Webex Reviews

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 The user interface could also be improved to be more modern because it looks outdated.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. 

• Virtual meeting rooms
• Video/Voice capabilities
• Desktop sharing and whiteboards

• Increased productivity
• Ability to have meetings on-the-fly, without any scheduling
• Resources are always available

I would like to see integration with legacy video endpoints.

I have used it for 18 months.

I did not encounter any stability issues.

I did not have any scalability issues. My requirement is a maximum of ten end points connected.

I would give technical support a rating of 9/10.

We previously used free solutions such as Skype or Google Hangouts.

The initial setup was simple.

We evaluated Videxio, Pexip, and Google Hangouts.

It is easy to implement. Go for WebEx cloud services.

I have no idea which version we are using at present. 

It is difficult for me to put my finger exactly on what needs to be improved with the solution.

This said, I feel the greatest issue with the solution is its price. Small governments and modest-sized schools simply cannot afford it. 

I have been working with Webex for five-plus years. 

The solution is definitely stable. We are talking about a Cisco product and it has been around for years. 

My biggest issue with the solution involves its price, which I find to be prohibitive for small governments and modest-sized schools. 

I feel the solution to be stable and they are constantly improving on it. It is probably the best in the market for its kind. I have often heard anecdotally from those using Microsoft Teams that Webex has many features which it lacks. 

There is also Zoom, which people like, supposedly for its ease of use. Initially, there were many issues with it, not least of all that the database is housed in China. Yet, I feel they have since gotten passed these, as they experienced growing pains during the pandemic, when usage spiked. They started to offer the solution free of charge. 

I don't think Zoom has anywhere near the features and functionality of Webex.

I only use Zoom or Teams when another person does who has initiated the call. 

I can't say for certain how the solution is deployed, although this is likely on the cloud. I use the cloud-based version. I know there is an app, part of which, I assume, could be cloud-based. I mostly use the solution on my computer, which has a VPN connection. 

Issues I encountered in the past did not involve the product itself, but resulted from my computer and connections being slow. Moreover, as a company, we need to do a much better job training people. There is a need to learn with experience and I am not certain I did this properly. I feel the product has much more potential for use than I make of it. 

I find the solution to be convenient. In the past I found it to be a bit on the clunky side, but now the interfaces are pretty intuitive and they are constantly improving on the solution. 

I rate Webex as a solid eight out of ten. 

The primary use case is for video conferencing.

The most valuable features are video conferencing, the integration with Outlook, and scheduling meetings. These features work well.

There are too many issues with getting people connected to meetings.

Reliability and consistency need improvement.

I would like to see support for connecting with customers who don't have Webex installed and to improve the audio quality.

I have been using Webex for a couple of years, using the most up-to-date version.

There are some issues with stability.

The scalability is good.

We have not had any experience with technical support because we have not had to call.

I also have experience with Zoom and I find it to be a better product.

The initial setup was straightforward and there was nothing difficult about it.

My advice would be to get the full version, the enterprise version, and make sure that the initial setup is done properly.

Zoom is better, as it is easier and more consistent. 

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

I use Webex Meeting daily to make all kinds of virtual meetings with my clients, colleagues, and suppliers. It helps me to carry out surveys on needs or help clients create smart accounts or review problems on their platform, all without moving from the office or my house, even from the cell phone.

Webex has helped me to give my customers a much faster response without the need to mobilize, so it avoids transport costs and times. It allows us to improve the SLA contracted by customers, so we can improve our contracts. This ultimately translates into greater profit.

The best feature is to be able to share the screen or just some application we want, even a video or audio, then request the remote control of the device with which they have connected. The latter helps solve problems much faster, rather than guiding the customer.

In the latest version, they have greatly improved access to virtual meeting rooms and it is quite intuitive.

I think options during a meeting can be further improved. You should explore a lot to see the information in the room, for example.

The modification of the email template is not very intuitive.

In the last year, only one time have we run out of service. There was an update that meant that for a couple of days, there is no service worldwide. But, it was only a single time and even the president of Cisco came out to apologize.

The solution scales to what one decides. It has practically no limits.

Cisco has a help desk that works twenty-four hours a day. Depending on the service contract, a case can be opened at any time and an engineer will take it to help solve the problem. If this engineer cannot, it will be escalated until it is resolved.

I have used Microsoft's solution with Skype for Business, but it does not integrate as natively with video devices as Webex Meeting does.

The initial setup is really very easy. However, you better not make a mistake in creating the site, because it is not possible to delete it on your own. To delete it, you must open a case with Cisco support.

We ourselves have implemented it.

Just because you don't need a transfer to support customers or get together, it makes the solution pay for itself.

The cost of installation is free and it is not required to install anything since it is a cloud service.

The price of the license depends a lot on the type of service required and whether it is for the entire company or only for a few users. It becomes much cheaper when used by the entire company.

I tried BlueJeans and Zoom before choosing this solution.

The solution really is very good. In the last year, it has improved a lot, including the recording of the meetings has improved and been perfected.

The possibility to have conferences with several people. The best feature is that you know to whom you are talking. It's not like a phone conference where someone is talking, but if you don't recognize the voice, you don't know who is talking.

Also, I like the ability to integrate video conference into the meeting.

I'm work at Telefonica International. This tool improves our communications with people all around the globe.

Cisco WebEx is always developing more functions and improving on the ones that it already has. So, I think that all areas are improving already.

For three years now.

Yes, but it depends on the customers'/users' networks, not with Cisco WebEx in particular.

No issues.

I would give it a six out of 10.

Not previously. But currently, we also use Lync (Skype for Business), and WebEx is far far better than Skype.

No, it's very easy to implement as long as you have a clear picture of what you want. Also, the tool is very malleable, so you can easily change functionalities.

Cisco is not cheap, and this product is not the exception to the rule, but it is worth all the money paid.

No.

If you have the budget, go for WebEx. You won't find anything more stable, scalable, and with a fair support team.

I really value WebEx’s sharing of applications.

WebEx enables remote employees to participate in training sessions and other meetings.

Recordings are slow to start, sometimes fail, and are difficult to edit.

I have used it for over 10 years.

I did not ecnounter any stability issues.

I did not encounter any scalability issues.

User setup was straightforward.

WebEx’s sharing of an application or the desktop enables me to give a presentation or a demo to remote colleagues, customers and prospects. Other services such as email, audio conferencing and twitter are very useful for communicating in other important ways, WebEx is the corporate gold standard for what it does best, that is easy, reliable sharing of content on my screen to one or several hundred people in real time.
