How Webex Webinars Differs From Its Competitors

Hybrid Work Implementation Progress

Our company is currently following a hybrid work model that is managed by individual teams/supervisors. There has been several models that we have tested and this has worked best for our employee base. Cisco WebEx allows us to stay connected during hybrid work with chat/spaces and meetings. We …

Organizational Challenges Faced

Finding a model that worked for everyone and making sure everyone had the resources they needed to effectively do their job remotely. There were also challenges that we faced with certain groups using the technology off-site. We held several training sessions to assist with the transition and …

Impact on Organizational Challenges

Cisco's hybrid work solutions have really kept everyone connected. Not that everyone is completely happy with meeting remotely, but it still allows meetings, training sessions, and other work to be completed on time. Chat groups allow for collaboration over time on projects. Webinars allow for …

Hybrid Work Experience

I personally feel a better work/life balance with the hybrid model. At home, I have a more flexible, yet focused space to complete my work. The office is still there and allows for the human interaction that we often crave after time apart. Each employee's experience is different and personal to …

Other Products Considered

I was not part of the decision to choose Cisco and we were using it prior to our switch to hybrid. I was not happy with the choice to go with Cisco at first. I felt WebEx was lagging behind the competition... especially products like Zoom, Slack, Discord. However, recent updates have made huge …

Hybrid Work Implementation Progress

We have been using the hybrid approach since 2019. Make clear policies on how you will use it to know availability of all staff. Figure out how management wants to communicate your status. Figure out whether staff need to have video on or optional during meetings. Definitely leverage Webex chat …

Organizational Challenges Faced

  1. Making sure everyone had adequate hardware to access the state network
  2. Adequate bandwidth to get work done efficiently
  3. Increased communication on when staff will be out and available
  4. Equivalent response time if people were in the office
  5. Workforce shouldn't be able to tell whether you are in the office …

Impact on Organizational Challenges

  • Having 'face to face' communication via video conferences is available 24/7.
  • It has also given some staff the ability to work from any location while dealing with personal matters. Work and availability is still possible.
  • Giving the ability to reduce office space leasing, cost savings since staff …

Hybrid Work Experience

If we need to step through a technical support issue, we just share our screens and work through the issue very quickly.
Chat threads can be searched to go back through to verify what's discussed or to review how something resolved.
Team chats allow everyone to talk real-time to work through …

Other Products Considered

We have not really used another approach, other than traditional communication methods such as email, email groups or phonecalls.
We do also use a project management tool but that tool could not be a replacement for Webex, used in tandem.

Webex Webinars is a very useable piece of software, due to the ease of creating an event and the simple and smooth process of joining an event as an attendee. The user experience, ranging from the initial email invite down to the clean user interface, is overall very enjoyable and allows for easy access to the information the seminar is producing.

My experience with this software is fantastic; it's so satisfying that it only took me a week to go through an internal training program to use this software, actually, I don't think this training program was necessary. Usability is one of the most fantastic features to guarantee the increase of members in remote events.

I love the control that this product gives to those running the meetings. It allows you to assign presenter roles to people and everyone else that is an attendee can be totally controlled, like whether they can unmute, or use video, or just sit there and watch. It really gives control of the meeting to those who are running it. And we love that ability for those meetings that we are trying to make sure people are listening in on instead of trying to participate.

Quite an easy platform on the initial setup of the interface. The configuration is an easy process for the users. Easy for reporting and data pulling through the tool. Integration functionality is effective. Multiple data analytics are quickly produced and budgeting through the software is excellent. Content creation and collaboration for multiple team members are reliable through the software.

Overall very easy to use. Lacks some features of competitors but universally known and accepted making it a seamless tool for many people globally. As a result, it’s a great “back up” option for us, but our first choice for meetings is now MS teams - for both daily and larger company meetings.

Webex Events is a very powerful tool for hosting large events. However, I would suggest improving the setup page (is not that user-friendly), and also I would make it easier for participants to join the event or meetings, many of my clients have had problems and find it hard and confusing.

Webex events is a very complete and easy-to-use tool. Perhaps a problem may be that for a common user it is difficult to generate an event because the user has to be familiar with the terms and functions of the product. However, once event setup is mastered, events with very cool features can be created

Webex Events is well ahead of many other online meeting platforms in terms of features and options available to customers, and it has really aided me and my team in achieving our objectives when planning events. It would have been ideal if the fee was a little lower and the UI was a little more user-friendly for newcomers.

I find Webex Events the best event platform because it helps me create events fast, give information for participants on time, manage all the participants, etc.

When you are in an event it has a very user-friendly control page to control the audience and hosts. But it is not very good regarding the event setting page, they might be thinking about developing a little bit more user-friendly page. The recording feature is also very useful and has plenty of space for you.

Because there is a great area of improvement, as not all the browsers can be used to open the event, we can’t launch Webex Events from the mobile phone. The most important thing is that I can’t brand my event to have the look and feel of the topic I am talking about.

It was just really challenging to figure out how to use it. I think the biggest issue was that it wasn't aesthetically pleasing or intuitive. It felt like an old software from the early 2000s. It can get the job done and if your organization already has an enterprise license, then go for it. But otherwise, I would look elsewhere.

Overall Cisco Webex Events is fairly intuitive and easy to use. There are several settings that you can only access once in "live mode" whereas it is preferable to be able to set parameters ahead of time. A lot of testing is required to make sure the settings are saved and attempt to reenact the user experience ahead of time. Other than this, it is not a complicated setup process whatsoever.
