AlexandruCioruta - PeerSpot reviewer
Used to conduct online third-party client meetings or third-party vendor meetings
The solution's video conferencing quality is good, and I rate it a nine out of ten. The solution's security features are end-to-end encrypted, and I rate them ten out of ten. The version we're using requires no technical team for deployment and maintenance. The solution has an enterprise version, but we're not currently using it. I would recommend the solution to other users because it has good video conference quality. I mostly leverage the solution for third-party client meetings or third-party vendor meetings. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Interesting collaboration features."
"We can do the global meeting with this solution."
"The product saves time and money."
"I like that it can accommodate larger groups of listeners. I think in my client's organization, they use Webex for meetings with a larger group of listeners. I believe Skype For Business is not preferred. I think they use Webex or their own custom platform because it accommodates more users in one meeting."
"The product is quite secure. Other products, such as Zoom, have had security issues raised in the media."
"Webex's main feature is you get 1,000 participants per meeting by default and can join from 75 meeting units. You don't have to buy additional licenses."
"The camera moves in tandem with the person who is using it to communicate with the other participants."
"In terms of stability, the solution is reliable."
"I don't think Zoom has anywhere near the features and functionality of Webex."
 

Cons

"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."
"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."
"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."
"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."
"The solution's initial setup process is lengthy."
"The only thing it maybe needs is a chat."
"Webex is a very demanding application, so it requires a very heavy bandwidth."
"I think it's very inconvenient to have to enter my email address all the time just to be a visitor."
"The modification of the email template is not very intuitive."
"It would be better if I could just join meetings directly on the web without extra downloads and steps."
"The solution must provide a plan to extend the subscription by three months."
"Webex could improve the calling feature. It would be helpful to be able to call outside the IP environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."
"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."
"I rate the platform's pricing a six out of ten."
"Webex is expensive, especially compared to Zoom or Google."
"We purchase the product's yearly license. It is expensive."
"For me, there is no licensing fee."
"The price should be improved significantly."
"I believe the license to be monthly."
"I use the solution for free because I don't use the solution's enterprise version."
"I am using the free version of Webex."
