The Webex App brings together Webex Calling, Meetings, and Messaging into a single application, fostering collaboration and unlocking more productive ways to work.
Highfive has much better video streaming than Skype for business. It allows for multiple attendees to stream at once and collaborate. The options for sharing your screen or desktop is good too.
I have used most of these products primarily as a user and rarely as a host. The one I have the most experience with is Join.me. I believe that product better matches my needs and is much more flexible for small meetings that I host from my laptop. What they do not have is more …
In my opinion, Zoom is a far superior product to Highfive because it has everything that they are missing. The ability to remove people from meetings was a huge pain point for us as people will forget to close out of Highfive and we had no way of removing forcing us to create …
We ultimately did not actually select Highfive. Zoom was more robust than Highfive was and we were already using Zoom for external meetings. We just decided to switch everything to the same licensing.
Webex is quite clunky. The user interface is not as simple to use as UberConference and you have to download an app in order to use it on your desktop. Because of this, new users are often late to meetings because of the time it takes to download the app. UberConference doesn't …
I haven't really used anything besides UberConference since I started my professional career. I know that RingCentral has something similar, but every other conference line I've seen has required a huge complicated PIN number. You won't believe how much of a difference that …
Zoom and RingCentral do not have a free version, to my knowledge. The technology for both is good but requires a download which causes delays for new users, especially when working with multiple clients.
Google Hangouts is my go-to but many clients do not have access to Google …
UberConference offering the conference line and screensharing functions for free was the reason we chose it originally. We looked at Clearslide, Zoom and Webex, and at the time we looked at them they all required a fee and they had a lot more bells and whistles than …
UberConference is comparable to the other platforms for conference calls. We use Zoom internally but vendors use it to schedule our demo calls for their products and services.
They all have a free version. They all have clear audio and video. Skype has unlimited amount of time allowed where Zoom and now UberConference limit your calls to 45 minutes and then they just cut out.
UberConference is so much more intuitive, easy to use, and easy to manage compared to FreeConfereceCall.com. The controls over user access and communication is unmatched, too. There's really no reason to ever use FreeConferenceCall.com once you experience UberConference.
UberConference is a much cleaner tool than the other options out there. I prefer to host all conference meetings so we can use UberConference and avoid the other choices. Any time I'm invited to a meeting and a PIN is required, it's become a chore and annoyance.
Uberconference in my opinion is the best software out there. One of the things that makes it especially better than all of the other options is that there is no additional software needed for us our our clients. We used to have so many issues with downloading software and …
I like the fact that UberConference does not require any downloads. Our being able to conference with clients and colleagues that may not be tech-savvy or may have their computers locked down by IT makes a huge difference to us. UberConference ease of use and free use tier are …
UberConference is free and easy to start and invite users to. It lacks the features of other paid options like Zoom and Slack, and even Zoom's free plan can often satisfy many of our requirements over UberConference.
Much better integration with phones and video terminals. End-to-end encryption and ease of use. Many things are much easier and more intuitive to do in Cisco Webex. Convenient management of security policies for the entire organization. Easily join a meeting from any device or …
The Webex App is much more intuitive to use. It allows us to connect wirelessly to a video camera much faster, with just one click. Furthermore, its integrations are very beneficial for our daily work.
We do use Teams for internal communications, but for external communications with vendors, contractors, etc., Webex has way more features to have productive meeting sessions. And aside from Teams, it has the lowest per-user cost with a great option for a full bundle of $25. It …
During a meeting, I can pause screen sharing without needing to remove it. Voice cancellation is amazing in Webex, whereas Teams includes all noises. The organization of teams and groups, as well as calling and messaging, is way better. more widely used and can be accessed even …
Slack is nice, but Webex App pairs better with my Dell computer in my opinion. It is really easy to use. All of my peers seem to enjoy it as well. It is very easy to compare notes, share feedback, and plan out a sales process from the confines of my own home.
Webex app is being adopted in our manufacturing organization from decade and they are very habitual to use Webex rather than using other new app. Instant chat, file sharing, video calls or even setup meetings are so up to mark and simple that users across organization are using …
I enjoy how it Webex can be used solely for phone calls or clients. I do use teams as my main source of communication for staff. So it is nice to have separate apps for different areas of my work life. I do wish there was a way to tell who was active or online. This would help …
UberConference is well suited to almost any application. It is best suited for teleconference or p2p meetings over the computer. It can be used as a dial-in conference bridge but the paid tier offers more functionality on that level. It can even be used to technical support due to the built-in screen sharing feature and can be extremely useful when the end-user has no way to install an application privilege escalation. I would not recommend this as it's primary feature as this limited to just seeing what is on the screen and not so much geared toward remote-control or admin level administration. Uber Conference is extremely easy to setup and create spaces for having online meetings, it really excels at this and has handy visual aids to let you know what is going on with everyone else.
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.
I appreciate being able to select a local phone number: it adds credibility and convenience for in-market clients/prospects.
I like being able to customize the hold music. One of our employees wrote and produced custom hold music for Anvil, which generates discussion and engagement as an ice-breaker.
The screen sharing is easy-to-use and is far more reliable than in the past. Prospects and clients do not have to download any app to make it work properly.
UberConference is more expensive than some of its competitors and we have not found a real advantage to using UberConference over certain less-expensive applications. UberConference charges per month per organizer and those costs add up quickly, so we will be moving forward with a more budget-friendly option in the coming months.
We really like the flexibility of jabber. With the exception of a few quirks that we have found, we see a bright future with it. We depend on it daily and will continue to do so for several years to come. As our team grows, more users will be using it and more screen sharing will be done. It it an indispensable tool that we simply could not imagine going without. It makes communicating so much easier when time is of the essence.
The interface is intuitive and stupidly simple, no complicated sub-menus or configuration settings. Easy to create a meeting space and then have others join with a link or dial-in PIN on the free tier. On the paid tier it's even easier with PIN-less joining and automatic reminder calls to get participants to join.
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.
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.
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.
I haven't needed support for the most part, which is a positive for Highfive. It's intuitive and most features are straightforward to use. In the one instance that I did contact them, it took them longer then expected to respond, but they were able to answer my question once they did.
The support team is quick in reverting to the issues faced, and it has multiple language support, which would be very helpful for some instances. Their expertise in resolving queries is instantaneous. Most of the common lags/issues in the application are identified and fixed with regular updates.
I would rate the in-person training 9/10. The session was highly interactive, providing opportunities for real-time questions and hands-on experience, which made the learning process more engaging. The trainer was knowledgeable, addressing our specific needs and ensuring that all participants fully understood the material. The structured approach and practical exercises helped reinforce key concepts. However, allocating more time for hands-on practice and group discussions could have further improved the overall experience, making it even more effective.
Very easy to create. All operations are done without any problems with our business growth. All people like the experience including me as an instructor. The tools that WebEx App offers us are very complete for working in a virtual classroom, whether it is sharing the screen, the different display modes, the whiteboard, or even the scoring tools on the screen, it allows me to do my job as an instructor as if I was face to face with the participants.
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.
UberConference offering the conference line and screensharing functions for free was the reason we chose it originally. We looked at ClearSlide, Zoom and Webex, and at the time we looked at them they all required a fee and they had a lot more bells and whistles than UberConference. Not all of our customers are very tech-savvy, and many of them appreciate UberConference's interface and ease of use.
Much better integration with phones and video terminals. End-to-end encryption and ease of use. Many things are much easier and more intuitive to do in Cisco Webex. Convenient management of security policies for the entire organization. Easily join a meeting from any device or browser. Support for additional features on local communication devices.
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.
Our teams use this every day. It makes it easy to meet with clients and share a screen and display analytics.
Some of my clients thought that they need to register first to be able to contact me. It's bad that they are not notified in any way that it's enough just to enter its names and that's it.
Webex App has really helped in implementing virtual work or working from home, thereby increasing the productivity by saving the traveling time to office. So, it's hard to express it in some measurable matrix, but for sure it has increased the productivity and also, the better document sharing and presentation tools, helps the meeting to be very crisp and super productive.
