"The simplicity and ease of use are the most valuable features. It's so much easier and quicker than writing an email to someone and waiting for them to read it."
"I like the fact that it opens up your video conferencing, and, in many cases, the audio at the same time."
"It is very powerful and stable."
"Lag-free video communication and virtual meeting software which runs smoothly."
"The tool alerts us when there are issues with our Kubernetes environment, such as excessive container usage. This allows our operations team to quickly identify and address these issues, reducing the time it takes to resolve them."
"Overall the quality of the solution is very good."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with multiple products."
"You can configure whatever you want in great detail."
"The video conferencing quality is better than that of other solutions."
"I am completely satisfied with the tech support."

"Make it user friendly."
"Lacks a zoom-in feature for whoever is presenting."
"The video conferencing quality can be improved."
"The technical support from Microsoft needs to be improved."
"Skype for Business could improve by having a document channel or repository. Microsoft Teams has a better repository place for documents that you can share with your team. You can access it anywhere from any device."
"I would like to see an updated user interface and layout even though no functionality is missing."
"There are issues with the bandwidth, particularly for external meetings,"
"The solution can improve by adding a smaller version for small business usage or for personal use. The solution is geared towards larger companies and enterprises."
"I think Webex could be improved by simplifying the process. For instance, they could make it easier to join meetings by providing a direct meeting link without requiring sign-ups or logins. While security is important, finding a balance with user-friendliness is key."
"The only thing it maybe needs is a chat."
"Webex's stability could be improved."
"Webex's Bluetooth functionality could be better. For example, I use Webex on my Android mobile phone and connect with Bluetooth. It connects, but I cannot speak through the Bluetooth microphone and earphones with Webex. It's always disabled. I don't know why."
"The solution could improve by having cross-platform compatibility. For example, if you wanted to have a call with someone with Microsoft Teams you could do it with Webex. Not everyone wants to use the same virtual meeting application."
"The solution at times is not stable."
"To make Webex more competitive, I would suggest lowering the price and providing some of the same features that are in Teams or Zoom."
