Webex Calling functions primarily as a cloud-based communication platform, often replacing traditional on-premise PBX systems for organizations seeking enhanced collaboration and reduced infrastructure costs. Reviewers frequently deploy it to support mobile and remote workforces, facilitating internal and external interactions across diverse teams and locations. In TrustRadius reviews, its strong integration capabilities with other Webex tools and third-party applications are a significant advantage, with 40% of reviewers highlighting seamless connectivity. Users also frequently commend its ease of use, high call quality, and robust security features like end-to-end encryption.
Emerging positives include its scalability and flexibility, enabling efficient deployment and multi-device access. However, some reviewers express concerns regarding limited integration with certain directory services and platforms like MS Teams, a point raised by 20% of users. The user interface and setup process are also sometimes described as complex or in need of modernization. Overall, reviewer sentiment indicates Webex Calling is a reliable and secure solution for unified communications, though specific integration and UI aspects could benefit from refinement.
Pros
Seamless integration with other Webex tools and third-party applications (e.g., Microsoft Teams, MS Azure)
High call quality and reliable performance for clear and uninterrupted audio
Robust security features, including end-to-end encryption and compliance
Cloud-based platform offering flexibility, scalability, and reduced infrastructure costs
When a user wants to join using multiple devices. For example, my laptop headset is broken so I like to join via video on my laptop, but then also join via my phone so I can use my AirPods. However, Webex’s content sharing ability is the best. Much easier to use than teams.
We recently replaced almost all of the physical phones with Webex Calling across campus. It was a building by building phase in as part of the "Next Generation Voice Services" project here. The basic business case was that management of the physical phones was getting unwieldy and expensive, and a more sustainable solution was sought. Since every full time employee is supplied an enterprise managed computer to which we could deploy a digital solution, it seemed a natural progression.
Pros
Has clients for multiple platforms and devices
Uses existing network connections instead of hardwired phone lines
Client can be consolidated with other communications methods (Slack, Zoom, Chat) in one place
Client is simple to use
Client integrates with remainder of physical phone system for special cases (university main reception number, for instance)
Handles call routing to different locations well
Integrates with existing computer audio (for instance, Apple AirPods)
Cons
Settings area is a little confusing
We occasionally have voice quality issues, but this may be local infrastructure
Integrate contacts list with directory servers
Likelihood to Recommend
It seems quite able to handle the normal day to day voice call requirements quite well. Our previous Cisco phones had cameras that could do video calls, but if we need that we go to a Zoom session. Conference room use is not terribly convenient, although this might just be a case of us figuring out how to adapt the environment.
Our business uses this application for daily meetings, educational courses and remote work messages. We utilize Webex Calling as a means to keep in touch with our local and global contacts. It allows professors to teach remotely and students to attend class even if they are sick. Webex Calling proved its use especially during COVID when the campus was shuttered for almost a year.
Pros
Federated messaging
Uninterrupted calling
Provides cost savings
Cons
Combine the Webex Calling and Webex Meet applications
Allow for skins for user personalization
Allow contacts to be added without your contact list
Likelihood to Recommend
Our call centers would benefit from this so we would not have to supply a desk phone nor would we need to worry about timing, VPN timing. We can load this on any laptop and send them home to work.

Webex Calling was initially used as an external communication tool. With Cloud comms evolving, Webex Calling took a fair amount of time to evolve and we ended up going to Zoom for our primary external communication needs. Webex Calling was also integrated with our call conferencing bridge, which was a good asset.
Pros
Integration with mobile devices
single number reach
Integration with the remaining Cisco portfolio.
Cons
UX improvements
Limited integraton with other tools
The Webex mobile app (vs using native calling) is not very good.
cost managment (voice usage)

if your organization is in a 100% cisco environment, going with cisco Webex Calling makes sense - you can even profit from higher discounts and saving from the enitre portfolio. Especially with the move from legacy on-prem licenses to cloud alternatives. If oyur organization is not a cisco house, you have better options for UC tools.

I personally feel that it is one of the best calling solutions available in the market. The Cisco team helped us save thousands of dollars by making efficient connections between teams. We use it for internal connections as well as our customer support team is also using it to talk to the customers.
We are using Webex Calling for many years in our organization. Ours is a multilocation business with wide range of product and services in power/EPC domain.

It can have facility for some AI optimizations
Good transcripting
Likelihood to Recommend
Very well suited for multilocation meetings with wide no of participants. Less suited if all individuals are joining separately. We face MPLS bandwidth issues in later case.

It is a very flexible cloud calling platform for every business with easy implementation and high quality standards. Webex Calling is a cloud powered application very popular among remotely working employees.

It has the support and recognition from Cisco, a trustworthy technology partner.
I use Webex Calling to collaborate with my team in different offices. I use it on the laptop but also on my cell phone, it provides the same number where people can contact me.

We use the Cisco WebEx calling solutions to make some outside calls. So it depends on the purpose in the future we need to do, but mainly we used it for day-to-day call and some meetings, audio calls also.
Pros
The integration of the Microsoft Teams clients or Cisco WebEx clients and it's easy to use because all is an interface and we don't need to know the WebEx calling feature because you can find it directly in the parameters of your application. So it's good way for the end users who don't know exactly what is the Cisco WebEx Calling product is. He can find easily the old parameters you need to want to change or something like this.
Cons
From my point of view, it's for the meetings parts with the ai I think lot of things will change because I see some examples in CiscoLive lot of features will be increased, the possibility capability and the reliability of this tool. So I think that in few next months we'll discover a lot of new features and lot of things can be able to help the end user on day-to-day usage.
Likelihood to Recommend
For the global meetings with lot of peoples and the sum is done automatically. It's a really good tool to do that. By this way you win some time, you save some time to make the reduction of the summary meeting so it's a good tool to do it.
