Cisco Webex Room Phone Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are currently in the process of evaluating the Webex Room Phone for wide deployment in our organization. We are/work looking to identify a device that can be used for in room audio, content sharing, and collaboration for small (huddle) to medium conference rooms.
Pros
- Easy device monitoring and management
- Great audio quality
- Great mic coverage/pickup for small to medium rooms (huddle rooms)
- Built in wireless share capabilities
- Webex Integration
- Consistent user experience (compared to other Cisco room systems)
- Can be used with other platforms
Cons
- Wires are bulky (lighter weight HDMI would be beneficial for a cleaner install)
- Far end video (possibly a future enhancement?)
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are already using Webex and Cisco room video systems, the Room Phone is a fantastic option to enable audio/meeting functionality in small conference rooms and huddle rooms at a very reasonable cost. Audio is fantastic and installation is simple. With split registration capability, this device can meet most, if not all, requirements for these rooms and could even be used for private offices and home offices, a definite value as work from home becomes more ubiquitous.
