Webex Calling vs. West Unified Communications Services (discontinued)

The audio is very clear, but when the two devices are close, there is considerable noise. Also the calling is quite expensive considering that there are countless free tools available which provide the same features. Call recording is an add on so there you need to think about whether it's worth purchasing or not. Also that it can be used on multiple devices with the app makes things easier. For small scale corporates and teams it's all good, but with respect to its competitors bringing so much on plate and that too for free, I rate it 6/10.

It is well suited in our organization for their large department Monday meetings and meetings such as that. Would not really be needed for a conference call with only 10 people or less attending.

• For example, with WebEx calling, it's an offer which include many features of each on-prem server and every features are included in WebEx calling. So that's something which is very appreciated by customer because they don't have to buy each server like it was the case. They just buy WebEx calling and they have many features. Even if they don't need it, they have it and we can give them the notice to use them and they can use it and they are very happy with this software.

• 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.

because have been using it and its easy to configure and manage

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 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.

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.

We only use intercall and always have, our in house phone system is 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.

• It does cost our company money so we try to give out numbers only when needed
