Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We frequently used Skype but had many issues and difficulties arise, we decided as a company to take larger meetings to use Cisco Webex and it has been a great experience. Very smooth and no downtime.

Pros and Cons

Ease of calendar invite and organization.
Groups of large people, streams flawlessly.
Easy to share presentations and transfer control of screen.

The GUI is minimal, could be expanded a little bit.

Return on Investment

Sharing presentations and whiteboards.
Hosting Q&A sessions, chat and video conference.

Alternatives Considered

Skype for Business (formerly Lync)

Skype was limited to authenticated users, it was difficult to add non-corporate users in different networks - using Cisco Webex eliminates that issue.
