Webex Reviews

We are a services company, and we use Webex as a platform, depending upon the client that we have.

We use Webex, for training, and for meetings.

Webex offers a wide range of useful features.

It is comparable; they are all the same.

Webex is pretty robust.

The pricing could be improved.

I have been working with Webex for 22 years.

I use the most recent version of this platform.

Webex is a stable solution.

It's a scalable platform

Our company has 250 employees, and everyone uses Webex.

As it is client-driven, increasing usage is dependent on the clients.

We have contacted technical support, and have not had any difficulties.

I have some experience with Adobe Connect and Zoom.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is not difficult in any way.

We don't require a lot of staff to deploy and maintain this solution.

Webex is very expensive.

I would recommend getting training and learning how to use it well.

I would rate Webex an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for virtual meetings. My company is using the Cisco WebEx for most of their meetings.

It's very easy to access. 

It's straightforward to use and navigate around. 

We can do the global meeting with this solution.

Once you have an account, you can always set up meetings with people via Outlook. It's very simple. If you need to, you can just simply share the link with the people.

Users can connect from anywhere. If they have internet access or they have a phone, they can join a meeting.

Sometimes we've had issues with the connection.

We've been using the solution since that pandemic started. We've used it for a few years now.

The stability is pretty good. We had a multi-meeting, multi-location connected meeting, and it worked pretty well. We needed help from our IT team to set it up, however, once it has started, it worked well. It didn't crash or freeze. There weren't glitches.

The solution can scale well and we haven't faced any limitations. We've had a global meeting without issue, for example. 

Our entire organization uses the solution. There are thousands of employees.

We normally deal with our own IT team and not outside technical support. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

I can't speak to the cost. I don't handle the billing aspects of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It offers a good connection and is easy to use, however, sometimes we see there's a connectivity issue.

I only use WebEx to communicate with one of the managing directors, because that is his default meeting platform.

Webex has one-click calling, which makes things easier. You click, and it automatically dials in to the meetings without pressing additional buttons. It's easy for people who aren't on WebEx. That was helpful.

We switched from Webex to Teams because there was a lag in the WebEx experience and also a lack of integration. Easy integration with a free email account like Microsoft or Google would be helpful.

We saw lag issues more often when we had multiple people connecting.

We never contacted Cisco support about the lag issues because we didn't have time for a follow-up. 

Setup is marginally convenient, and that made a difference for the organization.

The price of Webex was reasonable. 

I rate Webex seven out of 10. Regardless of whatever email integration you have, one-click calling is the easiest. Getting two things together isn't so hard from a business user's perspective. But when you're doing multiple things, that one extra thing becomes an annoyance you don't want to deal with, and you're hoping that an IT team set it up for you already.

I am using Webex mainly to speak to my manager.

I have found a lot of virtual meeting solutions seem the same. Some might work a little bit better, it is difficult to pinpoint a particular functionality that's widely different, they all have screen sharing and video in-voice.

I do not like emojis. 

I have been using Webex for a while, within the past 12 months.

We have approximately 1,000 employees in Canada that could have used Webex at one time or another.

I have not used technical support.

The setup is straightforward in most cases.

Virtual meeting solutions are not perfect while working remotely. The quality of the service depends on many factors, such as the connection I am using or the servers. Occasionally it's not always clear or perfect. It's not Webex in particular or this solution causing the issue.

I rate Webex an eight out of ten.

I would give most of the virtual meetings solutions, such as Zoom, or Google Meets which I use for my kids. All those platforms are similar, none of them are perfect.

I have no idea which version we are using at present. 

It is difficult for me to put my finger exactly on what needs to be improved with the solution.

This said, I feel the greatest issue with the solution is its price. Small governments and modest-sized schools simply cannot afford it. 

I have been working with Webex for five-plus years. 

The solution is definitely stable. We are talking about a Cisco product and it has been around for years. 

My biggest issue with the solution involves its price, which I find to be prohibitive for small governments and modest-sized schools. 

I feel the solution to be stable and they are constantly improving on it. It is probably the best in the market for its kind. I have often heard anecdotally from those using Microsoft Teams that Webex has many features which it lacks. 

There is also Zoom, which people like, supposedly for its ease of use. Initially, there were many issues with it, not least of all that the database is housed in China. Yet, I feel they have since gotten passed these, as they experienced growing pains during the pandemic, when usage spiked. They started to offer the solution free of charge. 

I don't think Zoom has anywhere near the features and functionality of Webex.

I only use Zoom or Teams when another person does who has initiated the call. 

I can't say for certain how the solution is deployed, although this is likely on the cloud. I use the cloud-based version. I know there is an app, part of which, I assume, could be cloud-based. I mostly use the solution on my computer, which has a VPN connection. 

Issues I encountered in the past did not involve the product itself, but resulted from my computer and connections being slow. Moreover, as a company, we need to do a much better job training people. There is a need to learn with experience and I am not certain I did this properly. I feel the product has much more potential for use than I make of it. 

I find the solution to be convenient. In the past I found it to be a bit on the clunky side, but now the interfaces are pretty intuitive and they are constantly improving on the solution. 

I rate Webex as a solid eight out of ten. 

Screen share is the most valuable feature.

An opportunity they could benefit from would be a version that includes meeting transcription. I usually use a third-party product to do transcription.

In terms of Screen share, it would be helpful to have more control over what is being presented on the screen. They may have that functionality, but I've never used it. For example, being able to click back to look at previous slides, even though the presenter has gone forward, or having some type of pointer mechanism that helps to call out different areas of the screen when presenting.

They may already have a function for this that I am not aware of, but I would like to see more whiteboarding capabilities. I would think of this in terms of post-it notes or other things where you can facilitate some interactive engagement. There are products like Miro and CloudBoard, as well as a slew of others of a similar nature. I believe Microsoft Teams has something similar built-in. But, given how much time people spend in online meetings, I believe there should be ways to engage or create more engagement with the participants.

I have been using Webex for approximately six months.

We use the most current Windows-based version.

Overall, it is pretty reliable. Webex is fairly stable.

I have not had to use technical support.

I am also using Zoom. I use Zoom more frequently than I have used Webex.

I have been doing some research on Robotic Process Automation, Automation Anywhere, and UiPath.

I would suggest going through some type of tutorial. There's functionality under the hood that isn't always obvious, or necessarily easy to find. I have run into this type of problem before, such as how to flip the switch so that when you start a meeting, you're not automatically muted, and so on. You have to understand your configuration settings so that you don't waste time on silly challenges, particularly when you're in the middle of a meeting.

I would rate Webex a nine out of ten. I think it's comparable to other products on the market. I have a preference for Zoom just because I am more familiar with it and its capabilities. But apart from that, I think it's a decent product.

I like WebEx's stability and ease of use. The screen-sharing tools and audio controls are also nice. 

I was in a meeting on the free version where there were no controls. You couldn't mute somebody or put it in dedicated speaker mode. It was an important meeting, and because of the lack of an ability to control who the speakers were, we got a version of a heckler. Well, it wasn't really a heckler per se. It was just somebody who thinks they know everything.

I've had a WebEx account for more than 10 years.

WebEx is stable. It works. 

I don't use WebEx for large meetings, but it can scale up. I work in tandem with another guy in the automotive space. He has regular meetings of anywhere from 16 to 30 people. He can easily manage the speakers and things like that. He pays for the subscription and gets all the features because he needs them. 

Installing WebEx is straightforward. It's just a couple of clicks on an executable installer. You can log in with an ID or not.

I use the free version, not the enterprise version. The only compelling reason to go for paid WebEx pay is if you're hosting large meetings.

I rate WebEx 10 out of 10. 

We are using the latest version for Mac.

We primarily use the solution for meetings with coworkers. 

When the solution is used comprehensively, the hardware and camera features combine to make it better than all others I have encountered. This is because the camera moves in tandem with the person who is using it to communicate with the other participants. 

This is one of the solution's best features. I have not encountered such features with Zoom, which are essentially involve one-on-one meetings. Webex has the hardware to allow for this. 

The price should be improved significantly. The software, licenses and hardware combine to make the solution extremely expensive. 

The interconnectivity of all of the solution's facilities and functions can be more complex than that which is involved in basic configuration, when equipment, telephone extensions or other mobile apps are thrown into the mix. 

To be sure, the solution is stable. 

The solution is certainly scalable. A feature we were lacking in Mexico involved the capability to interconnect with the local telephone companies. We are talking about the prospect of increasing the usage. During this year and last, we increased the use of any kind of non-contact communication using Webex or Zoom, the latter being preferred by some our customers who have Zoom implemented it in their companies - the reason we utilize it. However, for internal use, we exclusively utilize Webex. 

We receive good technical support from Cisco. 

We have been using Webex since I first entered the company in 2012 or 2013, as the company places a premium on fiscal solutions. It is for this reason that it adopted this technology from the outset. 

The solution combines its hardware and camera features to give it a superior edge over all others, with the camera moving in pace with the person who is communicating with other participants. I consider this to be the solution's most valuable feature and have not encountered it with Zoom, which is basically geared towards one-on-one meetings. 

The difficulty involved in the initial setup can vary. The solution is easy to configure for basic use, such as one-on-one meetings or those involving multiple parties. It is more difficult to interconnect all the facilities and functions when one adds equipment and telephone extensions or other mobile apps. 

While I do not recall how long the deployment took, the configuration of all of the functions lasted two or three days. However, there is a need to be certified by Cisco, Webex and IP telephony for this solution. 

When it comes to the deployment and maintenance, there are a couple field agents who are responsible for this. 

I cannot say for certain whether we have seen an ROI, return on our investment. 

I find the solution to be very expensive. The software, licensing and hardware add up significantly. 

I do not have the licensing figures offhand, but the prices vary with the features one wishes to add to the license. There exists the option of a free license for one-on-one or one-on-two video calls, but adding more people requires one to upgrade his license. 

The licensing fees vary with the features one utilizes, web or call conferencing incurring a basic licensing fee. An upgraded license is required if one wishes to add a mobile app or conference. There is, yet, a separate license for integrating one's computer, cell, office or desk phone. We are talking about a sort of unit for each of the features, different licensing fees applying for those which are basic, intermediate and complete. I believe these range from $120-$130 up to $700. 

I feel the solution to be very complete. 

I am a Webex customer. 

While there are 20 to 25 people making use of the solution in our organization, we also use it with another company of ours which has implemented it and this places the number in the company at around 25 to 30 people. 

Each person has a different role and is dispersed in a disparate location in the north and center of Mexico. 

I would consider the move from on-premises to cloud-based implementation to be a positive step. This makes the solution a good instrument in such countries as the United States, the UK and Germany, where there is much integration with the local cell or telephone companies. We are talking about a good investment, as it allows one to integrate his office or home phones with the solution. 

I rate Webex as a nine out of ten.
