Easy to set up with excellent technical support and good stability
Pros and Cons
- "Cisco is a pioneer in this particular technology. The features and technology have been adopted and they have been integrated with other solutions."
- "The licensing could be a bit simpler."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution purely as a end-user support. We use it specifically for virtual meetings,
What is most valuable?
Cisco is a pioneer in this particular technology. The features and technology have been adopted and they have been integrated with other solutions.
Cisco Webex is definitely a good solution.
The product is stable.
We find the solution to be scalable.
The initial setup is pretty simple.
The technical support on offer is excellent.
What needs improvement?
The licensing could be a bit simpler.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've used the solution for three or four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of the solution is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.
We have three or four engineers that work on the solution.
How are customer service and support?
Cisco has very good technical support across all of its offerings, not just WebEx. They are helpful and responsive. We're quite pleased with their level of service.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We've used this solution for a very, very long time. We didn't use a different product previously. We do also use Zoom alongside WebEx.
How was the initial setup?
The installation is quite straightforward. It's not a difficult implementation.
That said, I did not deal with a full implementation and therefore I can't speak to how long the deployment takes.
One engineer is more than enough to handle deployment and maintenance. With cloud-based solutions, they simply have to activate the licenses and download the agent. That's basically it. Cisco has made it easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
In terms of the licensing part, sometimes we don't understand the product line. It's a major difference between Cisco and Zoom. Zoom is more straightforward in terms of licensing and how costs are laid out.
The solution is subscription-based.
The product is expensive. Recently, during the pandemic, they came up with some promos however, otherwise, in a normal scenario, it is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

It's clunky and hard to use, but stable once you get it running
Pros and Cons
- "Once it's running, it's okay."
- "Webex is clunky and it's hard to use. It's not simple. Webex is probably the most user-unfriendly of all of them. Whenever you're trying to get on it, it's an absolute pain."
What is our primary use case?
We use Webex for the same purpose as Zoom, i.e. to do web meetings, but we don't use Webex unless our customers require it.
What needs improvement?
Webex is clunky and it's hard to use. It's not simple. Webex is probably the most user-unfriendly of all of them. Whenever you're trying to get on it, it's an absolute pain.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's hard to get Webex running, but once it's running it's okay.
What other advice do I have?

Pre Sales Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
More stable than most, but too pricey for small businesses and support is subpar
Pros and Cons
- "What I value most about Webex is its stability compared to other solutions."
- "Webex support is not good. When we try to open a ticket, it takes approximately 24 hours. With Microsoft, we get support within two or three hours."
What is our primary use case?
We use Webex for our critical or government customers, and when we're dealing with complex network infrastructure.
What is most valuable?
What I value most about Webex is its stability compared to other solutions. Webex comes from Cisco, which is a good brand. The name itself is a selling point.
What needs improvement?
They have a feature that is amazing but it's not implemented properly. It's called Profile Insight and it's similar to LinkedIn. Before you join a meeting, you can see the background of the person. But the problem is the implementation. There is so much missing information. This could be integrated with LinkedIn or something so it can produce more information about the person you're meeting with. Also, they've been announcing that they will add AI translation since 2019, but we're still not seeing that upgrade.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working with Webex for more than five years.
How are customer service and support?
Webex support is not good and I can really only give them one star for support. Cisco is now transitioning from hardware-based infrastructure to software. So when you are migrating, you see the videos, user manual, configuration guidelines, etc. and it all looks simple, but when we start implementing, we face some integration issues. And when we try to open a ticket, it takes approximately 24 hours. With Microsoft, we get support within two or three hours. Zoom also has very good support. And unfortunately, they are selling the package of support separately, so we can't know what level of support we will get. But that's including with the license itself. So in this case, since they are similar to Microsoft, Zoom, Slack, and others, they should have the same support services.
How was the initial setup?
There is some confusion for our customers who use Webex for the first time. Webex has two software products that are similar: Webex Teams and Webex Meetings. Webex Teams comes with the default license even if you didn't purchase it. If you have a Webex Meetings license, you get both. When they are installing Webex Teams for the first time, they are unable to join the meeting. When they install and they search on Google for "Webex Meetings installation," the first download option on the Webex website is Webex Teams. To join a meeting as a new user, you have to install Webex Meetings not Webex Teams.
We constantly deal with this confusion. It costs us time especially when we're dealing with a critical client who working from a remote site. So they install the first Webex and it does not work. Then they have to install the other one. So sometimes we have to send the link directly to him. So we only experience this kind of confusion with Webex, not in other vendors I believe.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Price is the one area where Webex needs to improve relative to its competitors. It's difficult to sell to small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) because of the license price. It's not very competitive with a product like Microsoft Teams because that is bundled with Microsoft 365, so the price will be lower. With SMBs, we face an issue when we try to sell Webex as a stand-alone product. It's easier to sell if it is packaged with Cisco infrastructure, IP phones, CallManager, and everything else. So they need to consider the needs of SMBs in their pricing.
What other advice do I have?
I give Webex a six out of 10, which I think is fair. They offer flexibility with every vendor, but there are issues with support and integration. Then there is the issue of price, which isn't affordable for SMBs.
