Webex Reviews

We use Webex for video calls and meetings. 

When clients arrive, some people use Webex, others use Teams, and still, others use Zoom.

The performance is not always good and could be improved.

I have been working with Webex for three years, and have used it within the last year.

Webex's stability is adequate.

We don't have any issues with Webex's scalability, but we don't scale very much.

Technical support is handled by another team in the organization.

The installation was straightforward.

Only one person is required to maintain this solution. 

I am not involved with the licensing.

In terms of recommending this solution, nothing can be done because it is a decision made by the organization.

For me personally, I am satisfied with this solution and would recommend it.

I would rate Webex a seven out of ten.

We use Webex to provide remote support and OEM access if we have any problems.

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.

We started using Webex in 2019, so we've been using it for about two years. 

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. 

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.

Cisco support is great. 

We tried Zoom, Team Viewer, and another solution. We prefer Webex because it works well on the web application compared to others. 

Installing Webex is simple. It doesn't take more than half an hour or 45 minutes tops, and there is no maintenance after installation.  

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. 

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. 

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.

I have been using Webex for the last two years. 

It is very stable. 

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.

I haven't had any issues with Webex that I've needed to contact their support for. 

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.

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. 

We were using Webex to meet with clients and also for internal consumption within the company.

Webex is a thin client and we like the interface. It is easy to use.

I would like to see additional online chat capabilities. You had to launch the app pretty much all of the time. These are areas where Webex can do a little better.

It could be easier to integrate with Calendar.

We have not experienced any bugs, glitches, or connection problems.

Prior to transitioning to teams, we had between 120,000 and 150,000 users.

We made the transition from Webex to Microsoft Teams and now use Teams for the most part.

The reason that we moved is that we're a Microsoft shop and we have a relationship with them. Microsoft is a diamond partner whereas Cisco is a gold partner.

We have seen this as a general pattern, where people move away from WebEx into either Teams or other collaboration tools. Webex is in the cloud but if they had more economical options, or any additional features compared to Teams and other products, it might be a value add.

The initial setup was okay.

This is an expensive product compared to Teams and it should be cheaper.

Overall, we were really happy with it but decided to leverage Teams instead.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

My primary use case of Webex was virtual meetings. Recordings would go to the cloud, and since it was cloud-based, I used the latest version of Webex.

One of the most valuable features of Webex was that it was easy to use and there were no hassles. 

Webex could be improved by having a password-protected system. I don't remember there being any passwords for the meetings, but, presently, Zoom has meeting protection. 

I used Webex from the time I joined my organization, in 2016, until 2019. 

Webex is stable. Comparatively, it is much better—I've had no issues. 

This solution is scalable. In my organization, Webex has been replaced by Zoom, so that's what everyone uses. 

I did not face any issues, so I never contacted technical support. The only issue I faced was the safety aspect, on a personal basis, but besides that I didn't face any issues. 

Webex was installed by the respective department in my organization's system.

I implemented through an in-house team. 

My organization took care of the licensing. I'm guessing they did some subscription cycle, but I used the free version. 

We have switched to using Zoom. Compared to Webex, Zoom is much more upgraded, but not as easy to use. The only thing about Webex is we didn't have any password features and all that, which we do have in Zoom. If you compare Webex and Zoom, both are good in their own rights. 

Zoom's installation was easy—I did it myself and it took probably five minutes. I use Zoom for personal purposes as well as in my company. My personal one is unlicensed and just for meetings that are 15-20 minutes long. My company's version was installed by them, so I'm not sure whether it's an enterprise or free version of a license. There are over 10,000 people in my organization who use Zoom. 

According to some articles I read in regards to Zoom, if I'm using it for personal purposes, it does take data. When I read the privacy policies and the terms and conditions, it takes all the data from your mobile or the laptop that you're using. So there is a threat, when you're using it for personal requirements, that it can take your data: the contact details, photos, even your bank details if you keep it on your mobile. So on a personal note, I won't use it. I have it installed, but only because of my organization's requirements. But if it's for a personal thing, no. 

I rate Webex a seven out of ten. I think I would recommend Webex to others, but password protection needs to be added. 

We use Webex for having our virtual meetings and we also provide this as a solution for our customers. On our side, we use it for both internal and external communication.

This solution allows us to operate 24/7, even in cases like the current COVID-19 crisis. It allows us to interact with our customers for support and for other activities.

What we like about Webex is that it is a hosted solution, so there is no demand for us to invest in hardware, skill, or manpower to maintain our cloud meeting capability.

We can host a meeting online from anywhere at any time and from any location.

Webex can be used for more than just meetings. You can also have a remote session or an organized event like a webinar. You can perform live technical support if you want.

Better integration with other solutions would benefit Webex.

We have been using Webex for the past eight years.

We are using Webex extensively these days.

It is very scalable in terms of the time limits for meetings. You can even say that there are no time limits, depending on your subscription.

We have 20 internal users and more than 100 customers using Webex.

I like the support and I don't see any challenges in terms of it. The solution is managed and maintained through the cloud and at any time, if we need any help or technical assistance then we have toll free numbers, as well as email addresses for contact centers.

We can get any help and support that we need, whether it is technical support or retail support.

We did not use another similar software prior to this.

We deploy this solution ourselves and it takes about 30 minutes.

Licensing is subscription-based and the cost varies depending on how many minutes are included in the plan. There is an unlimited plan available as well.

In general, this is not an expensive solution. The price improves with the number of licenses that are purchased.

My advice to anybody who is considering Webex is that it is a great tool for having meetings and collaborating with customers, suppliers, and employees. I think that everybody should use it.

Overall, this is a good solution and I recommend it. It is easy to operate, easy to manage, easy to configure, and it is cost-effective.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Cisco WebEx solution is used for voice and web conferencing across five domestic manufacturing facilities. The service enables our locations to utilize not only voice conferencing but also web which allows sharing of content.

It allows for collaboration between like teams located in different manufacturing facilities as well as corporate offices, including training.

The call me feature is one of the features our employees seem to love, they hate having to locate a phone number to call in to it. They say it is cumbersome.

In collaborating we sometimes find it difficult to let others "control" your meeting while they speak, users say it is cumbersome to "pass the puck".

We have had some audio quality issues, and troubleshooting can be difficult because of the details you need to provide to Cisco/WebEx, and that the call needs to have taken place very recently. We have users that sometimes don't even report the issue for a day or two.

We have had no issues with any limitations WebEx may have.

InterCall: not as much collaboration ability.

Straightforward. Rolled out to users without issue.

Both, we had vendor assistance, but communication came from in-house to end users.

Unknown.

Yes, I don't remember.

Be aware of the different costs associated with voice and data (even if you don't use it you may still be charged).

The platform helped us a lot during COVID-19 to schedule meetings remotely.

We can access and conduct meetings remotely from anywhere using Webex. It saves a lot of challenges dealing with documents while preparing for meetings or interview sessions.

The product's price could be better. 

We have been using Webex for seven years.

I use Skype, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom as well. Some functions like screen sharing are challenging to use in Microsoft Teams. For Skype, it is more complicated to establish a powerful network.

We have to connect to the network and download the software using the browser for installation.

I implemented the product myself.

We purchase the product's yearly license. It is expensive.

I rate Webex an eight out of ten.
