Cisco Meeting Server vs Cisco TelePresence comparison

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

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

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

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

"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."

"TelePresence allows our customers to have a quick meeting while traveling and still be effective. It saves time and money."

"The SpeakerTrack feature is the most valuable feature."

"Telepresence's most valuable feature is keeping highly paid employees, such as executives, on the ground instead of wasting time flying around the world. So if you have the right telepresence plan and form, it's not just the video cameras and the systems behind them, it's the way you lay out your meeting room.You can have multiple offices interconnecting in a single meeting, and it looks like everybody's in the same big conference room together because the telepresence yields such a fantastic amount of clarity."

"The most valuable features of Cisco TelePresence are the basic standard features and the ease of use. Additionally, the configuration and integration are exemplary."

"The speaker tracker feature in Cisco Telepresence is highly valuable, especially the ability to track multiple participants and change focus during meetings."

"PresenterTrack cameras improve the meeting experience."

"It was stable. So, I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."

"The configuration is a valuable."

"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."

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

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

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

"Cisco TelePresence could improve its integration capabilities."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, with ten being expensive. It was complex with badges and certificates. Too crazy."

"The tool is expensive."

"I was in touch with one of our clients and they mentioned that they would like to have a holographic video conferencing. It would be great if that feature would be added."

"The calling features can be improved."

"The price of Cisco TelePresence overall should be reduced."

"MX800 comes only with one available DVI port. A few more HDMI ports will improve the system's capability."

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

"Cisco Meeting Server has reasonable licensing costs."

"Licensing fees are billed yearly."

"The pricing is expensive, therefore I rate it an eight out of ten."

"The price of Cisco Telepresence is high, especially in Brazil. However, the quality of the product justifies the cost."

"I will rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"Cisco TelePresence license is expensive and should be reduced. There is only a cost for the license and it is annually."

"We used high definition, 1080p, but again, it required license purchases. For example, with three licenses (TP licenses), each allowing one 1080p screen, if I had six participants, I'd need to lower the resolution to 720p or lower to accommodate more participants. More licenses meant more cost."
