Webex Webinars is Solid Webinar Platform
- Zoom and Microsoft Teams
Each vendor determines which platform works best for their presentations. Each platform has its strengths and weaknesses. Teams is a memory hog that can often freeze up someone's computer because of bandwidth issues. Zoom has tons of bells and whistles and offers more than just webinars. Webex Webinars is a solid platform for when you don't need a lot of audience participation.

Virtual Webinars Done Right
- Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Skype
Compared to other big-name video conferencing software, Webex Webinars stands out as it serves to cater to large events whereas the competition does not. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Skype to name a few, have all garnered much attention due to the need for virtual meetings but none accomplish the task of facilitating large events as seamlessly as Webex Webinars. Unlike the competition which most likely could not handle events of such a large scale, Webex Webinars maintains reliable connection and meeting integrity, allowing users to focus on the experience at hand.

Meet Me Halfway with WebEx Event Center
- Adobe Connect, GoToMeeting and Join.me
In my opinion, WebEx Event Center is one of the more reliable and accessible tools in its space. Video and audio streams are solid and it offers many of the features that a company would ask for from a tool like this. I will say that Event Center could learn from products like Join.me when it comes to meeting recording and downloading.

Enhance your attendees' experience with Webex Webinars' engaging and interactive features
Webex Webinars has more customisation options than Zoom Webinars and allows a staggering 1,00,000 attendees in a webinar. It also provides detailed analytics after the webinar which helps us make informed decision and look for ways to increase our number of attendees and the time they attended the webinar for. Lastly, its polling and Q&A features are much better than Zoom Webinars.

Meets our needs but could be alot better
One of the main reason we chose Webex Webinar was because trainers like the in-webinar/training emoticons that stick next to a user's name on the participant panel. Other products just have the emoji's that pop up, but you can't easily tell who posted them. Those are important to us so we can engage with participants without them coming off mute.

WebEx: perfect tool for studying.
- Google Meet and Zoom
WebEx has some advantages over Google Meet and Zoom. For instance, Google Meetin has a video meeting recording option only in the commercial version of the subscription. Zoom can record for up to 40 minutes only, which is not really suitable for a long-lasting event like lectures. One of the main reasons for choosing WebEx was a free one-year subscription for users from Ukraine. Currently, due to the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, lots of budgets are being cut including the university budget. So it's quite hard to get budgeting for efficient e-learning tools. That's why WebEx is a good choice.

Perfect for Any Kind of Meetings and Presentations
- Zoom and Google Meet
We have been using Webex webinar for a long time and we did not find a reason to change to other applications because of the kind of features it provides for a larger group like us.

Zoom has updated and is gaining fast on Webex and lot user friendlier when it comes to break out rooms.

Great Communication tool with good accessibility features!
- Microsoft Teams and Zoom
I think Webex is comparable to Zoom in features and quality. We chose it because we use the whole suite of Webex tools.

There are some features that score above them but going for Webex was a management decision. The security feature of WebEx is what drove the decision. Most of the customers can join WebEx without any security concerns. Other applications have a lot of restrictions interns of usage at customers' premises as it is not allowed there.

Webex is awesome conference tool
I enjoy the fact that it is very simple and easy to use when joining a meeting. You can see all sides and chat boxes with everyone who may share comments. I liked that you could easily create web conferences that are user-friendly. The options are available to schedule an event and schedule multiple events.

- Zoom, Skype for Business (formerly Lync) and now part of Microsoft Teams
Webex Events is my choice to make events because it can afford more participants without losing audio and video quality. Webex Events is more professional, and with it, we can make high-level events like a Digital Summit. The users can use it without the need [for an] application to be installed and have an account.

Webex Events - A great universally accepted tool for business meetings both internally and externally.
We actually prefer MS teams as its now easier to chat; manage virtual backgrounds, better audio, and overall more features and tools. Given we actually use MS teams for daily meetings now, it led to us also using MS Events. As a result, we began to consolidate to only using MS teams for both daily meetings and MS events for larger meetings - in lieu of Webex Events.

There are many products similar to Webex meetings but I have never used any similar to Webex Events as an event organizer

Webex Events is reliable and full of features
- Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Discord
When it comes to webinars and large audiences, Webex Events have far more options than other regular meeting platforms. There is a little advantage in sound quality and screen sharing, but it counts. other platforms like zoom have a nicer interface but lack the many "Webex Events" options and features

Make a high quality event for your team
I would choose Webex Events to make an event because it can support more participants than Microsoft Teams. Webex Events can accept people with different email addresses not only local or organization/business emails. Webex Events has a higher quality audio and video connection and it can help have more professional meetings.

Using it internally to employees & externally to customers
- ON24 and Microsoft Teams
Webex Events is used internally by the company so we use it free without paying any fees, unlike ON24 we need to pay money for every webcast we need to do. Microsoft Teams has small issues in the connectivity when the audience is more than 100.

Not the best experience with Webex Events. More of a virtual info session platform than events.
- Zoom and Zoom Events
Honestly, Webex Events didn't stack up that well against Zoom. The backend event details section was not as robust, the interface is not very user-friendly and the audio/video quality was not as good. The primary reason I chose to use Webex Events was that we already had an enterprise license with Cisco Webex. Since using Webex Events, we've now shifted all of our ongoing, virtual experiences to utilize Zoom or Zoom Events.

Webex Events is a blessing during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Our company tried RingCentral before switching over to Webex Events. Both are very similar when it comes to providing a platform to allow people to communicate with one another. Overall, Webex provided us with a much simpler interface to navigate. Webex also presented us with close to no technical issues whereas RingCentral gave us constant issues during meetings and events.

- ON24 and Zoom
Compared to Zoom, we prefer Cisco Webex Events for a number of reasons. Namely, for the sake of streamlining alongside other Cisco products that are heavily relied upon throughout the firm. While Zoom is very popular, Cisco Webex Events was preferred for security purposes, as well as for the additional functionalities compared to Zoom (again, integration with Webex Meetings and Teams, etc.)
Compared to ON24, Webex Events does lack quite a bit of functionality. Webex Events is a basic event broadcasting platform while the comparison is highly customizable. Depending on the needs, one is more suitable than the other.

We had to use something hosted externally and the Cisco Webex Events product just had the best host of features. Polling and online Q&A were important features. And the multimedia which of course Skype has. But we've had bandwidth problems in the past with Skype and it's probably more a factor of the internal network, not the product itself. Webex we don't get those robotic voices like we sometimes do on Skype. But again - I suspect that is network, not tool limitations.
The one limitation I see, and we get this with conference calls, and other forms of virtual collaboration tools [are] the participant limitation. Rarely do we need to go over 1,000 participants, but sometimes when we just want to disseminate information to multiple teams, the limitation is hard. We might have a live in-person event that we want to simulcast as a webinar and we will accept Q&A from the live event only. So it's important that we can have over 1,000 people.

Flexible webinar and training experience
- Zoom
We have now started using Zoom as it is relatively cheaper and also people are now more used to it as for small group meetings, this is preferred tool in our company.
License to host Cisco Webex Events is limited to only HR department or senior executives in our company, hence for more formal events this is preferred tool.
