“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.”

“We needed an up-to-date calling and VOIP solution in our offices and Cisco Webex Calling was the answer. There was a very long list of pros that made us consider this heavily before making the final decision. This works in conjunction with our current Cisco interoffice phone solution and adds lots of value.”

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Webex calling is an offer which include many features natively. So that's something which is very appreciated by customer because they don't have to buy each server as it was the case with on-prem solution. They just buy WebEx calling and they have many features. Even if they don't need it, they have it and we can give thé taste.

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

Webex calling is a good solution for customer which are ready for cloud.
However some customers doesn't want to share their CDR to a UcaaS so Cisco shouldn't focus on cloud opportunity and up to me the gap of investment, marketing, evangelization is too big weighing the pros and cons for cloud too often
