First of all, it is giving us a platform to collaborate with the people that is up almost every time when I need it. We have been using the platform for many years for the entire organization. We love it over any other platform. Quick meetings, training, and remote support from any device at any time.
  • Keep adding the new collaboration tools, i.e virtual background, music mode, and live streaming.
  • Very efficient, quick and always uptime.
  • HD quality audio and video at low bandwidth.
  • Prices are not competitive when considering the competitors.
  • Separate software for events, training and support.
  • WebEx productivity tool is mandatory if you need the integration with Office.
Specially in Enterprise customers, this is an excellent product.

The tool has come to innovate and improve internal communication and communication with customers. Previously we had a free tool but communication was cut off after a few minutes. Alternatives were evaluated and we requested demonstrations from our closest and most trusted provider to use Webex. The installation is very easy to perform, it does not require much capacity in laptops and it does not consume much resources. Our clients have liked the tool, they can schedule in their calendar and they can choose whether to connect from a laptop, smartphone or tablet. When running the application through a web browser, you only have to install a plugin for the first time and then the other connections are instantaneous. Presentation mode is very effective, remote desktop and provide assistance. Without a doubt, our staff was satisfied with the product, it improves communication with clients and it is a lot of fun.
  • Stability.
  • Interaction.
  • Easy to use.
  • Accessible tool.
  • Fault tolerant.
  • Improve communication with customers.
  • More objective meetings within the company.
  • Fast and accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection.
The tool is very useful for the labor or educational sector.It has helped to establish communication in teleworking. Classes can be received remotely, through a teacher, and sessions can be recorded and replays viewed. Improve your organization, since the invitations can be saved in mail platforms, it is easy to access and install.

Webex Meetings is currently used by some team managers when meeting with other employees within my company. It addresses certain issues within the company as an alternative to Skype Business and Adobe Connect. The platform is more user-friendly and presents a positive interaction, in my opinion with other colleagues. To my knowledge, not everyone uses Webex Meetings, only some.
  • Joining is extremely easy when meeting with others.
  • The layout is peaceful and presents attendees with gentle colors instead of harsh backgrounds.
  • Allows other users to see who is present and how they have joined a meeting.
  • Webex is constantly improving the interface regularly.
  • Honestly, the interface is simplistic in nature, creating a sense of comfortability for anyone using it for business needs. I am very impressed with the continued improvement Webex has offered employees and employers.
  • Webex could use some help by allowing more information to be seen by Attendees.
  • Although the colors are pleasant, options for more interactions with the host would be appreciated.
  • I have had difficulty when trying to attend Webex Meetings using my personal PC behind a VPN. This was a cause for me to be only able to dial in and not see the meeting. I tried all the suggestions given to me on screen and even after downloading necessary plugins, etc., I was still unable to join. I am not sure if this was an issue with my companies remote dongle or Webex itself. It simply would not launch and just sat there spinning.
Team Managers need to meet with small groups, this presents a prime example of when this software is wonderful. I have seen the number of attendees from four (4) to many more, making this software a great alternative to other programs. Where it is less appropriate: I would suggest not going behind a VPN as I mentioned earlier. This software may just not be ready to be integrated.

I use Webex to communicate with inter-company employees and for softphone capabilities for outside connections. I also use Webex to log in to meetings and to hold impromptu meetings with colleagues. Webex also handles my voicemail capabilities. I also have a bunch of chats with groups of people on specific projects.
  • Identifying who is online and their status
  • Communicating with people through voice, video, or text
  • Handling incoming voice calls
  • Consistently showing the status of people
  • Screen share working on screens connected through hardware video outputs
  • Reducing the size of the window when snapped to a quadrant
Webex is good for texting, voice calls, and video calls. It handles meetings with lots of people well. It handles incoming voice calls and can queue voicemails. It would be good if it consistently showed the status of everyone. The integration with the Windows Operating system quadrants function could work better. It takes up a lot of space when on the same screen as my email and time tracker.

We currently use Webex [Meetings] on a daily basis. I am partner Customer Success Manager and my duties include demoing the products, driving adoption so clients can get their ROI.
  • Audio
  • Video
  • Feature Enhancements such as Slido
  • Background Removal
  • Email Templates in the New Events
  • Ease of use in Joining
[Webex] Meetings are well suited for attendees under the headcount of 50, then Events would be considered. Great for 1:1, smaller informal meetings.

We use it both internally between teams and employees as well as with customers around the country. The entire company uses it. It enables us to efficiently connect with people all over without having to travel. My team is geographically diverse so it enables us to remain in close contact throughout the week.

  • Quality.

  • Cool factor.
Webex Meetings is great where people need consistent, high quality meetings. It may not be a great fit for very small environments or customers. The noise cancellation feature has been stellar and still appears to work better than competitors. This feature is fantastic. The ability to add calling is an added benefit for some orgs.

We use Cisco webex Cloud Solution for our meeting rooms & Boardroom Video calling , Pre covid we had Poly Hardware in boardroom & we we wanted to integrate it with cloud calling the same was made possible with Cisco webex H.323 dialing available in cisco webex invites which are at no additional cost unlike other cloud platforms making it easier to even join from our 20 seater boardroom & others from mobile & laptops.
  • 323 dialing for VC device.
  • Simple GUI
  • Security & Features such as live streaming
  • Windows application is too heavy
  • Different application for Webex & Webex Teams
  • W management during video call
The Costing of a Webex license with all functionalities is very reasonable , when the meeting participation is is more than 200 participants , when a organization have existing VC hardware devices already in their infrastructure , when even a PSTN audio dialing is also required in a video call meeting , Webex wont suit for a layman person as the ease of use is still need to be improved .

Webex Meetings is very good for holding large company meetings. It can handle large numbers of attendees and works well over an office or a remote network connection. I've used it both as a corporate solution and as a company solution. It really solved the business problem of having everybody (or everybody from my company and clients) on an online meeting at the same time - with the ability to speak and hear clearly, present materials, and record the meeting. Also, the question submission feature in Webex [Meetings] is great.
  • Throughput
  • Attendance
  • Stablility
  • Recording
  • Accessibility
  • Keep enhancing the integration with Microsoft Office platform
  • Keep updating product offering to keep up with Microsoft Teams
  • Keep working on audio quality for variable connections
Webex [Meetings] is good to use for a large scale meeting where people are already using Webex [Meetings] in their companies. Many businesses have already used it so even if you are hosting an event with people from multiple organizations, many people will understand how to join and participate. It is not as appropriate for very small teams where people need to jump on an instant demo with three people and share documents - Microsoft Teams does better for this.

Webex Meetings is a great program that allows us to be part of meetings, seminars/webinars, classes and other group events that we otherwise would not be able to attend. Having the option to join via our computers, rather than commuting to one central location is vital. There are several programs available that allow for this type of meeting--but Webex is in the top of that list. The process of starting and joining a meeting is very easy, and self explanatory. A lot of times you are unsure if you are muted, if your camera is on, etc. but Webex makes both of those things very clear.
  • Ease of joining meetings
  • Clear imaging of settings
  • Addition of emoji responses--helps keep interaction up without interruption of questions, etc.
  • It may be just on my screen size, but it would be nice to have q/a and chat boxes open at the same time clearly.
  • Switching between the chat and q/a boxes can be difficult/not realize which box you are in.
Webex works well for medium to large groups that are wanting to meet together for a single purpose when all physically being together is not an option or not convenient. I have been involved in Webex that were 300+ people at once, and it worked seamlessly. I am sure that Webex would also be a good program to use when meeting in small groups as well, but there are likely more affordable, or accessible programs that would work for those instances that would be a better choice if this was the only use you were going to have for Webex. I do like that Webex has the option to hide the attendees--I'm not sure if other programs have this option and it is just not used by the host--but I don't necessarily need everyone to know who all is on the call, or where they are from, etc. I think that can be distracting and detract from the meeting at times.

We are using webex meetings and webex events for our client meetings and technical awareness sessions for end clients. Webex help us to present our content with very reach user experience and flexible ways for attendees to join it. Webex meetings are helping us to organize meetings and also use our room kit mini hardware to be on same platform.
  • Content Sharing
  • Background effect
  • noice cancellation
  • Noice cancellation sometimes doesn't work
  • There is one major feature lack I feel while comparing it with teams. in webex while sharing Power point as application, I can not select presentation windows while using share specific app. reason to do so is to hide presentation notes. This features is available in teams. I am aware this will work If I choose share file and browse that PPT and use ppt notes. But user experience is not so good and handy with it.
one point I have not given as while sharing PPT as application there is no option to select presentation view only. and entire screen with presenter view gets diplayed to all. rest all features are perfectly working. Virtual background also very helpful in pandamic time. please help to deliver less CPU intensive app.

I use Webex Meetings to collaborate with suppliers, partners, customer and collaborators making online meetings and callings, and Videos. I make also events in combination with Slido, and I use the messaging to chat and collaborate. I take part of a lot of Webex Meetings spaces to collaborate and receive information.
  • Messaging.
  • Video.
  • Calling.
  • Events.
  • Logging.
  • Same app for different users ID, I mean, If I have 2 Webex accounts, be able to use them with the same app.
Everyday videoconferences with suppliers and customers. Events with customers. Training for new employees. Support for users. Quite useful all of them during the pandemic and now in this new hybrid scenery. Also very powerful to work in team projects within distributed environments along different locations. Very useful to share screen to collaborate to solve lots of situations

It's keep on updating with new features so WebEx is very useful to all our meeting , chating and call and screen share all kind of activities we are doing in single app
  • It's automatically disconnected and not showing its disconnected message, if it shows we won't miss any message
  • Phone service most of the time unavailable in mobile WebEx
  • It's taking time around 5 second when we accepted and answering a WebEx call
  • Disconnected popup alert can show
  • Answer call should not take long time
  • Mobile phone service should connect
For immediate call and screen share with meeting WebEx is very easy to use and fast and user-friendly

I use Webex for internal meetings, daily communication between team members internally and for holding client meetings.
  • Allows for large meetings internally and externally.
  • allows you to create specifics rules for holding your meeting such as how you let people in, muting and unmuting participants, using white board, sharing presenters, sharing screen or information.
  • great background options
  • When there are allot of people on a call, it can be hard to have everyone on camera this seems slow the bandwidth down and causes freezing.
  • I have issues with calls dropping, this could be my internet but I am not losing WiFi just the calls drop.
  • Smoother transition on updates, often times when WebEx updates there is a time that the system seems to have glitches. When you use WebEx everyday that can be very frustrating.
WebEx works just as well if not better than Zoom or teams. I do find that more of my clients use teams so it would be nice to see WebEx integrate with other products, although not feasible I do run into some issues where other companies don't use Webex and there employees can't get into the WebEx meetings. We are a large company and WebEx is a great fit for us, maybe for smaller companies and educational environments zoom is better but I cant really think of any reason where or why WebEx wouldn't be suitable.

Initially we started using Webex Meetings as internal and external meeting and collaboration tool. With time and as we switched to O365, Teams slowly replaced Webex Meetings for internal short calls however it IS still irreplaceable for bigger audience and external meetings. Webex Meetings level of control, invitations, integrations with Cisco conference systems, live tools like pools, Q&A is simply top notch and still unique on the market.
  • Control level (open close meetings, lobby, invitations).
  • Big audience events and streams.
  • Intuitiveness.
  • Short calls and short collaborations.
  • Internal dictionary integrations.
Intuitive and easy to use tool.

We use WebEx meetings for all of our internal meetings. We have people that work remote, so this helps to ensure that everyone can attend meetings that need to be there.
  • I really enjoy the whiteboard feature so that we can draw out diagrams of what we are talking about.
  • We are able to communicate without any issues for the most part.
  • It is not overly difficult to start a meeting.
  • I think my feedback would be more for WebEx in general. I do not like the fact that I need to name a space. There are certain times that I would just like to talk to 3 people without labeling the space.
  • I think sometimes it can be difficult to find the features.
I feel like most of the time virtual meetings are a normal occurrence. Some conversations are better in person, but that is a case by case thing.

Small portion of business units and executives use in conjunction with Cisco telepresence/video conference devices for meetings. It solves for the need of hybrid meetings as well as more advanced reporting and analytics via Control Hub.

Well suited for more tech-savvy users who want advanced screen sharing and remote control features, as well as executives who need higher video quality for their meetings. Many corporate users prefer Teams Meetings for simplistic UI and join experience.

We use Webex meetings to schedule meetings with TAC, vendors to discuss problems or purchasing decisions. This product helps organize and schedule meetings with ease. While wedo use Microsoft teams with internal meetings, Cisco Webex is better for when scheduling meetings with outside personnel. We mostly use it for screen sharing and video calls.
  • Screen Share
  • Voice Call
  • Docment Sharing
  • Instant message
  • Connecting to the meeting itself is sometimes finicky.
Webex meetings is well suited for collaboration between external customers or vendors. It has a very easy interface to use and helps well when trying to schedule meetings. The screen share is also very useful when troubleshooting someones problem or when making a presentation to show off products or app development.

I prefer the webex interface to MS Teams, however MS Teams has a few tools that are easier to access. Especially during a screen sharing session when the tools menu is not visable. The pop ups whe doing screen sharing re in the way as well. Always have to shuffle things around when screen sharing
