Overall Satisfaction with Webex Meetings
We use Webex meetings to meet live with our various remote employees to brainstorm ideas, discuss difficult issues, catch up and have 1 on 1’s, have group meetings and company updates, etc. We also use Webex Meetings to have contract negotiations live after having a few redline exchanges via email, as a live discussion is usually much faster to close out big remaining issues.
- It connects well with Outlook so you can quickly pop in Webex links to meeting invites
- Webex typically has very good image quality for webinars
- Webex chat works well during webinar meetings
- Webex does not have the best UI and many users get confused the first few times they use it
- Webex crashes quite often which is very frustrating during important meetings
- Users can’t tell they’re muted or can’t find how to share their screen
- We used both Webex and Zoom, and also were bringing on Teams. I think it had a positive ROI for the departments/teams that preferred Webex but if there are Zoom users trying to join Webex meetings, they would sometimes show up 4-5 minutes late from trying to join the meeting.
Webex is better than BlueJeans, Google Meet, and perhaps matches up with Teams in terms of ease-of-use and getting meetings started on time. Our company uses Webex because it’s a Microsoft Outlook company and many of the execs and tech teams prefer Webex. Cost-wise, Zoom may be better if you get Enterprise as it’s a flat cost per user.
