Because of my support profile, I am constantly in contact with multiple clients from various platform, Webex is one of the trusted and preferred platform I like to work in.
Though most of my clients like to work on MS Teams, the best alternative to it is Webex. I like the stream video quality in video meets with clients, and the UI is smooth too.
Apart from that, CISCO branded product ultimately gets the trust.
  • Troubleshooting Session with clients.
  • Video Conferencing
  • Screen sharing
  • Best whiteboarding tool
  • Actually it lags quite a lot
  • Its UI is very feature rich, hence a lot of unnecessary coloring is observed.
The customers who cannot afford MS suite, usually go to Webex as it is the best alternative, specially in pricing segment I believe.
apart from that Webex is very suitable efficient video conferencing and meeting application.

Still, as MS Teams is available by default in most of the client operating systems, Cisco Webex is not much preferred for me.

We use the Webex App as an internal communication tool in our company. It helps facilitate communication between departments and within teams, making our interactions more productive. Additionally, we utilize it for project management purposes by creating spaces for projects and working groups. We also open some interesting spaces for the team, such as a movie enthusiasts' or book lovers' club.
  • Callings
  • Meetings
  • Webinars
  • Time Zone indicator (for each member)
  • Moderated Spaces (the Teams are moderated, but the spaces are not)
Webex App is very suitable because it has mobile, desktop, and web versions, allowing you to use it anywhere. The meeting option of the Webex App allows you to organize, schedule, and participate in meetings with very high quality. It also allows you to share your screen and record the meeting, which helps you to do it more effectively.

WebEx App allows me to connect with my colleagues, customers, and vendors. It runs smoothly, is highly customizable, and provides me with all the needed features that allow me to complete my tasks remotely. With the App I am synched with my colleagues, I keep the customers updated with progress on their tickets and receive the latest information from the vendors. I also use my app to make PSTN calls, get notified that I have voicemail, and be able to listen to my voicemail in a list from the app. It also provides me with the ability to share content and control other people's desktops. It's also functional for me to transfer files. The Webex App also notifies my contacts when I'm currently not available.

A recently added feature that covers another channel of communication is texting. I no longer have to text from my personal number, I can now send and receive texts from and to mobile devices from my Webex App. A missing feature is sending and receiving images through texts.
  • Keeping everyone engaged
  • Smoothly transform from a texting environment to a call environment
  • Remote Control provides functionality
  • Support multiple Extensions in WebEx Calling
  • Better display and organization of contacts, spaces and teams
  • Less Crowded
I believe Webex App is a great benefit for hybrid workers. The fact that you can have it on your mobile or laptop and you can have your office number on it makes it a great value for remote workers and workers on the go. As a managed service engineer, the app proves to be very worthy when I approach customer problems, I can keep customers updated with the latest news and also remotely connect and control their desktops if needed. The ability to go from texting to video call and save previous files and information increases efficiency.

We use Webex App as designed, to have video conferences with clients. We also use the 'request remote access feature' if there are any troubleshooting needs that our clients need. It is nice to have that feature because it helps the clients understand what we are doing as they watch us troubleshoot on their screens.
  • Video conference
  • Audio
  • Remote access
  • Remote access speed
  • Audio quality
  • Visual quality
I mainly use the Webex App for video conferencing, which, in that case, is good and has good video resolution. There are times when I am in a video conference call and the client needs help with troubleshooting and I can request access of their computer to help, in those case, the cursor can be very slow and not respond well.

Great help in performing daily tasks through screen sharing. It helps us communicate more efficiently with third parties. It has also helped us improve our communications. Users are familiar with the platform. Now we can have a quick and efficient online meeting. It solves a huge inaccessibility problem. Thanks to this platform, I have been able to easily collaborate with colleagues from all over the world.
  • Share screen
  • Excellent image and sound quality
  • Amazing user interface
  • I would like to see SMS notification options
  • I would like to have a better screen recording
  • Should have a better notification system
It is not limited only to video conferencing but also has chat tools. The Webex App platform offers maximum data security by providing us with a communication platform. It allows audio and video quality superior to other platforms. You can set a time when everyone is available. Allows screen sharing function that integrates all participants.

Webex App is being used in our organization as a key communication tool. It enables us to effectively connect with team members with the help of multimedia tools. Webex app has a cross-platform support that allows fast and on the go access for work related communications. Members can also join meetings from the application.
  • File sharing and collaboration capabilities
  • Call, meetings, and chat functionality.
  • Ability to screen share and record meetings
  • Efficient and faster web interface
Webex App is highy suitable for remote organizations. Any organizations have a mix of even a limited number of remote employees or those that promote flexible work, can benefit a lot from Webex App. Webex App would enable them with the omni-channel communication requirements. It is highly effective in such cases.

  • provide Unified collaboration
  • seemless calling
  • AI integration
  • Automation feature
Based in my experience Webex App is very effective in so many ways in making calls, meetings, and setting an appointment it does very well.

We use Webex App for collaboration with internal as well as other organization colleagues who are whitelisted. It is very useful for having chats, calls and also attending meetings. We also use file share feature which is very useful. The Webex App has a very rich feature base which fulfils todays modern working styles.
  • Screen sharing and screen zooming for others who are seeing it.
  • Live translation and transcripts
  • Call recording
  • We would like to see and download meeting attendance from the Webex App for each of our meetings attended.
  • Call recording files access on the Webex App would be great.
  • Ability to record and set custom greetings to be heard by callers when Webex App user is not available/out of office, etc.
Webex App has a very executive appearance and enriched with modern day features like live translation, transcripts. It is more than a messaging app and combines the messaging, presence, calling and meetings. It is more than this and is a complete collaboration package. More features keep on coming and our feedback is also considered to develop this app collectively.

I use the Webex app regularly when I need to quickly connect with a client, gain remote access, or screen share. I don't need to maintain my own application and all the necessary infrastructure for it to work; all I need is an internet connection to communicate with the cloud. This saves me a lot of time when a quick meeting is needed. I especially use meeting recordings; It’s very convenient to download recordings from the cloud in mp4 format.
  • Meeting recordings
  • Screen Sharing
  • Remote Desktop
  • Number of simultaneous meeting participants
  • Unplanned update
  • Sometimes there were problems with sound when using different equipment
The application is most suitable for small organizations that do not make sense to maintain an entire team of developers and server infrastructure for their own remote meeting application. However, there are structures that have strict regulations on the use of cloud solutions (including remote meetings); in this case, for example, it is worth paying attention to creating your own video conferencing server.

Webex App was our next step from Jabber to provide collaboration across the business. We used the collaboration features to quickly spin up teams to resolve issues and brainstorm together. This is also our softphone platform, which helped us completely move away from desk phones.
  • Chat
  • Presence
  • Screen Sharing
  • Interface
  • Speed
  • Advanced call features
Heavy competition and integration from MS Teams has almost shifted us entirely away from this product. When we first deployed we were looking to move into the Contact Centre solution, but the boom of MS Teams has seen us shift away.

I use the Webex app for instant messaging, joining Webex meetings, for group chat, and primarily to stay connected to other word wide users that use Cisco products. Cisco has provided public spaces, that anyone with a Cisco Webex account can join, that allows you to talk to other Cisco users that are using Cisco products. I've also joined the Cisco certifications public spaces to exchange messages with other certification test takers. The biggest use case so far has been having a space that I can use to collaborate with my team members on projects we are working on. It is so handy to have a single place for an exchange of ideas.
  • User-Friendly Interface
  • Chat and File Sharing
  • Reliable Video and Audio Quality
  • User-Friendly Interface
  • Screen Sharing and Collaboration
  • The Seen by feature is annoying. It tells someone when you have looked at a message. I feel like I have to respond immediately when I want to wait a bit and compose a longer reply. Even if you could just turn it off would be great.
  • I am always early to meetings and even though I am already joined, Webex will still prompt me to join the meeting 5 minutes prior. I think it should already know that I'm connected and not keep poking me to join.
  • After a Webex meeting is over and I leave the meeting a web page pops up asking me how the meeting was and if I'd like to answer more questions about the meeting and the quality. That needs to be turned off as well
The biggest use case I have for Webex is the public and private Spaces feature. It is so handy to have a single place where I can collaborate with team members on a single project. We can chat about new ideas and share files just on that specific project. That way I am not having to search email, or a Sharepoint site or a network drives for files. And I don't have to search through a separate chat log for ideas for this project. Add to that that I can use the Webex app on my PC, Mac, iphone and Android tablet and that makes it the killer app.

We use Webex App as our Video conferencing, chat channels and work phone system. It is very nice to have an application that works for our hybrid working styles. From the Lawyers that work part time from home to support people that travel, it keeps us all connected and easy to reach others as well as to share pictures, documents and have live meetings. We sometimes have to use other platforms because of our clients, but seem to have more issues with other platforms, especially when adding a conference room to a video call.
  • Connects easily
  • Sharing is simple
  • Gives you the option to have it call your phone for audio if you have a poor connection
  • Being able to mute a current call to answer an incoming call
  • Being able to share files through someone on the Phone (if they have the App)
  • Being able to send an automatic chat text to someone if you are currently in a meeting
Webex App works best in conference rooms when using the Cisco hardware. No other platform performs as easily as the Webex App. I appreciate that Cisco recognizes that sometimes their user need to use a different platform on their hardware and are working to improve the experience.

So, I have been using Webex App for more than 2 years now. My experience is somewhat in the range of 70-80% satisfied. The rest of 20-30% lacks, for the experience when the UI is too heavy to be loaded on the hardware. This happens a lot with me, as I continuously switch on multiple laptops for Training, Development, Client laptops, Office machines, and Personal laptop. I have seen the application working flawlessly in some laptops and sometimes it lags like it will never load in some scenarios, though this majorly depends on the operating system and hardware capability, a "Lite" version would have been really appreciated. Apart from above mentioned, I am a fan of Webex App, and most of my clients' organizations communications are switched to Webex App. I really love the chat, meetings UI's and specifically the HD video call support, which I experienced on my high end 1080p camera on my laptop, and I really really like the single click invite from ongoing meetings from Webex App.
  • Single click invite to other participants.
  • There is an app for Linux, Windows, Android, MAC OS, so literally, every OS I work on.
  • Love the HD video presentations that I am addicted to right now.
  • A "Lite" app for old configuration devices would be really appreciated.
  • A possibility for giving more customizable themes option?
As per my job description, I need to work on multiple connectivity and messaging applications for official meetings, and Cisco Webex App, is my default choice, especially when it is client calls rather than internal meetings, as Cisco applications are available on each OS that I work on, and due to similarity of the UI across the OS's, it becomes more help in transition quickly while switching between multiple devices. Though in some older devices, slight lag is present, it's still well suited for good hardware.

If I want to do HD streaming in meetings, I will definitely have to go with the Webex App, and comparatively to other meeting and engagement platforms (apps) Webex App is what I was able to get in "sync" with effortlessly.

Our entire organization has access to, and heavily relies on the Webex App! We use the Webex App to communicate, share content, and collaborate daily. Our Cisco Unified Collaboration practice also not only uses it, but we help install and configure a wide variety of Webex features for companies all across the globe.

Once deployed and configured for those particular companies, we then use the Webex App to continue to communicate, collaborate, and assist those customers faster and easier than before! We really love the Webex App, and pretty much live in it daily, to perform every facet of our jobs.
  • Webex App is great for sharing content and in a hurry. With a click of a button, you can screen share to coworkers, or fire up a Webex Meeting, right from the same Webex App window you were just chatting in.
  • Webex App does a great job of allowing custom notifications, so you can filter out some of the daily noise and interruptions. I have my Webex App configured to have my most important notifications on all the time, and the noisy rooms that we're all a part of, are set to mentions only. This works particularly well for me, so that I don't miss any of the large and important updates that might be sent through those spaces, but lets me catch up on the information in those spaces at my leisure.
  • Webex App also does a great job of integrating into our existing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, so that we can have seamless access between our PCs, Phones, Mobile Phones, and many more! We use Webex App to make sure we can connect and collaborate with each other, no matter where we may be.
  • Webex App does a wonderful job of gathering, scheduling, and providing information regarding my plethora of daily meetings! I use it daily to manage, host, and launch meetings throughout the day. I even use Webex App to help and track my busy schedule.
  • Webex App could use a slight improvement on the search feature. I find that sometimes when searching for specific results that I know exist, I have to manually find them from Spaces that have long since moved on from that topic. After finding the phrase I was searching for, sometimes there is no difference between the needed message and the exact searched phrase.
  • I would like to be able to turn off "Log Missed Calls" from Webex App like you can do with CUCM and Cisco phones. I would rather not know that Webex App specifically, missed a call when I have answered the call on my desk phone.
  • I believe the Whiteboard and shared content could be surfaced better. I use the Webex App daily, so I am quite familiar with the location of those somewhat hidden features, but I believe many others would benefit from a slightly more inclusive UI around that content creation/tracking.
Webex App really is perfect for sharing content and collaborating insanely fast. We host ad hoc Webex meetings, right from the Webex App all the time. I can help a coworker troubleshoot a problem that they are seeing on their desktop, just with the click of a button. I also use the GIF search feature daily! I love to share some good humor amongst friends and coworkers, and it's a single button click away. Of course, as with any GIF search feature, you have to make sure the audience is well-suited for the content you're sharing, but Webex App makes it easy to find the right content for most situations.

We use it for organizing calls with vendors and third-party. It serves as an option to Microsoft Teams when the third-party prefers that.
  • Screen sharing for remote access is good
  • There is a proper security control on invitees to a meeting. Only invited guest can be allowed into the call
  • Call recording is not huge compared with similar products in the market
  • Option should be given for call recording format ( wav, mp4, etc)
For remote calls and screen sharing for assistance WebEx is cool too use. I have not yet experienced a bad situation yet as I only use it for vendor calls occasionally

Webex App allows us to efficiently access other Webex components such as Calling, Meetings and Messaging on our computer and mobile devices. Which in turns allows us to effectively communicate with our customers and partners which also use the Webex application and other external partners. It provides great integration for for authentication and calendar integration.
  • Great UI
  • Easy to use
  • Dark mode
  • Good API availability
  • Main app on android doesn't do calling
  • Connection stability sometimes spotty
  • UI during calls not as fast
Webex App is great for teams which with need for utilizing communications via the Webex platform either via messaging, mattings or calling. It offers message and voice communication via your computer and smart phone. It offers great API access for utilizing either chat bots or integration with other Cisco features and even others.

We are using the Webex App on a daily basis. We use it as our primary means of communication in the company. We utilize this by creating spaces for any high priority Incidents that require immediate attention. One of the cool features of the Webex App is the Meet button on these spaces which allows to instantly create a meeting bridge with the people included in the space. I also like the idea that Webex Calling is integrated into this app if we need to call customers.
  • Notifications features such as quiet hours, DND, etc.
  • Bot integration
  • File sharing
  • The PIN message function is getting deleted after some time. I would prefer it to retain all PIN messages.
  • Option to add multiple quiet hours. This will allow me to set quiet hours for the whole weekend and not just the time range similar to weekdays.
  • Paste cells on messages. When I paste, for example, a 3x3 cell from a spreadsheet, the columns and rows are removed.
I would recommend Webex App if the primary goal is to have a communication app which can enable users to collaborate with one another to complete tasks. Webex App has easy to use features such as quick meetings on team spaces, file sharing, reminders, etc., which can be helpful.

The University I work for uses a Cisco Call Manager and Cisco Phones, so Cisco Webex App seemed like a great fit for a softphone after Cisco ended support of Cisco IP communicator for Windows. It does the job that Cisco IP Communicator with the added bonus of Video Calling and Group Meetings.
  • Video calling
  • Screen sharing with pausing
  • Low bandwidth usage
  • No logs
  • Need some themes, default to dark
This product is well suited for large meetings. It runs perfectly on a web page so users do not need to check for updates before a meeting, which is a big plus for us. The screen sharing features are a step above the competitors as I can pause the screen share with the viewers seeing the static paused screen making it far easier to switch between presentations.

Because of the dark outdated look it may not be the best for ad hoc meetings between two people. Something like Microsoft Teams works better as we are in a Microsoft environment and already have Teams bundled into our licensing.

We have a Cisco voice environment with Call Manager at the heart. Since Cisco ended support for the Cisco IP communicator software we have moved on to using Cisco Webex app. It can make voice calls like Cisco IP communicator but also excels at group meetings and video calling. Also whenever we have a meeting with Cisco we have to use Webex App as it is the only platform used by Cisco support employees.
  • Group meetings
  • Video calling
  • Mac Support
  • Content sharing
  • Lack of logs
  • No 3rd party integrations
It is well suited for video rooms. The product works and can be run on webpage without issue so it is not a struggle to get users signed in to meetings.

It is not appropriate for onsite teams as the main functionality is video meeting rooms. An alternative to Webex is Microsoft Teams which depending on your Microsoft licensing might be free making it hard to justify purchasing Webex.

Webex App is widely used in our organization. Features with the Webex suite: Webex App, Webex Calling Professional, Webex Contacts, and Webex Meetings are used regularly in our organization. Webex is used in our organization for communication and collaboration purposes. It helps simplify the user's connectivity within the organization and also outside the world. I use Webex App as an administrator where I have access to functionalities, like managing services, calling, accounts, etc. My role is assigning licenses, and managing users and groups. I use the Webex App for all communication in our organization.
  • Webex App is an excellent and user-friendly application.
  • It is easy to use and communicate with Webex App.
  • It has excellent features like calling and meetings.
  • There are audio and voice-breaking issues even while having good connectivity.
  • Webex App sometimes has freezing and mute issues when calling.
  • Messages can be very difficult to see from the chat space.
Webex App is an excellent app for medium to large organizations where user bases are bigger and the chance of using advanced features is expected to be more. Webex App is also great for educational industries. Webex App is not well suited for small-scale companies as Webex deployment may prove to be costly for some companies. Webex App could be used in industries that are heavily focused on remote work scenarios and that require constant communication between employees.

  • Webex view and is easy to use.
  • WebEx allowed participants to share their screens or specific applications.
  • WebEx integrated seamlessly with popular productivity tools like MS Office, Google workspace, etc.
  • The groups that are created, its view could become more clear.
  • When chatting, I think it would be better if it show us some automatic replies that we can set.
  • **User Interface Complexity:** Some users found the Webex user interface to be overwhelming, especially for first-time users. The abundance of features and settings could make it challenging to navigate, leading to a steeper learning curve.
  • **Meeting Scheduling and Integration:** While Webex had integrations with various productivity tools, some users still desired more seamless integration with their preferred calendars, such as Outlook or Google Calendar, to simplify meeting scheduling.
  • **Bandwidth and Performance Optimization:** In some cases, Webex's video conferencing consumed significant bandwidth, leading to reduced video quality or occasional lags during meetings. Improvements in bandwidth optimization could make it more reliable in low-bandwidth situations.
  • **Breakout Rooms Management:** While Webex had breakout room functionality, it could be more user-friendly in terms of assigning participants to breakout rooms, facilitating communication between hosts and participants in those rooms, and rejoining the main session.
  • **Meeting Recording and Playback:** While recording meetings was possible, some users faced challenges with accessing or managing recorded content. Improvements in organizing and searching for recorded meetings would be helpful for users who frequently recorded their sessions.
  • **Real-time Translation and Closed Captioning:** Incorporating real-time translation services and improved closed captioning could cater to a more diverse and inclusive audience, especially in global meetings or events.
**Well-suited scenarios:** 1. **Large Virtual Meetings and Webinars:** Webex is well-suited for hosting large virtual meetings and webinars. It can handle a significant number of participants, offers interactive features like Q&A sessions, polls, and screen sharing, and provides excellent video and audio quality. 2. **Remote Team Collaboration:** Webex is a strong choice for facilitating remote team collaboration. Its chat and messaging features in Webex Teams allow team members to communicate, share files, and work together on projects in real-time, regardless of their physical locations. 3. **Cross-Platform Collaboration:** Webex's compatibility with various devices and operating systems makes it suitable for teams with diverse setups. Whether team members use Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux, they can all participate in Webex meetings seamlessly. **Less appropriate scenarios:** 1. **Small Internal Meetings:** In cases where a company already has a preferred communication and collaboration platform for small internal meetings, and the team is accustomed to that tool, it might be less efficient to introduce Webex as a separate application. 2. **Organizations with Limited Internet Bandwidth:** Webex's video conferencing capabilities can be demanding on internet bandwidth, which might cause issues in organizations with limited internet resources or remote locations with slow connectivity.

We still use Webex primarily for customer conferences. Typical uses include screen share, chat during meetings. We also use audio and camera. We use the platform both for domestic and global. We bounce the "beach ball" from host to host. etc. To get tactical, we use it for discovery calls, vendor meets pricing/proposal reviews, and customer facing presentations. we also use it internally for all-hands and informal meetings.
  • video quality is high
  • voice quality is generally high
  • in app chat functionality allows broadcast or private messages -- very useful
  • seems like I hit "dead ports" a lot of the time when I initially connect
  • ability to silence participants cna be difficult to find "on the fly"
  • not sure if integration with apps like Gong is available? The ability to record should be built-in
This product is suitable for geographically dispersed teams or multi-company conferences. This is well suited for job interviews. This is particularly well suited for presentations as the screen share function comes in very handy. It seems less appropriate as a pure voice play .. coordinating the call is much more time-consuming than just calling someone's cell phone. The ability to integrate and embed links with email programs is very much appreciated. I personally feel that this tool ranks below MS Teams and Zoom, but it still enterprise caliber.

It is the primary, everyday collaboration tool. It helps us collaborate with internal team members, external customers and vendors. We use it for calling, chat, share and meetings. It helps us cut down time to react and support customers as well as internal team. We create spaces and team rooms to collaboration with internal/external team members on a specific project or help resolve issues or provide information.
  • Messaging and organization.
  • Calling and functionality.
  • Sharing and linking apps such as O365.
  • Meetings.
  • Scheduling meetings with outside customers - you need them as a contact to be able to search otherwise you need to have their email at the ready.
  • Linking docs to O365 or other repository apps - sometimes the docs are locked or only able to share to certain people. Just need to be easier.
  • Contacts - doesn't seem to be a way to import from Outlook.
I feel it's very intuitive to use and easy to maintain. Chatting, sharing, creating a space and adding people is very easy. Calling and the call notifications are great, it allows to accept, cancel or send to vmail easily even if on a call. You can also have multiple lines for calling. You can have all the functionality of a full phone (send to vmail, reject, conference, record, etc.) on a softphone. I got rid of my desk phone years ago.
