Easy to use with good stability and excellent audio capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution makes it easy for us as a team to collaborate remotely."
  • "The solution should come as a big client for the system. It should be able to be used just like chat software when necessary, similar to instant messaging."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for any virtual meeting. We use it for web meetings that require audio communication, text communication, and video. Video is not essential for us most of the time, however. It's not critical to see staff during, for example, team meetings.

What is most valuable?

The chat functionality and the audio capabilities are the solution's most valuable features. For us, video isn't important as long as audio is good.

The presentation of the solution is very efficient.

The solution makes it easy for us as a team to collaborate remotely.

All of the basic features are fantastic. I couldn't rank them in terms of "favorite", and they are all pretty standard within any other similar product, like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. 

Webex offers very good bandwidth managed tools. Even with low or poor bandwidth, the solution works pretty well.

What needs improvement?

The solution should come as a big client for the system. It should be able to be used just like chat software when necessary, similar to instant messaging.

Currently, the solution isn't really lacking in features.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for eight years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution is excellent compared to other solutions on the market. The solution also works seamlessly with both desktop and mobile devices.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is fantastic. It's really seamless. If you need to have a big meeting, you can do so quite easily with this solution. It works well. It supports a lot of people at once. It may be that up to one hundred users can join a single call. We've tested the solution with this amount of people and it worked fine. However, largely, we wouldn't do that. We'd run something of that size more like a one-way meeting, similar to a webinar so that things are kept orderly.

How are customer service and support?

I've never contacted technical support directly. We have our own internal team that handles any troubleshooting that needs to happen.

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

The licensing costs are usually billed on a subscription basis, however I don't know whether it's monthly or yearly. I also don't know the exact costs to our organization. I'm only aware that it's a subscription-based model. There aren't any extra costs on top of the standard licensing fee that is charged.

What other advice do I have?

We schedule calls often with this solution. We schedule a meeting and dial-in to the meeting. When I say dial-in, it's web-based or a data connection, not a traditional voice call. You don't need a phone to use the service.

I would rate this product an eight out of ten. Other products are also doing the same jobs, and run the same tasks. The only difference is stability. Especially when we do screen sharing, compared to other products, Webex performance is much better.

The solution is provided from the cloud, so we're always using the most up-to-date version of the solution. Webex ensures everything is always automatically updated.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Reliable, with good performance, but a bit technical to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "Doing presentations on the solution is very good. There isn't much they could do to improve this aspect. It's excellent."
  • "The initial implementation was a bit difficult. If they could simplify that aspect of the solution, it would be helpful for future users."

What is our primary use case?

We don't use it in any technical way; we mostly just use it for presentations and things of that sort.

What is most valuable?

The solution is consistent. The performance especially is quite consistent in comparison to other applications.

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

What needs improvement?

For what we use it for, I can't think of anything the solution is lacking.

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

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for a long time. It's been about five or six years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. We have no complaints. I haven't had to deal with bugs or glitches. There haven't been crashes. It doesn't freeze. I consider it to be a reliable service.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

If a company needs to scale, it should be able to easily with this solution. We haven't run into any issue on our end. It's been good. However, we only really have five users on the solution. We do plan to increase usage to up to ten users.

How are customer service and technical support?

I haven't really had to contact technical support. In very rare instances do we contact them at all, so I can't speak to the quality of service in any meaningful way, unfortunately. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We're also beginning to use Microsoft Teams. We use them as well due to the fact that their pricing is a bit better.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was a little bit complex. It wasn't exactly straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

We're just a WebEx customer. We don't have any affiliations or special relationships with the company.

The pricing is a little bit high for our company. Due to the cost, we've started working more with Microsoft Teams.

Overall, I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. The setup is a bit technical, otherwise, I would rate it higher. Also, there are other competitors coming to the market which may be a bit easier to use.

I would still recommend it to others though. It's a good product. It's very solid and reliable.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Perfect for remote meetings, excellent feature offerings, and a professional UI
Pros and Cons
  • "It's easy to dial the numbers and the process of connecting a call is very intuitive."
  • "Sometimes the call quality is not that great. When you call in, especially in an international situation, or if you have people calling from different continents or geographical locations, there can be issues with the call itself."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to handle our remote meetings. If we need to have international meetings or client meetings, we use this solution. We also use it if we need to share desktops remotely or remotely control a customer's environment. We use it to record calls as well. 

What is most valuable?

All the features the solution offers are great. The sharing control menu is very easy to use, especially when you compare it to a technology like Zoom. It also looks and feels very professional. The user interface is great. The layout is quite nice and it's not offensive in any way which lends itself to a certain level of professionalism during calls. 

It's easy to dial the numbers and the process of connecting a call is very intuitive.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes the call quality is not that great. When you call in, especially in an international situation, or if you have people calling from different continents or geographical locations, there can be issues with the call itself.  

I would like to see improved chatting functionality. The chat boxes need to be more prominent. It would be nice if you could edit your chat, and easily add attachments into it, similar to Slack, to make it easier to share, sidebar, and communicate during calls. It's very important to add some sort of editing function into the chats. You want to be professional and fix any mistakes and not just leave them there.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for five years now.

How are customer service and technical support?

I'd rate technical support at a seven out of ten. They're okay. I haven't used them too much.

What other advice do I have?

We have a business relationship with WebEx. We're a solution partner.

I personally am a cloud architect and I work for many international companies.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

Integrates with Outlook and schedules meetings well but it is not reliable or consistent
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are video conferencing, the integration with Outlook, and scheduling meetings."
  • "There are too many issues with getting people connected to meetings."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case is for video conferencing.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are video conferencing, the integration with Outlook, and scheduling meetings. These features work well.

What needs improvement?

There are too many issues with getting people connected to meetings.

Reliability and consistency need improvement.

I would like to see support for connecting with customers who don't have Webex installed and to improve the audio quality.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for a couple of years, using the most up-to-date version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are some issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have not had any experience with technical support because we have not had to call.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also have experience with Zoom and I find it to be a better product.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward and there was nothing difficult about it.

What other advice do I have?

My advice would be to get the full version, the enterprise version, and make sure that the initial setup is done properly.

Zoom is better, as it is easier and more consistent. 

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Easy to install and use, and the remote control features are helpful
Pros and Cons
  • "Webex is easy to use, even for people who are just learning it."
  • "This solution would be much better if we could install an endpoint and have centralized management."

What is our primary use case?

I use Webex for having meetings in the cloud. For example, sometimes I use it for technical reviews with my team, and sometimes, I used it for education.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the remote control. I can share my screen, or control other PCs, which are very good features. I can do all of this from home without having to travel.

Webex is easy to use, even for people who are just learning it. They can join meetings or share content with the click of a link.

What needs improvement?

This solution would be much better if we could install an endpoint and have centralized management. This would allow me to subscribe, push an endpoint to the client, and then control these points.

I would like to see the inclusion of security agents, for example from McAfee or Symantec, which can scan the communication for threats. This would help avoid problems if a user has malware on their machine. Webex would also be able to scan for malicious files.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is very good and Cisco is doing a great job with it. We use it on a regular basis.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable product. In the past three years, I have not faced any issues related to scalability.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have been in touch with Cisco support and they are very good. For enterprise-level organizations, I find them very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have also used GoToMeeting and Zoom. I found that Webex is easier to use than these other products.

How was the initial setup?

This cloud-based solution is very easy to install, with only a single click.

What other advice do I have?

My advice is simply that if this product fits the requirements then people should just start using it. It is very easy to use and can't be complicated, even for non-professional users. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the ease of use.

Has the ability to join meetings via phone but we have experienced connectivity issues
Pros and Cons
  • "The ability to join by phone is the most valuable feature. I also think that it's much simpler to use and it's a Cisco product so I think it's the industry standard."
  • "The connectivity can be improved because sometimes when we talk to clients that are overseas the connection is kind of poor. The video will be pixelated and we will need to turn off the video because the voice gets delayed."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is for virtual meetings. 

What is most valuable?

The ability to join by phone is the most valuable feature. I also think that it's much simpler to use and it's a Cisco product so I think it's the industry standard.

What needs improvement?

The connectivity can be improved because sometimes when we talk to clients that are overseas the connection is kind of poor. The video will be pixelated and we will need to turn off the video because the voice gets delayed. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Webex Meetings for two months. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I don't have any scalability issues.

How are customer service and technical support?

We don't really contact customer support because we have isolated issues.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it a six out of ten. It's not that bad but it's not excellent.

They should improve the overall connection stability. So that if we are on the other side of the world, we won't have issues where the video lags or voice is delayed. They are isolated issues for us. It could be that our ISPs are the problem.

I would recommend Webex for a quick meeting so that employees can meet.

This solution allows us to operate 24/7, even in cases like the current COVID-19 crisis. It allows us to interact with our customers for support and for other activities.

What is most valuable?

What we like about Webex is that it is a hosted solution, so there is no demand for us to invest in hardware, skill, or manpower to maintain our cloud meeting capability.

We can host a meeting online from anywhere at any time and from any location.

Webex can be used for more than just meetings. You can also have a remote session or an organized event like a webinar. You can perform live technical support if you want.

What needs improvement?

Better integration with other solutions would benefit Webex.

We can get any help and support that we need, whether it is technical support or retail support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not use another similar software prior to this.

What about the implementation team?

We deploy this solution ourselves and it takes about 30 minutes.
