We are using the latest version for Mac.
We primarily use the solution for meetings with coworkers.

We primarily use the solution for meetings with coworkers.
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.
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.
To be sure, the solution is stable.
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.
We receive good technical support from Cisco.
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.
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.
When it comes to the deployment and maintenance, there are a couple field agents who are responsible for this.
I cannot say for certain whether we have seen an ROI, return on our investment.
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.
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.
We use Cisco Webex for meetings. And we have different packages for that. It can also be integrated with Teams.
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.
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.
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.
The solution is very scalable. You can have at least 100 people on a conference call.
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.
Our company does provide installation, and once the tech is on site, they can help you with most issues while they're there.
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.
I am using Webex for virtual meetings.
I have been using Webex for approximately two years.
The solution at times is not stable.
The scalability is not that good. If we small group meeting the solution is good, but if there is a large group of people to join the meeting then the network seems unstable.
We have approximately 1,000 users using this solution which consists of managers and officers.
I have previously used Zoom and Microsoft Teams. We switched to Webex because they had some local support here in Hong Kong.
The installation of Webex is simple. You only need to click an executable file to run it. it is very easy.
We did the installation of the solution.
We have one engineer that supports this solution.
We have received a return on investment. The solution has been useful for our organization.
There is a subscription needed to use this solution and we pay approximately $5,000 per year.
I would recommend this solution for small group meetings.
I rate Webex a seven out of ten.
I use this tool to communicate with my team. I have a developer team, so I use this tool to communicate with them. We use both the chat and the video conferencing system on our computers.
The noise cancellation feature is great. When you have a call, the noise cancellation during it is really good. It's the best one if you're looking for that specific feature. We haven't tried Zoom, however, compared to Microsoft Teams, WebEx is a lot better.
The initial setup is really easy.
The solution has been very stable.
The scalability is quite good.
If you decide to use the paid version, you can have the scheduler and the meeting portal all on the same platform.
The main issue is the performance in relation to the operating system. The base application uses a lot of resources. They could work on the performance of the application so that it's less heavy.
There are sometimes a lot of updates, however, we find the solution to be very stable right now. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.
You can scale the solution if you need to. It's not a problem.
Right now, we have ten users that are connected to the solution.
Our team is using it all the time. Everyone on the team works remotely; it's our main engagement channel.
As we grow our company, we'll likely increase usage.
As I am leveraging the free version, I haven't used the support.
I also use Microsoft Teams. I use both right now.
We used Microsoft Teams, however, we changed to WebEx as the main channel due to the noise cancellation that wasn't good enough on Teams. Also, Microsoft Teams used a lot of resources on the operating system - so much so that the computer started to go slow when we used the application.
I simply downloaded the solution from Cisco's web page.
The implementation is really easy. The difficult part is understanding the free version from the other plan that has a cost. At the first, they didn't have an online purchase of that version, so you have to contact a partner in order to buy the install. It's a bit confusing between both versions, the free and the paid version.
The solution does not require any maintenance.
I use the free version of the solution. I don't pay for licensing at this time.
We did try Zoom, however, you could only use it for 40 minutes, and that wasn't enough time for us.
I'm just a customer and an end-user.
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I'd recommend it to others. It's a good tool.
My primary use case of Webex was virtual meetings. Recordings would go to the cloud, and since it was cloud-based, I used the latest version of Webex.
One of the most valuable features of Webex was that it was easy to use and there were no hassles.
Webex could be improved by having a password-protected system. I don't remember there being any passwords for the meetings, but, presently, Zoom has meeting protection.
I used Webex from the time I joined my organization, in 2016, until 2019.
Webex is stable. Comparatively, it is much better—I've had no issues.
This solution is scalable. In my organization, Webex has been replaced by Zoom, so that's what everyone uses.
I did not face any issues, so I never contacted technical support. The only issue I faced was the safety aspect, on a personal basis, but besides that I didn't face any issues.
Webex was installed by the respective department in my organization's system.
I implemented through an in-house team.
My organization took care of the licensing. I'm guessing they did some subscription cycle, but I used the free version.
We have switched to using Zoom. Compared to Webex, Zoom is much more upgraded, but not as easy to use. The only thing about Webex is we didn't have any password features and all that, which we do have in Zoom. If you compare Webex and Zoom, both are good in their own rights.
Zoom's installation was easy—I did it myself and it took probably five minutes. I use Zoom for personal purposes as well as in my company. My personal one is unlicensed and just for meetings that are 15-20 minutes long. My company's version was installed by them, so I'm not sure whether it's an enterprise or free version of a license. There are over 10,000 people in my organization who use Zoom.
According to some articles I read in regards to Zoom, if I'm using it for personal purposes, it does take data. When I read the privacy policies and the terms and conditions, it takes all the data from your mobile or the laptop that you're using. So there is a threat, when you're using it for personal requirements, that it can take your data: the contact details, photos, even your bank details if you keep it on your mobile. So on a personal note, I won't use it. I have it installed, but only because of my organization's requirements. But if it's for a personal thing, no.
I rate Webex a seven out of ten. I think I would recommend Webex to others, but password protection needs to be added.
We only use the solution for virtual meetings.
The stability, as well as the performance of the solution, are very good.
What we have seen from, for example, Google Meet, is that there is some kind of disruption or some issues which we have been facing. However, with WebEx, we have not faced any kind of issue.
The product is quite secure. Other products, such as Zoom, have had security issues raised in the media. With WebEx, we are assured our internal meetings are protected.
The interface could be a bit more user-friendly.
We first had it installed with the pandemic started. We've been using it since around 2020.
The product is quite stable and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
We have our own internal support. We have one manager and four or five engineers who basically handle all issues. I don't directly deal with the troubleshooting and cannot speak to the process.
I'm also familiar with Zoom and Google Meet. We use these as well as WebEx. In fact, before we started using WebEx, we used Google Meet specifically.
Prior to that, we had more physical, in-person meetings, however, the pandemic has changed how we do meetings now, and we do much more virtual meetings.
WebEx is more secure than, for example, Zoom.
As a cloud-based solution, the initial implementation is quite simple and straightforward. It's not complete or difficult at all. There is no physical installation required.
We're using the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the exact version number.
I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pretty happy with its capabilities overall.
I would definitely recommend the solution to other users and organizations.
We use Webex for virtual meetings.
The GUI is nice and easy to operate.
It should be more integrated with third-party vendors.
I have been working with Webex off and on for a couple of years.
We are using the latest version.
Webex is a stable product.
I have never needed to contact Webex technical support.
We also use Skype when Webex is not required.
We have recently upgraded to Teams.
The initial setup is similar to Zoom. It is straightforward and easy to install.
The installation takes less than 10 minutes.
There are no licensing fees.
I would recommend this solution to others.
I would rate Webex a nine out of ten.
The vendor who supports me uses Webex for technical support. They set up Webex, and we are able to connect with each other. Some people use Webex to do sales pitch presentations for various solutions. They send me a Webex link, and I can join and have our conversation.
Webex is a collaboration tool that helps you with remote support and collaboration.
The solution's initial setup process is lengthy. The tool takes a bit of time to download. When you are at the tail end of starting up a meeting, installing Webex will delay you.
The solution's stability is great during meetings unless there are network fluctuations, in which case you start having the usual problems.
The solution needs to make the installer packages lighter. This would reduce the turnaround time to download, which would speed up the installation.
The solution's video conferencing quality is great, and I rate it a seven out of ten.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
We use the solution to hold conferences with customers.
The important feature is breakout sessions. We can create a breakout session if we want to hold a conference and make a room only for some people at the meeting.
The solution could make it easier to share the files with the customer.
I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.
Technical support is good.
Positive
I have used Microsoft Team before. I prefer Microsoft settings because we can create and use Microsoft online. It's easier to share the files with the customer.
The initial setup is easy.
I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.
Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
I use the solution in my company to call our clients and manage areas such as business collaborations and webinars.
The most valuable features of the solution revolve around stability and performance. The average networking speed offered by the product is good.
Some concerns are raised by the company's team when it comes to the screen portion of the tool. There is a need to hire engineers to deal with the aforementioned issue.
I have experience with Webex.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
The team of administrators in my company deals with the company's support team.
One person can handle the product's initial setup phase. The initial setup phase doesn't require much time.
Mostly, I use Webex Client. I downloaded the solution from Webex's site. In general, I use Webex Enterprise Edition.
There is a need to pay the licensing charges to use Webex Enterprise Edition.
The product has simplified the remote work in our company, especially when we have to have client meetings and there is a need to add our internal team members who are working remotely.
The video quality, screen, and interface offered by the product are good.
From my side, I would recommend the product to others.
The product's security features seem good, but I don't know much about them.
The conference quality offered by the tool is good.
I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.
