Slack is great for communicating with our remote team across the country. It keeps our teams connected when working on multiple projects and initiatives. Slack has more connectivity options than Google Meet, making it a valuable tool. Since we use other products, integration is …
None of the competition coming from the Microsoft or Cisco provide the user experience of today's consumerized social media. Slack, on the other hand, is fully on par with the best and most known social media applications that consumers use. Consumerization of IT shows here as …
Microsoft Teams is mostly for working in development teams and really not suitable as normal day to day messaging/collaboration tool. Skype for Business is reliable but not suitable for code management and has very high costs for movement to cloud. Cisco Teams is mostly suited …
I know a lot of other similar products but I didn't use any of them. So I can't really compare how Webex Teams stacks up against them. Microsoft Teams, Slack, Hangout, etc... What I can say is, Webex Teams is greatly integrated in Cisco Unified communication experience. You can …
We selected WebEx [(formerly Webex Teams)] primarily because we were already a WebEx customer. We were looking for a way to bring employees working remotely closer together and this type of platform seemed to fit the bill. We started testing with Slack and saw the benefits. …
Slack is very vanilla compared to what Webex Teams can do. The built-in Meetings in Teams allows for one less step when people are trying to collaborate. MS Teams is comparable but does not have all the built-out functions with regards to the meeting component.
Honestly, I think Slack might be better than Webex when it comes to document sharing and the chat feature (DMs and groups). I love the "channel" concept. But Slack does not stand up against Webex when it comes to integrating features such as phone call/device connection. If …
Webex has a simple-to-use interface, whereas Microsoft Teams can become easily cluttered and Slack can be lacking features. Creating quick team spaces looks pleasant and is easy to use on Webex.
Webex was the incumbent and I had no influence. Webex is enterprise - caliber and in many ways indistinguishable from the others, though it does seem to be slightly less reliable, as previously mentioned I find myself hitting "dead ports". MS Teams offers some very …
Security aspects applied in all ways of communications, as voice, chat and video, as well as collaboration when you must escalate from a chat discussion to a meeting, or when sharing a document on line or you screen, Webex App offers it natively. Your content is protected, no …
I still actually use both MS/Cisco Teams daily. I've been doing so long it almost feels natural and I mostly have muscle memory as to which contacts are on which platform. Teams between Cisco and MSFT have a similar look and feel but you definitely notice a much tighter …
Easy to use without any complications. The quality of calls is always better when compared to others. User-friendly, it can be easily explained to a customer for one-time use and there are no glitches or downtimes faced. Highly secured without any breach of privacy Wide …
I currently use both MS Teams and Cisco Webex Teams as our company has recently merged. I can say that overall, I love MS Teams way more than Webex teams. The interface feels smoother, the integration with other apps is better (SharePoint, flow, Powerapps, OneNote, etc). and …
Now, these softwares have their own pros and cons but the fact that Webex has a clean interface for IT professionals gives it a strong stand before any of them. It is very likely that the upcoming years will be Webex's year as the growth and development rate of the software is …
Lately, Webex is adopting many features of MS Teams. Both platforms can be used interchangeably, really depends on the participants and which platform is more compatible with all so that we can expect [fewer] problems for the planning and also during the execution of the meeting.
Since Webex app is a centralized app, it has made things easier for everyone. You can send files, start conversation within a chat, so that many variables make it richer.
Google Meet doesn't have much features, its a simple video conferencing web application. I don't think we can even annotate in it, let alone record sessions. Every Meeting invite I create is different, so there is no permanent address for the User. And there is no option for …
- Worldwide used by companies - It is very useful for remote access (for network supporters) - It is perfect for environments where the network has Cisco devices, it doesn't mean that other brands aren't suitable. - You can record the meetings, and training and use them for a …
Webex App gave us the opportunity to build teams and communicate information just in the specific team or share it with all colleagues. It is also good to discuss in teams, may start a conference when needed, and the use of whiteboard to clarify some processes. Also, we see …

Chose Webex App
In [the] German part of my organization, where I work, for long years Webex was the only tool for video calls, but also used as [a] main text communication tool for instant/ad hoc messaging. Recently MS Teams was added (and also used in other org. units of group). I value more …
One big thing that we enjoyed with the Webex app was the ability to not have to create a new account for every single cloud instance we would be taking part in. That was one large limitation we experienced within the Microsoft Teams application. Logging into different cloud …
Cisco Webex Teams I feel is best of breed and feature-rich. There were no features that a competitor had that Cisco Webex Teams did not. Through many acquisitions, we ended up with a plethora of collaboration tools, and because we were already a large Cisco customer, the …
