Overall Satisfaction with Webex Meetings
Webex Meetings is one option we use for meetings, especially hybrid meetings where several participants are online and several are together in one meeting space. The good integration with meeting devices is one of the strongest reasons we use Webex Meetings -- the RoomKit, DX80, and other devices are very high quality and connect well with Webex Meetings.
- Meeting Device Integration
- Strong security features
- APIs allowing connectivity with Otter.ai
- Transcription
- Creating meetings can require many clicks (compared to others)
- The Webex Meetings apps require many clicks to get through to a meeting - far more than competitors
- Complexity -- We have to support many different meeting platforms
- Good meeting options -- Good quality devices we can use for hybrid meetings
- Reliability -- Robust meeting platform works when we need it
- Cisco Webex Room Series
- Cisco Webex DX80
- Cisco Catalyst Switches
We were well suited for hybrid work because we've always been a mobile workforce, and had a fair bit of need to work from home and other locations.
Webex Meetings with the Room OS devices have been useful to allow us to have many kinds of meetings. However, in most cases, conventional all-online meetings work OK, with everybody in their own office... even if they're in the same building with each other. This provides the best possible "democratic" equalizing experience because even the Room OS devices with 5K cameras cannot compete with giving each participant a private camera and private microphone, such as you have with a laptop.
- Google Meet and Zoom
We use a mixture of Google Meet, Zoom, and Webex Meetings, with the majority in Google Meet. We use Webex Meetings where it is required or where it's the easiest option to use with the device.
