We haven't had any problems with stability.

This is a scalable solution. We have about 400,000 employees who can each use Webex.

How was the initial setup?
it is very easy to install and we didn't have any challenges with it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Screen sharing and remote control help us solve customer problems much faster
Pros and Cons
- "The best feature is to be able to share the screen or just some application we want, even a video or audio, then request the remote control of the device with which they have connected."
- "The modification of the email template is not very intuitive."
What is our primary use case?
I use Webex Meeting daily to make all kinds of virtual meetings with my clients, colleagues, and suppliers. It helps me to carry out surveys on needs or help clients create smart accounts or review problems on their platform, all without moving from the office or my house, even from the cell phone.
How has it helped my organization?
Webex has helped me to give my customers a much faster response without the need to mobilize, so it avoids transport costs and times. It allows us to improve the SLA contracted by customers, so we can improve our contracts. This ultimately translates into greater profit.
What is most valuable?
The best feature is to be able to share the screen or just some application we want, even a video or audio, then request the remote control of the device with which they have connected. The latter helps solve problems much faster, rather than guiding the customer.
In the latest version, they have greatly improved access to virtual meeting rooms and it is quite intuitive.
What needs improvement?
I think options during a meeting can be further improved. You should explore a lot to see the information in the room, for example.
The modification of the email template is not very intuitive.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In the last year, only one time have we run out of service. There was an update that meant that for a couple of days, there is no service worldwide. But, it was only a single time and even the president of Cisco came out to apologize.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution scales to what one decides. It has practically no limits.
How are customer service and technical support?
Cisco has a help desk that works twenty-four hours a day. Depending on the service contract, a case can be opened at any time and an engineer will take it to help solve the problem. If this engineer cannot, it will be escalated until it is resolved.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Microsoft's solution with Skype for Business, but it does not integrate as natively with video devices as Webex Meeting does.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is really very easy. However, you better not make a mistake in creating the site, because it is not possible to delete it on your own. To delete it, you must open a case with Cisco support.
What about the implementation team?
We ourselves have implemented it.
What was our ROI?
Just because you don't need a transfer to support customers or get together, it makes the solution pay for itself.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost of installation is free and it is not required to install anything since it is a cloud service.
The price of the license depends a lot on the type of service required and whether it is for the entire company or only for a few users. It becomes much cheaper when used by the entire company.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I tried BlueJeans and Zoom before choosing this solution.
What other advice do I have?
The solution really is very good. In the last year, it has improved a lot, including the recording of the meetings has improved and been perfected.

The call me feature is one of the features our employees seem to love
What is our primary use case?
Cisco WebEx solution is used for voice and web conferencing across five domestic manufacturing facilities. The service enables our locations to utilize not only voice conferencing but also web which allows sharing of content.
How has it helped my organization?
It allows for collaboration between like teams located in different manufacturing facilities as well as corporate offices, including training.
What is most valuable?
The call me feature is one of the features our employees seem to love, they hate having to locate a phone number to call in to it. They say it is cumbersome.
What needs improvement?
In collaborating we sometimes find it difficult to let others "control" your meeting while they speak, users say it is cumbersome to "pass the puck".
For how long have I used the solution?
More than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have had some audio quality issues, and troubleshooting can be difficult because of the details you need to provide to Cisco/WebEx, and that the call needs to have taken place very recently. We have users that sometimes don't even report the issue for a day or two.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have had no issues with any limitations WebEx may have.
How are customer service and technical support?
We have had some audio quality issues, and troubleshooting can be difficult because of the details you need to provide to Cisco/WebEx and that the call needs to have taken place very recently. We have users that sometimes don't even report the issue for a day or two.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
InterCall: not as much collaboration ability.
How was the initial setup?
Straightforward. Rolled out to users without issue.
What about the implementation team?
Both, we had vendor assistance, but communication came from in-house to end users.
What was our ROI?
Unknown.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Yes, I don't remember.
What other advice do I have?
Be aware of the different costs associated with voice and data (even if you don't use it you may still be charged).

How has it helped my organization?

No scalability issues.

Team members do not need to use public solutions to collaborate on complex projects
Pros and Cons
- "Team members do not need to use public solutions to collaborate on complex projects, share files and screens."
- "The only thing it maybe needs is a chat."
What is our primary use case?
Using it for web conferencing, and for screen and documents sharing between members of geographically distributed teams.
How has it helped my organization?
Team members do not need to use public solutions to collaborate on complex projects, share files and screens.
What is most valuable?
- Audio and video conferencing
- Screen demonstration and control
- Document sharing
What needs improvement?
Webex is mostly doing its job without any issues. The only thing it maybe needs is a chat. It is not very comfortable to use. Private and public messages is a good idea, but it is too easy to select the wrong option.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
No issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
No issues.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

Network & Unified Collaboration Leader at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Messaging, meeting, and delivery calling are now easier from the cloud, but the product is not very user-friendly
What is most valuable?
Improved collaboration.
How has it helped my organization?
Cisco Spark has changed the concept of team messaging and communication in a very dramatic way. Messaging, meeting, and delivery calling are now easy from the cloud. This app also ensures security of the users by providing an encrypted and feasible chance for enterprise-wide engagement. The part I like best is that I can communicate with team members easily and also can have private chats outside the main room. Users can share content in a meeting, when in a call, or when messaging anyone, and the app can be accessed on smart phones, browsers, and dedicated downloads on Windows or Mac desktops.
What needs improvement?
Though it is a nice app to work with, it has downsides, too. It is not very user-friendly. Sometimes users cannot use voice recognition to send a message. Sometimes messages will not send, icons sometimes will not load, and those things disappoint a user. They should work on solving these issues as soon as possible.
For how long have I used the solution?
One year.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
No issues.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
No issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
No issues.
How are customer service and technical support?
Customer Service:
Good.
Technical Support:Awesome.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
No.

Unified Communications Engineer at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
You know to whom you are talking when you are conferencing
What is most valuable?
The possibility to have conferences with several people. The best feature is that you know to whom you are talking. It's not like a phone conference where someone is talking, but if you don't recognize the voice, you don't know who is talking.
Also, I like the ability to integrate video conference into the meeting.
How has it helped my organization?
I'm work at Telefonica International. This tool improves our communications with people all around the globe.
What needs improvement?
Cisco WebEx is always developing more functions and improving on the ones that it already has. So, I think that all areas are improving already.
For how long have I used the solution?
For three years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Yes, but it depends on the customers'/users' networks, not with Cisco WebEx in particular.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
No issues.
How are customer service and technical support?
I would give it a six out of 10.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Not previously. But currently, we also use Lync (Skype for Business), and WebEx is far far better than Skype.
How was the initial setup?
No, it's very easy to implement as long as you have a clear picture of what you want. Also, the tool is very malleable, so you can easily change functionalities.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Cisco is not cheap, and this product is not the exception to the rule, but it is worth all the money paid.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
No.
What other advice do I have?
If you have the budget, go for WebEx. You won't find anything more stable, scalable, and with a fair support team.
