A stable and scalable solution with good tech support that has the hardware and camera features to track one's movements
Pros and Cons
  • "The camera moves in tandem with the person who is using it to communicate with the other participants."
  • "The interconnectivity of all of the solution's facilities and functions can be more complex than that which is involved in basic configuration, when equipment, telephone extensions or other mobile apps are thrown into the mix."

What is our primary use case?

We are using the latest version for Mac.

We primarily use the solution for meetings with coworkers. 

What is most valuable?

When the solution is used comprehensively, the hardware and camera features combine to make it better than all others I have encountered. This is because the camera moves in tandem with the person who is using it to communicate with the other participants. 

This is one of the solution's best features. I have not encountered such features with Zoom, which are essentially involve one-on-one meetings. Webex has the hardware to allow for this. 

What needs improvement?

The price should be improved significantly. The software, licenses and hardware combine to make the solution extremely expensive. 

The interconnectivity of all of the solution's facilities and functions can be more complex than that which is involved in basic configuration, when equipment, telephone extensions or other mobile apps are thrown into the mix. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

To be sure, the solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is certainly scalable. A feature we were lacking in Mexico involved the capability to interconnect with the local telephone companies. We are talking about the prospect of increasing the usage. During this year and last, we increased the use of any kind of non-contact communication using Webex or Zoom, the latter being preferred by some our customers who have Zoom implemented it in their companies - the reason we utilize it. However, for internal use, we exclusively utilize Webex. 

How are customer service and support?

We receive good technical support from Cisco. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have been using Webex since I first entered the company in 2012 or 2013, as the company places a premium on fiscal solutions. It is for this reason that it adopted this technology from the outset. 

The solution combines its hardware and camera features to give it a superior edge over all others, with the camera moving in pace with the person who is communicating with other participants. I consider this to be the solution's most valuable feature and have not encountered it with Zoom, which is basically geared towards one-on-one meetings. 

How was the initial setup?

The difficulty involved in the initial setup can vary. The solution is easy to configure for basic use, such as one-on-one meetings or those involving multiple parties. It is more difficult to interconnect all the facilities and functions when one adds equipment and telephone extensions or other mobile apps. 

While I do not recall how long the deployment took, the configuration of all of the functions lasted two or three days. However, there is a need to be certified by Cisco, Webex and IP telephony for this solution. 

What about the implementation team?

When it comes to the deployment and maintenance, there are a couple field agents who are responsible for this. 

What was our ROI?

I cannot say for certain whether we have seen an ROI, return on our investment. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I find the solution to be very expensive. The software, licensing and hardware add up significantly. 

I do not have the licensing figures offhand, but the prices vary with the features one wishes to add to the license. There exists the option of a free license for one-on-one or one-on-two video calls, but adding more people requires one to upgrade his license. 

The licensing fees vary with the features one utilizes, web or call conferencing incurring a basic licensing fee. An upgraded license is required if one wishes to add a mobile app or conference. There is, yet, a separate license for integrating one's computer, cell, office or desk phone. We are talking about a sort of unit for each of the features, different licensing fees applying for those which are basic, intermediate and complete. I believe these range from $120-$130 up to $700. 

What other advice do I have?

I feel the solution to be very complete. 

I am a Webex customer. 

While there are 20 to 25 people making use of the solution in our organization, we also use it with another company of ours which has implemented it and this places the number in the company at around 25 to 30 people. 

Each person has a different role and is dispersed in a disparate location in the north and center of Mexico. 

I would consider the move from on-premises to cloud-based implementation to be a positive step. This makes the solution a good instrument in such countries as the United States, the UK and Germany, where there is much integration with the local cell or telephone companies. We are talking about a good investment, as it allows one to integrate his office or home phones with the solution. 

I rate Webex as a nine out of ten.

Useful for virtual meetings, but stability needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "A valuable feature of Webex is that it's useful for virtual meetings and similar webinars."
  • "Webex's stability could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case of Webex is virtual conferences. 

Webex is cloud-based. 

What is most valuable?

A valuable feature of Webex is that it's useful for virtual meetings and similar webinars. 

What needs improvement?

Webex's stability could be improved. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for more than six years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Webex should be more stable. I have had some problems with connection, and it can be complicated in some areas. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation is straightforward, but it can be tricky parts when opening a session on your mobile phone or laptop. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Webex is expensive, especially compared to Zoom or Google. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Zoom or Google could be good solutions for medium-sized or cost-conscious companies. However, not every country in the world can use all software—in some countries you cannot use Google, in some you cannot use Webex. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Webex a seven out of ten. Whether I would recommend Webex to others depends on the size and policy of a company. If they decide that they want to have an image or a reputation to show that they are a big corporation, and use a high brand product, they could use Webex. However, if they're just a medium company and very cost-conscious, then there are other options. It really depends on the image of your company, as well as your network condition.
