Cisco Webex Meetings is a platform that consistently performs well and outperforms some of the other solutions that we have used, such as Zoom. It is user friendly and helps our organization accomplish the goal of connecting with external contacts to conduct meetings and share information.
Our licensing agreement with Microsoft and Office365 has made Microsoft Teams the replacement for Webex for us. We no longer have a business case that aligns uniquely with Webex.
It is a very good platform to use to collaborate and interact especially when everyone is working remotely. The functions and option available, gives us the opportunity to be more productive and create a team environment rather than silos.
Because it is a very stable and reliable tool because it does not usually fail, very safe since not just any staff can enter private meetings without any prior invitation or accepting the application, and above all it is a Cisco product, leader in the field telecommunications
We're currently locked into a corporate contract with Zoom. Webex is a solid product we do use o the receiving end with our creative, design and event agencies from their end.
We have structured our licensing and partner relationship in such a way that renewals will be easy and cost effective. We have been planning to renew since before our last renewal was fully in place due to the stability and feature set that WebEx Provides. We've been through the wringer with competitors and WebEx is the easiest to use and the most stable.
There are many other products that compete with webex and we are therefore considering some of them based on their strengths, weaknesses and ongoing costs.
