Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meeting Server

Cisco Meeting Server was used for easy collaboration with its simple and easy-to-use features that increased the productivity of the associates using it. Features like anyone could join the meetings; high-quality communications helped a great deal in solving collaboration-related problems. It used to scale in a way that we never faced an issue of limiting the audiences for the collaboration initiatives.
  • Quality of Video.
  • Unlimited access to multiple people for same meeting.
  • Seamless connectivity most of the times.
  • Sharing recorded contents online could be easily done.
  • Faced issues sometimes linking with MS outlook.
  • Good and robust collaboration tool which helped.
  • Easy integration with surrounding tools like MS office was great advantage.
  • Sharing recorded content wasn't easy, so had to use screen capture sometimes, which was not great.
In the ecosystem of Microsoft-based operating systems and Microsoft Office products, the Microsoft team always proved better in many ways. Features like meeting details downloaded in an excel form, recording, and sharing content easily helped a great deal in day-to-day work while working with MS Teams. So overall, MS Teams felt better than Cisco.

Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Meeting Server
Very well suited for scenarios where you need to have hundreds of people attending video meetings - works very well. MS Office integration worked very well, barring a few minor issues here and there. Sometimes dealing with easy accessibility for recorded content can be a challenge when you do not have a Cisco account. The polling option could be simplified, as creating a poll is a bit tedious.
