More PGi GlobalMeet Pros →

"A valuable feature of Webex is that it's good for direct communication. In general, I'm satisfied.""The ability to join by phone is the most valuable feature. I also think that it's much simpler to use and it's a Cisco product so I think it's the industry standard.""A valuable feature of Webex is that it's useful for virtual meetings and similar webinars.""Seamless integration with Microsoft Outlook.""I have found the most valuable features to be the high quality of the video and the audio. Additionally, the graphical user interface is good and it is easy to use.""What we like about Webex is that it is a hosted solution, so there is no demand for us to invest in hardware, skill, or manpower to maintain our cloud meeting capability.""One of the most valuable features of Webex was that it was easy to use and there were no hassles.""I don't think Zoom has anywhere near the features and functionality of Webex."

Cons
"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."

More PGi GlobalMeet Cons →

"Price is a little high.""One area that could use improvement in Webex is the connection speed.""It would be great if they had a directory that you could consult for the meeting dial-in numbers.""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 licensing could be a bit simpler.""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.""I was in a meeting on the free version where there were no controls. You couldn't mute somebody or put it in dedicated speaker mode. It was an important meeting, and because of the lack of an ability to control who the speakers were, we got a version of a heckler. Well, it wasn't really a heckler per se. It was just somebody who thinks they know everything.""The solution’s pricing could be improved."
