Virtual training has supported collaborative learning and now needs a simpler and clearer interface
Webex can be simplified in terms of user interface, where many features should be displayed in a compact view, with similar features grouped together and a minimalistic design helping users understand what each button does. If specific features are not needed, they should not distract you, and some features should appear as sliding elements for ease of access. Additionally, connecting to Webex can be technical, and it would be beneficial to have a way to connect anonymously using a simple code instead of going through microphone issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of functionality, it has some interesting features that I haven't seen in other solutions like content rewind where you can see content from the beginning of the meeting even though you weren't there when it commenced."
"I like the share information function."
"We use the solution for team collaboration, document sharing, and video conferencing services. It integrates well with on-premises video conferencing systems and supports chatting through text messaging and instant messaging."
"Interesting collaboration features."
"I can say firsthand that the reason we work with Avaya as a user and as a business partner is because it's by far the most stable and scalable platform among unified communications platforms in the market."
"It is very easy to jump from one communication channel to another one. It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."
"WebEx provides the option to record the chat or delete it. You can also dial into the video on your mobile to communicate with the engineer or whoever. One aspect we like most is that the audio is clear. That is one of the most valuable features of WebEx."
"A valuable feature of Webex is that it's useful for virtual meetings and similar webinars."
"I appreciate the developers of Webex because it's a wonderful tool. What I found most valuable in it is the seamless experience it offers, in terms of connecting with any person at any time remotely, without any glitches. This is the main advantage of Webex. I also like that the platform is user-friendly, so anyone using the tool for the first time won't find any difficulties when logging in or accessing it."
"The most valuable feature of Webex is ease to use."
"Cisco has very good technical support across all of its offerings, not just WebEx."
"My advice is that people make use of the cloud-based solution, as opposed to the on-premises one, because it is easy and very good."
"Webex is easy to use, even for people who are just learning it, and they can join meetings or share content with the click of a link."
"What we like about Webex is that it's easy to use, and it's easy to set meetings and connect to meetings on this solution."
 

Cons

"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."
"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."
"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."
"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."
"Unfortunately, the video conferencing, both audio and video were not as good as Webex or Microsoft."
"I wouldn't describe WebEx as stable; I've had issues with it in the past."
"Webex can be improved in terms of better user experience."
"Nowadays, it is hard to set up meetings using Webex since it has become a complicated process."
"We no longer use Webex because we found Microsoft Teams to be more stable."
"It would be better if it were more secure. I do expect Webex to keep up with hackers and their latest techniques."
"The software, licenses and hardware combine to make the solution extremely expensive."
"The video requirement is kind of high."
"I think it's very inconvenient to have to enter my email address all the time just to be a visitor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."
"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"The price of the license depends a lot on the type of service required and whether it is for the entire company or only for a few users."
"Licensing is subscription-based and the cost varies depending on how many minutes are included in the plan."
"There is a subscription needed to use this solution and we pay approximately $5,000 per year."
"I use the free version, not the enterprise version. The only compelling reason to go for paid WebEx pay is if you're hosting large meetings."
"The pricing of this solution is fine and I am satisfied with it."
"I am not aware of the pricing details."
"The price of the license for the solution could be less expensive."
