We performed a comparison between Cisco Meeting Server and Webex based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings. Those are the two primary functions of Meeting Server. Most people in the company are using Microsoft Teams, so we only use Meeting Server when we have an internal meeting for all staff."
"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."
"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"It's a nice tool for virtual meetings and I'm satisfied with its performance."
"I like how Webex lets you zoom in and out on the presenter's screen. It's silly, but all the solutions have the same features, and I think WebEx is the only one that allows zoom."
"The product's initial setup is easy."
"The solution could improve by having more dashboards and enhancing the processing speed."
"It allows me to conduct meetings, share files, record events, chat, and have presentations with co-workers."
"I enjoy being able to make video calls."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are video conferencing, the integration with Outlook, and scheduling meetings."
"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app."
"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"What would make Cisco Meeting Server better is integrating it with Zoom and Teams so that you can connect or make a call through any of the two third-party solutions."
"Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."
"The connectivity can be improved because sometimes when we talk to clients that are overseas the connection is kind of poor. The video will be pixelated and we will need to turn off the video because the voice gets delayed."
"This service could be improved by implementing integration with Microsoft platforms. If you are on a call with Webex, you can get a call from Teams or Skype for Business without receiving any indication."
"There were some latency issues that could have been addressed if they had a data center in our location, e.g. the African region."
"Webex is a very demanding application, so it requires a very heavy bandwidth."
"They should work to make it simpler."
"Everybody these days uses virtual meeting solutions because we're all remote working. It would be a benefit if there were permanent collaboration spaces for projects. For example, the way Teams has its teams folders and shared locations. Webex is missing that feature, or maybe it has it and I'm not aware of it. However, it needs a permanent sharing location for when projects can get stored and can be a collaboration space as opposed to only a meeting space."
"It should be more integrated with third-party vendors."
"The UX should be more user-friendly. I know others don't like the UX because it's a little complicated to use."
