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.

The primary use case is for video conferencing.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are video conferencing, the integration with Outlook, and scheduling meetings. These features work well.

What needs improvement?

There are too many issues with getting people connected to meetings.

Reliability and consistency need improvement.

I would like to see support for connecting with customers who don't have Webex installed and to improve the audio quality.

I have been using Webex for a couple of years, using the most up-to-date version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Losing ground to competitors, could be more user-friendly
Pros and Cons
    • "The WebEx interface is not as user-friendly as Zoom's. There is room for improvement there."

    What needs improvement?

    The WebEx interface is not as user-friendly as Zoom's. There is room for improvement there. I ran into some connectivity issues with WebEx in previous versions but those have been fixed now. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I do not use it as much as I used to. WebEx seems to be losing ground to competitors like Zoom. At least this is the case in my environment.

      Offers many features, is flexible, and can be configured in multiple ways
      Pros and Cons
      • "You can configure whatever you want in great detail."
      • "They should work to make it simpler."

      What is our primary use case?

      Whenever I try to use it, whenever I plan a meeting, I visit the website and set it up. We use it primarily for meetings. 

      What is most valuable?

      The solution has many features. For example, it has more features than Zoom, which we also use.

      You can configure whatever you want in great detail. It's very flexible.

      The solution scales well.

      What needs improvement?

      It's a bit complex. There's more complexity involved than with, for example, Zoom. The extra features it offers makes everything just a little bit more confusing. They should work to make it simpler. 

      The initial setup can be a bit difficult.

      The stability needs to be better.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      We've been using the solution for almost two years now. We've been using it since the beginning of the pandemic.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      I wouldn't describe it as stable. I've had issues with it in the past.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      In terms of scalability, you can install it to every client and you can invite hundreds of people into one meeting. The scalability is high and very good.

      Thousands of people use the solution in our organization. It's used at all levels from management down.

      I'm not sure if there are plans to increase usage or not. 

      How are customer service and support?

      I've never actually dealt with technical support and therefore cannot comment on their service level. Whenever I have issues, I reach out to my internal IT team. They may have contacted WebEx at some point, however, I can't say for certain that's the case. 

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

      We also use a solution called Jabber, which can communicate with Cisco. I also use Zoom.

      How was the initial setup?

      The initial setup is a bit more difficult than, for example, Zoom, which is quite straightforward. 

      There is just one person needed to install and maintain the product. 

      What about the implementation team?

      I tried to install it myself, however, ultimately, I needed to get help from our system admins. 

      What other advice do I have?

      We are a Cisco partner. We're also customers. 

      I would recommend the product to others.

      I'd rate it at an eight out of ten.

      Beneficial remote troubleshooting, simple installation, but lacking collaboration
      Pros and Cons
      • "The installation is not difficult."
      • "The collaborative features could improve in Webex. There should not be the typical one on one connection that we have had in the past."

      What is our primary use case?

      We use Webex for end-user support purposes whenever there requires troubleshooting. For example, if we want to connect to America or Europe or a different country for the support we can.

      What needs improvement?

      The collaborative features could improve in Webex. There should not be the typical one on one connection that we have had in the past.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Webex for approximately 15 years.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      I have found Webex to be stable.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      Webex is scalable. 

      I have noticed a decrease in the usage of this solution in our organization. We have approximately 10 people who are using this solution in my organization.

      How was the initial setup?

      The installation is not difficult.

      What about the implementation team?

      I am able to do the installation myself.

      What other advice do I have?

      I rate Webex a seven out of ten.
