Pros

More IBM Cloud Video Pros →

"The most valuable features of the solution are communication, screen sharing, and collaboration.""The most valuable feature of Webex is if you are using the Cisco hardware it is simple to integrate. Additionally, it can integrate well with mobile devices.""The product improves team collaboration in our company since it integrates with Microsoft Teams or other vendors.""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.""Lag-free video communication and virtual meeting software which runs smoothly.""The camera moves in tandem with the person who is using it to communicate with the other participants.""The solution is user-friendly.""I don't think Zoom has anywhere near the features and functionality of Webex."

Cons
"They should improve the registration gateway. Currently, you can't do a pre-event registration that's straightforward. You have to do an API to integrate. It would be a lot easier if they had that."

More IBM Cloud Video Cons →

"Webex could improve the calling feature. It would be helpful to be able to call outside the IP environment.""There were some latency issues that could have been addressed if they had a data center in our location, e.g. the African region.""I would like to see more integration, with respect to some more unified communication activities.""There's some difficulty in Webex, particularly when a third party needs access and that third party is not part of the domain of the company, it could be difficult.""The base application uses a lot of resources. They could work on the performance of the application so that it's less heavy.""The WebEx interface is not as user-friendly as Zoom's. There is room for improvement there.""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.""The performance of WebEx could be improved. If you're using it on a mobile device and on the laptop, you sometimes get glitches, where you've answered the call or joined a meeting on a laptop and your mobile device doesn't quite know what's going on. It may just be technical glitches, but it seems to be a bit shaky sometimes on mobile devices."
