Cisco Webex Board Series vs TeamViewer Meeting (formerly Blizz)

Likelihood to Recommend

The Cisco Webex board is designed not only for audio/video meetings with sharing needs, but to make collaboration meetings impeccable. Mixed with Webex Meetings and/or Webex App (formerly Webex Teams), you'll get the ultimate collaboration experience. You can keep tracking of all docs/whiteboards you worked on and share it easily across the team. Unfortunately, it is a high end product, so may not fit in all budgets.

Blizz is great for any kind of video conferencing call, it brings a lot to the table and manages to execute its service very well. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for an affordable and solid video conferencing experience. In my opinion, it would suit both medium and small teams the most.

Very effective linking of different devices. Easy to join from anywhere/any device by just entering the meeting ID.
Minimal, intuitive interface that takes very little getting used to. I skipped the help section and still figured everything out within a couple of minutes.
Pairs with Outlook so you can view all your existing contacts from within Blizz. Really saves time and stops anyone being missed out.
Can support up to 300 participants.
Reasonable pricing structure. Free for personal use and still good value for the higher-level packages. You can also add local numbers for free.
Live text chat for use during a meeting if you have something to say but don’t want to interrupt the presenter.
A secured connection so there are no issues sending sensitive documents etc.
The audio and video quality has always been excellent (although I’ve come to expect this from any conferencing software nowadays).

Cons

If you are not a Webex Teams user there could be an easier way to save the whiteboards. They autosave into Teams but if you don't have that it's a clunky process to email the whiteboard to yourself. Not terrible, but not easy either.
They could make a mobile cart for these as you have to do to a third party to get a mobile cart and I would like to see a Cisco version of this.

As with all Cisco Support, there is no problem to say. Sometimes its longer but generally in 24 hours, the case is resolved. We never did any RMA for this type of device. We recommended the Cisco support for the Cisco Webex Board. Also, in case of a problem, you have a good Cisco community.

The last time I had interaction with Blizz by TeamViewer support was directly on their website in the Help option, I sent them a written message, and in a few minutes, they had already answered me.I think the technical service is efficient.

Alternatives Considered

Cisco Webex is best integrated between all apps and devices. The Webex boards are specially designed to work with Webex. Other vendors often have apps on not best suited devices and that causes many issues.

I’ve previously used household names like Zoom and Skype for my video conference calls, but neither provides as much as Blizz in terms of scheduling features.And to be honest, Blizz’s user interface and connectivity are as good if not better than those platforms, despite its relative newness.

Return on Investment

Hard to say...! To be honest, this a toy for big kids!
Price is high, so you must have collaboration needs, not only meetings needs to pay for that plus value.

Blizz ensures that my service quality rating is not compromised due to bad connectivity. Return on investment is 100%.
Blizz has a modern and simple design. This makes it easy for the user to get started as there is no learning curve.
Remote screen share is slick and the Blizz controls on-screen take up minimal space, taking nothing away from the user experience.
