Cisco Webex Desk Pro

I think it works well for collaboration but sometimes too many participants may create disruptions.

The tool is great for having a day in and day out video calls with the client in today's COVID world, where physical interaction is limited and the best suited is for having meetings with clients and showcasing them the product demonstration, at a large scale as this has smooth video interaction and makes any large scale webinar a piece of cake while using it.

It is best suited where a high-quality video and audio plays an important role and to get a rich user experience, specifically when users prefer to use their personal devices and laptop and switch as and when required. it will not be very effective when users surround the desk pro and in big halls.

The Cisco Webex Desk Pro is well suited for working environments [that] require interactive communication, intuitive collaboration, and [a] platform for co-creation. The Cisco Webex Desk Pro brings intelligent collaboration to the desk by connecting teammates across different locations to effectively communicate with a brilliant 4K display. The Cisco Webex Desk Pro, however, is less suited in places for firms operating with teams in a single location.

Cisco developed the Cisco Webex Desk Pro as part of their vision for a new cognitive collaboration environment that enables smarter and more contextual interactions between employees. With features like Webex Assistant, face recognition, and auto-saving to Webex Teams, the Desk Pro-environment makes it simple for team members to connect and communicate in seconds.

A great feature is the possibility to share files and presentations and to have your own video in front of the presentation. On the other hand, I receive a lot of invitations from clients working with MS Teams, Google Meet, and a few of them also with Zoom. If I could answer their invitations using Desk Pro, that would be great. Unfortunately, not everybody uses Cisco products or services, but showing them what a Cisco product is capable of could help to make them change their thinking about Cisco products. Just like Meraki. Let them use it for a while and they will buy it.

It's a great device for your daily work in the home office or focus room in the office. Since it's 27" device you can even use it with two people. If you need to integrate it into MS then CVI is your option. It's a premium device but worth the money. For smaller budgets there is an alternative - the Webex Desk.

The Cisco Webex Desk Pro is excellent for one-to-one video communications and meetings. Being an individual desktop communication device, which can be used in conjunction with your PC, [avoids] the need to have your workstation on two screens. It can also be used in [large] video meetings. However, it is advisable to avoid too many participants [even as] large and generous the Cisco Webex Desk Pro screen can be, it is still limited.

Cisco Webex Desk Pro is very good for professional use in large organizations that always have remote meetings/webinars/training as it will be very collaborative and worthy to have it here. Small companies/entities can rely on remote collaborative software due to the cost of this device might be over their budget.

Cisco Webex Desk Pro is well suited not only on the CxO's desks but on every desk, be it a dedicated or a shared desk. It fits perfectly in huddle spaces and home offices as well. It's just the perfect hybrid office device.

If the organization has the economic possibility of getting everyone onboarded with the Cisco Webex Desk Pro I highly recommend to do so. If helps the organization perform better with its integrated mics (with noise cancelling) and speakers for ease of use and better audio quality. It lets your work continue before, during, and after the meeting on any Webex Teams
It also features a USB-C connectivity for quick digital office access.

Executive desks should have Desk Pros.

Given a lot of people are not working in the office, [Cisco Webex Desk Pro] is superb for home deployments!

It is well suited as a personal collaboration device + the second monitor. It cannot be used in a meeting room since the microphone has some distance limitation.

Excellent for executives work from home or in the office.
Cost makes it difficult to deploy at a larger scale.
Excellent for environments with background noise.
Great for whiteboarding and content sharing.
Excellent for presenting to customers or large groups.
Works best with Cisco Webex but also operates as an excellent device when connecting to MS Teams, Zoom and any other collaboration platform as it operates as a webcam with audio capability.

Makes a great phone/video system/monitor all in one.

I wish I could give this device to everyone in my company. I can't think of a person who uses Webex meetings and Teams who would not benefit from having this device. The digital whiteboard is top-notch, the audio is crisp, the mics are great and make you sound good and the camera and very optimized for high def/sharp-looking video. And the fact that I can join a Webex, Skype, Teams, Zoom, GoToMeeting, Bluejeans, ANY MEETING through this device, allowing me to use its camera, speakers and mics, makes the experience one to remember and makes me look forward to it every time.

I have not had to use support yet as our use of Webex Desk Pro is so new, but all the questions that I have had have been answered with such promptness and clarity that it is clear Cisco has a passion about this device and about providing high quality in all that they do. Their support is top notch and you will never need to fear when reaching out to them.
