CiscoGreat solution for efficient online meetings2019-01-17T20:04:48.416ZI have used the Cisco WebEx Room solution in a global consulting project for a time period of several weeks which included tasks that were required to be communicated with teams across three time-zones. The solution was present only on the main site, however, people were able to connect to the conferences even without the "base unit" using just their webcam. Unlike the older solutions I have used in the past years (e.g. Polycom), "this solution works" and it is easy to operate, starts quickly and causes no stress by meetings.,Obviously, the solution is running some AI algorithms. It adapts to the situation in the room and is able to detect people very quickly and tracks them.
It delivers HD picture quality which is great for sharing schemes, pictures etc. of the flipcharts.
I do not remember any problems with starting, setting the solution up, or poor quality. In the past, with Polycom solutions, this was a regular problem causing unnecessary stress in the (delayed) meetings. You do not have to plan a meeting with a 15 minutes upfront reserve for setting up the environment.
Connectivity to Webex Teams application - you can share documents, schemes etc. this way.
Swift joining of meetings for the participants.
A participant can still connect to a conference using their application and the sessions can be recorded which is valuable for later reference on complex topics or just to recall what the other party said.
You do not have to be an IT guy to use this. You do not have to search for reset button or cables.,I do not know of any issues related to this software.
I have no improvement suggestions at this time.,10,You can join three teams in one day that are spread across the globe. This can be done quickly without any hassle. You do not have to call the IT support each time you want to have a call and this saves precious minutes with each participant (6 minutes saved x 10 participants = 1 man-hour).,Skype for Business (formerly Lync) and Polycom RealPresence Immersive Video Conferencing,TeamViewer, Skype for Business (formerly Lync)Viktor MulacCisco WebEx2019-01-17T23:27:53.191ZCisco WebEx basically replaced Skype for business at Cerner. It replaced the calls and the conference ID that was needed to share with the participants. It also replaced the need to share passwords as pins and also increased the security and quality of calls. Also, it has ton of features like screen sharing, adding multiple people, audio - video support, etc.,It integrates very well with your existing software - for example, the integration with Office 365 / Microsoft Office 2016 is exceptional.
It has support for a lot of countries, running very well in Africa, the Middle East, and APAC, as well.
It is super easy to install and use, and the instructions that come with the meetings are self explanatory and in simple English - making it a user-friendly tool.,I believe pricing has to be improved, it is one of the most expensive tools available in the market.
If there is a technical issue which requires help, the turn around time for resolution is low.
I know this is too much to ask, but include more countries in your toll-free segment so that it is more productive in global organizations.,9,It has saved a lot of travel cost, all initial-level conversations can happen over WebEx, saving a ton of money.
It has made conversations between offices at different locations very simple, and the ease of use of this software is amazing. It also offers SSO (single sign on) to integrate directly with your own password.
ROI has been difficult, considering it is one of the most expensive tools available with this kind of functionality.,GoToMeeting and Skype for Business (formerly Lync),HireVueVerified UserBest Video Collaboration Solution Available - Cisco Spark Room Series2018-01-30T22:40:39.148ZI was first introduced to Cisco Spark Room kits during the Cisco Live 2017. We purchased our first unit about a month later. This was set up for one of our smaller remote office around 10 people. The technology built into this unit is amazing and setup was a breeze. We have multiple other models of Cisco Telepresence systems and by far this has been the best unit Cisco has developed. Video conferencing is becoming essential to the way we do business. With many teams and remote offices this is a way to bring everyone together to collaborate on ideas and solutions.,The Cisco Spark Room series has many new technologies that make this unit well worth the purchase. The auto room framing feature makes manual zoom and focus a thing of the past. The unit will auto zoom and pan to frame the screen around a single person in a conference room or zoom out and capture the whole room if there are multiple people in the conference. The Cisco Spark Room series also has an active speaker tracking system that will track users in the room and pan and zoom when that person is speaking.
The Cisco Spark Room series units can be cloud or on-premise registered taking advantage of whichever platform best suits your needs and current investments.
When the Cisco Spark Room series units are attached to 4K TVs or monitors you get the best possible resolution for video viewing with crystal clear presentations.,Cost may be only con that I can see when cloud registered. I believe the average subscription cost is around $99 per month and depending on how often the device gets used this can extend your ROI.,9,Being able to hold a video conference has reduced the overall travel within our company. This has kept costs down and productivity up.
Cisco Spark Room series has made collaboration very easy and an effective business solution for our company. Meetings can be scheduled easily or adhoc allowing our users to get answers or collaborate on solutions much quicker than ever before.
When used with Cisco WebEx we can now have remote users that are traveling or at a remote jobsite join a video conference from their smartphones giving us a much wider reach into our work environment than ever before.,Polycom and Skype,VMware ESXi, Avamar, PRTG Network MonitorBrian MunnReview of Spark Room 552018-01-23T22:40:07.356ZThe Cisco Spark Room 55 is used as new standard video conferencing system and helps to improve usability for the users with features like the new digital speaker tracking and the integrated microphones.
