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.

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.

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."

"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."

"The price of Webex is in the middle range compared to the market."

"I am using the free version of Webex."
