Webex Reviews

The product users, one in particular, liked the tool when it worked. My company managed to switch most of the users to Zoom, which worked flawlessly.

I don't like Webex. Some of the users of the companies I used to work for could only use the tool with certain clients who used only Webex, so even my company had no other way to deal with them. It wasn't a good experience for me using Webex because it stopped working all of a sudden, and I had to reinstall it. During the last month, my company switched to WebClient, and it seemed to fix the issues we were facing with Webex. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the solution.

The solution's local technical support needs improvement.

I have had issues with the frequent updates from Webex. From an improvement perspective, I would like to receive fewer updates from Webex.

I have five years of experience with Webex.

I don't know how to specifically rate the product's stability since it was a solution that used to function properly when it worked. I can rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten.

It is a scalable solution since it is available in the cloud.

When I left my previous company, I saw that there were only five licenses, and the organization had started off with around 50 users.

I have received the solution's local technical support but not from Cisco, and I felt it was very slow and not knowledgeable. I am sure that Cisco's direct support is great.

I am mainly using Zoom. Zoom is easier to use than Webex, and it also seems to be faster in the beginning phases.

The product's initial setup phase was very easy. The management console is easy to use.

The deployment part is not hard as the product is on the web.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The solution can be deployed in a few hours.

I don't know how the product was useful in improving the work associated with remote workforce, but I know that my company used it for meetings.

The video quality offered by the product is perfect and has no issues.

I recommend that others go ahead and use the product.

I never tried to integrate Webex with other tools.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

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

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.

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.

I have been using the product for a few years. 

Webex is stable. 

The tool is scalable since it can support big audiences. My company has 30 users, but I've worked in previous corporations where we had tens of thousands of users.

The tool's deployment is complex compared to other platforms. It needs to be more user-friendly in this area. It took about 10-15 minutes to complete. 

As a user, the corporation may need an integrator to configure the setup.

The tool's licensing is expensive, but it should be cheaper. 

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. 

We use Webex to connect with other people. We also use it for external training purposes.

It enhanced productivity and business efficiency.

It is highly recommended for remote connecting within and outside organisation.

I appreciate the developers of Webex because it's a wonderful tool. What I found most valuable in it is the seamless experience it offers, in terms of connecting with any person at any time remotely, without any glitches. This is the main advantage of Webex.

I also like that the platform is user-friendly, so anyone using the tool for the first time won't find any difficulties when logging in or accessing it.

Currently, I'm unable to find any loophole in Webex, but in terms of areas for improvement, it would be better if a user is informed about any new updates or new features added to the tool.

I've been using Webex since 2015. I used it initially in my previous company until 2020, then I joined my current company, and the tool is still being used here.

Webex is a stable tool.

Webex is a scalable tool.

It's our IT team who contacts the Webex technical support team and we're getting good support from our IT team, so this directly implies that Webex offers good technical support.

Positive

Webex is very easy to set up, and any person can use it, as it has a user-friendly interface.

I don't have information on Webex pricing because I'm just a user, and I wasn't involved in purchasing the product, but from 2015 to 2020, in my previous company, I used the paid version of the tool, but today, in my current company, it's the free version of Webex that's being used.

I evaluated Teams and Skype apart from Webex.

Webex is deployed on the private cloud and my company uses it to connect with people remotely, whether it's a company employee, a training provider, or a third party such as a customer.

Approximately five hundred people use the tool in my company.

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.

My rating for Webex is eight out of ten.

We use the solution for everything. It is used by engineers. They use the tool for communication within the team and for video calls with the customers. It provides chat, instant calling, and messaging features. Everything is integrated into Webex.

Webex is used by Cisco worldwide. All the companies that have Cisco engines will have Webex. It is a common tool for easy communication.

Webex is a good solution. It is a handy tool. Sharing is easy. Contacting multiple users at a time is easy. It is quite useful. It is a strong product. The video conferencing quality is better than that of other solutions. Webex has the upper hand on everything because it runs on Cisco.

Webex is limited to Cisco. It is a good and a bad thing. It is okay for security reasons. We will get access to the product only if we are a Cisco user.

I have been using the solution for eight years.

The initial setup is a bit difficult. It is quite technical.

Some companies use Microsoft Teams.

We are customers and partners. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.

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. 

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. 

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. 

I used this solution for one year. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

The setup was quite straightforward and convenient. We managed the deployment and setup ourselves. 

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. 

Webex is a reliable solution and has good video quality.

The solution’s pricing could be improved.

I have been using Webex for four years.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

Around five users are using Webex in our organization.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten for scalability.

We use Microsoft Teams and Google Meet simultaneously.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup a seven out of ten.

We implemented the solution in our organization through a reseller. The solution’s deployment took a few hours.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten.

We are satisfied with the way Webex handles large-scale virtual events. We do not use Webex too often. We use it once a week or once every two weeks. We did not face any problems with Webex's video quality. The solution's security and privacy features met our organization's requirements. Webex is deployed on the cloud in our organization.

I would recommend Webex to other users because it is a reliable solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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.

I have been using the product for two to three years. 

I rate the product's scalability a nine out of ten.

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. 

I haven't contacted the technical support yet. 

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.

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.

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. 

One of the best things about Webex which I liked was that it was simple and to the point. It separated its video conferencing capabilities from other extra capabilities, so you had two different products for the virtual meetings and for collaboration. This separation, these different products, made it easy to do what you wanted to do, and to get to the point of what you wanted to do.

The only reason why we could not stay with Webex was because they didn't have a data center in the African region. There were latency issues as well, so we couldn't continue using the tool. These are its areas for improvement. Other than these issues, there's no other area for improvement, because Webex is good the way it is.

Having a data center in the African region will help improve the latency issues, without incurring additional costs. There is a way that you can improve the latency issues, but you have to buy hardware from Cisco to put into your data center. Not a lot of companies would like to do that.

I've used Webex a year ago, for six months.

We found the stability of this solution satisfying.

We were satisfied with the scalability of Webex.

My rating for Cisco tech support is ten out of ten. Bruno, who handled our issues, was top-notch. Anything we needed, Bruno was on top of it. He was top-notch, so 100%, it's a ten out of ten.

The initial setup and deployment of Webex was easy and straightforward. It was on point, and there were no issues.

I evaluated Microsoft Teams.

We used an open-source license for Webex.

We had 2,500 users of Webex. The meetings we had using it had a maximum of 2,500 users.

I'm rating Webex a ten out of ten, functionality-wise.
