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.

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 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?

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.

We use Webex for web-based meetings.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the ease of use.

You can meet with users and you can control the contributions.

The interface is nice.

What needs improvement?

We have had issues where some of the invited participants are not able to join the meeting. This is a problem that we have had to create a support ticket for.

We have been using Webex for about one month.

The stability is fine.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

Cost-effective, easy to manage and use, and the support is good
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Better integration with other solutions would benefit Webex."

What is our primary use case?

We use Webex for having our virtual meetings and we also provide this as a solution for our customers. On our side, we use it for both internal and external communication.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Webex for the past eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We are using Webex extensively these days.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is very scalable in terms of the time limits for meetings. You can even say that there are no time limits, depending on your subscription.

We have 20 internal users and more than 100 customers using Webex.

How are customer service and technical support?

I like the support and I don't see any challenges in terms of it. The solution is managed and maintained through the cloud and at any time, if we need any help or technical assistance then we have toll free numbers, as well as email addresses for contact centers.

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.

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

Licensing is subscription-based and the cost varies depending on how many minutes are included in the plan. There is an unlimited plan available as well.

In general, this is not an expensive solution. The price improves with the number of licenses that are purchased.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to anybody who is considering Webex is that it is a great tool for having meetings and collaborating with customers, suppliers, and employees. I think that everybody should use it.

Overall, this is a good solution and I recommend it. It is easy to operate, easy to manage, easy to configure, and it is cost-effective.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is the easiest for participants to get connected to. 

What needs improvement?

I would like for them to include a collaboration tool so that you can directly do a video call or audio call to your colleagues or anyone in the office.

They should also introduce a collaboration tool to include the features of audio call and video call.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for two months. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment took us around five minutes. It only took one person to set up. 

We have hundreds of users using this solution.

If you're looking for the simplest and cheapest option for video conferencing you should consider Webex compared to other solutions. It is very stable. It is very good.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a perfect ten because I would like to see the collaboration tool.

It is very quick and easy to set up.

Easy to use, has good connection, and good screen-sharing features
Pros and Cons
  • "We can easily connect the device and create a room and then we can call many devices."

How has it helped my organization?

The most valuable features are: 

  • It's easy to use
  • The connection is good
  • Screen-sharing.

What needs improvement?

The UX should be more user-friendly. I know others don't like the UX because it's a little complicated to use. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't had any problems with stability or scalability. 

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

I like Webex more because it's more convenient. I can install it on a mobile phone. The UX is better than Zoom but I know other people prefer Zoom.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Webex an eight out of ten. 

I would recommend Webex because I can use it with other devices. We can easily connect the device and create a room and then we can call many devices.

Has the option to type in a phone number and get a conference room to call my number rather than needing to dial in every time
Pros and Cons
  • "They have a feature called Call Me in which I need to type in my phone number and I can get a conference room to call my number rather than needing to dial in every time. I think that's a quite good feature."
  • "My company does a lot of international calls. For some countries they do not have their local number to call in, all they have is a 1-800 number which is quite hard to find. If they want to improve they should set up the local number to call in. What would be beneficial."

What is most valuable?

They have a feature called Call Me in which I need to type in my phone number and I can get a conference room to call my number rather than needing to dial in every time. I think that's a quite good feature.

What needs improvement?

My company does a lot of international calls. For some countries they do not have their local number to call in, all they have is a 1-800 number which is quite hard to find. If they want to improve they should set up the local number to call in. What would be beneficial.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for the last two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable. Our entire company uses it.

Our office alone is forty people and I know other offices use it as well but I'm not sure about the exact number. 

We have an IT department that handles the maintenance and then a go-to person if we do have issues.

How are customer service and technical support?

I haven't had any issues with Webex that I've needed to contact their support for. 

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

We were previously using GoToMeeting in which we would share our screens but I think in Webex there's a whiteboard, where you can draw. I don't think we had that option with GoToMeeting.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Webex. I'm currently using and I'm happy with it. It has all of the features that our business needs. For example, our manager can call in and they also have their conference number which you can dial in as well and you can dial in using your phone, or you can use your computer video. It's easy to share a screen and turn your video on and off. 

I would rate it a nine out of ten.
