    WebEx is inferior compared to Google Meet and Zoom. We chose WebEx as some of our clients use WebEx and we wanted to have commonality. For a majority of our work, we use alternate tools. Other tools have easy integration with email / work suites. WebEx is late to the game and …

    Google Hangouts Meet is free and security is not a concern. Hangouts also follows a brand name that establishes strong reliability. The integration with Gsuite and Gmail is the icing on the cake.

    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.

    Well suited for both our workplace and virtual meetings, especially when people are not in one place. It is also more appropriate with audio, visual, and captions. It is also more appropriate to send a recording to your drive for reference on parts that a host may not have captured.

    Pros
    Cisco
    • 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.

    • It allows multiple people to join in a meeting.
    • The admin can change the role and make anyone as admin of the current session.
    • Even if the meeting gets disconnected due to network in the admin's side error still it remains running on the user's side.
    • Multiple people can share screen together at the same time.
    • The admin can make the meeting open to all so that every time someone joins the admin does not have to allow them one by one. Once it's open, all can join without permission of the admin.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • 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

    • One major one — I always say that we cannot send attachments during the meeting. Teams has that, so I believe Google should add that as well. Because you can have the conversation in the messages, but you can’t provide a file. So let’s say I have a technical conversation with someone, and I want to share a document, like an architecture diagram — I cannot send it. We have to use Gmail or Drive for that. It can be integrated for sure, so that’s an improvement that definitely can be done.

    This app is still having a lot of redundant features as compared to other industry apps such as Zoom and Webex which offers much more on the functionality side along with the option to have greater user access control to the admin/host of the meetings. A sense of interaction is always found to be missing in Google meet which can be easily adopted in the Zoom

    Usability
    Cisco
    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.

    Google Meet is very easy and simple to use. I can schedule a meeting right on my calendar - it literally takes a few seconds. There is no additional app I have to open to schedule anything. Guests can click on the link easily to join any meetings. 10/10!

    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.

    Google does a great job of providing tech support for this product, as it does many others. Similarly, Google has FAQs that cover a large amount of issues faced by users. Problems have not persisted in our use of this product. Problems are resolved quickly and easily, with or without personal Google support.

    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.

    I use Microsoft Teams, but obviously Google Meet is much better than that because there are some challenges which I see as part of this. One of the main pros that I see here is that in Google Meet, whenever you have all those recordings as part of the Google Suite, you have those recordings stored in Google types. So that's the same Google product and everything stays in the same thing.

    I wasn't involved in the unit pricing factor. So far I used Google meet in the office where I got access to all these Google applications including the Google Meet feature. So I wasn't involved much in this pricing factor of Google Meet and also regarding the contact terms of the product.

    This is very good in the professional services as I started using this first for the professional service only. While using this Google Meet itself gives a professional feel as the UI works in a professional way. The video background modification, multi-screen feature, and some other features help in professional service.

    • 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.

    • It's definitely the way that we engage with our customers and each other. So I think it's really good that it can help you bring remote people together and feel like you've met with them online. And then when you meet them in person you're like, this tracks, this definitely coincides with who I saw online. So it definitely is a really good platform to just bring people together, but remotely.
