User Testimonials
	Cisco Room Series
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Cisco 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Cisco 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. Incentivized BF Bob Fitzgerald Manager of Technical Services Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Cisco 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Cisco 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.

Performance	Cisco Great product with a great user experience Incentivized Brian Munn Network Services Manager Read full review
Support Rating	Cisco 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. Miguel Sanchez Ingeniero de soporte a redes Read full review
Implementation Rating	Cisco Very easy to implement. Integration into our Unified Communications platform was simple and quick Incentivized Brian Munn Network Services Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cisco 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Scalability	Cisco The product and backend systems are designed to scale from small to very large organization seamlessly and easily Incentivized Brian Munn Network Services Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco 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. Incentivized MS Mehrdad Sharifi Collaboration Engineer Read full review
