I work for communities and counseling for study abroad operations and for these operations I use Webex Calling, in this era where everything is going online I like how Webex Calling functions and solves my multiple problems with one go. Its integration with Webex Suite was what I liked the most, now everything can be done with ease be it calling, meetings or even messaging. The primordial problem it has solved for me is how in a very user-friendly way I have everything at my disposal. From connecting with colleagues to setting up meetings with partners, everything is seamless with Webex Calling. Cisco itself is a big company and it delivers quite well, Webex Calling is just another example of the same. Admin portal is quite friendly and easy to use and the most important part is that audio calls are crystal clear so all in all they do affect the meetings in a positive way by basically forming the base that no one sees. If not for this product and how nicely it functions, maybe a good partnership might've been broken maybe a deal wouldn't have been signed maybe corporate connectivity would not have been that good and seamless.
  • Real time translation to multiple languages
  • Whiteboards are unlimited which is great
  • Up to 1000 attendees can join the meetings
  • I think that there are less emojis, there could be more since other free providers also provide the same
  • International calling is a bit more expensive, could be taken down a bit
  • Virtual backgrounds aren't that much appealing as well, there is room for improvement there
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.

We have multiple sites in different countries and we need to have a centralized managed environment to all of them, integrated with our Azure AD and with a centralized carrier in order to reduce hardware costs and licenses. Webex Calling is the perfect suite for all of these and gives us a lot of benefits.
  • Easy to manage
  • No need to have on-prem infrastructure
  • Scalable
  • Log with different account on the same app, maybe account of different tenants
  • Calling panel has to be modernized
  • Add button to do call things, instead to use the 3 dots
Webex Calling is well suited in all of the customers that have stores around the world, where they have few users in multiple locations or users that travel a lot. In all of those cases you don't have to install CUCM, Expressways, make DNS changes and stuff like that, but you just need to purchase licenses and add users/numbers to the cloud.

  • Provide virtual lines
  • Call queue advanced features
  • Call analytics
  • You should include CxEssential feature in Webex Calling license without extra cost
  • Directory segmentation by location
  • Refine the management of access right in the control hub

Into my organization, it's just for testing and in order to help the customer to implement some solution, some features. So I'm just testing with my computer the solution.
  • 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.
  • No. Even if there is something, maybe it's missing. I know I follow many events of Cisco, they are including the roadmap, so that's nice. For the moment the customer are very happy. I don't have some bad features and some features missing for the moment. That's nice.
I just deploy WebEx calling for one customer a few months ago and yes there was using an old infrastructure OnPrem on-premise. They have migrated to WebEx calling and they're very happy with this solution because they have some new features that they don't have with their old infrastructure. Now they have some new features even if they don't really pay for it, they have it and they are very happy. For example, they don't own a Cisco Unity server and now it's WebEx calling. They have the SVI function, they have the voicemail function and even if they don't have in mind to merge to WebEx calling in order to have these features, they have these features and they're happy to discover it and now they're using it. So it's very a good experience.

We needed a single solution to bring a nationally distributed company into a single platform which could be managed from anywhere. The business was a 24/7/365 emergency services for environmental issues and needed a robust platform that worked anywhere, any time with minimum fuss or issues. We used it for both corporate, branch and individual users.
  • Call quality
  • Easy to use
  • Single pane of glass management
  • Easier to transfer to mobile device
  • Easier to activate after upgrade from Spark to Webex Calling
We used it for office staff, field workers and more. We even had a mobile command center that we put a Meraki Z3C (cellular) in it as it had cellular connectivity and a PoE port so we could have a grab and use 'hotline'/'batphone' in the mobile command center for use. This way anyone from operations to the CEO could be reached from or reach the command truck directly during major spills where it was deployed to.

We use Webex Calling for all inbound and outbound calls in our organization. We are able to have a mix of SIP trunks and local gateways/PRI's that we can utilize for calling. Webex Calling allows us to use both types of calling.

The problems that it addresses is that CUCM is going away and we are looking to upgrade to a newer phone system. We utilize Webex Calling for our call centers and all internal calls.
  • Easy to Manage
  • Can make hunt groups easily
  • Makes troubleshooting easy
  • Easy to integrate with Azure AD
  • TAC support
  • Reporting could be better
  • Make managing user in bulk easier
It's best for quick deployments or for small offices. It would be least suitable for call centers due to the large amount of setup needed for contact center.

Small branches utilize Webex Calling easily due to being able to connect to a local gateway or SIP cube. We can also utilize local gateways to force some calls through Webex Calling and some calls through CUCM during the migration window.

Since we are a global company, we use it to collaborate with other teams in the US and EMEA regions. I use it for handing off cases to the next shifts. I also use it to brainstorm with my teammates on a case. It became a tool to collaborate with each other.
  • Team Meetings
  • Hotline calls
  • Can share screen
  • Audio and video calling
  • Latency when screen sharing
  • Annotate tool
  • Sometimes Webex Calling has delays
It is well suited when collaborating with the other teams from another country on a case we are investigating together. It makes the exchange of ideas faster and is more efficient. Also, since you can screen share, it also allows us to better pictures when someone is explaining something. Also, making international calls is better because there is no limit to the call and can have a lot of people join in.

Webex Calling allows to to efficiently and effectively communicate with our customers and partners who also have integrated Webex as their primary communications platform and other Cisco products. It provides great high quality audio with built in noise canceling to make calling a breeze while in office or on the go.
  • Great UI
  • Easy to use
  • Good API availability
  • Dark mode
  • UI responsivity during calls
  • Android apps
  • Connection stability
Webex Calling is great for meetings, I especially like the screen sharing as there are options available to each user to zoom in how much they like it so it fits their screen, it's great if you have a smaller screen than the person that is sharing theirs. Also the build in whiteboard is also a very good and responsive addition.

We use Webex Calling for all the team meetings ( which includes Daily stand-ups, all Sprint ceremonies, and even for PI Planning)that we have with both Internal teammates and also with External Vendors.
In addition, we use Webex Calling for any quick touchpoints with individual teammates. Webex Calling has been a comprehensive tool that we use across Enterprise for any meetings and we use Vide calling extensively to interact to simulate face to face meeting.
  • Video calling with teammates
  • Direct call with individuals
  • Large group calls
  • We can't see Webex chats when we make direct call to a person using Webex Calling
  • In our Org. we can just see messages for past 7 days , wish this was longer
It is very useful for Video calling and when we have large audience to connect with

We are unable to break sessions, wish we have capability to generate multiple meeting links (for same user)

We use webex calling as Company, Org, and Team hotline together with Webex App and Webex Meeting and we use it in our day to day tasks. It addresses our problems from our previous solution wherein we cannot answer calls via our mobile device. I must say webex calling is worth the upgrade!
  • Calls
  • Voicemail
  • User friendly
  • Cost
  • Do not disturb feature
  • Doesnt support all countries
It is well suited during remote setup wherein we can answer calls anytime, anywhere. Unlike our old solution we need to be infront of the deskphones to answer the call. I cannot think any scenario that webex calling is less appropriate. Its the best! Worth the upgrade!

Its ability to hold multiple participants to have phone conferences and another great feature it offers is we can send voice messages to SMS and emails using it . There are many other platforms in this domain . But no one has addressed user problems like Cisco Webex has done so far.

We have to rely on different applications for day to day communication purpose like calling , sharing , instant messaging and video calls etc. But Webex has this by default and in addition to it , it also offers finest features like VoIP calling and sending automated messages to people who are trying to reach when we are unavailable at work place . Transcripts of meetings are provided by all such applications , but the accuracy in which it transcripts audio is something good .





  • transcripts Can send voice mail to email
  • automated response
  • Calling
  • Conferencing
  • VoIP calling
  • Can send Voicemail to SMS
  • video calls
  • Audio calls
  • screen sharing
  • Phone calls
  • Participants limit should be increased in trial version
  • pricing should be decreased
Webex is best for conferencing and messaging it is best suited where we have many people to accommodate in single place virtually . Webex calling is one of the oldest tool which we have . It has support in different countries which is another big advantage it holds when compared to others .If you are running a startup , better choose any other calling application instead of Webex Calling

We are using Webex Calling as our primary driver for calling. We use Webex App, which includes messaging and meetings as well. We have used Microsoft Teams in past but they lack in enterprise features. Webex Calling includes almost all the features which we had when we were using on-premise calling solutions.
  • Simple and Easy to use
  • Easy to maintain - cloud based
  • Control hub can be used for managing Webex Calling, meeting and messaging as well as on-premise calling (CUCM) - Microsoft lacks this
  • Cisco Webex App still need to work on integrations, Slack is the leader in terms of integrating with other applications.
  • a bit costlier when compared to MS. MS E5 has it for free
  • Availability in some countries like Russia still not there
Cisco Webex Calling is the solution for enterprises. It includes all the calling features, more than most of the other cloud calling provider. Only RingCentral comes close to Webex Calling when it comes to features. If customer are using Cisco Call manager, one of their most popular solution, Integration and transition to cloud becomes very easy. This is not something with other Cloud calling providers.

I use Webex Calling for demos, customer PoCs and Lab resource, I have used the solution for almost 4 years. It is a great call control system, specially for companies that need mobility or have remote workers, this since you only require an internet connection to get the Webex Calling services
  • Reporting
  • Easy administration
  • Great for Remote Work
  • Support for 3rd party video devices
  • integrations with more call recording partners
  • Survivavility on the same LGW
I always recommend Webex Calling since is easy to use and administer, is great for small and mid companies that need remote workers and mobility.

I do not have an scenario to say that I do not recommend it.

It is used to replace the on-premises solution of a banking organization, which in turn has a contact center solution.These require maintaining most of the services they currently use, among which are: Porting current phones to the cloud, and other characteristics of on-premises services.
The important part is the capability to integrated with a Contact Center Solution.
  • Easy for provisioning
  • Great Help Center
  • Friendly management interface
  • Authorization Code for Inter Location Calls
  • Capacity to add or modified the Global Calling Plan
  • More debugs (Low Level) option for Cloud parts communication.
Its suited best for company with Cisco based infrastructure or for one the is migrating from CUCM solution but is not limited to support other vendor migration solution.

Currently Webex Calling is being evaluated for use throughout the Enterprise. There are situations and locations where it is a great fit. Other instances, the use of the on-premise CUCM provides the business requirements.
  • Easily deploy users
  • Management of devices
  • availability of the platform
  • complex call routing
  • 3rd party devices
  • Line display and notifications
At locations where we require a easy to use and less complicated phone system, Webex Calling is a great fit. Corp locations with diverse and complicated work flows, we are not able to adapt Webex Calling just yet

Webex Calling is a trusted and proven cloud calling software and is very useful as well. It delivers enterprise level calling solutions that can easily replace PBX network. It is the best for team meetings as it can allow up to 100 members in a call. Meeting can also be recorded and transcripts can also be taken out using Webex calling
  • Team Meetings
  • Meeting recording feature
  • Transcript Generation
  • The iOS version of Webex has a lot to improve
  • The UI can be made smoother
  • It requires a stable bandwidth to ensure a proper call and hence consumes a lot of data
I have used Webex calling to hold tutorial classes for trainees and also done orientation for interns. It can allow up to 100 participants in a call which helps a lot. I have also used it for Team meetings. It is easily one of the best calling solutions available on the market.

Is our main channel of communication. Outlook email and Webex calling and chat. It helps to remove the barriers of virtuality and long distance.
  • The image and video is very well
  • The sound always works
  • It is user friendly
  • There should be an "On a call" status for when we join a webinar. If we join a webinar our status is still green "Available" and not busy "on a call"
I have never encountered issues with Webex sound or video unless my wifi is not working but with webex, I have no complaints.
The only thing I would change is there's no status for when we join a webinar. We still appear as available and not on a meeting.

The company I work for is now fully remote. We have employees across multiple locations in the world, so consistent collaboration is key for the progress of work and communication.
Webex provides that for us.

With Webex, we are able to host internal team and individual meetings, presentations and discussions.

We also use Webex for interactions with our clients and potentially customers through webinars which is great.
  • Ability to record meetings for future purposes
  • Background noise cancellation support
  • Screen sharing and interactive whiteboard
  • HD videos quality
  • Call transfer ammd voicemail support
  • Better support for low internet connectivity. Webex request a really strong internet connection to work efficiently, this is not possible in a lot of locations.
  • I do not have any other issues with the application.
My company uses Webex for daily scrum calls, webinars with clients, townhall meetings with the entire company, internal departmental meetings.

I personally use Webex for recording short tutorials, 1:1 meetings with my supervisor, sharing information with colleagues, file sharing and constant communication with
other team members.

Webex may not be appropriate if you have unstable connection. It causes lags in video calls, messages may take a while to be delivered, Audi during voice calls lag, it can be frustrating.

We use Webex meetings as a substitute for face-to-face meetings. If at least one employee works in a home office, all regular meetings are held via Webex. When we work with external partners, we sometimes also use their booked meeting software. And for larger meetings with all employees, Zoom is used.
  • It usually works fine
  • Virtual backgrounds available
  • Support for features like virtual backgrounds on less advanced systems that are still being used in offices
  • UI could be better and more performative
  • Can't keep up with other applications in the field
In general, Webex Meetings works well. But it just doesn't feel modern and user-friendly. It's annoying that meetings have to be scheduled in the browser. The user interface feels kind of cheap and is not very intuitively designed. I don't know how Webex Meetings is priced compared to its competition, but unless it's significantly cheaper, I really can't explain why it's used at all. As I said, it works and it's really not extremely bad, but it's not really good either.

Webex is a great choice for businesses looking for a reliable video conferencing platform, we use it for handling external meetings with suppliers and 3rd parties. The audio and video quality are excellent, the features are comprehensive, and the interface is easy-to-use. We have a lot of meetings with external suppliers and they are not federated for Teams so we use Webex to facilitate this.
  • File sharing is fully supported, along with availability of content sharing extensions.
  • You can also record your calls for record and future referencing.
  • Support for HD video, and audio can be sourced from your phone or computer.
  • Glitches with audio have been experienced for non-Webex users when connecting to audio.
  • Cost is higher in comparison to Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
  • Hard to get working on some corporate devices.
Webex has worked well when conducting meetings with external users in another organisation that is not using Teams. It has the added bonus that Webex can run smoothly within a browser or via client. However, the client install of Webex can be difficult to get running on corporate devices. Mainly due to the fact that it installs into the users AppData folder rather and ProgramData. Which can be blocked due to software restrictions.

As part of the upgrade process for one of the campaigns we manage, we were in need of a platform that could replace MS software.This had to be less intrusive but at the same time have the most important core features for communication, Webex provided this, more than enough to be excellent to cover all our needs. It allows seemless communication between all our peers, remote and in office.
  • Light software options
  • Indispensable core functions
  • Ease of use
  • Great support
  • UI design
  • Updates
  • AI implementation
The software is a great help to have a dedicated platform to connect all associates, maintain a supervised environment for it, and allow for more than calls. The implementation of face to face meetings allows you to completely disregard any other type of communication platform as long as the users involved are within the domain.

We use webex as our firm video conferencing platform. We use it for internal meetings and also to set up meetings with outside parties. We also use it as a conference line. It addresses problems related to meetings where not everyone can be present in person, and avoid fees charged by conference line callers as that is an added feature.
  • Transcribes meetings
  • Video conferencing
  • Regular phone conference line
  • The audio is often choppy/has feedback
  • Video freezes
  • Less user friendly than zoom
Webex is generally fine for meetings and conference lines. In my experience, the audio is often wonky so I generally prefer zoom or teams as a platform but it does the job for less total cost. The layout/view is also not as polished. It does, however, avoid pricy conference line charges because setting up a conference line is a capability, and it integrates seamlessly with Outlook to automatically insert meeting links/details/call-in information in meeting invitations.

We had used Webex Calling in my previous organization as a communication/collaboration platform for both internal and client meetings. This is such a great unified application for calling, communication and conducting team meetings that greatly helps to improve effective and efficient coordination and eases teamwork which was lacking earlier without it.
  • Scheduling meetings
  • Call history & chat
  • Screen sharing capability
  • Lags when too many people are on video call
  • Mic & Audio interface
  • User experience can be better
Webex meeting as a communication platform will be well-suited for teams that need collaborative and follow-ups meetings. Some examples include Client Meetings, Internal status meetings for follow up and so on. Webex platform is less appropriate if you would only want to have a one on one conversation with a team mate or a stakeholder.
