I use Webex for having meetings in the cloud. For example, sometimes I use it for technical reviews with my team, and sometimes, I used it for education.
IT Technical III - IT Security at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Easy to install and use, and the remote control features are helpful
Pros and Cons
- "Webex is easy to use, even for people who are just learning it."
- "This solution would be much better if we could install an endpoint and have centralized management."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the remote control. I can share my screen, or control other PCs, which are very good features. I can do all of this from home without having to travel.
Webex is easy to use, even for people who are just learning it. They can join meetings or share content with the click of a link.
What needs improvement?
This solution would be much better if we could install an endpoint and have centralized management. This would allow me to subscribe, push an endpoint to the client, and then control these points.
I would like to see the inclusion of security agents, for example from McAfee or Symantec, which can scan the communication for threats. This would help avoid problems if a user has malware on their machine. Webex would also be able to scan for malicious files.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Webex for three years.

Information Technology Support Team Lead at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Has the ability to join meetings via phone but we have experienced connectivity issues
Pros and Cons
- "The ability to join by phone is the most valuable feature. I also think that it's much simpler to use and it's a Cisco product so I think it's the industry standard."
- "The connectivity can be improved because sometimes when we talk to clients that are overseas the connection is kind of poor. The video will be pixelated and we will need to turn off the video because the voice gets delayed."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case is for virtual meetings.
What is most valuable?
The ability to join by phone is the most valuable feature. I also think that it's much simpler to use and it's a Cisco product so I think it's the industry standard.
What needs improvement?
The connectivity can be improved because sometimes when we talk to clients that are overseas the connection is kind of poor. The video will be pixelated and we will need to turn off the video because the voice gets delayed.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Webex Meetings for two months.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We don't really contact customer support because we have isolated issues.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate it a six out of ten. It's not that bad but it's not excellent.
They should improve the overall connection stability. So that if we are on the other side of the world, we won't have issues where the video lags or voice is delayed. They are isolated issues for us. It could be that our ISPs are the problem.
I would recommend Webex for a quick meeting so that employees can meet.

Business Analyst at a recruiting/HR firm with 10,001+ employees
Has the option to type in a phone number and get a conference room to call my number rather than needing to dial in every time
Pros and Cons
- "They have a feature called Call Me in which I need to type in my phone number and I can get a conference room to call my number rather than needing to dial in every time. I think that's a quite good feature."
- "My company does a lot of international calls. For some countries they do not have their local number to call in, all they have is a 1-800 number which is quite hard to find. If they want to improve they should set up the local number to call in. What would be beneficial."
What is most valuable?
They have a feature called Call Me in which I need to type in my phone number and I can get a conference room to call my number rather than needing to dial in every time. I think that's a quite good feature.
What needs improvement?
My company does a lot of international calls. For some countries they do not have their local number to call in, all they have is a 1-800 number which is quite hard to find. If they want to improve they should set up the local number to call in. What would be beneficial.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. Our entire company uses it.
Our office alone is forty people and I know other offices use it as well but I'm not sure about the exact number.
We have an IT department that handles the maintenance and then a go-to person if we do have issues.
How are customer service and technical support?
I haven't had any issues with Webex that I've needed to contact their support for.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were previously using GoToMeeting in which we would share our screens but I think in Webex there's a whiteboard, where you can draw. I don't think we had that option with GoToMeeting.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Webex. I'm currently using and I'm happy with it. It has all of the features that our business needs. For example, our manager can call in and they also have their conference number which you can dial in as well and you can dial in using your phone, or you can use your computer video. It's easy to share a screen and turn your video on and off.
I would rate it a nine out of ten.
