Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Webex Events

Cisco Webex events is used by primarily by the HR department to conduct external or internal trainings, broadcast some information or to conduct webinars from an external host. It allows to have engaging session and enable large number of participants to join the event. Further, its main use is when internal entities are involved as our existing communication systems are only restricted to company employees.
  • Gives great control to the hosts like muting and unmuting.
  • Can predefine presenters prior to the meeting.
  • Meeting information like attendees is automatically recorded by the application.
  • Slow to start the application specially when joining via web browser.
  • Expensive for use for limited audience.
  • Look and feel is outdated.
  • Ease of setting up sessions.
  • Quicker time to broadcast news.
  • Improved meeting 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.

Do you think Webex Webinars delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Webex Webinars's feature set?

Yes

Did Webex Webinars live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Webex Webinars go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Webex Webinars again?

Yes

Great meeting experience with ability to chat with presenters only, post comments to wider group anonymously, ability to vote or raise hand.

However, user interface can be made more modern.
Not an organizer, hence can not comment on it. But if the HR department is mainly using it, then I believe the support would be good.
Suited when need to conduct session with a very large number, both internal and external audience is onvolved, need to give large control to the presenters/host.

Less suited when participants are fewer as it is expensive compared to some other tools or if all participants need to be equally involved.
