Webex Reviews

We only use the solution for virtual meetings. 

The stability, as well as the performance of the solution, are very good.

What we have seen from, for example, Google Meet, is that there is some kind of disruption or some issues which we have been facing. However, with WebEx, we have not faced any kind of issue. 

The product is quite secure. Other products, such as Zoom, have had security issues raised in the media. With WebEx, we are assured our internal meetings are protected. 

The interface could be a bit more user-friendly.

We first had it installed with the pandemic started. We've been using it since around 2020. 

The product is quite stable and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

We have our own internal support. We have one manager and four or five engineers who basically handle all issues. I don't directly deal with the troubleshooting and cannot speak to the process. 

I'm also familiar with Zoom and Google Meet. We use these as well as WebEx. In fact, before we started using WebEx, we used Google Meet specifically.

Prior to that, we had more physical, in-person meetings, however, the pandemic has changed how we do meetings now, and we do much more virtual meetings.

WebEx is more secure than, for example, Zoom.

As a cloud-based solution, the initial implementation is quite simple and straightforward. It's not complete or difficult at all. There is no physical installation required.

We're using the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the exact version number.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pretty happy with its capabilities overall. 

I would definitely recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

We use Webex for virtual meetings.

The GUI is nice and easy to operate.

It should be more integrated with third-party vendors.

I have been working with Webex off and on for a couple of years.

We are using the latest version.

Webex is a stable product.

I have never needed to contact Webex technical support.

We also use Skype when Webex is not required.

We have recently upgraded to Teams.

The initial setup is similar to Zoom. It is straightforward and easy to install.

The installation takes less than 10 minutes.

There are no licensing fees.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Webex a nine 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. 

We use the solution to hold conferences with customers.

The important feature is breakout sessions. We can create a breakout session if we want to hold a conference and make a room only for some people at the meeting.

The solution could make it easier to share the files with the customer.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

Technical support is good.

Positive

I have used Microsoft Team before. I prefer Microsoft settings because we can create and use Microsoft online. It's easier to share the files with the customer. 

The initial setup is easy.

I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I like Webex because it is easy to work with.

In terms of improvement, every time I want to join a meeting on the web, I have to download an extension or the desktop app. It would be better if I could just join meetings directly on the web without extra downloads and steps. Simplifying this process would make things more straightforward and convenient for users like me.

I have been working with Webex for almost four years.

I would rate the scalability as a ten out of ten. It is most suitable for small to medium businesses.

I have used Microsoft Teams along with other solutions like Webex, and in comparison, Teams stands out for its seamless integration with Office 365. The compatibility with business needs makes Teams a preferred choice. While both Teams and Webex serve their purposes, the ease of use and integration with Microsoft's suite of tools make Teams a more convenient option for me.

The initial setup was not overly difficult, but it was time-consuming.

For those considering using Webex, my advice would be to explore automation options, especially if there is an outside team involved. Automating certain tasks can streamline processes and make using Webex more efficient. Overall, I would rate Webex as an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for virtual meetings including video conferences. I'm an IT programmer. 

The stability of the solution is the most important thing. I've used Teams previously and we had a lot of issues with stability. 

I'd like to see a modernized user interface, something a bit more colorful. In that sense, a solution like Teams is much better, it has a modern UI.  

I've been using this solution for two years. 

It's quite scalable, we've had large numbers on WebEx conferences.

We previously used MyMeeting which is more of a boardroom hosted environment where you can connect boardroom Polycom devices to a virtual cloud meeting room. 

I recommend this product and rate it eight out of 10. 

About 99% of the time, I use it for team meetings, regional calls, and screen sharing. I also use it personally to connect with my family, attend gatherings, and so on.

As compared to Zoom, I like its user interface more. It is much easier to use, and I also find it more stable.

The feature that I constantly use is the sharing of the screen, which is helpful when different teams are working on the same product. I also use the Slido plugin.

There is a small bug when it comes to connecting my Webex with my Outlook Calendar. Some meetings show up, and others don't. They should fix this bug.

I have been using this solution for five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. I have a personal account. In our organization, everyone has an account on Webex. We have about 1,500 employees.

I haven't used their technical support.

It is straightforward and easy to install. You can also have it on your mobile app. So, you can use it from your phone or laptop. It is quite simple.

You don't need a technical person for installation.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I use Webex for virtual meetings.

Webex could improve the performance.

I have been using Webex for approximately one year.

Webex could be more stable.

We have approximately 1,000 users using this solution in my organization.

We have not contacted technical support.

I have used Skype for Business previously.

The implmentation of Webex is simple. It does not a lot of time.

We no longer use Webex because we found Microsoft Teams to be more stable.

I rate Webex a six out of ten.
