Microsoft Teams is a little more versatile than Webex Webinars since it used for video conferencing and collaboration, at least at first blush. However, as a hosting software for webinars, it's a little more finicky and a bit less intuitive to facilitate different media for presentation, especially if you want to incorporate audio and video elements.

I think it's more reliable, honestly. I've had a lot of issues with GoTo. People complain about it a lot. They have gotomeeting, they have GoToWebinar, so they probably roughly align with the WebEx. But to me they're not. I've had fewer issues within the actual webinar with the WebEx version than the GoTo.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

- 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.

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.
