Highly scalable and easy to work with
Pros and Cons
  • "I like Webex because it is easy to work with."
  • "It would be better if I could just join meetings directly on the web without extra downloads and steps."

What is most valuable?

I like Webex because it is easy to work with.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Webex for almost four years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Support available, scales well, but chat functionality could improve
Pros and Cons
  • "The most noteworthy aspect of Webex is its quality, which I found satisfactory without any notable issues."
  • "In terms of features, it would be beneficial for Webex to focus on improving its chat functionality to make it more user-friendly. Additionally, enhancing communication operations to create a friendlier user experience would be advantageous. Other individuals who have tried using it faced challenges when attempting to share content with third parties during conversations or meetings."

What is our primary use case?

We use Webex for conferencing.

What is most valuable?

The most noteworthy aspect of Webex is its quality, which I found satisfactory without any notable issues.

What needs improvement?

In terms of features, it would be beneficial for Webex to focus on improving its chat functionality to make it more user-friendly. Additionally, enhancing communication operations to create a friendlier user experience would be advantageous. Other individuals who have tried using it faced challenges when attempting to share content with third parties during conversations or meetings.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for approximately five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We encountered connectivity issues that could have stemmed from our network, the internet service provider (ISP), or other factors. It seemed to be an isolated incident, and I didn't have the opportunity to connect with tech support to diagnose the exact problem. It could have been related to an update or an issue with Webex itself. However, the problem was eventually resolved. While it was a significant concern for someone else, I had not personally received any complaints about it prior to that occurrence.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have three people in my group that have used Webex.

How are customer service and support?

Although there is internal technical support available, I didn't escalate the issue as it was resolved almost immediately. The presence of an active internal technical support team played a key role in swiftly fixing the problem.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have a preference for alternative tools. Regarding conferences, Webex is acceptable. I want to be honest with you about this. Connecting on Webex is actually easy. I would consider it to be on par with Zoom in terms of overall quality. However, I'm aware that some external users from the company's perspective have encountered certain issues that have hindered their conversations. Honestly, they weren't particularly enthusiastic about this solution. When I need to communicate with these external customers through Webex, they tend to choose another tool. This doesn't inspire much confidence in me, but I understand it's a personal matter. Perhaps the design could be improved, but that's also just my personal opinion. Apart from that, I believe Webex has all the necessary features. As a regular Zoom user, I simply prefer to stick with Zoom based on my own experiences and preferences. Additionally, I find it more useful to use Zoom for both personal and team purposes.

For my ideal solution, I would suggest taking the best features from various tools. For instance, I would incorporate Slack's messaging capabilities and Zoom's audio-video functionality. That combination would be perfect for me. If it were possible to also include elements from other platforms like Telegram and Webex, it would further enhance the overall solution.

What other advice do I have?

The solution requires maintenance. 

I rate Webex a seven out of ten.

Simple implementation, easy to use, but distracting operation noises
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of Webex is ease to use."
  • "The GUI of Webex should be improved. The connectivity for putting people inside the meetings or entering meetings is to be improved."
  • "Before Webex was the worst meeting platform I used."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Webex for meetings.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of Webex is ease to use.

What needs improvement?

The GUI of Webex should be improved. The connectivity for putting people inside the meetings or entering meetings is to be improved. 

When you mute or unmute someone in Webex it causes a tone or a sound that can be distracting. For example, in Microsoft Teams when someone is muted or unmuted it is silent. When we have a meeting with 100 people the noises are too much. Webex needs to reduce the number of noises activated by using the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Webex for approximately two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have approximately 100 people in m organization using this solution.

How are customer service and support?

I have not contacted the support from Webex.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have previously used Microsoft Teams and Zoom. 

Microsoft Teams and Zoom are better than Webex, I have not seen anything special features in Webex.

How was the initial setup?

The setup of Webex is simple.

What other advice do I have?

I have seen Webex improve over the past year. My most recent meeting using Webex was good. Before Webex was the worst meeting platform I used. Every time I went into a meeting, I hang up there for approximately 10 minutes sometimes till I was inside the meeting. Zoom or Microsoft Teams did not have this issue, I was quickly inside the meeting.

We mostly use Microsoft Teams in my organization. 

I rate Webex a seven out of ten.
