"Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%."
"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."
"Setup was very straightforward. All I had to do was write a GPO on my domain controller and it automatically installed the agent that I downloaded from the software. I literally had to do nothing."
"Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
"It's very easy to use. Provides connections that are always on. It was nice to be able to see a list of end-points and see whether or not they were connected so I could troubleshoot any network issues I had."
"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"It's easy to dial the numbers and the process of connecting a call is very intuitive."
"The video conferencing quality is better than that of other solutions."
"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 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."
"Webex improved our overall team collaboration."
"We can access and conduct meetings remotely from anywhere using Webex."
"One of the most valuable features of Webex was that it was easy to use and there were no hassles."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"Mobile interface."
"We have had issues. We have had circumstances, for reasons we don't know, where the service will stop running, and when the service stops running that computer no longer becomes reachable. We haven't really seen that so much on desktops, but we have seen that happen quite frequently on server operating systems, Server 2008, Server 2012. You can install the product and then a week down the road it will just stop."
"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."
"For my company, just installing the software and using it is very easy. But if I need to give one of my customers access to their machines, the process that you have to go through is some 15 to 20 steps. You have to create a group, and then you have to assign a policy. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up someone for remote access to their own machine."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"We have had issues where some of the invited participants are not able to join the meeting."
"Cisco could maybe make Webex more integrated and compatible with other platforms."
"The WebEx interface is not as user-friendly as Zoom's. There is room for improvement there."
"Webex could improve the performance."
"Webex is limited to Cisco."
"The interface could be a bit more user-friendly."
"The product's user interface is an area with shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Webex's translation feature could work more accurately."
