8x8 Meet (discontinued) vs. Cisco Board Series

The only issue that I have faced so far is learning the program. Being a new admin with 8x8 X Series, you have a lot of questions and need help figuring stuff out. They have great customer service. Every page on the admin portal they have a chatbot. When you need help you can click on the chatbot and right away you are either directed to helpful documents or a customer service rep.

It is best suited for video\audio calls and meeting use. you can easily connect to the meeting with an ID or your laptop and also share content easily in a couple of ways. It's less useful for large-scale meetings as attendees seem to get lost as their video can get shrunk or hidden offscreen.

• The system allows our employees to work from home and continue to be connected to the phone system.
• Meetings are easy to join & establish.

• The Cisco Webex Board is a fully featured devices that gives users all they need to interact in practical meeting rooms with their colleagues.
• It securely connects to our virtual teams. A high-resolution image of nearly the whole room is captured by a powerful camera.
• This is entirely for industrial design. A more is enclosed by powerful microphones.
• It's simple to install and use. It's a one-stop solution for all your needs.
• It is a great quality collaborative experience, which is easy to use and touch based.

Incentivized

• Less wait time on Service calls.
• Admin view is rather complex.

• It feels like affordability is a huge minus point in Webex because it can be too expensive to afford for a small to medium company
• Wireless connectivity needs a good internet connection to have a seamless experience.
• White board pen tool not precise with the screen location sometimes and refresh rate seems little low

Cisco Webex Board Series has great UI. It's very compelling to use. Touch controls are great and have never had any trouble navigating. However, screen mirroring can be laggy sometimes and frame drops are seen quite often while mirroring. Overall it's a great device to use with many useful features and optimized UI.

It's honestly hard to tell since we haven't had many hiccups, if any at all! We have used Webex support for other situations and it was great, but for the board itself, we only had one issue, when we received it, a pixel was broken and Webex replaced it. Fair to say they lived up to our expectations.

It is almost an unfair comparison as the base Microsoft Teams product doesn't have many whiteboard options. Both can screen share, but it's hard to make a fair comparison. That being said, the whiteboard is really great if you have the smartboard to support it and fully utilize its features.

Incentivized

• The cell phone app, 8x8 work, is great and allows users not to be tied to their desks
• Moves calls to other line if unanswered.

• It makes team meetings more productive. All team members can contribute simultaneously.
• After the meeting, all team members got access to the files discussed in the meeting and this allows you to continue discussions even after the meeting.
• The only negative impact of Cisco Webex Board on the company is its high price as I mentioned earlier.
