I just deploy WebEx calling for one customer a few months ago and yes there was using an old infrastructure OnPrem on-premise. They have migrated to WebEx calling and they're very happy with this solution because they have some new features that they don't have with their old infrastructure. Now they have some new features even if they don't really pay for it, they have it and they are very happy. For example, they don't own a Cisco Unity server and now it's WebEx calling. They have the SVI function, they have the voicemail function and even if they don't have in mind to merge to WebEx calling in order to have these features, they have these features and they're happy to discover it and now they're using it. So it's very a good experience.

  • It might be that we didn't have this package, but transcription capabilities were not included.
  • Sometimes, using Webex Calling would make my computer and other programs run slow
  • If screens were being shared, it required a lot of bandwidth and sometimes froze or glitched.

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 had a question, and had my answer that same day.

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.

Ring4 had everything we need in a business phone line in a more simple format and less expensive.

Cisco
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.

Return on Investment
Ring4
  • Less expensive business phone
  • Can answer on the go
  • Less to manage, more simple

Cisco
  • 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.
