Likelihood to Recommend We use WebEx Support Center in the IT department to support users as well as work with vendors remotely. This applies to physical desktops, laptops, and Virtual Desktops. We have around 200 employees. Most employees work in one of our offices, but we do have at least 5-10 users who are more frequently remote than they are in the office. It helps us remotely access machines we wouldn't otherwise have access to, due to lack of physical access. It's excellent for troubleshooting access problems from users' personal machines, as well.
Read full review I really can't give another score than 10. Normally in this case I would select 9 because there is always room for improvement, also for ISL [Light]. But the availability, the service and the very useful options and possibilities you can choose are a blast to work with! Until today I have never ever been once disappointed or let down and was always there when I needed it the most.
Read full review Pros Simple Remote Access - WebEx Support Center works with either a permanent install or temporary executable, so you don't have to worry about users being particularly comfortable or knowledgeable about software installation. It also doesn't matter if the user is on an account without admin rights, you can still connect and see what's going on using the temporary executable. Robust Access Options - You can take see the user's screen, take control of their screen, send files, and retrieve files. It's a great tool for troubleshooting issues that users might be experiencing and doesn't depend on them being able to find the files that you need to properly troubleshoot their issues. Great performance - Even when users don't have a particularly great internet connection, you can still typically get good results and help them quickly. You're not going to do it over dial-up (if that even still exists for anyone), but it works acceptably well even over very modest DSL or satellite internet connections.

The look and feel is a little rigid. It feels like it is in need of a smoother UI update. When a new user is introduced to webex and they are asked to share their desktop, it maybe a little difficult for the user to navigate to the correct buttons. Read full review I would like the chat not to get in the way during the sessions, although it is something not so important if it could be seen better. Something in the design does not look so modern, I would like its interface to look more attractive. Read full review Likelihood to Renew The Enterprise package we purchased (Event Center, Remote Support, Meeting Center, and Training Center) for 100 users is the same annual price as GoToMeeting for 25 users. We will renew as it is a package deal. If it were just WebEx Remote Support, we would not renew at all.

Read full review Usability Honestly, there are people available. But none of them will help you with your issues. They just keep assigning new service engineers who are often clueless.

Read full review Support Rating As a user of Cisco Webex Support, I have never had to contact Cisco for technical support as it is a very easy to use tool.
Read full review Only ever needed them when renewing the licence.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I would say that Cisco Webex Support stacks up pretty evenly in capability, but in some regards (video clarity, toll-free access, etc.) they were even better. Where they did provide a better solution for toll-free access on audio bridges, their audio quality was worse for those that wanted to use VoIP for the audio conference bridge.
Read full review When I performed a little market research I found out that ISL Light has great competitive pricing. Especially a major benefit for me personally, is that there is the possibility to purchase the license on per-credit use (besides per subscription). Also, on the technical side, the software is quite 'lightweight' compared to other offerings.
Read full review Return on Investment WebEx Support Center works pretty excellently for us as we are a small shop. We are experienced and have pretty good skill sets. WebEx Support Center is an excellent product for our use cases with our users and client to troubleshoot issues. WebEx Support Center is more expensive than our previous product MXIE or Logmein. It has a more user-friendly UI, and overall performance is better and reliable. Read full review It has saved us in-person trips to handle situations where seeing the user's screen can get the job done It has allowed management of remote Windows systems that would normally require an on-site user Paying once for the local installation saved licensing fees to competing products.
