Sentiment score
6.8
Cisco's customer service is praised, but technical support feedback is mixed, with users noting varied response times and effectiveness.
The support was fine, but it was not a product of Webex per se; it was a product of the third-party we were working with.
Program Manager at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Webex supports our daily communication and collaboration needs, but not extensively, as all support is via our service center.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
PGi GlobalMeet is praised for user-friendliness and scalability, despite some concerns, and supports large participant numbers effectively.
Sentiment score
7.1
Webex is scalable, supporting small to large teams, but some report stability issues in larger deployments.
I believe Webex should be performing fine scalability-wise since when we called, we should have been more than 20 in the call together.
Web Designer / Developer & Creative Professional at Federal University of Technology Akure
Webex is very scalable, and I do not think that our organization has ever reached its limit.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions

Users find PGi GlobalMeet stable and user-friendly, with occasional issues during large meetings but generally praised for reliability.
Sentiment score
7.5

Room For Improvement

PGi GlobalMeet improvements needed include report access, connectivity, presenter tools, and clearer notifications, addressing user and technical challenges.
Webex requires enhancements in usability, connectivity, integration, interface design, pricing, support, scalability, and flexibility for better user experience.
Zoom has a big advantage in simplicity, especially for the other side to connect to a session.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions
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.
Web Designer / Developer & Creative Professional at Federal University of Technology Akure
One of the pain points with the interface is that sometimes it gets stuck when launching or starting a room.

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers appreciate PGi GlobalMeet's fair pricing, flexibility, and bundling benefits, though some view it as expensive yet valuable.
Webex costs vary by features and user numbers, often higher than competitors unless bundled with Cisco infrastructure.
The licensing model doesn't work because if I want to implement it for an organization, I need to pay a per-user license, which makes it very restrictive.
Program Manager at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Webex is expensive.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions
 

Valuable Features

PGi GlobalMeet excels in easy meeting setup, seamless conferencing, collaborative features, and efficient remote meeting management with recording capabilities.
Webex is praised for its user-friendly interface, security, seamless integration, and versatile conferencing features meeting diverse needs.
It has improved the incident resolution time by getting into a call in Webex rooms and remediating the issues together as soon as possible.
Senior Consultant at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
I can always recommend Webex to companies looking for a better alternative to Google Teams, especially since it probably does not consume as much data as Microsoft Teams.
Web Designer / Developer & Creative Professional at Federal University of Technology Akure
The number one reason we chose Webex was the security features.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions

A scalable and stable solution that offers good production support
I am impressed with the tool's production support.  The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system.  I have been using the product for five years.  I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. I would rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten.…

Collaborating in hybrid incident calls has become faster while the meeting interface still needs fixes
The best features are the ability to schedule meetings and launch ad hoc meetings. Additionally, we can create breakout rooms within the meeting itself, which is another excellent feature. Whenever we have production issues, many teams join a single Webex call. Sometimes we need to group together as separate smaller groups and work in parallel to identify the production issues. In those cases, we create Webex breakout rooms and each member joins the corresponding breakout session to progress on their task. Webex helps significantly in the hybrid environment. When we are working from home, it is very easy for us to meet with other team members and the management to get in touch and progress. Webex improves communication because even if we are working from home, we can connect with people and talk to them on a video call. It has improved the incident resolution time by getting into a call in Webex rooms and remediating the issues together as soon as possible. Audio and video quality is excellent for Webex. It has saved considerable time in terms of incident remediation. Whenever we have issues, we jump on a call and work together in parallel. This approach saves time and improves efficiency.
