Pros and Cons
  • "I have found Webex to be stable."
  • "I do not like the solutions functions."

What is our primary use case?

I am using Webex for video conferencing.

I do not like the solutions functions.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for many years. I did not use it very often, I use it approximately once a month.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have found Webex to be stable.

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

I have used Microsoft Teams and Zoom and I have found that Webex is one of the better solutions.

How was the initial setup?

Webex is easy to implement.

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

I am using the free version of Webex.

Offers many features, is flexible, and can be configured in multiple ways
Pros and Cons
  • "You can configure whatever you want in great detail."
  • "They should work to make it simpler."

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.

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."
  • "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.

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.

Contains popular features, useful screen share, and simple installation
Pros and Cons
  • "I have found a lot of virtual meeting solutions seem the same. Some might work a little bit better, it is difficult to pinpoint a particular functionality that's widely different, they all have screen sharing and video in-voice."
  • "I do not like emojis."

What is our primary use case?

I am using Webex mainly to speak to my manager.

What is most valuable?

I have found a lot of virtual meeting solutions seem the same. Some might work a little bit better, it is difficult to pinpoint a particular functionality that's widely different, they all have screen sharing and video in-voice.

What needs improvement?

I do not like emojis. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for a while, within the past 12 months.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have approximately 1,000 employees in Canada that could have used Webex at one time or another.

How are customer service and support?

I have not used technical support.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is straightforward in most cases.

What other advice do I have?

Virtual meeting solutions are not perfect while working remotely. The quality of the service depends on many factors, such as the connection I am using or the servers. Occasionally it's not always clear or perfect. It's not Webex in particular or this solution causing the issue.

I rate Webex an eight out of ten.

I would give most of the virtual meetings solutions, such as Zoom, or Google Meets which I use for my kids. All those platforms are similar, none of them are perfect.

Useful for virtual meetings, but stability needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "A valuable feature of Webex is that it's good for direct communication. In general, I'm satisfied."
  • "Webex's stability could be improved. It crashes very often. The user interface could also be improved to be more modern because it looks outdated."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case of Webex is virtual meetings. We also use it for direct communication and phone replacement. 

I think this solution is cloud-based. 

What is most valuable?

A valuable feature of Webex is that it's good for direct communication. In general, I'm satisfied. 

What needs improvement?

Webex's stability could be improved. It crashes very often. The user interface could also be improved to be more modern because it looks outdated. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for maybe five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is not so good. It crashes very often. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'm not in charge of expanding or scaling, but for me, it works fine. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Webex a seven out of ten because it crashes sometimes. I would recommend Webex to others considering implementation, but I would advise that they evaluate different solutions and take what works best for a particular use case.

Beneficial remote troubleshooting, simple installation, but lacking collaboration
Pros and Cons
  • "The installation is not difficult."
  • "The collaborative features could improve in Webex. There should not be the typical one on one connection that we have had in the past."

What is our primary use case?

We use Webex for end-user support purposes whenever there requires troubleshooting. For example, if we want to connect to America or Europe or a different country for the support we can.

What needs improvement?

The collaborative features could improve in Webex. There should not be the typical one on one connection that we have had in the past.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for approximately 15 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have found Webex to be stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Webex is scalable. 

I have noticed a decrease in the usage of this solution in our organization. We have approximately 10 people who are using this solution in my organization.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is not difficult.

What about the implementation team?

I am able to do the installation myself.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Webex a seven out of ten.
