“Cisco collaboration products are my favorite for all business scenarios, such as interaction with colleagues who are far from the company or in different departments. Customers also ask me for a faster way of communication, and I offer them communication through Webex and they gladly accept.”

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's our main chat application and video call application. It solves communication problems. It helps us get summaries and recordings of our calls. It also enables us to establish channels for communication between groups and be more transparent with our messages. Additionally, I have been using it lately to screen record explanations and share them with others, as it has a platform similar to Loom, and it has been excellent. I think they need to add more functionality to it, but it's a nice addition to a robust application.

Pros

AI integration.
Video calls.
Chat Channels.

Cons

Screen record messages.
AI for writing.

Return on Investment

Time on app.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is our primary used meetings solution with thousands of meetings run daily. We also used it as our primary solution for Webinars, with hundreds and at time even thousands of participants. Apart from this it is our single corporate supported calling solution for making internal and external calls. We're currently running a mix of on-premises Communication Manager systems and Dedicated Instance Communication Manager systems, with a few offices using Webex Calling Multi Tenant. The simplicity that these systems integrate is simply outstanding.

Pros

One application that can me used for all functionalities with the combined ability of meetings, calling, messaging and connectivity to devices.
Provides an easy and intuitive way of collaborating with peers and has the ability to use threads with-in one communication.

Provide same status and diagnostic information as Jabber had would be an added bonus.
