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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Helps you with remote support and collaboration
Pros and Cons
- "Webex is a collaboration tool that helps you with remote support and collaboration."
- "The solution's initial setup process is lengthy."
What is our primary use case?
The vendor who supports me uses Webex for technical support. They set up Webex, and we are able to connect with each other. Some people use Webex to do sales pitch presentations for various solutions. They send me a Webex link, and I can join and have our conversation.
What is most valuable?
Webex is a collaboration tool that helps you with remote support and collaboration.
What needs improvement?
The solution's initial setup process is lengthy. The tool takes a bit of time to download. When you are at the tail end of starting up a meeting, installing Webex will delay you.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution's stability is great during meetings unless there are network fluctuations, in which case you start having the usual problems.
How was the initial setup?
The solution needs to make the installer packages lighter. This would reduce the turnaround time to download, which would speed up the installation.
What other advice do I have?
The solution's video conferencing quality is great, and I rate it a seven out of ten.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
