Stable, secure, and works without issue
Pros and Cons
  • "The product is quite secure. Other products, such as Zoom, have had security issues raised in the media."
  • "The interface could be a bit more user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

We only use the solution for virtual meetings. 

What is most valuable?

The stability, as well as the performance of the solution, are very good.

What we have seen from, for example, Google Meet, is that there is some kind of disruption or some issues which we have been facing. However, with WebEx, we have not faced any kind of issue. 

The product is quite secure. Other products, such as Zoom, have had security issues raised in the media. With WebEx, we are assured our internal meetings are protected. 

What needs improvement?

The interface could be a bit more user-friendly.

For how long have I used the solution?

We first had it installed with the pandemic started. We've been using it since around 2020.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is quite stable and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

How are customer service and support?

We have our own internal support. We have one manager and four or five engineers who basically handle all issues. I don't directly deal with the troubleshooting and cannot speak to the process. 

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

I'm also familiar with Zoom and Google Meet. We use these as well as WebEx. In fact, before we started using WebEx, we used Google Meet specifically.

Prior to that, we had more physical, in-person meetings, however, the pandemic has changed how we do meetings now, and we do much more virtual meetings.

WebEx is more secure than, for example, Zoom.

How was the initial setup?

As a cloud-based solution, the initial implementation is quite simple and straightforward. It's not complete or difficult at all. There is no physical installation required.

What other advice do I have?

We're using the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the exact version number.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pretty happy with its capabilities overall. 

I would definitely recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Helps to collaborate with team in real-time, share screens, and use a whiteboard
Pros and Cons
  • "Webex helps us collaborate better. We can work with customers and our team in real-time, share screens, and use a whiteboard. It's been really helpful."

    What is most valuable?

    Webex helps us collaborate better. We can work with customers and our team in real-time, share screens, and use a whiteboard. It's been really helpful.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using the product for two to three years. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I rate the product's scalability a nine out of ten.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. Our organization uses Webex, and its users include project managers, development team leads, and consultants like myself. 

    How are customer service and support?

    I haven't contacted the technical support yet. 

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

    We used GoTo Meeting before Webex. I do have confidence in Cisco technology since we've used Cisco switches and support in the past, so Webex, being from Cisco, seems promising.

    How was the initial setup?

    I would rate my experience with the initial setup as a nine out of ten. It was very easy and straightforward, and I've always had a good experience with it. 
    Webex is deployed in our organization primarily for consultants and teams. Whenever a customer requires us to discuss certain products or topics, we use the tool to facilitate those discussions and bring everyone together for meetings.


    The deployment is quick. We download it from the web, install it, and start using it. There's no extensive company-wide deployment of the tool in our organization. It's primarily used by consultants engaging with customers who prefer Webex for meetings. I've never initiated a Webex meeting myself. Typically, it takes less than five minutes from downloading to join a meeting.

    What other advice do I have?

    I've been using Webex to meet customer requirements. I tend to use Zoom for team-related activities. However, if the customer prefers Webex, Zoom, or Teams, we adapt accordingly. 

    I'm using a hybrid setup, including on-premises and hybrid cloud environments. Our approach is driven by customer requirements because we prioritize serving our customers. We support platforms like Azure, AWS, and private or hybrid cloud, including on-premises deployments.

    I rate the product a nine out of ten. 

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Pros and Cons

    • "Some concerns are raised by the company's team when it comes to the screen portion of the tool. There is a need to hire engineers to deal with the aforementioned issue."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use the solution in my company to call our clients and manage areas such as business collaborations and webinars.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable features of the solution revolve around stability and performance. The average networking speed offered by the product is good.

    What needs improvement?

    Some concerns are raised by the company's team when it comes to the screen portion of the tool. There is a need to hire engineers to deal with the aforementioned issue.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have experience with Webex.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

    How are customer service and support?

    The team of administrators in my company deals with the company's support team.

    How was the initial setup?

    One person can handle the product's initial setup phase. The initial setup phase doesn't require much time.

    Mostly, I use Webex Client. I downloaded the solution from Webex's site. In general, I use Webex Enterprise Edition.

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

    There is a need to pay the licensing charges to use Webex Enterprise Edition.

    What other advice do I have?

    The product has simplified the remote work in our company, especially when we have to have client meetings and there is a need to add our internal team members who are working remotely.

    The video quality, screen, and interface offered by the product are good.

    From my side, I would recommend the product to others.

    The product's security features seem good, but I don't know much about them.

    The conference quality offered by the tool is good.

    I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

    The solution is heavy and takes too much time to open, though it is useful for communication
    Pros and Cons
    • "The solution is useful for communication."
    • "The solution is heavy and slow."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use the solution for voice calls, desktop sharing, and sharing drawings or texts for presentations.

    What is most valuable?

    The solution is useful for communication. It provides the basic features available in other products.

    What needs improvement?

    The solution is heavy and slow. It takes too much time to open. It is a bit old. I do not feel comfortable using it.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using the solution for six years, but not frequently.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I rate the stability a five out of ten.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was easy.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Microsoft Teams and Zoom are better than Webex. Webex is pretty slow compared to Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Microsoft Teams is also a bit heavy and slow. I like Zoom. I feel more comfortable using Teams and Zoom. I have been using them for a long time.

    What other advice do I have?

    We use the solution rarely. I use Webex only when our partners ask us to join meetings through Webex. I might not be comfortable using Webex because I do not use it frequently. Our organization takes care of our security needs. Overall, I rate the product a four out of ten.

    Support available, scales well, but chat functionality could improve
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most noteworthy aspect of Webex is its quality, which I found satisfactory without any notable issues."
    • "In terms of features, it would be beneficial for Webex to focus on improving its chat functionality to make it more user-friendly. Additionally, enhancing communication operations to create a friendlier user experience would be advantageous. Other individuals who have tried using it faced challenges when attempting to share content with third parties during conversations or meetings."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Webex for conferencing.

    What is most valuable?

    The most noteworthy aspect of Webex is its quality, which I found satisfactory without any notable issues.

    What needs improvement?

    In terms of features, it would be beneficial for Webex to focus on improving its chat functionality to make it more user-friendly. Additionally, enhancing communication operations to create a friendlier user experience would be advantageous. Other individuals who have tried using it faced challenges when attempting to share content with third parties during conversations or meetings.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Webex for approximately five years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    We encountered connectivity issues that could have stemmed from our network, the internet service provider (ISP), or other factors. It seemed to be an isolated incident, and I didn't have the opportunity to connect with tech support to diagnose the exact problem. It could have been related to an update or an issue with Webex itself. However, the problem was eventually resolved. While it was a significant concern for someone else, I had not personally received any complaints about it prior to that occurrence.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We have three people in my group that have used Webex.

    How are customer service and support?

    Although there is internal technical support available, I didn't escalate the issue as it was resolved almost immediately. The presence of an active internal technical support team played a key role in swiftly fixing the problem.

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

    I have a preference for alternative tools. Regarding conferences, Webex is acceptable. I want to be honest with you about this. Connecting on Webex is actually easy. I would consider it to be on par with Zoom in terms of overall quality. However, I'm aware that some external users from the company's perspective have encountered certain issues that have hindered their conversations. Honestly, they weren't particularly enthusiastic about this solution. When I need to communicate with these external customers through Webex, they tend to choose another tool. This doesn't inspire much confidence in me, but I understand it's a personal matter. Perhaps the design could be improved, but that's also just my personal opinion. Apart from that, I believe Webex has all the necessary features. As a regular Zoom user, I simply prefer to stick with Zoom based on my own experiences and preferences. Additionally, I find it more useful to use Zoom for both personal and team purposes.

    For my ideal solution, I would suggest taking the best features from various tools. For instance, I would incorporate Slack's messaging capabilities and Zoom's audio-video functionality. That combination would be perfect for me. If it were possible to also include elements from other platforms like Telegram and Webex, it would further enhance the overall solution.

    What other advice do I have?

    The solution requires maintenance. 

    I rate Webex a seven out of ten.

    Secure, and easy to use, but the joining process should be simplified
    Pros and Cons
    • "It is user-friendly."
    • "I think it's very inconvenient to have to enter my email address all the time just to be a visitor."

    What is our primary use case?

    Webex is used for video communication and video calls.

    What is most valuable?

    I am satisfied with the performance of Webex.

    The user interface is fine for me. It is user-friendly.

    I don't have an issue with the security.

    What needs improvement?

    I think it's very inconvenient to have to enter my email address all the time just to be a visitor.

    I didn't log in because I just attended a meeting that my manager scheduled for me and I had to retype my email address, and I believe that I should be able to click a button as a visitor. I shouldn't have to enter my email address again and again.

    It should be easier to join a meeting.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I started using Webex after I joined my company, and my company also uses Webex. I have been using it for one month.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I am not aware of the number of users in the company.

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

    Previously, I worked with Google Meets and Zoom.

    The issue is that I have no idea which company it is from when I use it.

    How was the initial setup?

    I was not involved in the installation. It was pre-installed in the company.

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

    For me, there is no licensing fee.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would recommend this solution to others, but I'm not sure what its specific advantage is, but I use it smoothly.

    I would rate Webex a six out of ten.

    Pros and Cons
    • "It is very powerful and stable."
    • "When I use it personally, not in my enterprise, there is a time limit of about 60 minutes. After one hour, the call gets cut off. This limit should be increased."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use it for virtual meetings.

    How has it helped my organization?

    It is useful for me for having meetings with others and working well remotely.

    What is most valuable?

    It is very powerful and stable.

    What needs improvement?

    When I use it personally, not in my enterprise, there is a time limit of about 60 minutes. After one hour, the call gets cut off. This limit should be increased.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this solution for about three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Its stability is good.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It is 99% scalable. All employees in our company are using this solution.

    Simple implementation, easy to use, but distracting operation noises
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable feature of Webex is ease to use."
    • "The GUI of Webex should be improved. The connectivity for putting people inside the meetings or entering meetings is to be improved."

    What is our primary use case?

    We are using Webex for meetings.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable feature of Webex is ease to use.

    What needs improvement?

    The GUI of Webex should be improved. The connectivity for putting people inside the meetings or entering meetings is to be improved. 

    When you mute or unmute someone in Webex it causes a tone or a sound that can be distracting. For example, in Microsoft Teams when someone is muted or unmuted it is silent. When we have a meeting with 100 people the noises are too much. Webex needs to reduce the number of noises activated by using the solution.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Webex for approximately two years.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We have approximately 100 people in m organization using this solution.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not contacted the support from Webex.

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

    I have previously used Microsoft Teams and Zoom. 

    Microsoft Teams and Zoom are better than Webex, I have not seen anything special features in Webex.

    How was the initial setup?

    The setup of Webex is simple.

    What other advice do I have?

    I have seen Webex improve over the past year. My most recent meeting using Webex was good. Before Webex was the worst meeting platform I used. Every time I went into a meeting, I hang up there for approximately 10 minutes sometimes till I was inside the meeting. Zoom or Microsoft Teams did not have this issue, I was quickly inside the meeting.

    We mostly use Microsoft Teams in my organization. 

    I rate Webex a seven out of ten.
