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.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

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

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

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Easy to manage, and install, but the performance is not always good
Pros and Cons
  • "The installation was straightforward."
  • "The performance is not always good and could be improved."

When clients arrive, some people use Webex, others use Teams, and still, others use Zoom.

The performance is not always good and could be improved.

I have been working with Webex for three years, and have used it within the last year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Webex's stability is adequate.

We don't have any issues with Webex's scalability, but we don't scale very much.

Technical support is handled by another team in the organization.

The installation was straightforward.

Only one person is required to maintain this solution.

One aspect we like most is that the audio is clear
Pros and Cons
  • "WebEx provides the option to record the chat or delete it. You can also dial into the video on your mobile to communicate with the engineer or whoever. One aspect we like most is that the audio is clear. That is one of the most valuable features of WebEx."
  • "I would like it if Webex's mobile interface had all the same application integration as the desktop. Maybe the applications work on mobile as well, but we have not tried it yet."

What is our primary use case?

We use Webex to provide remote support and OEM access if we have any problems.

What is most valuable?

WebEx provides the option to record the chat or delete it. You can also dial into the video on your mobile to communicate with the engineer or whoever. One aspect we like most is that the audio is clear. That is one of the most valuable features of WebEx.

What needs improvement?

I would like it if Webex's mobile interface had all the same application integration as the desktop. Maybe the applications work on mobile as well, but we have not tried it yet.

For how long have I used the solution?

We started using Webex in 2019, so we've been using it for about two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In the time that we've been using Webex, we haven't seen any jerking or lag on in the remote sessions. The performance is smooth compared to other third-party applications. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We don't need to scale Webex because I work in a data center. We don't have many people working at the same time, and we're working in shifts, so 10 people clock in, and 10 clock out. That means we only need 10 licenses.

How are customer service and support?

Cisco support is great. 

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

We tried Zoom, Team Viewer, and another solution. We prefer Webex because it works well on the web application compared to others. 

How was the initial setup?

Installing Webex is simple. It doesn't take more than half an hour or 45 minutes tops, and there is no maintenance after installation.  

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

Features matter more than the price for us. As long as we get all the features we want and it fits our budget, then the price doesn't matter. I can't speak for other companies. We have tried other applications, and we run into some problems that we don't see in Webex. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Webex 10 out of 10. We've recommended it to many of the companies we work with. Two or three out of 10 have gone with Webex. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Virtual meeting, video conferencing, and collaboration tool which offers easy setup and deployment, ease of use, and top-notch support
Pros and Cons
  • "Stable and scalable solution for video conferencing, virtual meetings, and collaboration, with top-notch technical support."
  • "There were some latency issues that could have been addressed if they had a data center in our location, e.g. the African region."

What is most valuable?

One of the best things about Webex which I liked was that it was simple and to the point. It separated its video conferencing capabilities from other extra capabilities, so you had two different products for the virtual meetings and for collaboration. This separation, these different products, made it easy to do what you wanted to do, and to get to the point of what you wanted to do.

What needs improvement?

The only reason why we could not stay with Webex was because they didn't have a data center in the African region. There were latency issues as well, so we couldn't continue using the tool. These are its areas for improvement. Other than these issues, there's no other area for improvement, because Webex is good the way it is.

Having a data center in the African region will help improve the latency issues, without incurring additional costs. There is a way that you can improve the latency issues, but you have to buy hardware from Cisco to put into your data center. Not a lot of companies would like to do that.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used Webex a year ago, for six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We found the stability of this solution satisfying.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We were satisfied with the scalability of Webex.

How are customer service and support?

My rating for Cisco tech support is ten out of ten. Bruno, who handled our issues, was top-notch. Anything we needed, Bruno was on top of it. He was top-notch, so 100%, it's a ten out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup and deployment of Webex was easy and straightforward. It was on point, and there were no issues.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated Microsoft Teams.

What other advice do I have?

We used an open-source license for Webex.

We had 2,500 users of Webex. The meetings we had using it had a maximum of 2,500 users.

I'm rating Webex a ten out of ten, functionality-wise.

A video conferencing solution that can accomodate a large number of users
Pros and Cons
  • "I like that it can accommodate larger groups of listeners. I think in my client's organization, they use Webex for meetings with a larger group of listeners. I believe Skype For Business is not preferred. I think they use Webex or their own custom platform because it accommodates more users in one meeting."
  • "It would be better if it were more secure. I do expect Webex to keep up with hackers and their latest techniques."

What is our primary use case?

We use Webex for meetings. I get a meeting link, log in, and follow it. If a client update comes through, I follow the updates or postpone it for a day because I'm very busy. But otherwise, I simply follow the updates.

My company is a one-woman company, and I use it when working for a client and on a personal basis. I sometimes use Skype or a video call on WhatsApp, but that's not really a meeting platform. Those are then personal video calls.

What is most valuable?

I like that it can accommodate larger groups of listeners. I think in my client's organization, they use Webex for meetings with a larger group of listeners. I believe Skype For Business is not preferred. I think they use Webex or their own custom platform because it accommodates more users in one meeting

What needs improvement?

It would be better if it were more secure. I do expect Webex to keep up with hackers and their latest techniques.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been regularly using Webex for six or eight months.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Webex seems like a scalable solution. I have attended meetings with hundreds of users or hundreds of listeners. But I haven't had meetings with thousands of users in one session. Large meetings have a practical problem as people want a chance to say what they want to say, but that's an organizational thing and not a technical thing.

How was the initial setup?

For me, the initial setup was very straightforward. I have been a software developer in the past, so give me software, and I will install it and use it. 

What about the implementation team?

I implemented this solution.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Webex an eight.

A thin client with a good interface that is easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "Webex is a thin client and we like the interface. It is easy to use."
  • "I would like to see additional online chat capabilities"

What is our primary use case?

We were using Webex to meet with clients and also for internal consumption within the company.

What is most valuable?

Webex is a thin client and we like the interface. It is easy to use.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see additional online chat capabilities. You had to launch the app pretty much all of the time. These are areas where Webex can do a little better.

It could be easier to integrate with Calendar.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not experienced any bugs, glitches, or connection problems.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Prior to transitioning to teams, we had between 120,000 and 150,000 users.

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

We made the transition from Webex to Microsoft Teams and now use Teams for the most part.

The reason that we moved is that we're a Microsoft shop and we have a relationship with them. Microsoft is a diamond partner whereas Cisco is a gold partner.

We have seen this as a general pattern, where people move away from WebEx into either Teams or other collaboration tools. Webex is in the cloud but if they had more economical options, or any additional features compared to Teams and other products, it might be a value add.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was okay.

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

This is an expensive product compared to Teams and it should be cheaper.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, we were really happy with it but decided to leverage Teams instead.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
