Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meeting Server

We have Cisco WebEx and Zoom subscriptions, but these are cloud based meeting providers. We were looking for a product which can be used to host meetings at on-premise to keep the data on-prem for security. We researched, apart from Cisco Meeting Server, only Poly had a similar solution but it was quite outdated.

Pros

  • Video meetings
  • Webrtc
  • audio meetings
  • cisco call manager integrations

Cons

  • a bit difficult to implement
  • maintenance
  • requires a technical resource with enterprise or partner
  • We used it for most of the Board and exec meetings, which are quite a few in our business. Reduced travelling and saved costs
  • Implementation is a bit tedious and thus requires experts/partner
  • Requires expert people too manage unlike Webex/Zoom which are cloud based and don't have anything on-prem
Apart from Cisco Meeting Server, only Poly offers full fledged on-premise meeting server. Their solution is called Polycom RealPresence
Collaboration Server. But there solutions are mostly outdated. Even though they have recently changes to subscription via Poly Clarity but servers are still very old. Whereas Cisco Meeting Server was recently updated and integrates well with WebEx and Cisco's other products.

For any customer who is looking to keep their video meetings data on-premise, Cisco Meeting Server is the answer for that. Most customers want their board meeting information/recording should be on-premise as it might include secret stuff such as earnings data. They should look at it. Moreover, there is a solution called Video mesh by Cisco, wherein it can be integrated be WebEx for overflow, this can also be implemented.
