Helps to collaborate with team in real-time, share screens, and use a whiteboard
Pros and Cons
- "Webex helps us collaborate better. We can work with customers and our team in real-time, share screens, and use a whiteboard. It's been really helpful."
What is most valuable?
Webex helps us collaborate better. We can work with customers and our team in real-time, share screens, and use a whiteboard. It's been really helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for two to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the product's scalability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. Our organization uses Webex, and its users include project managers, development team leads, and consultants like myself.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted the technical support yet.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used GoTo Meeting before Webex. I do have confidence in Cisco technology since we've used Cisco switches and support in the past, so Webex, being from Cisco, seems promising.
How was the initial setup?
I would rate my experience with the initial setup as a nine out of ten. It was very easy and straightforward, and I've always had a good experience with it.
Webex is deployed in our organization primarily for consultants and teams. Whenever a customer requires us to discuss certain products or topics, we use the tool to facilitate those discussions and bring everyone together for meetings.
The deployment is quick. We download it from the web, install it, and start using it. There's no extensive company-wide deployment of the tool in our organization. It's primarily used by consultants engaging with customers who prefer Webex for meetings. I've never initiated a Webex meeting myself. Typically, it takes less than five minutes from downloading to join a meeting.
What other advice do I have?
I've been using Webex to meet customer requirements. I tend to use Zoom for team-related activities. However, if the customer prefers Webex, Zoom, or Teams, we adapt accordingly.
I'm using a hybrid setup, including on-premises and hybrid cloud environments. Our approach is driven by customer requirements because we prioritize serving our customers. We support platforms like Azure, AWS, and private or hybrid cloud, including on-premises deployments.
I rate the product a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud

The solution is heavy and takes too much time to open, though it is useful for communication

We use the solution for voice calls, desktop sharing, and sharing drawings or texts for presentations.
What is most valuable?
The solution is useful for communication. It provides the basic features available in other products.

I rate the stability a five out of ten.

Secure, and easy to use, but the joining process should be simplified
Pros and Cons
- "It is user-friendly."
- "I think it's very inconvenient to have to enter my email address all the time just to be a visitor."
What is our primary use case?
Webex is used for video communication and video calls.
What is most valuable?
I am satisfied with the performance of Webex.
The user interface is fine for me. It is user-friendly.
I don't have an issue with the security.
What needs improvement?
I think it's very inconvenient to have to enter my email address all the time just to be a visitor.
I didn't log in because I just attended a meeting that my manager scheduled for me and I had to retype my email address, and I believe that I should be able to click a button as a visitor. I shouldn't have to enter my email address again and again.
It should be easier to join a meeting.
For how long have I used the solution?
I started using Webex after I joined my company, and my company also uses Webex. I have been using it for one month.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am not aware of the number of users in the company.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, I worked with Google Meets and Zoom.
The issue is that I have no idea which company it is from when I use it.
How was the initial setup?
I was not involved in the installation. It was pre-installed in the company.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
For me, there is no licensing fee.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others, but I'm not sure what its specific advantage is, but I use it smoothly.
I would rate Webex a six out of ten.

Handles present demands while future-proofing your needs
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is very valuable for conference calls, as a lot of businesses are switching from work-from-home."
- "When it was just two people trying to conference, it was easier. But now I see there are times when many people have to be on the call at the same time. That's definitely something that Webex can help with."
What is our primary use case?
We use Cisco Webex for meetings. And we have different packages for that. It can also be integrated with Teams.
How has it helped my organization?
We recently switched over to Webex, and the changes allow us to make conference calls up to 100 members at the same time, depending on the package we go with. It can be done from a desk phone. There is screen sharing, group chat, and all of that included in Webex.
What is most valuable?
The solution is very valuable for conference calls because I see a lot of businesses are switching from work-from-home. When it was just two people trying to conference, it was easier. But now I see there are times when many people have to be on the call at the same time. That's definitely something that Webex can help with. The file-sharing is helpful too, so you aren't emailing all the time. The solution takes care of most of your communication needs.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable. We've used Webex for training before, and we have never had problems. I personally have never had problems using Webex being on those calls, because the best part is that you definitely don't need to have access to internet to attend those calls. Sometimes, if you're on the go, you could simply just dial in and be a part of the meeting as well.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is very scalable. You can have at least 100 people on a conference call.
How was the initial setup?
From what I've heard and from the training we've had, the solution does seem to be very user-friendly. One does not have to be a very high-end IT person to be able to fix these things.
What about the implementation team?
Our company does provide installation, and once the tech is on site, they can help you with most issues while they're there.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. It's definitely something that is future-proofing your needs. I'm not sure how long we'll have this COVID, but this does seem to be a solution that not only handles the present demands, but also something that we would need in the future as well. With so many people working remotely, this definitely makes sense, for most businesses at least.

Easy to install and use, and the remote control features are helpful
Pros and Cons
- "Webex is easy to use, even for people who are just learning it."
- "This solution would be much better if we could install an endpoint and have centralized management."
What is our primary use case?
I use Webex for having meetings in the cloud. For example, sometimes I use it for technical reviews with my team, and sometimes, I used it for education.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the remote control. I can share my screen, or control other PCs, which are very good features. I can do all of this from home without having to travel.
Webex is easy to use, even for people who are just learning it. They can join meetings or share content with the click of a link.
What needs improvement?
This solution would be much better if we could install an endpoint and have centralized management. This would allow me to subscribe, push an endpoint to the client, and then control these points.
I would like to see the inclusion of security agents, for example from McAfee or Symantec, which can scan the communication for threats. This would help avoid problems if a user has malware on their machine. Webex would also be able to scan for malicious files.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Webex for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is very good and Cisco is doing a great job with it. We use it on a regular basis.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This is a scalable product. In the past three years, I have not faced any issues related to scalability.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have been in touch with Cisco support and they are very good. For enterprise-level organizations, I find them very good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have also used GoToMeeting and Zoom. I found that Webex is easier to use than these other products.
How was the initial setup?
This cloud-based solution is very easy to install, with only a single click.
What other advice do I have?
My advice is simply that if this product fits the requirements then people should just start using it. It is very easy to use and can't be complicated, even for non-professional users.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Network Specialist at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Multifeatured virtual meeting and video communication software; runs smoothly and does not cause lag
Pros and Cons
- "Lag-free video communication and virtual meeting software which runs smoothly."
- "There's some difficulty in Webex, particularly when a third party needs access and that third party is not part of the domain of the company, it could be difficult."
What is our primary use case?
I use Webex for meetings. It's useful in virtual meetings. It's a video communication tool.
What is most valuable?
I find Webex to be a good solution. You can share your screen, you can grant control to other meeting participants, you can record, etc. It's okay to use because it does not cause lag, and the video runs smoothly. I'm happy using Webex.
What needs improvement?
I don't have any complaints about Webex. I'm also using Microsoft Teams and they are the same, but there's some difficulty in Webex, particularly when a third party needs access and that third party is not part of the domain of the company, it could be difficult.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Webex for three years. We're using it in the company I work for.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Webex is stable here in Thailand. I have not experienced a frozen screen or interruption when I'm having my meeting on Webex.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of Webex is okay. The biggest meeting I had was with 50 participants, but sometimes, we need to place some of the participants on mute.
How are customer service and support?
There is no issue with Webex technical support, but there's a support issue in the reseller side. From my company's reseller to our customers, there are many Webex cases, but technical support is okay in terms of troubleshooting open cases.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay a yearly license for Webex.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I evaluated Microsoft Teams.
What other advice do I have?
In my company, we use Webex and Microsoft Teams.
There are between 5,000 to 10,000 users of Webex in the company. I'm one of the end users of this solution. 10 people make up the technical team that handles the deployment and maintenance of Webex in my company.
On a scale of zero to ten, with ten being the highest, and zero being the worst, I'm giving this solution a score of nine, and I'm recommending it to others who want to start using it, because Webex is okay in my experience.
I'd say that in zero to ten, I'm recommend in the eight or nine. I think it's okay in my experience, yes.
I'm rating Webex a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
