The only issue that I have faced so far is learning the program. Being a new admin with 8x8 X Series, you have a lot of questions and need help figuring stuff out. They have great customer service. Every page on the admin portal they have a chatbot. When you need help you can click on the chatbot and right away you are either directed to helpful documents or a customer service rep.

It is best suited for video\audio calls and meeting use. you can easily connect to the meeting with an ID or your laptop and also share content easily in a couple of ways. It's less useful for large-scale meetings as attendees seem to get lost as their video can get shrunk or hidden offscreen.

Cisco Webex Board Series has great UI. It's very compelling to use. Touch controls are great and have never had any trouble navigating. However, screen mirroring can be laggy sometimes and frame drops are seen quite often while mirroring. Overall it's a great device to use with many useful features and optimized UI.

It's honestly hard to tell since we haven't had many hiccups, if any at all! We have used Webex support for other situations and it was great, but for the board itself, we only had one issue, when we received it, a pixel was broken and Webex replaced it. Fair to say they lived up to our expectations.

Comparing the interactive displays from Avacor, GoTo Meeting, and Zoom Workplace, it is possible to note that Cisco Board Series is equipped with AI and has the integration opportunities. Although many other displays provide touch capabilities similar to those of the Cisco Board Series Pro, this one has the NVIDIA AI chipset and the two camera setup for attendees. Other factors that informed the adoption of the product include this regarding the ability to link with other meeting solutions as well as the integrated sensors for environmental monitoring.
