FreeConference.com vs. Webex Calling

FreeConference.com is best suited when the big-name video conferencing brands are simply not working. It offers an alternative when compatibility seems to be an issue when attempting to video conference. It is less appropriate for first invitations since most people are not familiar with the brand.

My company uses Webex for daily scrum calls, webinars with clients, townhall meetings with the entire company, internal departmental meetings. I personally use Webex for recording short tutorials, 1:1 meetings with my supervisor, sharing information with colleagues, file sharing and constant communication with other team members. Webex may not be appropriate if you have unstable connection. It causes lags in video calls, messages may take a while to be delivered, Audi during voice calls lag, it can be frustrating.

because have been using it and its easy to configure and manage

It is a very easy product to deploy and configure and to really take advantage of. It does not matter if you are using it in an office or your home, or for a security office or a collaboration meeting room - you have the right endpoint available for each case and the configuration parameters to improve the functionality you need.

I have been working for a long time with Cisco as a provider and also Cisco TAC and Cisco Support Engineers. The support starts right beforehand in the documentation of the product you are interested in. From the start you have a good, complete, and detailed and easy to read datasheet and there's always someone available to answer any questions.

Call quality is very similar to the above products. However, most of our community partners and collaborators are not aware of FreeConference and are thus less able to utilize it without prompting and sometimes assistance from us.

The differences between both software can be marginal in some aspects,
but for the campaign in a proffessional level it was a clear win to
Webex due the quality and security of the platform, being a Cisco
product has more impact on the final decision, and in the end the
overall experience has been great, having used Twilio in the past, that
last part is my personal opinion.

• BEST ROI ever! It's all free and has let me access people globally. Thanks!

• I don't make decisions on ROI, but Webex Calling is used quite widely in the organization.
• The ease of calling definitely makes it easy to coordinate across teams and geographies.
• Good performance in low bandwidth situations means that employees with lower bandwidths don't necessarily need to upgrade internet speeds to have video calling.
