Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It was stable. So, I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.""The SpeakerTrack feature is the most valuable feature.""TelePresence allows our customers to have a quick meeting while traveling and still be effective. It saves time and money.""Telepresence's most valuable feature is keeping highly paid employees, such as executives, on the ground instead of wasting time flying around the world. So if you have the right telepresence plan and form, it's not just the video cameras and the systems behind them, it's the way you lay out your meeting room.You can have multiple offices interconnecting in a single meeting, and it looks like everybody's in the same big conference room together because the telepresence yields such a fantastic amount of clarity.""PresenterTrack cameras improve the meeting experience.""We have a dual screen option to enable video and content sharing.""The most valuable features of Cisco TelePresence are the basic standard features and the ease of use. Additionally, the configuration and integration are exemplary.""The configuration is a valuable."

More Cisco TelePresence Pros →

"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones.""I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value.""All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth.""The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions.""We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."

Cons
"The calling features can be improved.""I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, with ten being expensive. It was complex with badges and certificates. Too crazy.""The tool is expensive.""MX800 comes only with one available DVI port. A few more HDMI ports will improve the system's capability.""I was in touch with one of our clients and they mentioned that they would like to have a holographic video conferencing. It would be great if that feature would be added.""The price of Cisco TelePresence overall should be reduced."

More Cisco TelePresence Cons →

"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it.""GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints.""Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price.""The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution.""The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Cisco TelePresence license is expensive and should be reduced. There is only a cost for the license and it is annually."
  • "I will rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The pricing is expensive, therefore I rate it an eight out of ten."
  • "We used high definition, 1080p, but again, it required license purchases. For example, with three licenses (TP licenses), each allowing one 1080p screen, if I had six participants, I'd need to lower the resolution to 720p or lower to accommodate more participants. More licenses meant more cost."

  • "It is a monthly subscription and the price is quite expensive if you're not paying annually."
  • "This is a free solution."
