Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have the ability to dynamically push our interface to participants. Adobe Connect is an older technology, but it allows us to push our own layout and design to participants. One of the solution's strengths is that it's web-only but that is also a weakness. It is not a software solution but is browser-based which has its advantages and disadvantages. Zoom has become such a force that its ease of use surpasses ON24.

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

"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"Webex's clarity is good for video and audio. I have found it better than Zoom. We can receive notifications of meetings which is helpful."
"Team members do not need to use public solutions to collaborate on complex projects, share files and screens."
"The solution is useful for communication."
"During Cisco training sessions, I found Webex effective in improving productivity. I benefited from the training. However, I can't speak for others using Webex for daily work or jobs."
"The solution is very valuable for conference calls, as a lot of businesses are switching from work-from-home."
"One of the most valuable features of WebEx is that it's very quick for ad hoc meetings, and I use it all day, every day, for internal chat with my team. It's just a good platform."
"The installation is not difficult."
"The stability of the solution is the most important feature."
 

Cons

"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"The licensing could be a bit simpler."
"There could be a feature available to record the meetings."
"There's some difficulty in Webex, particularly when a third party needs access and that third party is not part of the domain of the company, it could be difficult."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like the next release to be more user-friendly."
"When it was just two people trying to conference, it was easier. But now I see there are times when many people have to be on the call at the same time. That's definitely something that Webex can help with."
"The performance is not always good and could be improved."
"Webex is clunky and it's hard to use. It's not simple. Webex is probably the most user-unfriendly of all of them. Whenever you're trying to get on it, it's an absolute pain."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
"There is a need to pay the licensing charges to use Webex Enterprise Edition."
"The pricing of this solution is fine and I am satisfied with it."
"I use the free version, not the enterprise version. The only compelling reason to go for paid WebEx pay is if you're hosting large meetings."
"The price of Webex is in the middle range compared to the market."
"The cost is pretty high compared to the competitors."
"There is a subscription needed to use this solution and we pay approximately $5,000 per year."
"The price should be improved significantly."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
