Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is very easy to jump from one communication channel to another one. It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."

"I like the share information function."

"We use the solution for team collaboration, document sharing, and video conferencing services. It integrates well with on-premises video conferencing systems and supports chatting through text messaging and instant messaging."

"Interesting collaboration features."

"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."

"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."

"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings. Those are the two primary functions of Meeting Server. Most people in the company are using Microsoft Teams, so we only use Meeting Server when we have an internal meeting for all staff."

"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."

"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."

Cons

"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."

"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."

"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."

"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."

"What would make Cisco Meeting Server better is integrating it with Zoom and Teams so that you can connect or make a call through any of the two third-party solutions."

"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app."

"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."

"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."

"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."

"Price-wise, Cisco Meeting Server is a product that falls in a mid-range category."

"Licensing fees are billed yearly."

"Cisco Meeting Server has reasonable licensing costs."
