Robust security features, including end-to-end encryption and compliance
Cloud-based platform offering flexibility, scalability, and reduced infrastructure costs
In my organization Webex Calling is the primary collaboration tool, which is used for chatting, messaging, meetings, scheduling as well as calling. So it is like a basic part of our day-to-day work in our environment. Not only that, we are also upgrading our customers from on-prem to Webex Calling and also helping them use this resource better in their environment. So it's like our bread and butter. I would say it. It's part of everything that we do.
Pros
Webex Calling is really resilient.
There is a portal in case there are any issues, they are promptly handled. Before users come to know that there was an issue, the issue is already fixed. The attention that the company has in order to provide those Webex Calling services is really great. So I think it's also Cisco's focus to bring more and more customers to Cisco Webex Calling and so they are constantly improving the services as well as the app usage. And this is what I like. Cisco has its focus on Webex Calling and we see that focus in terms of their continuous effort to upgrade it and provide unbreakable service.
Cons
I like it, but there are some features that I think that Webex Calling is continuously getting added. Recently translation patents were added because it was not available and these were the features that are available in on-prem systems. So as users move to the new system, they're still used to those features, but the translation pattern has been added. Now I have to think about, I think that engineers have focused on what's missing. But yes, if all of the user facing features which are on the on-prem system, if we can make Webex Calling at par with it, then that's what my feedback would be.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's well suited for small and large and mid-size kind of organizations because your entire infrastructure is in cloud except the endpoints and you are not tied to the usage of a physical endpoint because you could just have an app on your cell phone or on your laptop and you can get resiliency anywhere. You could be mobile and you don't have a phone. I feel like today Webex Calling is compatible with all size of organizations. It is at places where the internet connectivity is not good, where we don't have a proper 5G speed. Those are the places where I think this could be an issue because Webex Calling is dependent on internet. So only the places where internet is an issue, Webex Calling could be an issue. Otherwise it's a really great solution calling solution.
Webex Calling is our sole business calling software. It is an ultimate business phone solution of all sizes of businesses and organisations. We use the product in our organisation to make international calls. The software also allows us to transfer calls to other partners and also put calls on hold. The software has cloud calling capabilities and ensures our teams stay productive from anywhere around the globe. Webex meeting automates meeting summaries and simplifies workflows by integrating with dialpad.
Pros
Seamless integration of the tool with other systems.
The software has very high quality calls and ensures comprehensive compliance and safe communication.
Difficulties in setting up is a challenge facing many of new users. Developers of the tool should consider introducing well elaborated demos.
Cons
The software has limited auto attendance options and customisation.
Delay in notification is a major issue when implementing this tool. The product is also not easy to set up and requires expertisation during installation and maintenance.
Customer support services providers are reluctant in responding to issues affecting their customers. This poses a great implementation challenge.
Likelihood to Recommend
Ability of the software to automate note taking and provide immediate access to insights and analytics. Flexibility and control of the software which ensures seamless workflows in call management. Webex Calling ensures powerful voice capabilities and very advanced communication features all in one platform. The software is able to streamline and modernize all call management workflows.
Webex is the main product which we have deployed in-house and used mainly for extensions internally and plus we provide the same services to our customers. With that this particularly saves us funds as when management team are out of country they are able to utilize soft phones which is mainly through Webex application via the mobile. In addition to that we are able to schedule meetings, have online chats with our team members, use other features like whiteboard during meetings and supports number of integrations with our environment we have.
Pros
Allows integration with Microsoft Teams
Provides easy accessibility of calls when member is on the move esp out of country
Easy to establish and schedule meetings via the application and outlook
Cons
Provide further integrations with new platforms
Sometimes during video calls despite having stable connection the voice breaks off but then voice is ok without video
Presentation lags or during screen sharing it would freeze up
Likelihood to Recommend
Mainly it is suited for businesses who can afford with the setup maybe if it deployed on the servers in-house or via cloud through any service providers. Deployment could be easy if you have resource on hand with configurations and handheld phones.
It is not suitable for SME market as the cost could be expensive for them to handle on monthly basis and plus the licensing structure for this is quite expensive therefore we cannot cover all the market points

Webex Calling created the ability to no longer need our on-premise CUCM solution and hard phones. We were able to clean up our overhead costs and datacenter costs as well as reduce the need to have phones and maintenance for the phones. We are able to easily and cleanly set up new agents with no need for provisioning hardware.
Pros
Call routing
Hunt Group routing
Phone provisioning
Calling integration with AD phonebook
Cons
Calling could integrate with WxCC better
4 digit/7 digit dialing between Calling and WxCC
Likelihood to Recommend
Calling is a fantastic solution that can take care of most any needs of a business. The only upgrade you would need is if you run a contact center style business or have a group that needs a contact center style system.

In our organization, we use Webex Calling as the core communication platform for voice calling, replacing our on premise PBX systems. We use it across multiple departments and locations to enable seamless internal and external communication via cloud based telephony. We can make and receive calls through desk phones, desktop applications and mobile devices, no matter where they are located.
Pros
Reliable call performance with high quality
Multi Device Experience
Integrated collaboration and calling with other Webex tools
Scalable across different locations
Cons
User Interface could be more modern
Occasional sync issues with devices
Whiteboarding export and sharing options could be more

According to my experience where Webex Calling is well suited is for hybrid and remote work environments. Our team includes remote employees and hybrid workers across locations worldwide and Webex Calling works exceptionally well for us. The scenario where Webex Calling is less appropriate is where the team is very small or startups that just need basic calling without any advanced routing.
As the name suggests, we use it for calling; it's really easy to use and provides seamless communication; its very versatile; it can be used on any device or OS system. The app also allows you to create and delete users with ease, and we also use Webex Calling with WebEx meetings and WebEx Suite applications.
Pros
It provides high-quality audio calling
We can easily route and transfer calls using Webex Calling
We use it with other Webex applications and it works great
Cons
The only thing I can think of is that it may not be supported everywhere
Likelihood to Recommend
Its really perfect for calling; it provides high-quality audio. The calls never drop, and it also provides all the features, such as call transferring and routing, for a better experience. It can be used anywhere, such as a PC or phone. The management and administration of Webex Callingis also very easy, so I think it's a must-have for organizations with calling requirements.
We have been working with Webex Calling for about four years so far, it is a robust and flexible solution which was just what we were looking for. Having one single app to do meetings, messaging, and video/phone calls is incredible and everything is managed through the Control Hub Portal which gives us all the privileges needed to complete and configure everything in our Webex Calling environment, features such as Hunt groups, Auto Attendant, Call Pickup, IVR and so forth.
Pros
Features like Auto Attendant, Call Pickup, Hunt Pilot and voicemail
Having recording integrated with the Control Hub portal
Integration with MS Azure to import user base
Cons
More friendly API interaction interface would be nice
More calling PSTN provider options for Latam market
Control about the Webex App version deployed in the Org ID
Likelihood to Recommend
Webex Calling is a completely advanced solution for your Collaboration environment, it has all the integrations that we can imagine and also provides a huge security and compliance layer for your Org ID, there is no other solution like that in the market so far. Messaging, Meetings, Calls, and Surveys all in a single place with one button enablement is something else.
So the benefits in regards to utilizing Cisco and Cisco WebEx is depending on where you are, whether you're in on campus or whether you are working from home. Cisco WebEx Calling enables a seamless user experience for calling messaging, collaborating, video, all in one hit.
Pros
Depending on what the persona is, as I said, if you are in a big campus where everyone is out and about within the facility, it suits that high-end architectural infrastructure base or working from home where you're just logging in via the internet and bang, you've got access to the same tools.
Cons
I think what it's doing is it is still the leader when it comes to being able to present calling platforms. And I mean I guess it's number one competitor from a software perspective is Microsoft Teams, Cisco is doing everything possible to provide open source to enable Microsoft and Cisco to work together, particularly when it comes to user room experiences so that no one is feeling like they're left alone or compromised or somewhat segregated when they're choosing one technology versus the other, which is a great thing.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think Cisco WebEx Calling as a product in its own is ticking every box as far as the personas are concerned. When it comes to obviously the background of infrastructure, heavy campus based solutions such as legacy platforms that Cisco had with call manager and HCS. That has been, I guess the gaps in regards to that space have been eroded with the addition of Cisco WebEx Calling, which means that any architecture style is supported.
