Reliability and Availability

Cisco Webex Meetings have a full-time availability because you can start a meeting from different options, like mobile, PC, telepresence equipment. You can always be connected to any meeting as long as you have any hardware compatible with an internet connection, although sometimes using Webex Meetings PC software can slow down it quite a bit.

Scalability

It has flexible, scalable software via different sites but it comes with a price tag when you want to interact with other items. This is due to license requirements that sometimes can be costly and hard to understand which one suits better for your organization because the license model is complex. But when you set it up, it lives up to expectations.

Performance

Performance when using dedicated equipment is flawless, but when you use the application via PC or mobile it sometimes struggles to work. It can slow down your hardware quite a lot, especially when you share content or ask for remote control of other users, and especially when you have too many people connected with video sources.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Cisco Webex Meetings is great for school/college because of breakout sessions, for executive meetings in an organization using Cisco Telepresence equipment, for streaming live events to external sites like Youtube or Facebook live. It is good for small organizations to establish a meeting for their day to day operations.

Webex Meeting a lifesaver during this pandemic times.
