Webex for your daily operational work needs.
Overall Satisfaction with Webex Meetings
We commonly use Webex to hold troubleshooting sessions and live meetings.
Pros
- Interactive screen share.
- Remote access.
- Session recordings.
Cons
- Speed of access.
- Voice clarity.
- Great collaboration tool that brings together people on different countries.
- For remote access there are times that bandwidth is a challenge.
- Cisco AnyConnect
The internet bandwidth that you use at home to support the remote work connectivity. Having a secured remote session with working from anywhere.
Our only challenge is in terms of monitoring the productivity of the remote workers since we do not have a full time visibility on how remote workers do their job on a daily basis.
It is a framework that was done or brought instantaneously due to the pandemic and we are able to deliver the work even at the convenience of our own home.
- Microsoft Teams and Zoom
Webex is more collaborative and interactive. It has easy user interface that would be useful even for beginners.

The bright spot that I’ve experienced from the Cisco support is their willingness to go beyond the extra mile to ensure that the issue gets resolved. The engineers are willing to extend extra hours of their work just to ensure that we properly get our system going.
