Webex Connect is a necessity for many of our clients, and we have observed that their whole infrastructure is built around it. This proves to be more helpful, when you are working across platforms across multiple apps. Apart from that, managing client onboarding in projects, auto responders, creating channels, creating automated flows, pushing updates to keep them in loop, are some of the features that we use on a daily term. For me, Automation of flows was relatively new, and to see it in action for the first time was an incredibly new experience. Especially the part where I did API integration for our internal chat module.
Depending on what the persona is, as I said, if you are in a big campus where everyone is out and about within the facility, it suits that high-end architectural infrastructure base or working from home where you're just logging in via the internet and bang, you've got access to the same tools.
Some of the features that on-prem had that have not yet been implemented in the Cisco WebEx product, like when you're in contact center, there is no bidirectional communication yet. So if you put a call on hold on a physical phone or on your soft phone, it doesn't talk back to the contact center portion. So the bidirectional communication would be useful and we're still getting used to the differences in how reporting is done and call detail reports. The on-prem has been around for so long that you're just used to going in there and just running CDR reports and that with Cisco WebEx a little bit, it's a learning curve that you have to get used to and that you have to have the report generated and wait for it to become available. And sometimes it can take longer because put in the queue and it runs when it has a chance.
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 would rate a solid 9 in case of usability as it does its work perfectly without any lacks and delays, we are using it for almost 3 years now and have not faced any major bug or issue with it. along with that it's easy to construct a Flow end to end where you just drag and drop icons to make the nodes working together with each other and as well as its learning curve is very simple and can be used by a non tech person also.
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.
It's far far secure when compared to the other two rest everything is almost similar. In free version Google Meet has unlimited meeting length. For me Webex Calling is all about security. The interface is also very good and professional, directory part is well functional so all of these features make Webex Calling a good choice.
Webex Connect has a great ecosystem integration with other cloud solutions such as Contact Center. It's a handy common use to connect those platforms working together.
Webex Calling allowed us to continue working in a remote world
While workshops are best in person, Webex Calling allowed us to continue offering that critical service and also included break out room functionality for small group activities, when needed.
The recording feature allows everyone to hyper focus on the discussion - if anything was missed in notes, it was always saved in the recording when we had one. Perfect for interviews and workshops.
The simplicity of integration of API with multiple messaging apps has increased our reach.
We ourselves are impressed with Cisco's Webex platform, and are planning to switch to our majority of communication channels to Webex platform applications.
