Webex Meetings is a video conferencing solution powering hybrid work. It enables a seamless collaboration experience and better results with meetings that are designed to give everyone the ability to engage no matter their location, language, or communication style.
Pretty much the same. But Webex Teams seemed to run a bit smoother (take less local resources) than Microsoft Teams did. So that was a pretty good selling point. Also, it's kinds of a Skype vs. Webex Meetings question. Because obviously Webex Teams works great with Webex …
Webex (formerly Webex Teams) is a very easy to use and understand tool. It can be compared and used together with Webex Meetings, and if you want more security, you can use Cisco AnyConnect. All Cisco products can coexist with each other and work very simply without …
We really haven't used or evaluated any other products that compare to Webex (formerly Cisco Spark / Webex Teams) so I can't really compare them. We chose Webex Teams because I tried the free one for a while and when they included it with Webex Meetings it was a no brainer! It …
Security aspects applied in all ways of communications, as voice, chat and video, as well as collaboration when you must escalate from a chat discussion to a meeting, or when sharing a document on line or you screen, Webex App offers it natively. Your content is protected, no …
It has more functionality than Zoom. Zoom is only good if one is only looking for normal and audio calling software but if you are looking for a tool which is good for collaboration. Webex App also provides user friendly interface which is useful for both tech and less …
Cisco Jabber prevails over the Skype for Business option, particularly in those organizations where Cisco infrastructure exists, such as the Communications Manager suite, voice gateways and brand devices that use services for the PSTN, since integrations and interoperability …
I still actually use both MS/Cisco Teams daily. I've been doing so long it almost feels natural and I mostly have muscle memory as to which contacts are on which platform. Teams between Cisco and MSFT have a similar look and feel but you definitely notice a much tighter …
Zoom and Slack are the go-to platforms in our industry. People just know how to use them when they come into our company because they've been exposed to market share before. That wasn't the case with Cisco Jabber. It felt like a rarity. I keep saying it's a smaller player among …
I think Teams is more seamlessly integrated for functions within Teams, and certainly requires less customer expertise, as most of the heavy lifting is in the Webex cloud. I think that Skype integrates better for traditional federations as Teams really has no native solution …
It has more features, a LOT more security, ROI is in the region of up to 10x cheaper than our existing PBXes that are at sites. The Spaces and Teams set up is very easy to do, the extended features, once enabled, are even more so. The fact you can also manage it from a web …
The optimized and low use of the bandwidth is easy to install and there is a version for PCs and another version for smartphones.

Chose Webex App
Webex App has now integrated the above mentioned into their workflow allowing us to use one tool instead of multiple. We found previous tools in our environment out-dated and decided to move to webex and become an inhouse all webex shop.
I just started using this, but it doesn't seem as intuitive as Webex App. The presence status of others is hard to identify/understand. Also, the sync with the application on the mobile device seems not to work properly. It dropped the call I was in through my desktop once I …
Webex App is more integrated with our webex video devices and on-premise CUCM PBX solution and offers better way how to communicate with external participants - customers without the need to use multiple user accounts or instances of the app.
All of them are similar, the main advantage is using the whole Cisco stack, they integrate easy with a variety of Cisco products. And what makes them shine is the API integration with external tools for task automation.
The interface is way friendlier not only for the end user but for the admin. The console is super intuitive that even someone like me that had zero technical background was able to master the administration.
Some of our best practices vs Zoom and Skype include the use of AI and the ability to set clear goals for meetings. Easy navigating Webex features like screen sharing, polling, and Q&A. Testing of camera, microphone, and internet connections and making sure they are working. …
Audio and video quality seems lower than Webex Meetings. Also Slido and Vidcast being included with Webex Meetings at no additional cost make Webex Meetings a more cost effective solution.

Chose Webex Meetings
It is easier to use, more fast to open, have better audio and control the noise reduction technology. Also bring the polls with the Slido, that is very good. In mobile sessions is fast to transfer the user to a desktop meeting and vice versa without impacting the quality of the …
Webex Meetings integrates with other Webex products like Slido increasing our engagement and making the meetings or sessions more interactive. Additionally, the virtual backgrounds are highly customisable and the video and audio quality are better than that of other …
Webex Meetings meets or exceeds all other tools I've used in the past, both for call quality and tools/options. Some other tools have security issues, or lower tools and option sets, or are more difficult to navigate and use. Webex Meetings has it all and gets it done with ease.
We selected Cisco (including Webex meetings) because we had a Cisco on-prem UC platform that integrates to the Webex app which includes meetings. This allowed us to leverage our existing voice investment and have a single app for voice messaging and meetings.
WebEx meetings have been out long before the beginning of Covid 19. Therefore, it is a product that has been used by many industries in the past, and not just after the pandemic. in WebEx meetings, it is easy to schedule meetings, it is easy to share screens, and it is easy to …
I am not a big fan of Zoom but used for some ceremonies. Looks like some old tech, and I feel like it is not secure enough. Webex Meetings look more decent and authenticated, and more secure. CGI uses Teams for all their meetings; it's as good as Webex Meetings.

Chose Webex Meetings
I prefer Webex Meetings vs. Microsoft Teams. I feel like there are better features with Webex. The customers are like most of us, when they have to switch to a new platform (i.e. from MS Teams to Webex) is learning curve and big adjustment. They find features they like and …
My old company used to use a different tool for collab, but when I came to my new role they were using Webex teams and calling. This was so much more easier to navigate. I liked being able to be on the run and still answering calls and attending meetings.
I think Webex is the superior product to both Microsoft and Zoom. Microsoft's interface is confusing and the meetings are difficult to join. Zoom's interface seems unfinished and unprofessional like it is designed for consumers and is not appropriate for a business setting.
I think the main point is easy to use, without much complexity, along with proper and easy-to-follow documentation. Other tools that we have used and integrate with had higher complexity with not very proper documentation.
Webex has better integration capabilities than Zoom, including with other Cisco collaboration tools that we also use. It’s also more visually simple, which makes onboarding easier for new users, and encourages further use among existing colleagues. Webex meetings are also …
Zoom and Google Meet are really very good tools but, for me, Webex is the safest and most reliable of all. The support Webex offers is unmatched by other vendors.
We have deployed Webex Meetings as a BlueJeans replacement. Besides offering us the option to license very user at our university, including students, faculty, and staff this gives us other perks when coupled with the SPK-EDU offering Cisco has. We never owned licensing nearly …
We still use Cisco Webex Teams but not for scheduling meetings. Microsoft Outlook is still more dependable. They have also enhanced Teams a lot and it's a lot to learn.
It can be useful for organizations which uses hybrid and work from home model. By using this application we can seamlessly connect with each and every person in the organization. Used to conduct meetings about progress of project and can be able to present our data to others by screensharing option.
The first reason is the ease of use and availability, which makes WebEx work for all. The quality of audio and video is adorable. As a business development associate, I must make an impression on the other side, and WebEx helps me make first impressions. A few features are complex for new users but can be resolved.
The online meeting within the internal team using Webex App is always a good experience as it helps well in sharing screen, and any content for that matter.
It helps in arranging online interviews and it is also very good experience using the web version of Webex App.
It also helps in arranging online training sessions and webinars which generally involve huge number of participants generally over 200+ participants and Webex App handles it very well.
Only a few options are there for non-verbal feedback like hand raising or emoji reactions. They should work on it as expressing understanding or agreement would help collaborate with the cross-functional teams.
More options for creating custom workflows and integrations with internal tools would be helpful and the whiteboard also looks basic compared to other similar tools. I think, adding features like sticky notes and freehand drawing would be a great boost.
The mobile app is functional but I find it less intuitive and feature-rich compared to the desktop version. Should have parity in features and a more user-friendly interface will become more helpful for mobile users like me who sometimes conduct or attend meetings on the go.
While Webex has strong adoption on the administrative side, the LTI tool for Webex is lacking some important support for teaching and learning. Therefore, faculty do not see much value in Webex and prefer to use other tools that are easier to access and more likely to benefit their students within the LMS. Webex has not been the easiest to work with for identifying pedagogical roadmap improvements, especially compared to competitors who work closely in the education space
Because Webex Meetings is known for its consistent performance, with high quality audio and video that works well even in low bandwidth situations. This makes it a dependable tool for both small and large meetings without worrying about technical glitches. Also, the platform is easy to navigate, both for meeting hosts and participants. Features like screen sharing, chat, and breakout rooms are intuitive
Webex is quite usable, and it is, in fact very easy to use as well. You don't need a lot of documentation to learn how to use the app as it's mostly self-explanatory. The user interface is easy on the eyes, and people can see buttons without issues. Overall, WebEx's front-end design is great and I don't have much issue with it.
Webex Meetings does not provide enough audio feedback for users with visual disabilities to properly navigate the tool. Students, faculty, and staff who are blind or have low vision may not be able to use Webex Meetings. Users with motor disabilities that navigate via keyboard, may not be able to navigate the web conferencing session enough to participate fully.
I would say every time I open it, it is there, there are times that our users have to sign out and back in to get it to work or even do a full exit as the app will disconnect from the controlling the desk phone, but some easy steps to sign-out or fully exit the app gets the user back up and running quickly.
So personally I have never faced any kind of meeting unavailability issue while scandaling meeting with WebEx the bandwidth is really good and in terms of application performance the same is my opinion what I mentioned for availability it is good and the objective of communication is quite fruitfully achieved with a simple and effective product like WebEx which is often bundled with the purchase of course which is which we have at our company and great discount is being offered so it is easy on our pocket. I really don't have any specific errors which have faced I should mention over here the operation or application uses is quite smooth.
On standalone it works fine, it used to consume a considerable amount of system resources in the past, but with updates and upgrades, this has improved quite a lot. As far as integrations with other systems, we have not come across any critical issues with the app.
We use browsers to join Webex Meetings and it is very good no issue also appears from Webex APP is very organized and does not consume more resources of PC so no issues appeared. We join audio and video in many ways, all of which are good. We integrated it with active Microsoft Exchange with easy deployment.
Talking about Webex App technical support is talking about the quality because they are always attentive and willing to attend to our needs, and the response is immediate; every time we have needed help to solve a problem or find out a function, they have not responded quickly, Cisco has always been characterized by being efficient and deserving 10 points.
The support cases can be opened instantly. The support engineers can support you via Telephone, E-Mail, WebEx Meetings, and My favorite WebEx application.24X7 Availability of the engineers. Step-by-step guidance is available by an engineer. https://help.webex.com/ - Great Site for instant FAQ's. https://status.webex.com/ - Is helpful to identify the updated schedule of WebEx or to know the server status of WebEx services.
I am very satisfied with my experience with Webex App in online training. The creation of the event is very easy with the possibility of scheduling it in advance. The management of participants, organizers, and animators is complete. The invitations are automated and by simply using emails we can create all the schedules of the training session
It was straight to the point and very informative. effective training often includes clear explanations, hands-on practice opportunities, time for questions and answers, real-world examples, and follow-up support. If you're trying to assess the quality of a specific training session, you might consider these factors. For organizations looking to assess the quality of their in-person training, it's best to solicit feedback directly from the participants. This can be done through anonymous surveys or feedback sessions, enabling the organization to gather firsthand information and improve future training sessions accordingly.
I would rate the online training 8/10. It provided clear and well-structured content, making it easy to understand the core features of Webex. However, I believe it could have been more interactive, with practical exercises or real-life scenarios to enhance user engagement. More advanced topics or troubleshooting guides could also be helpful for deeper learning.
It was very interactive and well explained. The trainor is very much knowledgeable of the product. He was able to answer all of our inquiries in a timely and professional manner. There were lots of exercises done during the duration of the training to ensure that we have a better view on what to expect from the product.
There was quite a bit of back and forth with TAC and Cisco Reps to get it fully up and running but we did get there. Some of which had to do with documentation was not fully understandable. But with Cisco TAC we were able to get fully up and running.
That we needed complex implementation that we didn't get tells me 2 things: 1) the product was not designed in a way that "just worked" like some of its peers (Zoom / BlueJeans) and 2) had our company defined actual user needs and validated / verified that they had bought something that matched those, we would have pursued features / designs more closely aligned with what the product actually does: screen share, sometimes video, definitely VOIP audio (always an option regardless of license), and easy recording and retrieval of meetings.
Microsoft Teams, while being built for more file sharing, completely misses the mark. I prefer Webex App which focuses on being a great chat tool, rather than trying to become something it is not. Slack is preferred over Webex App, but just barely, and it is only because Slack has a slightly more intuitive group discussion function.
The ability to transfer multimedia files directly into the platform and a very robust free plan helped me make the decision to try out Webex Meetings. Easy to set up in a company environment and accessible once the learning curve and sign up process are complete. In-platform web navigating is also a nice feature when onboarding new staff or doing market research.
Once everything is in place on the back end getting Webex on a user's PC is now very easy and with single sign-on, users are able to sign in without having to remember another password. Just make sure you have all the user settings in CUCM, CUC set right, and that they have the needed licenses in Webex Control Hub.
I work for a Fortune 500 company with many employees so I can testify to its usability for large corporations. In addition, I use the software within my small team of sales reps so it is always usable on a small scale as well. In my eyes, this tool is scalable for businesses of all sizes without any hiccups or issues.
Comfort in switching multiple OS platforms, when there is similar UI design.
HD video quality and HD screen share, make up presentations look more professional and standardized.
Less call/meeting drops as seen in other platforms applications.
Builds a level of trust, when we connect on Cisco's application platform with customers who are having their whole communication infrastructure shifted to Cisco Webex App.
The costly nature of individual accounts across multiple schools made it difficult to maintain the budget when our student population grew exponentially.
Often communicated to clients and stakeholders that we were a trustworthy and elevated provider.
Limited engagement and interactive features with students often contributed to complaints around student engagement and buy-in.
