How was the initial setup?

Webex is very easy to set up, and any person can use it, as it has a user-friendly interface.

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

I don't have information on Webex pricing because I'm just a user, and I wasn't involved in purchasing the product, but from 2015 to 2020, in my previous company, I used the paid version of the tool, but today, in my current company, it's the free version of Webex that's being used.

Helps to save time by conducting meetings in a hybrid setup
Pros and Cons
  • "The tool simplifies our work by allowing us to have hybrid meetings instead of always meeting in person, which saves time in organizing these meetings. It also offers good video quality."
  • "The product needs to improve its integration. I'm not sure how difficult it is for the IT team to set up the integration. Once set up, it's easy but still not as straightforward as other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, where everything is within the same technical environment. To ensure further security, face authentication should also be added for all internal corporate users logged into the platform."

What is our primary use case?

We use the tool for internal and client meetings, webinars, and presentations. 

What is most valuable?

The tool simplifies our work by allowing us to have hybrid meetings instead of always meeting in person, which saves time in organizing these meetings. It also offers good video quality.

Webex helps to prevent unwanted guests from popping up in your meeting. 
The video quality is fine, and I wouldn't expect it to be better. I'm not sure about the computing resources required to optimize the video delivery, though.

On Webex, I find the option to capture the talking points of each participant valuable. Also, features like adding emojis during live presentations help in getting live feedback from participants.

The security features are quite robust because they allow you only to permit entry from participants authorized by the organizer.

What needs improvement?

The product needs to improve its integration.  I'm not sure how difficult it is for the IT team to set up the integration. Once set up, it's easy but still not as straightforward as other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, where everything is within the same technical environment. To ensure further security, face authentication should also be added for all internal corporate users logged into the platform.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for a few years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Webex is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The tool is scalable since it can support big audiences. My company has 30 users, but I've worked in previous corporations where we had tens of thousands of users.

How was the initial setup?

The tool's deployment is complex compared to other platforms. It needs to be more user-friendly in this area. It took about 10-15 minutes to complete. 

What about the implementation team?

As a user, the corporation may need an integrator to configure the setup.

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

The tool's licensing is expensive, but it should be cheaper. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Simple to integrate, helpful support, and high availability
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of Webex is if you are using the Cisco hardware it is simple to integrate. Additionally, it can integrate well with mobile devices."
  • "Webex could improve the calling feature. It would be helpful to be able to call outside the IP environment."

I use this solution for chatting, scheduling, and meetings.

What is most valuable?

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

I have previously used other solutions, such as Teams and Zoom and I have had issues with conductivity requiring me to reload. I have not had any issues with Webex.

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

The price of Webex is in the middle range compared to the market.

What other advice do I have?

Inside Webex, there exists a feature known as "At Hub." This feature is accompanied by a new browser that offers an array of impressive features and gadgets. Moreover, it enables you to incorporate these elements into your own website. I highly recommend giving it a try and utilizing the app assistance available to explore the extensive range of excellent products within the Webex hub. You're bound to be pleasantly surprised by what awaits you there.

Many customers are already utilizing Cisco phones, which offers a significant advantage. By using a Cisco phone, they can effortlessly join Webex meetings or video conferences through their designated video test or conference endpoint. However, it's important to note that this capability is also available with other platforms like Zoom and similar services.

I rate Webex a nine out of ten.
