Telco specialist pre-Sales Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
Impressive streaming quality, reliable, and quick installation
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of Webex are the depth of the tone and the quality of the picture, and I find them better than Teams or Zoom."
- "Everybody these days uses virtual meeting solutions because we're all remote working. It would be a benefit if there were permanent collaboration spaces for projects. For example, the way Teams has its teams folders and shared locations. Webex is missing that feature, or maybe it has it and I'm not aware of it. However, it needs a permanent sharing location for when projects can get stored and can be a collaboration space as opposed to only a meeting space."

Webex is used mainly for virtual meetings.

The stream is very smooth
Pros and Cons
- "The stream is very smooth; that's what I like about Webex, as other video conference solutions like Zoom sometimes freeze and get buggy, but Webex doesn't."

Webex's Bluetooth functionality could be better. For example, I use Webex on my Android mobile phone and connect with Bluetooth. It connects, but I cannot speak through the Bluetooth microphone and earphones with Webex. It's always disabled. I don't know why.

Senior Specialist, e-Transformation Services at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Offers many features, is flexible, and can be configured in multiple ways
Pros and Cons
- "You can configure whatever you want in great detail."
- "The solution has many features, for example, it has more features than Zoom, which we also use, and you can configure whatever you want in great detail, making it very flexible and allowing the solution to scale well."
- "They should work to make it simpler."
- "I wouldn't describe WebEx as stable; I've had issues with it in the past."
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.

Straightforward to access and easy to use but sometimes we have connectivity issues
Pros and Cons
- "We can do the global meeting with this solution."
- "We had a multi-meeting, multi-location connected meeting, and it worked pretty well."
- "Sometimes we've had issues with the connection."

What is most valuable?
It's very easy to access.
It's straightforward to use and navigate around.
We can do the global meeting with this solution.
Once you have an account, you can always set up meetings with people via Outlook. It's very simple. If you need to, you can just simply share the link with the people.
Users can connect from anywhere. If they have internet access or they have a phone, they can join a meeting.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes we've had issues with the connection.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using the solution since that pandemic started. We've used it for a few years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is pretty good. We had a multi-meeting, multi-location connected meeting, and it worked pretty well. We needed help from our IT team to set it up, however, once it has started, it worked well. It didn't crash or freeze. There weren't glitches.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution can scale well and we haven't faced any limitations. We've had a global meeting without issue, for example.
Our entire organization uses the solution. There are thousands of employees.
How are customer service and support?
We normally deal with our own IT team and not outside technical support. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I can't speak to the cost. I don't handle the billing aspects of the solution.

It has a good interface and solid video quality
Pros and Cons
- "I like how Webex lets you zoom in and out on the presenter's screen. It's silly, but all the solutions have the same features, and I think WebEx is the only one that allows zoom."
- "I don't have deep experience with Webex, but it has a good interface and excellent video quality."
- "Webex could add some integration with Microsoft Office or G-Suite."
What is our primary use case?
I mostly use Webex for meetings with our clients and sometimes for interviews.
What is most valuable?
I don't have deep experience with Webex, but it has a good interface and excellent video quality. I like how Webex lets you zoom in and out on the presenter's screen. It's silly, but all the solutions have the same features, and I think WebEx is the only one that allows zoom.
What needs improvement?
Webex could add some integration with Microsoft Office or G-Suite.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Webex is stable and scalable.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We use Teams and Zoom. The official solution at my company is Microsoft Teams, but many of our clients have Cisco WebEx in their environment, so we need to use it.
How was the initial setup?
The Webex setup is basically automatic. You download it, and the installer does the rest. It takes only a few minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Some companies we do business with have the paid version of Webex, and we use it to connect to them, but we just use the free version.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Webex 10 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

One-click calling makes things easier, but it lags whenever we have multiple users
Pros and Cons
- "Webex has one-click calling, which makes things easier. You click, and it automatically dials in to the meetings without pressing additional buttons. It's easy for people who aren't on WebEx. That was helpful."
- "We switched from Webex to Teams because there was a lag in the WebEx experience and also a lack of integration. Easy integration with a free email account like Microsoft or Google would be helpful."
What is our primary use case?
I only use WebEx to communicate with one of the managing directors, because that is his default meeting platform.
What is most valuable?
Webex has one-click calling, which makes things easier. You click, and it automatically dials in to the meetings without pressing additional buttons. It's easy for people who aren't on WebEx. That was helpful.
What needs improvement?
We switched from Webex to Teams because there was a lag in the WebEx experience and also a lack of integration. Easy integration with a free email account like Microsoft or Google would be helpful.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We saw lag issues more often when we had multiple people connecting.
How are customer service and support?
We never contacted Cisco support about the lag issues because we didn't have time for a follow-up.
How was the initial setup?
Setup is marginally convenient, and that made a difference for the organization.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of Webex was reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Webex seven out of 10. Regardless of whatever email integration you have, one-click calling is the easiest. Getting two things together isn't so hard from a business user's perspective. But when you're doing multiple things, that one extra thing becomes an annoyance you don't want to deal with, and you're hoping that an IT team set it up for you already.
