Webex Reviews

I think Webex could be improved by simplifying the process. For instance, they could make it easier to join meetings by providing a direct meeting link without requiring sign-ups or logins. While security is important, finding a balance with user-friendliness is key.

I've used Webex for about two or three years, mainly for Cisco training sessions. After that, I haven't used Webex much. However, I've been using Zoom more recently for my online classes with students.

The solution's stability depends on the company. 

I would rate the tool's scalability a five out of ten. It might be more scalable for larger companies with specific needs. My company had ten users as part of the training. 

I haven't contacted the tool's technical support yet. 

Webex can be complicated compared to Zoom, especially regarding security settings. With Zoom, users need a meeting ID and password to join, making it more straightforward. While both platforms offer secure connections, Webex may feel more rigid and less user-friendly, especially for non-technical users. However, Webex has been updated recently so that improvements may have been made.

Setting up the tool on my computer wasn't too difficult, but it wasn't as straightforward as Zoom. I had to install the Webex application and navigate through the interface, which felt a bit more complex, especially for business settings.

During Cisco training sessions, I found Webex effective in improving productivity. I benefited from the training. However, I can't speak for others using Webex for daily work or jobs. 

The Webex security features are good because you must log in before joining a meeting. However, it's a bit less convenient than Zoom, where you need a link to join.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten. 

In our company, we had to increase the usage of Webex after we found out that when we were using Cisco's teleconference software, external users could not join meetings. When I create a meeting in Webex, my company can hold meetings and use teleconference software.

From an improvement perspective, Webex should be able to have recording features.

From an improvement perspective, it should be possible to integrate Webex with other platforms.

The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.

I have experience with Webex for years.

It is a very stable solution. I rate the solution's stability a six out of ten.

It is an easily scalable solution.

I don't know how many people in my company use the product. I conduct most of the meetings with the help of the tool for around 50 to 100 users. I also need to consider how some people prefer Zoom while others prefer Webex.

The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The solution can be deployed once a user downloads, installs, takes care of the setup of a meeting, and then arranges for a device to attend it.

The solution can be deployed in less than ten minutes.

The product can be deployed with the help of the company's in-house team.

The product is worth the investment since it helps our company to hold meetings and other business-related sessions for people to attend. In my opinion, the ROI of the product is fine.

There is a need to buy a subscription-based license to use the product. You need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges of the product. You need to opt for a subscription-based licensing model for your organization. The product is a bit expensive.

In our company's day-to-day business operation, we use Webex to hold our internal meetings and for those who want to join certain meetings remotely. The tool is connected to two offices, the head office and a branch. The teleconference software part of Webex allows external users who need to join a meeting. Sometimes, Zoom or Microsoft Teams can be used as alternatives if there are some stability issues with Webex. One can switch between the options.

Webex has simplified remote work in our company the same way Zoom has helped us. Webex has helped with the meeting part, specifically virtual meetings. It has helped ease business. I also have to ensure that our staff or external execs join Webex sessions without any issues.

Speaking about the most valuable aspect of the product for team collaboration, I find the whiteboards and control or the ability to share, especially when troubleshooting with a remote user, useful. Webex allows its users to easily share screens with other users, so users can look at the screen to see what the other person or user is doing.

I have not tried the integration of Webex with Zoom. If people from Zoom and Webex can join a meeting together there would be a lesser need to set up for a meeting. Anybody with Webex or Microsoft Teams can still join the same meeting that has been set up on Zoom. The ability to join a meeting should not depend on which application one uses.

The video quality of the product is good. There has been a lot of improvement in the tool's video quality.

I think the tool has security features because most of the calls on it are encrypted, so you can be sure that nobody is trying to listen or eavesdrop on the different sessions you have on the product. Depending on how a host o has set up the meeting, others can join and connect easily. When you closely look at the sessions in the tool, I think the tool has improved, and everything seems fine.

I suggest others start using the product since they can see added features in the product over a period of time. I recommended the product to those who plan to use it.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

The transcripts from Webex calls get delivered to the inbox five minutes after the call. However, out of 20 people on a call, maybe only one person bothers to read through the entire transcript, which can be lengthy for an hour-long call.

Although we utilize it for team collaboration, it's not very efficient. Most people don't bother turning on their video during meetings. We feel stuck in the past, relying on outdated technology.

We had 20 people on a call, and whenever someone wanted to use the chat, they struggled to find the button. It was like a constant hunt for the chat feature, especially when you're presenting. It could feel quite desperate at times.

I haven't used Webex's file-sharing and messaging features much. Our work involves sensitive information, so we rely on other platforms for file sharing. However, Teams is an exception, where we occasionally share files and information, mainly through the chat function. I rate the overall product a two out of ten. 

The most valuable feature of the solution is the appointment scheduler that sends messages and communicates the meeting time to the parties involved in the meeting. Webex's share control feature is also good.

The accessibility of the share screen option provided by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.

I have been using Webex for the past nine months. I am a user of the product.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

There are 15,000 to 25,000 uses of the product in my company.

Webex is used once a week in my company. Most of our company's customers prefer Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.

I hardly have experience with the solution's technical support. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

My company has experience with other solutions, but we switched to Webex since it provides an appointment scheduler compatible with Cisco solutions.

I rate the product's setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means it is a difficult process and ten means it is an easy process.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

I was involved in the deployment of the product in my company.

Our company prefers to use IBM Video Streaming and Zoom to handle large-scale virtual events or webinars. For large-scale events, I do not use Webex.

For daily team collaboration in my company, we don't use Webex since we have a product named Slack.

I cannot comment on the video quality offered by the product since I am not very aware of it.

The unique integrations offered by the product include the appointment scheduler. The appointment scheduler is a good option because it schedules meetings. The tool also integrates with the CASE command and updates the calendar and Salesforce tool. The integration with the calendar looks fine.

I rate the ability of the product's security and privacy features to meet our organization's requirements as a ten out of ten.

I recommend the product to those who want a product that could help them with their communication and collaboration needs.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

We use Webex to connect with other people. We also use it for external training purposes.

It enhanced productivity and business efficiency.

It is highly recommended for remote connecting within and outside organisation.

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.

Currently, I'm unable to find any loophole in Webex, but in terms of areas for improvement, it would be better if a user is informed about any new updates or new features added to the tool.

I've been using Webex since 2015. I used it initially in my previous company until 2020, then I joined my current company, and the tool is still being used here.

Webex is a stable tool.

Webex is a scalable tool.

It's our IT team who contacts the Webex technical support team and we're getting good support from our IT team, so this directly implies that Webex offers good technical support.

Positive

Webex is very easy to set up, and any person can use it, as it has a user-friendly interface.

I don't have information on Webex pricing because I'm just a user, and I wasn't involved in purchasing the product, but from 2015 to 2020, in my previous company, I used the paid version of the tool, but today, in my current company, it's the free version of Webex that's being used.

I evaluated Teams and Skype apart from Webex.

Webex is deployed on the private cloud and my company uses it to connect with people remotely, whether it's a company employee, a training provider, or a third party such as a customer.

Approximately five hundred people use the tool in my company.

The advice I would give to others looking to start using WebEx is to go for it because it is a versatile tool that connects you with another person easily, remotely. It's also a very user-friendly tool and there's no issue in terms of setting up and accessing WebEx, so overall, I can tell people to go ahead and buy it.

My rating for Webex is eight out of ten.

We use the tool for internal and client meetings, webinars, and presentations. 

The tool simplifies our work by allowing us to have hybrid meetings instead of always meeting in person, which saves time in organizing these meetings. It also offers good video quality.

Webex helps to prevent unwanted guests from popping up in your meeting. 
The video quality is fine, and I wouldn't expect it to be better. I'm not sure about the computing resources required to optimize the video delivery, though.

On Webex, I find the option to capture the talking points of each participant valuable. Also, features like adding emojis during live presentations help in getting live feedback from participants.

The security features are quite robust because they allow you only to permit entry from participants authorized by the organizer.

The product needs to improve its integration.  I'm not sure how difficult it is for the IT team to set up the integration. Once set up, it's easy but still not as straightforward as other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, where everything is within the same technical environment. To ensure further security, face authentication should also be added for all internal corporate users logged into the platform.

I have been using the product for a few years. 

Webex is stable. 

The tool is scalable since it can support big audiences. My company has 30 users, but I've worked in previous corporations where we had tens of thousands of users.

The tool's deployment is complex compared to other platforms. It needs to be more user-friendly in this area. It took about 10-15 minutes to complete. 

As a user, the corporation may need an integrator to configure the setup.

The tool's licensing is expensive, but it should be cheaper. 

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. 

I use the solution in my company for internal meetings, technical discussions, and knowledge transfer sessions.

The product offers a whiteboard feature, which you can use in meetings to provide explanations. Even in a remote place, if my company is showing someone a complex web application, we can just point out the exact options in the menu bar from our side. If you are sharing the screen and you are unable to find a particular menu from our company's side, we can just use a marker and tick it to tell them the spot they need to check. The tool's support features are very beneficial to customers.

All the features are not enabled in the web mode of the product. From an improvement perspective, all the features need to be enabled in the web mode instead of asking users to install the application.

I have been using Webex for three to four years.

The company did not experience any lags in terms of the product's stability and performance. Stability-wise, I rate the solution between eight and nine out of ten.

To be able to use some of the features provided by the product, a user gets forced to install the application. If you are a host of a meeting and you send me an invite to attend it, after which, if I join it via the web, I would be unable to use many of the product's features, like the sharing of screens. I am forced to install the application to use the features of the product. The entire feature set of the tool is not available in the web mode.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Around 20 people in my company use the product. The product is mostly used by technical people who need to present something in meetings and the other top management personnel who conduct meetings with internal and external stakeholders. Only the host or presenter of the meeting would have the tool's account.

The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.

The solution can be deployed in a few minutes.

It is a user-friendly tool. Even if you share the link to a meeting with Webex with some ex-users of the tool, it is still easy for them to join the meeting via its website without having to install the application.

The product has helped simplify the area of remote work in my company.

For team collaboration, the product provides a good experience for our company.

The video, sound, and conferencing quality offered by the product are good.

At my company, we have a touchpad set up in our boardroom, so connecting to meetings via Webex is easy.

From a technical perspective, I recommend the product to others. From a cost-based perspective, I am not sure if I would recommend the product to others since I don't know whether Teams, Zoom, or Webex are low-price options.

With the features of the product that I have used so far, I can say that the integration capabilities of the tool are good.

The product's security features are good.

I rate the tool an eight to nine out of ten.

Webex greatly improves our team's collaboration by being our main communication tool and meeting platform, helping us work effectively regardless of location.

The chat and meeting scheduling features in Webex are most valuable for our team's productivity. The video quality during remote meetings is quite good, enhancing our communication and collaboration.

There is room for improvement in the chat history and search functionality in Webex, making it easier to find past conversations and commands by keywords.

I have been using Webex for about three years.

I would rate the stability of Webex as a ten out of ten.

Around 1,000 users in our company use Webex. I find it easy to scale since we have been able to scale it smoothly as our usage increases.

I prefer Teams over Webex because it integrates better with the other tools we use. In terms of features and functionalities, they are similar, as far as I know.

I would rate the Webex user interface and ease of use at around seven out of ten in terms of complexity.

Overall, I would rate Webex as an eight out of ten. It is a great product.
