Overall Satisfaction with Webex Calling

In our organization, we use Webex Calling as the core communication platform for voice calling, replacing our on premise PBX systems. We use it across multiple departments and locations to enable seamless internal and external communication via cloud based telephony. We can make and receive calls through desk phones, desktop applications and mobile devices, no matter where they are located.

Pros

  • Reliable call performance with high quality
  • Multi Device Experience
  • Integrated collaboration and calling with other Webex tools
  • Scalable across different locations

Cons

  • User Interface could be more modern
  • Occasional sync issues with devices
  • Whiteboarding export and sharing options could be more
  • Increased our team productivity
  • Great business continuity and reliability
  • Scalable growth without complexity
Yes we use Webex Meetings alongside Webex Calling to streamline how we can move between calls and video conferences. If a phone call needs deeper discussion, we can escalate it to a video meeting without switching platforms. We also use Cisco desk phones and room devices that are deeply integrated with the Webex platform. The key benefit of the other Cisco products is consistency across communication channels.
One of the things I appreciate most is that the security features are enabled by default. Another thing is end to end encryption for calls and signaling, secure SIP and encrypted voicemail storage all work in the background. This ensures a secure calling experience from day one. For meetings that involve our clients we can control access through waiting rooms, PINs and access and host controls. Overall, Webex Calling provides secure and frictionless experience.

Would you buy Webex Calling again?

According to my experience where Webex Calling is well suited is for hybrid and remote work environments. Our team includes remote employees and hybrid workers across locations worldwide and Webex Calling works exceptionally well for us. The scenario where Webex Calling is less appropriate is where the team is very small or startups that just need basic calling without any advanced routing.
