We've found the ability to pre-load PPTs and to promote presenters or mute all to be valuable features.
Global Meet allows us to conduct planning meetings, share screens, record recording issues with recordings not recording or being saved for 30 days. Valuable Features: * The ability to pre-load PPTs. * The ability to promote presenters or mute all. * The ability to upload files and easily share presentations.
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

"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"I have found the most valuable features to be the high quality of the video and the audio. Additionally, the graphical user interface is good and it is easy to use."
"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."
"Integrates well with other Cisco solutions."
"Cisco is a pioneer in this particular technology. The features and technology have been adopted and they have been integrated with other solutions."
"What I value most about Webex is its stability compared to other solutions."
"Webex is a reliable solution and has good video quality."
"Great quality of sound, quality of pics and video."
"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."
 

Cons

"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"Everything just needs to be shrunk down without sacrificing quality so that not so much bandwidth is needed in order to hold meetings effectively."
"We have had issues where some of the invited participants are not able to join the meeting."
"The solution is heavy and slow."
"I do not like the solutions functions."
"The WebEx interface is not as user-friendly as Zoom's. There is room for improvement there."
"I would like to see the addition of new features that will add value to the product."
"Webex could be improved by having a password-protected system. I don't remember there being any passwords for the meetings, but, presently, Zoom has meeting protection."
"I would like it if Webex's mobile interface had all the same application integration as the desktop. Maybe the applications work on mobile as well, but we have not tried it yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
"Webex is very expensive."
"I believe the license to be monthly."
"You need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges of the product. You need to opt for a subscription-based licensing model for your organization. The product is a bit expensive."
"The price of the license for the solution could be less expensive."
"The price of Webex is in the middle range compared to the market."
"I am using the free version of Webex."
"This is an expensive product compared to Teams and it should be cheaper."
