It's well-suited for daily/weekly meetings with the teams, and to explain the detailed design of the projects. Also, to host various remote training sessions for new hires. To record the prototype design working model in the laboratory.

The other advantage of the product is that you could use it as a conference system as well as a screen for your PC. So I'm working with three screens and one of these screen is the Desk Pro, so I do not need another screen. So it's saving space in my desk and it's high quality. So this is the plus function.

  • It gives the added function of having multiple lines we can set up called pickup groups or music on hold, so that way it best suits whatever facilities need to have. We can set that up and it works for them on different types of phones. We also have, since Covid, everyone has gone home to work from home and we have our knock who needs to reach out in case of anything. So they needed to have VPN capabilities. So our older models of the 7942s have VPN capabilities for them to be able to also work from home.

  • Training Center, Event Center, and Support Center are separate products from Webex Meetings which should be one
  • Mac Outlook Plugin has some issues while syncing
  • Google calendar synchronization seems to be an issue while using it as clients do have google suite on the business side

The device it self is incredible, but not allowing us to plug a computer devices such as mouse & keyboard direct in USB ports is a penalty. We'd like to bring up the laptop, open it, and start working.

I have not had to use support yet as our use of Webex Desk Pro is so new, but all the questions that I have had have been answered with such promptness and clarity that it is clear Cisco has a passion about this device and about providing high quality in all that they do. Their support is top notch and you will never need to fear when reaching out to them.

Don't get me wrong we have purchased less expensive webcams for employees, but I asked for the Cisco Desk Camera for myself as the options and features it has are far better than the others. I just wish they were a bit lower cost so we could get more of them installed.

The Cisco Desk Pro is better than Poly Studio and Neat Bar with its AI-driven video and audio enhancements, cross-platform compatibility, and integrated 4K display with whiteboarding. It doubles as a collaboration hub with USB-C laptop connectivity and strong enterprise management tools. Overall, it delivers a more complete, professional experience out of the box.
