Cisco Meeting Server vs Zoom 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."

"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."

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

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"Easy to use whenever and wherever necessary."

"Whiteboard is a good feature for having a meeting in which everyone can join to type or draw, and write. If we have a brainstorming-type meeting, we can share our own ideas with the whiteboard."

"There is a free version of the solution."

"Zoom is very convenient to use and the basic functions work well for us."

"The most valuable feature is the remote desktop because sometimes we have to intervene and control the client's infrastructure."

"I've been on a call with around a thousand students. So, it was quite scalable."

"I've never had to use tech support for it. It just works."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"My only concern in Zoom is the stigma associated with being a Chinese product. However, it has been acquired by the US government or a US counterpart has taken over it. There is not any issue with respect to data security. This being said, there is a little bit of apprehension when it comes to the data security aspect. It's better if they give a public statement that we are compliant with the GDPR requirements. It will be helpful for them in promoting their solution in a much better way."

"Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people. In Teams, I can call anyone I want. It's like a telephone. I can do the same on Skype, but I have to send a link in Zoom."

"Zoom should improve aspects of its security."

"The product's stability needs improvement."

"Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change."

"It is difficult to collaborate."

"The video quality of the free version might not be as good as the enterprise edition."

"They need to improve the background feature, to be able to set a background without interfering with the current background."

"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."

"There is some basic functionality that's free but if you want to host longer meetings and have more participants, then there is a licensing fee."

"I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"Zoom is free."

"I use the free version of Zoom."

"The solution is affordable."

"I am using the free version."

"Zoom is free to use."
