We use the tool for internal and client meetings, webinars, and presentations.

Helps to save time by conducting meetings in a hybrid setup
Pros and Cons
- "The tool simplifies our work by allowing us to have hybrid meetings instead of always meeting in person, which saves time in organizing these meetings. It also offers good video quality."
- "The product needs to improve its integration. I'm not sure how difficult it is for the IT team to set up the integration. Once set up, it's easy but still not as straightforward as other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, where everything is within the same technical environment. To ensure further security, face authentication should also be added for all internal corporate users logged into the platform."

What is most valuable?
The tool simplifies our work by allowing us to have hybrid meetings instead of always meeting in person, which saves time in organizing these meetings. It also offers good video quality.
Webex helps to prevent unwanted guests from popping up in your meeting.
The video quality is fine, and I wouldn't expect it to be better. I'm not sure about the computing resources required to optimize the video delivery, though.
On Webex, I find the option to capture the talking points of each participant valuable. Also, features like adding emojis during live presentations help in getting live feedback from participants.
The security features are quite robust because they allow you only to permit entry from participants authorized by the organizer.
What needs improvement?
The product needs to improve its integration. I'm not sure how difficult it is for the IT team to set up the integration. Once set up, it's easy but still not as straightforward as other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, where everything is within the same technical environment. To ensure further security, face authentication should also be added for all internal corporate users logged into the platform.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for a few years.

I evaluated Teams and Skype apart from Webex.
What other advice do I have?

The advice I would give to others looking to start using WebEx is to go for it because it is a versatile tool that connects you with another person easily, remotely. It's also a very user-friendly tool and there's no issue in terms of setting up and accessing WebEx, so overall, I can tell people to go ahead and buy it.

IT manager at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
One aspect we like most is that the audio is clear
Pros and Cons
- "WebEx provides the option to record the chat or delete it. You can also dial into the video on your mobile to communicate with the engineer or whoever. One aspect we like most is that the audio is clear. That is one of the most valuable features of WebEx."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
We use Webex to provide remote support and OEM access if we have any problems.
What is most valuable?
WebEx provides the option to record the chat or delete it. You can also dial into the video on your mobile to communicate with the engineer or whoever. One aspect we like most is that the audio is clear. That is one of the most valuable features of WebEx.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
We started using Webex in 2019, so we've been using it for about two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In the time that we've been using Webex, we haven't seen any jerking or lag on in the remote sessions. The performance is smooth compared to other third-party applications.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We don't need to scale Webex because I work in a data center. We don't have many people working at the same time, and we're working in shifts, so 10 people clock in, and 10 clock out. That means we only need 10 licenses.
How are customer service and support?
Cisco support is great.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We tried Zoom, Team Viewer, and another solution. We prefer Webex because it works well on the web application compared to others.
How was the initial setup?
Installing Webex is simple. It doesn't take more than half an hour or 45 minutes tops, and there is no maintenance after installation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Features matter more than the price for us. As long as we get all the features we want and it fits our budget, then the price doesn't matter. I can't speak for other companies. We have tried other applications, and we run into some problems that we don't see in Webex.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Webex 10 out of 10. We've recommended it to many of the companies we work with. Two or three out of 10 have gone with Webex.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Transformation Program Manager at NTT Data India Enterprise Application Services Pri
Powerful with convenient recording feature and useful mobile app option
Pros and Cons
- "Seamless integration with Microsoft Outlook."
- "No private chat option."
What is our primary use case?
We used Webex extensively, several times a day, for internal and external meetings as well as web and video conferencing. I'm a transformation program manager and we're a customer of Webex.
What is most valuable?
I really liked the seamless integration with Microsoft Outlook, so that I could schedule meetings. The Microsoft login was pretty convenient. The recording feature was very convenient and I had the mobile app as well which was an added convenience for me.
What needs improvement?
We had one problematic issue and that was with the recordings that were kept on the web. Initially they were auto archiving but then recordings were getting deleted after three months and we weren't aware of that change in their policy. I lost a lot of my recordings and I think they should have a longer retention period for the recordings.
A private chat option would be a good addition to the solution. If you're in the middle of a meeting and you want to have a private chat with someone, it can be a useful feature.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used this solution for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In most cases, the solution is stable although a couple of times we had issues with the audio conferencing feature for people who tried joining on their phones. On the whole there were no problems.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I believe scalability is good. We have 30,000 employees in our company and probably around 10,000 were using Webex. An IT team manages the solution.
How are customer service and technical support?
I contacted Webex technical support after the recordings were deleted but they weren't able to retrieve them for me. It was very unfortunate because I had no other record of those meetings and they couldn't resolve that for me because the meetings had been deleted. That was the only time I contacted technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Prior to Webex we used an audio conferencing solution called Arkadin. We only switched to web conferencing when we moved to Cisco Webex. We had also used Skype but it wasn't very effective. We would use audio Arkadin conferencing and if we needed to screen share we'd use Skype.
We are now using Zoom and it seems Zoom requires more customizations than Webex. Zoom required setting changes before allowing everyone to join meetings and the default settings were not good. Zoom does have the private chat option which Webex doesn't have and I found that very useful.
How was the initial setup?
The setup was quite straightforward and convenient. We managed the deployment and setup ourselves.
What other advice do I have?
This is a good software and a powerful tool, I don't have any complaints.
I would rate this solution a nine out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Pros and Cons
- "Webex helps us collaborate better. We can work with customers and our team in real-time, share screens, and use a whiteboard. It's been really helpful."
What is most valuable?

For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for two to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the product's scalability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. Our organization uses Webex, and its users include project managers, development team leads, and consultants like myself.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted the technical support yet.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used GoTo Meeting before Webex. I do have confidence in Cisco technology since we've used Cisco switches and support in the past, so Webex, being from Cisco, seems promising.
How was the initial setup?
I would rate my experience with the initial setup as a nine out of ten. It was very easy and straightforward, and I've always had a good experience with it.
Webex is deployed in our organization primarily for consultants and teams. Whenever a customer requires us to discuss certain products or topics, we use the tool to facilitate those discussions and bring everyone together for meetings.
The deployment is quick. We download it from the web, install it, and start using it. There's no extensive company-wide deployment of the tool in our organization. It's primarily used by consultants engaging with customers who prefer Webex for meetings. I've never initiated a Webex meeting myself. Typically, it takes less than five minutes from downloading to join a meeting.
What other advice do I have?
I've been using Webex to meet customer requirements. I tend to use Zoom for team-related activities. However, if the customer prefers Webex, Zoom, or Teams, we adapt accordingly.
I'm using a hybrid setup, including on-premises and hybrid cloud environments. Our approach is driven by customer requirements because we prioritize serving our customers. We support platforms like Azure, AWS, and private or hybrid cloud, including on-premises deployments.
I rate the product a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
