Team members do not need to use public solutions to collaborate on complex projects, share files and screens.

The best feature is to be able to share the screen or just some application we want, even a video or audio, then request the remote control of the device with which they have connected.

They have a feature called Call Me in which I need to type in my phone number and I can get a conference room to call my number rather than needing to dial in every time. I think that's a quite good feature.

What we like about Webex is that it is a hosted solution, so there is no demand for us to invest in hardware, skill, or manpower to maintain our cloud meeting capability.

The ability to join by phone is the most valuable feature. I also think that it's much simpler to use and it's a Cisco product so I think it's the industry standard.

I would like for them to include a collaboration tool so that you can directly do a video call or audio call to your colleagues or anyone in the office.

My company does a lot of international calls. For some countries they do not have their local number to call in, all they have is a 1-800 number which is quite hard to find. If they want to improve they should set up the local number to call in. What would be beneficial.

The UX should be more user-friendly. I know others don't like the UX because it's a little complicated to use.

The connectivity can be improved because sometimes when we talk to clients that are overseas the connection is kind of poor. The video will be pixelated and we will need to turn off the video because the voice gets delayed.

We have had issues where some of the invited participants are not able to join the meeting.

This solution would be much better if we could install an endpoint and have centralized management.
