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."I can view the status and availability of colleagues or team members, which makes it easy to approach them when they are available."
"A valuable feature of Webex is that it's useful for virtual meetings and similar webinars."
"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."
"Webex is a thin client and we like the interface. It is easy to use."
"I have found a lot of virtual meeting solutions seem the same. Some might work a little bit better, it is difficult to pinpoint a particular functionality that's widely different, they all have screen sharing and video in-voice."
"The solution is perfectly stable, it normally performs very well."
"It's easy to dial the numbers and the process of connecting a call is very intuitive."
"I like that it can accommodate larger groups of listeners. I think in my client's organization, they use Webex for meetings with a larger group of listeners. I believe Skype For Business is not preferred. I think they use Webex or their own custom platform because it accommodates more users in one meeting."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is easy to share screens, a major reason I chose it."
"The webinar should be integrated into Sametime for a larger number of participants."
"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."
"Zoom entered into the commercial space for end-users. It's more of a solution for single users for training classes or music centers and all that. Cisco is not in that space."
"The interconnectivity of all of the solution's facilities and functions can be more complex than that which is involved in basic configuration, when equipment, telephone extensions or other mobile apps are thrown into the mix."
"Performance of this platform needs improvement. There was a stability issue, particularly glitches that kept it from running smoothly."
"I would like to see additional online chat capabilities"
"Webex's stability could be improved. It crashes very often. The user interface could also be improved to be more modern because it looks outdated."
"I'd like to see a modernized user interface, something a bit more colorful."
"When it was just two people trying to conference, it was easier. But now I see there are times when many people have to be on the call at the same time. That's definitely something that Webex can help with."
