Webex Calling: our tool of choice for large group calls

We use Webex Calling for conference calls, usually involving large groups. Since our organization has a Cisco subscription to the service, Webex Calling is preferred to free software with limited functionalities, like the free version of Zoom. As I mentioned, we prefer using Webex Calling for large groups but not for one-on-one calls. The ability to create meeting links and allow guests to join is a plus. I usually use Webex Calling as a meeting organizer within my organization and especially for outside calling, since the ability to allow guests is an important functionality. I also like the fact that Webex can be integrated with Outlook, so that meetings can be setup directly via using Outlook.

The security on Webex Calling has always been a great feature. So much so, that our standard organizational instruction is to use Webex Calling for calls where secure financial data will be discussed or screen shared. Similarly, for any calls with sensitive data or information being shared, we use Webex Calling. The other advantage is that this security is built into the system and does not need activation or any additional steps.
