    Pros
    Cisco
    • Cisco Webex Events is very straightforward and easy to use. Setting up an event within the platform is quite simple - anyone can do it.
    • Webex Events is a great add-on feature to the Webex conferencing platform to allow a one-way broadcast of information, rather than worrying about attendees being able to interrupt the presentation.
    • Recording a session is fairly simple and accessing the recordings post-event is quite reliable. I believe you can also upload .mp4 files into the Webex Events platform to serve as a host.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • There always seems to be room for video quality improvement (not a necessity, but would be nice)
    • Mobile screensharing from iOS/Android (and other mobile) devices would be a great feature
    • The mobile app should be able to track meetings a user has been invited to, but does not do so (yet)

    I love the control that this product gives to those running the meetings. It allows you to assign presenter roles to people and everyone else that is an attendee can be totally controlled, like whether they can unmute, use video or just sit there and watch. It really gives control of the meeting to those who are running it. And we love that ability for those meetings that we are trying to make sure people are listening in on instead of trying to participate.

    It was a good training to understand not only webinars but the entire platform.
