Webex Reviews

We use Webex for our critical or government customers, and when we're dealing with complex network infrastructure.

What I value most about Webex is its stability compared to other solutions. Webex comes from Cisco, which is a good brand. The name itself is a selling point.

They have a feature that is amazing but it's not implemented properly. It's called Profile Insight and it's similar to LinkedIn. Before you join a meeting, you can see the background of the person. But the problem is the implementation. There is so much missing information. This could be integrated with LinkedIn or something so it can produce more information about the person you're meeting with. Also, they've been announcing that they will add AI translation since 2019, but we're still not seeing that upgrade. 

I've been working with Webex for more than five years.

Webex support is not good and I can really only give them one star for support. Cisco is now transitioning from hardware-based infrastructure to software. So when you are migrating, you see the videos, user manual, configuration guidelines, etc. and it all looks simple, but when we start implementing, we face some integration issues. And when we try to open a ticket, it takes approximately 24 hours. With Microsoft, we get support within two or three hours. Zoom also has very good support. And unfortunately, they are selling the package of support separately, so we can't know what level of support we will get. But that's including with the license itself. So in this case, since they are similar to Microsoft, Zoom, Slack, and others, they should have the same support services.

There is some confusion for our customers who use Webex for the first time. Webex has two software products that are similar: Webex Teams and Webex Meetings. Webex Teams comes with the default license even if you didn't purchase it. If you have a Webex Meetings license, you get both. When they are installing Webex Teams for the first time, they are unable to join the meeting. When they install and they search on Google for "Webex Meetings installation," the first download option on the Webex website is Webex Teams. To join a meeting as a new user, you have to install Webex Meetings not Webex Teams.

We constantly deal with this confusion. It costs us time especially when we're dealing with a critical client who working from a remote site. So they install the first Webex and it does not work. Then they have to install the other one. So sometimes we have to send the link directly to him. So we only experience this kind of confusion with Webex, not in other vendors I believe.

Price is the one area where Webex needs to improve relative to its competitors. It's difficult to sell to small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) because of the license price. It's not very competitive with a product like Microsoft Teams because that is bundled with Microsoft 365, so the price will be lower. With SMBs, we face an issue when we try to sell Webex as a stand-alone product. It's easier to sell if it is packaged with Cisco infrastructure, IP phones, CallManager, and everything else. So they need to consider the needs of SMBs in their pricing. 

I give Webex a six out of 10, which I think is fair. They offer flexibility with every vendor, but there are issues with support and integration. Then there is the issue of price, which isn't affordable for SMBs.

Improved collaboration.

Cisco Spark has changed the concept of team messaging and communication in a very dramatic way. Messaging, meeting, and delivery calling are now easy from the cloud. This app also ensures security of the users by providing an encrypted and feasible chance for enterprise-wide engagement. The part I like best is that I can communicate with team members easily and also can have private chats outside the main room. Users can share content in a meeting, when in a call, or when messaging anyone, and the app can be accessed on smart phones, browsers, and dedicated downloads on Windows or Mac desktops.

Though it is a nice app to work with, it has downsides, too. It is not very user-friendly. Sometimes users cannot use voice recognition to send a message. Sometimes messages will not send, icons sometimes will not load, and those things disappoint a user. They should work on solving these issues as soon as possible.

The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is the easiest for participants to get connected to. 

I would like for them to include a collaboration tool so that you can directly do a video call or audio call to your colleagues or anyone in the office.

They should also introduce a collaboration tool to include the features of audio call and video call.

I have been using Webex for two months. 

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment took us around five minutes. It only took one person to set up. 

We have hundreds of users using this solution.

My primary use case of Webex is virtual meetings. We also use it for direct communication and phone replacement. 

I think this solution is cloud-based. 

A valuable feature of Webex is that it's good for direct communication. In general, I'm satisfied. 

Webex's stability could be improved. It crashes very often. The user interface could also be improved to be more modern because it looks outdated. 

I have been using Webex for maybe five years. 

The stability is not so good. It crashes very often. 

I'm not in charge of expanding or scaling, but for me, it works fine. 

I rate Webex a seven out of ten because it crashes sometimes. I would recommend Webex to others considering implementation, but I would advise that they evaluate different solutions and take what works best for a particular use case. 

We use Webex for web-based meetings.

The most valuable feature is the ease of use.

You can meet with users and you can control the contributions.

The interface is nice.

We have had issues where some of the invited participants are not able to join the meeting. This is a problem that we have had to create a support ticket for.

We have been using Webex for about one month.

The stability is fine.

Webex is scalable, although we only have a small number of users in our company. Not everyone is using it.

The initial setup is easy.

The pricing of this solution is fine and I am satisfied with it.

Overall, Webex is working fine for us at the time being and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
