support purposes whenever there requires troubleshooting. For example, if we want to connect to America or Europe or a different country for the support we can.
What needs improvement?
The collaborative features could improve in Webex. There should not be the typical one on one connection that we have had in the past.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Webex for approximately 15 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have found Webex to be stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Webex is scalable.
I have noticed a decrease in the usage of this solution in our organization. We have approximately 10 people who are using this solution in my organization.
How was the initial setup?
The installation is not difficult.
What about the implementation team?
I am able to do the installation myself.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Webex a seven out of ten.

Has better features than Microsoft Teams and Zoom with an intuitive interface
Pros and Cons
- "I don't think Zoom has anywhere near the features and functionality of Webex."
- "My biggest issue with the solution involves its price, which I find to be prohibitive for small governments and modest-sized schools."
What is our primary use case?
I have no idea which version we are using at present.
What needs improvement?
It is difficult for me to put my finger exactly on what needs to be improved with the solution.
This said, I feel the greatest issue with the solution is its price. Small governments and modest-sized schools simply cannot afford it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Webex for five-plus years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is definitely stable. We are talking about a Cisco product and it has been around for years.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My biggest issue with the solution involves its price, which I find to be prohibitive for small governments and modest-sized schools.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I feel the solution to be stable and they are constantly improving on it. It is probably the best in the market for its kind. I have often heard anecdotally from those using Microsoft Teams that Webex has many features which it lacks.
There is also Zoom, which people like, supposedly for its ease of use. Initially, there were many issues with it, not least of all that the database is housed in China. Yet, I feel they have since gotten passed these, as they experienced growing pains during the pandemic, when usage spiked. They started to offer the solution free of charge.
I don't think Zoom has anywhere near the features and functionality of Webex.
I only use Zoom or Teams when another person does who has initiated the call.
What other advice do I have?
I can't say for certain how the solution is deployed, although this is likely on the cloud. I use the cloud-based version. I know there is an app, part of which, I assume, could be cloud-based. I mostly use the solution on my computer, which has a VPN connection.
Issues I encountered in the past did not involve the product itself, but resulted from my computer and connections being slow. Moreover, as a company, we need to do a much better job training people. There is a need to learn with experience and I am not certain I did this properly. I feel the product has much more potential for use than I make of it.
I find the solution to be convenient. In the past I found it to be a bit on the clunky side, but now the interfaces are pretty intuitive and they are constantly improving on the solution.
I rate Webex as a solid eight out of ten.

Good platform for internal chat and ad hoc meetings
Pros and Cons
- "One of the most valuable features of WebEx is that it's very quick for ad hoc meetings, and I use it all day, every day, for internal chat with my team. It's just a good platform."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use WebEx as our internal chat platform, as well as ad hoc meetings and client meetings.
This solution is cloud-based, so we are always using the latest version.

How are customer service and support?
I have never personally contacted technical support, but my team has.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also use Teams and Zoom. WebEx is a bit clunky for lots of external meetings, so we also use Teams because a lot of our clients have it. Teams also has IMing, but WebEx is sort of defaulted as our major platform, internally.

The installation is very straightforward. I can do it myself, and it took a couple of minutes. You don't need a technical team.
What about the implementation team?
I implemented this solution myself.
What other advice do I have?
I rate WebEx a nine out of ten. It's a pretty good platform and it does what you expect from it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Losing ground to competitors, could be more user-friendly
Pros and Cons
- "The WebEx interface is not as user-friendly as Zoom's. There is room for improvement there."
What needs improvement?
The WebEx interface is not as user-friendly as Zoom's. There is room for improvement there. I ran into some connectivity issues with WebEx in previous versions but those have been fixed now.
For how long have I used the solution?
I do not use it as much as I used to. WebEx seems to be losing ground to competitors like Zoom. At least this is the case in my environment.

Useful for virtual meetings, but stability needs improvement
Pros and Cons
- "A valuable feature of Webex is that it's useful for virtual meetings and similar webinars."
- "Webex's stability could be improved."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
A valuable feature of Webex is that it's useful for virtual meetings and similar webinars.
What needs improvement?
Webex's stability could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Webex for more than six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Webex should be more stable. I have had some problems with connection, and it can be complicated in some areas.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This solution is scalable.
How was the initial setup?
The installation is straightforward, but it can be tricky parts when opening a session on your mobile phone or laptop.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Webex is expensive, especially compared to Zoom or Google.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Zoom or Google could be good solutions for medium-sized or cost-conscious companies. However, not every country in the world can use all software—in some countries you cannot use Google, in some you cannot use Webex.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Webex a seven out of ten. Whether I would recommend Webex to others depends on the size and policy of a company. If they decide that they want to have an image or a reputation to show that they are a big corporation, and use a high brand product, they could use Webex. However, if they're just a medium company and very cost-conscious, then there are other options. It really depends on the image of your company, as well as your network condition.
