Microsoft Teams vs Webex App

Our entire company has been able to communicate via Microsoft Teams for large company meetings and use video to connect with each other. We've held large team meetings as well where everyone joins in with video to be able to see each others' faces from time to time since we're all now 100% remote. Microsoft Teams is an excellent communication tool between myself and my employees. The one thing I'd say that is a drawback is that my team member and I had a personal conversation and an IT person was able to view and even share our conversation with other bosses. I thought this was inappropriate and I wish there would be a way to be "alerted" when someone is spying in on your conversations!

Webex is suited for video calls with your team members. It can host up to a decent amount of people. You also have multiple features, such as sharing your screen, taking control of other people's screens, recording the meeting, and sending over files during meetings. It's less appropriate if you want to send a quick message to other people as a simple question. Sometimes you don't want to have to involve in calling people because you want things done quickly; Webex needs this.

• Video calls are great with Microsoft Teams. They've made big improvements over the last year and I rarely have issue with getting on. It's nice when things just work.
• The most used functionality is, of course, the chat feature. It does what it's supposed to do and you can create chat groups from whoever you'd like. We use it a lot when there is a special project and a team from various groups get together for a short period of time to get things done.
• An overlooked function is the ability to search anything within Microsoft Teams. Any photo, document, or chat can be searched and found pretty easily. I can't tell you how many times this has saved me from having to rewrite something or start over.

• High-quality, high-impact communications in our workflow.
• It's great for sharing large documents, it doesn't slow down our communications.
• The dark mode is excellent, it has a good image and seamless integration features.
• We can record meetings, which is perfect for backing up any information that may be overlooked.

• Found a bug where Microsoft Teams suddenly drops during an ongoing call even if there is no network issue from either end
• Screen sharing is also buggy. When we share our desktop screen on MS Teams the taskbar disappears and it's difficult to navigate through apps.
• There is a limit to PIN 15 chats a favourites. This count should be increased.

• Chromecast integration so that Webex can be sent to a normal TV or Monitor, rather than just to WebEx Boards.
• Having an option to create publically searchable spaces so that a community can be grown around Webex.
• A Meraki app/bot to push notification to the Webex App.

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

Now, we can't see any other option but Cisco Webex Teams and Cisco's collaboration products to keep our communications up to date and with enough tools and features to confront any posible situation, being a normal work year or a year like this 2020, wich has make us all prove ourselves what we're able to do in manners we haven't even think of before.

The overall functionality of the product is incredible in that it provides a one-stop solution for organization and communication. The product is also very well integrated into Microsoft Outlook and other Office apps. Visually pleasing and very easy to use interface. New features are constantly being added to enhance the user experience.

As I’ve mentioned before, Webex App's usability is the worst. I hate using it. It needs a fundamental rethink to make the design much more accessible. Look it gives me a headache from a UI/UX perspective. I want this app to get better but I hate using it. I wish we used Zoom

We have not ran into any availability issues or concerns with WebEx. Product reliability has been great

I believe as with any cloud based application or solution that your individual connectivity is key to making the product a success. WebEx works will with just about any internet connection from cellular to WiFi

I think Microsoft Team is overall good application for communication, track Project work inter the teams and also intra teams. I have 7 out of 10 because it needs improvements in certain features like video sharing call, call drop, audio quality and connecting problems even after having good internet connection.

The support offered by the Webex App customer support team is outstanding and very helpful. All the way from deployment, to set up to usage, any issues you dire t to them are responded to almost instantly. More so, they do follow-ups to ensure you are completely satisfied with the services they offered.

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

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.

I find everything I need for my day-to-day work.

Management involvement to get users to adopt is key. Users have a hard time changing to new software.

I enjoy Teams better than Lync/Skype for Business, but I enjoy Slack the most for inter-company communication and UI/UX convenience. The learning curve for Slack is very small and it has a casual atmosphere that would engage the employees in a more fun and welcoming manner than a stark and professional background of Teams.

I think Webex App is somewhat better than other video conferencing apps due to following reasons -

• Better quality of recorded sessions
• Better in terms of options for meeting customization
• Can be integrated with Outlook
• Ease of use

It does not mean that other meeting apps are not good, they are also very useful, but in the above mentioned areas, I find Webex App better in performance.

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.

Cisco has designed WebEx to be scalable from small companies with only a few employees to enterprise organizations with thousands or employees without loosing any features or functionality

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.

• I think it has allowed us to leverage our Office365 more effectivly since all of the apps are synced together.
• It has really allowed us transition away from more formal webex meetings and have a more free flow conversation.
• It also gives us a more direct line to our manager if we need there input they can easily join our team chat.

• We have a different approach because we are working in the Education field. Many students use now Webex in their jobs.
• Many teachers have now good skills for online education due to Webex conferences.
• Our students have good jobs and they manage to access Universities due to our Webex conferences.
