Overall Satisfaction with Webex App

Currently using it as a UC platform, similar to Teams. It doesn't hold the same usage footprint as Teams, so adoption is slow and we're likely moving away from it.

Pros

  • Chat messages
  • Calling
  • Bounce to meetings

Cons

  • Integration with SharePoint
  • Room connectivity (getting better!)
  • Increased integration with all O365 ecosystem
  • No negative impact
  • Bundling with other solutions means as we move away from Cisco in certain spaces, makes sense to move away from Webex App
  • Webex Meetings
  • Webex App
  • Webex Calling
  • Cisco Webex Room Series
Call quality troubleshooting at remote user locations
Similar to other cloud solutions, more human factors to deal with adjustment. The technology worked as expected.
People can have some external life back, while still being productive. Contention around the productivity of remote employees does not always improve as they move back to the office.
Teams integration into other MS tools and other partners of MS are a huge advantage.

Cisco Hybrid Work

  • Working from anywhere (e.g., coffee shop, airport)
  • Working from an office or other company space
  • Working from home
I've worked like this since 2014
Ubiquitous access and user experience.
  • Webex
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Zoom
  • BlueJeans
  • RingCentral
I generally use what the customer provides, unless they prefer mine.

Cisco Webex Experience

None. "Marketing platform?"
It's a great solution and quite simple for non-technical users to adopt all of the extended features.
By making thesse options easy to use, we've been able to see adoption increase. In the past, these types of features required development of training materials and focus groups to move the adoption needle.

Using Webex App

2 - Technical consultants.
We are technical users who deploy UC solutions. We don't have internal support.
  • Customer sales meetings
  • Screen share, technical work
  • Project status meetings
  • Transcriptions are incredibly valuable
There's not a really compelling reason to switch. Cisco has kept the lead over the competition.

Evaluating Webex App and Competitors

  • Cloud Solutions
  • Ease of Use
My customers don't need assistance using it.
I wouldn't change my process or evaluation.

Using Webex App

Still a bit of confusion with multiple device choices. Also, I really hate explaining the choice to install the app when helping someone join for the first time. This is my meeting time you're taking while a non-technical user is trying to install the app.
  • Screen share
  • Switch devices
  • Join without client install
Yes - It's fine. Even this survey doesn't work seamlessly on a mobile device. (Can't read the questions on several screens. Left half of the words are blocked.)
