Chose Microsoft Teams
For me, Teams is also very useful and very user friendly just like the others.
Although competitors such as Slack and Webex can really stand up to MS Teams, our organization chose Teams as the predominant work communicator. Working within this decision, we are overall happy with the feature set that Teams provides. In my opinion, the advantages of its …

we actually use both Webex and Microsoft teams. Internally, we mostly work with Webex, but we have multiple clients with which we need to exchange on a project basis, and they use Teams . Therefore we leverage our business licensing with Microsoft and enabled Teams for our …
The only reason of use of Microsoft Teams was its price, which was smaller that the price of competitors. But despite the lower price, Microsoft Teams supports fewer functions and provides less quality.
First of all, Microsoft Teams wasn't my selection. If I had to choose, my organization would be using Webex Teams due to the integration it has with our phone system. Really, I feel the tools are very much the same minus that. The one thing I will say about Microsoft Teams is …
Personally, I have used a number of applications similar to Teams for a variety of functions. However, with regard to my current organizational use, I would say my experience with Teams provides a much more well-rounded user experience than Skype for Business. Teams performs …

Microsoft Teams is the main competitor of the Webex App. But it provides services for less cost than Webex App. And also teams are used by majority of companies in software industries due to its support for other Microsoft services.
Webex App is far superior to Calendar Hero, Microsoft Teams, and Hub for Teams in many ways but most importantly it was more cost effective for our small business. It was also more user friendly and worked on many platforms, besides just the app, desktop, etc as well. We …
Based on comparisons with similar tools, here’s an evaluation of how Webex App stacks up:1. **Microsoft Teams**: Offers a robust set of collaboration features, including document sharing via SharePoint and integrations with Microsoft Office. However, Webex App excels in terms …
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 …
Webex stands out for its comprehensive features and enterprise level security that cater well to hybrid work environments. Webex app is a unified communication tool unlike other platforms.
Webex App is better than other tools because it can be easily used both by employee and internal partners and external ones. Other tools ask for credential passcode or tailor made permission, Webex App doesn’t work in this sense and this is a plus. Also Webex App reminds you …

Zoom and Google Meet are cheaper in costing but Webex App is more efficient in handling team wise meetings, sending email notifications about the meeting and notifying people just before the meeting. Zoom and good meet are advised if the costing is to be considered as a …
Our organisation has decided to use Webex for internal communication. Unfortunately, I don't know the reasons behind this, it was decided by IT and not by the individuals in the organisation. As far as I know, however, the majority are satisfied and would recommend Webex to …
Teams natively integrates services and features of our organization because we are a Microsoft shop. For this reason alone, WebEx will never compete. Slack, however, is a trendy solution that integrates well with everything (as long as you are willing to work with 3rd party …

Cisco Webex Teams and Microsoft Teams are video conferencing and collaboration platforms aimed at streamlining business communications. Microsoft Teams is known for its collaborative tools and integration with Microsoft Office. It is the successor to Skype for Business, which will be phased out in mid-2021.
Cisco Webex Teams is part of the broader Cisco Webex family, acting as the suite’s go-to collaboration tool. In addition to standard web conferencing features, it also features tools that help with file sharing and team management.
Both solutions are primarily used by mid-size and enterprise-level organizations, likely because both products are designed to manage the communications needs of organizations with hundreds or thousands of employees.
Features
Key features for Cisco Webex Teams include chat (both for teams and company-wide channels), video meetings, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. Cisco Webex Teams is particularly designed to integrate with existing calendar systems to facilitate the ease of scheduling meetings with various members of an organization. Cisco Webex Teams is suitable for those already familiar with other Cisco Webex products who want to stick with a familiar interface and system.
Microsoft Teams is designed as a centralized location for communication and collaboration. From a single application, users can chat, make calls, share files, and schedule events. Its integration with Microsoft Office allows users to edit and comment on Office documents in real-time. Contact search tools help find exactly who you need to talk to by name, role, or department.
Limitations
Microsoft Teams has a large feature set, but its usability can suffer as a result. New users may have trouble onboarding with the software, and even experienced users might struggle with the interface. Administrators report that the permissions management system feels clunky and non-intuitive. Microsoft Teams can also be taxing on computer resources, with high CPU, memory, and battery usage. If computer resources and easy onboarding are at a premium for your business, both Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex Teams need to be compared to alternatives that are easier to use out the gate and less memory intensive.
One of the biggest limitations of Cisco Webex Teams according to users is its lack of integration with non-Cisco products. Reviewers commonly point out that while they enjoy Cisco Webex Teams for team chat and collaboration, they would still like to be able to use it alongside other web conferencing software. Cisco Webex Teams may not also have the most intuitive and easy-to-use interface compared to other collaboration platforms and may require more hands-on training if being newly adopted.
Pricing
Pricing for Cisco Webex Teams varies by the number of users for business-wide adoption. Cisco Webex Teams has a completely free client with more limited features than its full, paid version. Users of the free Cisco Webex Teams client can still expect unlimited team messaging, screen sharing, and up to 5GB in file sharing, but are limited on the number of participants on each call or video meeting. Free clients also miss out on features from the paid client such as administrative controls, SSO, and live support.
Microsoft Teams has four tiered purchasing options. The free tier includes all of the core features, such as audio/video calls, screen-sharing, real-time collaboration within Office documents, and file-sharing (limited to 10 GB). The business basic tier is $5.00 per user per month, adds meeting recordings, and increases the file-sharing limit to 1 TB plus 10 GB per license. The business standard tier is $12.50 per user per month and adds desktop versions of Outlook, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. The final tier, Office 365 E3, is $20.00 per user per month and adds the ability to host online events for up to 10,000 attendees.

File Sharing & Management
Comparison of File Sharing & Management features of Product A and Product B
Positive: The virtual workspace created for a work team within the same company, for the resemblance of information and communications in one place.Negative: The access for members of a non-profit organization who have external emails from the host but need the same access as an internal person since their volunteer work is part of the very core of the federation.
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 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.
The feature of notifications in the mobile application could be improved. Sometimes notifications of different teams are not visible and are only visible when the application is opened.
It uses lots of computational resources while running and thus, slows down the system sometimes.
It allows a few channels per team. The number of channels could be increased for better productivity.
Microsoft Teams is included with our Office 365 subscription and we have no intention of migrating off of Office 365 and Microsoft products. Since Microsoft Teams is included for free with our Office 365 subscription, and since we enjoy all the features, benefits, and functionality, there is no question that our team will continue to use the product
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
User experience has been much better than the previous Skype for Business app. It has an easy-to-use interface with persistent chats. The search feature is very fast and useful. MS Teams has mostly focused on Collaboration and team building features which are very useful for organizational communications. Since Teams is accessible from multiple platforms like Laptop, Desktop, Mobile phones, etc it has been very convenient from a Mobility perspective.
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.
Using Microsoft Teams has resulted in much faster business communications with both co-workers and consultants. There has been little need for support with this software as the interface is very intuitive and the product is overall very well designed. We did encounter an issue with the built-in phone service, however, this was quickly resolved by the support team.
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.
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
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.
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.
Our company and IT department previously used Skype for our communication needs. Skype was not dependable in my opinion, because it seems each time I used it during a call and/or a meeting, I and several other team members would get disconnected more than once. This caused a great interruption of our meeting, caused team members to have to ask others to repeat themselves and caused a general lack of interest in employee attendance during 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.
Honestly, this tool is worth every penny. Yes, it's not free and you pay for the quality of services and the license. But the ROI and the benefits are all there. Also, the renewal, negotiation, and contract terms are all very well explained by our Microsoft account manager, and she's a charm.
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 used Skype for Business to take calls, hold conferences, and provide remote assistance to users. Microsoft Teams, on the other hand, is superior to Skype for Business in my opinion. My job entails a lot of screen sharing.
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.
