OSCAR DE LA PENA - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solution Architect at Ricoh España, S.L.U.
One-click meeting access and seamless integration enhance video conferencing experience
Cisco TelePresence could improve the WebRTC connections, as they are quite slow. The end user experiences delays when using WebRTC, sometimes taking one minute or more to receive a connection. This issue is mainly due to Cisco taking a long time to download and start the WebRTC client on their devices. Ensuring it is embedded in the device could help.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have multiple branches countrywide and we all connect to one seamless system for all our communication needs."
"3CX Live Chat is easy to manage and is a very customizable platform."
"I can safely say that there is nothing that beats the ease of deployment, functionality and stability of 3CX."
"3CX technical support is top notch and the best of any vendor I've encountered so far."
"LiveChat makes it easy to respond to your customers and connect with them."
"The dashboards and interface of the solution are very good, they have covered most of the main features needed for our needs."
"Over the past several years we have deployed and worked on over 100+ 3CX platforms in all shapes, sizes and flavors, from on premise to cloud based it is our go to solution for clients needing a robust UC/PBX platform."
"Easy management console access through web browsers with a good interface to Outlook and multiple CRM systems."
"If at any point we require any support or our team requires any support, we just call into the Cisco support with their call-in number and they are very good."
"The configuration is a valuable."
"Telepresence's most valuable feature is keeping highly paid employees, such as executives, on the ground instead of wasting time flying around the world. So if you have the right telepresence plan and form, it's not just the video cameras and the systems behind them, it's the way you lay out your meeting room.You can have multiple offices interconnecting in a single meeting, and it looks like everybody's in the same big conference room together because the telepresence yields such a fantastic amount of clarity."
"Cisco is a leader in video conferencing solutions because they apply the latest technologies to their devices and services, such as artificial intelligence and versatile functionalities."
"It was stable. So, I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"PresenterTrack cameras improve the meeting experience."
"Superior video and audio experience."
"The most valuable features of Cisco TelePresence are the basic standard features and the ease of use. Additionally, the configuration and integration are exemplary."
 

Cons

"Having a video call would be a nice idea."
"There's some complexity in interfacing with external devices."
"The reporting and dashboards of 3CX could be improved."
"The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple. The full installation process took a few days."
"Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."
"I would like to see is for the status to have a “time in status” field so people can see how long someone has been in that particular status."
"The solution could improve the web meeting feature. There is a lot of competition from all the other applications that are out there, such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom. I find I do not use it that much. I do not know how much effort they are putting into the web meeting part of the program but it could improve."
"During one upgrade, we lost conferencing that took several months to add back in the new version."
"The tool is expensive."
"MX800 comes only with one available DVI port. A few more HDMI ports will improve the system's capability."
"Cisco TelePresence license is expensive and should be reduced."
"I was in touch with one of our clients and they mentioned that they would like to have a holographic video conferencing. It would be great if that feature would be added."
"Cisco TelePresence could improve the WebRTC connections, as they are quite slow."
"The calling features can be improved."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, with ten being expensive. It was complex with badges and certificates. Too crazy."
"Cisco TelePresence could improve its integration capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Switching from POTS or PRI to SIP Trunk save the customer real costs. ROI is seen in less than a year."
"We used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."
"There aren't any additional costs. With the license I purchased, I have all features that I need. I don't have to buy an add-on or another license."
"There is no add-on costing on the standard fees."
"We have purchased an annual license to use 3CX Live Chat. There are different options available, you can pay monthly or yearly. I am completely satisfied with the pricing of 3CX Live Chat, it is cheaper than competitors and it is a better solution."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There are different license options available. For example, there is a professional version and an enterprise version, and with the enterprise version, you have the ability to modify the dashboards. You can purchase a license at many different time frame increments, such as monthly, yearly, or two years."
"The price of the solution has been reasonable. We have not had any problems or complaints with the licensing model. We have not reached a point where we need to upgrade. We have all the correct channels."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise license."
"Cisco TelePresence license is expensive and should be reduced. There is only a cost for the license and it is annually."
"I will rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price of Cisco Telepresence is high, especially in Brazil. However, the quality of the product justifies the cost."
"The pricing is expensive, therefore I rate it an eight out of ten."
"We used high definition, 1080p, but again, it required license purchases. For example, with three licenses (TP licenses), each allowing one 1080p screen, if I had six participants, I'd need to lower the resolution to 720p or lower to accommodate more participants. More licenses meant more cost."
