Cisco Board Series vs. iSpring Suite

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.

This is one of the best authoring tools in the market. As a strong user of most of them, we ran across iSpring Suite years ago when the product was still evolving. Who would have thought that having these tools embedded inside PowerPoint would make such an impact? There is nothing I can't do with iSpring Suite that others claim is unique to their authoring products, and some things that I can do even better.

• 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.

• iSpring integrates with PowerPoint extremely well and enables the user to develop training in PowerPoint with ease.
• iSpring characters are fantastic. They continue to add more regularly features regularly.
• The voice recording and ability to integrate music is a very easy process.
• Customer service is fantastic. They are quick to respond and their training is easy to follow.

• 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

Incentivized

• Adding audio narration to interactive slides is easy, but still perhaps a bit repetitive/clunky
• The way you add playlists works well, but wish it was "project/course specific", instead of carrying over from project to project. Easy to delete playlists, tho.
• If you have a common set of learner resources to make available over many courses, you must manually add the URLs and/or PDFs manually each time. Would be so nice to be able to create a "reference list" and import it to each course with a click or two. This is the most annoying thing I can think of about iSpring.

I would give it 10 but I also like to try new solutions.

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.

The software integration was appealing to our department--particularly to the faculty who had not, prior to the pandemic, taught online--because it integrates with an already known entity: PowerPoint. Furthermore, iSpring's assessment builder with its wide variety of questions is extremely easy to use--basically plug and play--for any level of comfort that a faculty member has in terms of online teaching.

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.

I had a difficult issue where iSpring just stopped working. It turned out to be a Microsoft Windows/Office issue. The iSpring Support team continued to contact me until we got the issue resolved. A support team that does not wait for the customer to call back is EXCEPTIONAL. I can not think of any other vendor that was this devoted to finding a solution! My compliments to "Dana" and the rest of the iSpring support teasm!

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.

Therer are several other interactive video creation tools out there, such as Camtasia, Adobe Captivate and even PowerPoint on its own, but none of them come close to offering the galaxy of features that is served up by iSpring Suite, and it's the easiest to learn and use with affordable price tags

• 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.

• We allow potential customers to sample training and feedback is our offerings differentiate us from our peers.
• Having the ability to offer an accessible training catalog and self-enrollment is also something our customers comment on positively.
• The training developed in iSpring has allowed our customers to prepare for further interaction with our processes and projects on their own timeline, and has positively impacted the ease with which we are able to execute project rollouts.
