    The solution has almost everything I need to do my job, which is to keep in touch with my customers by phone calls and meetings. On the go, the softphone has room to improve user experience (Cisco Jabber), and as far as I know, Webex App should fill the gaps left by Jabber, but it depends to upgrade the system to the last version and that costs. Besides that, the solution is rock solid! Good audio quality in voice and video, integration with MSFT Teams and so reliable.

    Cons

    • The setup flow was limited, unclear, and was not working for a while, IT didn't manage to fix it.
    • The UI looks terribly old, not even a little bit looking like a hardphone.
    • More options during a call.

    • integrating multiple third-party applications
    • The initial setup and configuration can be a bit complex for new users
    • The documentation could be more detailed for advanced automation use cases, and sometimes the response time for support queries feels slower during peak hours.

    Usability

    All main features is very easy to access and use, only pressing a button or two (when you need to page up or page down the features set!) in the desk phone or a click of the mouse to place a call, start a chat, video call or a meeting. Very straight forward.

    I would rate a solid 9 in case of usability as it does its work perfectly without any lacks and delays, we are using it for almost 3 years now and have not faced any major bug or issue with it. along with that it's easy to construct a Flow end to end where you just drag and drop icons to make the nodes working together with each other and as well as its learning curve is very simple and can be used by a non tech person also.

    Cisco offers online instruction on the use of the VoIP but it has to be sought out. Likely, the do offer additional support but this is managed by our IT department so it is difficult to determine just how accessible Cisco has been regarding the implementation and ongoing support for this product.

    As we all know,Cisco is one of the best and trusted companies when it comes to networking,most of our materials were all Cisco,Cisco routers,Cisco IP phones..etc They're more handy and easy to use and don't require an IT experience,I used an IP phone to receive a call,and it was very easy to use and the sound was clear,here it comes the good configuration of a Cisco Voip PBx

    It doesn't stack against software like Teams - although Teams does have its own faults. Teams streamlines the communication between users, while Webex Connect feels outdated and is very glitchy. It is an ordeal to use Webex Connect when compared to Teams or even other similar applications. I do not recommend Webex Connect.
