Cisco Board Series vs. Cisco Room Series

This Cisco Board Series is helpful when it comes to quarterly risk assessment reviews. Imagine the following: your data is flowing out of several providers, the team is working on portfolio exposure, and somebody notices that there is a red flag in a specific sector. You have access to similar past data, superimpose market indicators, and make decisions on risk reduction strategies collectively at the same time, without having to switch through ten applications.

We had a conference room with a Radvision board that needed to be replaced. Our HQ is not fully Cisco but rather a mish mash of different products such as Rally bars, Poly, Radviison and Cisco. Putting Cisco into the conference room allowed us to have a single pane of glass for our needs.

• This board pro is equipped with a default NVIDIA artificial intelligence chipset. It enhances the remote conferencing participant's views to very good vision, making sure the LCD projector is clearly projected.
• Convenience of an integrated device since huddles consist of touch screens, cameras, speakers, microphones, and computing ability all bundled in a single device.
• The connectivity option available on the Cisco Board Series Pro includes HDMI, USB-C, and other options for wireless casting since the board allows connection through BYOD.

• Captures everyone in the room with its wide angle camera automatically.
• Counts the number of people in the video meeting.
• Puts the camera focus on the person who is speaking.
• Enhances the live meeting video experience with its AI features.
• Removes the overheads of manually setting up cameras and adjusting them.

• 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

• Perhaps any downside I might see is not necessarily with this product, it's more interoperability with other products. And I think these are all roadmap items that are being addressed. For instance, when you're in a Cisco meeting, it's not as feature rich as it might be as if you joined from a computer. However, as I said, these seem to be roadmap items which are coming along soon. Things like integration with the text or chat rather in a meeting, and also whiteboard integration.

By the time we are up for an upgrade, this particular series of products might not even been in the market. The typical product cycle for such products in the market are about 5 years. More importantly, the codec supported by such devices may also change by the time we are up for an upgrade. Even so, getting this system to a level of functionality we require was a frustrating ordeal that I do not look forward to during the next cycle.

It is very easy to use and pick up, even for people who haven't used these devices before. There can be some initial difficulty in knowing what to do and when, and the lack of remote control is a fairly big letdown. If the screen is far away from you, it is not great to have to keep getting up.

A lot of the features are really easy. You can just click connect and you're in. But using all of these other integrations and all these other features that are there, it's kind of the blind leading the blind as to how we use it. So it's probably the downside of it.

Cisco Webex Board Series comes from a reputed company like Cisco. They are known for their loyal customer base and a major reason for their customer base is their awesome customer support. They are quick to respond and the demo team explained very elaborately. The whole process was done within the given timeline. We are totally impressed by their support.

Cisco has always stood out for the excellent support and documentation on its products, this is one of the reasons why they are so well positioned. The means by which you can create a case and the response times are very good. I especially like the support through the Webex teams.

Very easy to implement. Integration into our Unified Communications platform was simple and quick

The Cisco Webex Board is part of the Cisco product line and is really well integrated as such. We have been using Webex for meetings and so it felt Natural to leverage the tools made for this environment. It's quite seamless for our users, even the novice ones. The other key element is that we knew that this significant investment was for the long term, and we trust that Cisco will keep bringing innovation to add to the user experience.

As a partner, I always used mainly Cisco products and offered them to my customers. I have personal experience with Avaya, Team and polycom but non of them provided me with the Premium feelings which Cisco does. Even the product quality and look of the product by itself gives you the premium experience. But I want to mention that Polycom has some features and easy setup which Cisco lacks sometimes. It is mainly 3rd party integration.

The product and backend systems are designed to scale from small to very large organization seamlessly and easily

• Increased Team Coordination: due to better communication, there was enhanced coordination in the completion of tasks.
• Informed Decisions Making, A variety of strategic decisions have been made with analytics.
• Sometimes the software has slightly slowed the decisions made in an organization due to the time it has taken in running the analysis.

• The Cisco MTRoA solution has reduced the time it takes for our users to join their meeting and spend more time concentrating on business rather than the technology.
• It simply works.
• Ease of support.
• We also appreciate the great support we get from intelligent folks in Cisco TAC organization.
