Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Webex Meetings

Cisco Webex Meetings is used in our organization for organizing virtual meetings, conferences, troubleshooting over Cisco Webex Meetings. Cisco Webex Meetings meet gives an awesome environment where people can join virtually and do a meeting as if they are sitting in a same room. Features like video calling and voice calling gives an extra advantage of a personal touch which we get. You can share you screen and do presentations over your computer while you are in a meeting so you don't need a board a pen or a paper for it. You can even share only the apps you want to share via your PC and the meetings are secured with a meeting invite and passcode so no one can barge in.
  • Cisco Webex Meetings can provide virtual meeting rooms
  • You can do audio/video calls using your phones/tablets/PC as its cross platform
  • Meetings can be recorded for a person who didnt joined the meeting and want to review it
  • Cisco Webex Meetings app takes a lot of time to start
  • It need a software to be installed on pc to make it work which some organizations doesnt allow
  • The explorer version of it doesnt let you share the screen sometimes
  • If sometimes you it gives an annoying sound saying you are being muted
  • Cisco Webex Meetings helped people in arranging meetings from home and saved cost of booking rooms or hotels for it
  • It saved time for organizing meetings as a meeting can be organized instantly on Cisco Webex Meetings
  • A negative impact is it needs a sterdy network and a network drop can disconnect you from meeting
  • You dont require a hardware as cisco will give you per user license for it, So no hardware cost
Cisco Webex Meetings is a product for which you can buy licenses from cisco directly and you dont require a server on premise. So you dont have to worry about the cost for building and maintaining a server as it a cisco responsibility. It gives you alot for feature like video/audio calls and also the ability to record meetings for future reference. You can have people virtually raise hands and ask questions and it gives a feel of a real meet without meeting in person. Its a vey cost effective product being use in the market and reliable due to the owner being Cisco.

I gave it a 9 rating because i never faced any issue using it . Its a reliable product and gives a one stop solution for a meeting product. Video/voice calling, file sharing, presentation and video confrencing. It gives you a steady network with a good support from Cisco . Other that that its secured as a passcode and meeting ID is used for it. You can connect to Cisco Webex Meetings anytime anywhere from any device you have and without having a VPN as its cloud based product.
I would rate 9 because Cisco Webex Meetings is a solution which is widespread. You can either have on prem or you can have it hosted on cisco cloud. Cisco gives you plans according to your needs whch varies in cost. So you can have starter,business or enterprise plan according to your need. you are not bounded to pay for ant extra cost as it pay per use bases. You can use it and pay on monthly bases which gives you an ability to switch if you dont like the product as you dont own any hardware which will get waste if you dont use it anymore.
Cisco Webex Meetings gives problem with PC/laptops as it requires a plugin to be downloaded on the pc and gets its installed . In some offices installing extra software is sometime prohibited due to security reasons so they have to run it over the internet browsers which limits its ability of screen sharing. Also if your internet connection is not reliable it drops the meeting or effects voice quality. Cisco Webex Meetings main screen takes a lot of time to load.
It is well suited for IT companies as its commonly used for meetings and troubleshooting. when you are a implementation engineer and needs customers desktop for troubleshooting on his network you can use it to control his pc and do troubleshooting without being on his network. It can be used for doing online meetings which became very popular at the time of pandemics when no one can meet in real. This virtual meetings helped a lot to run businesses successfully without meeting me in person.
