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.
Currently our main number to our company rings in on the Webex app, which we run on iPhones. We also use the Webex Calling app on our telepresence devices, on computer. So it allows us to be mobile as we travel. We can get all those business calls.
Pros
I have the collaboration. It allows us to see our meetings, place calls, as well as receive our voicemail. And we can also communicate with other team members with the chat feature.
Cons
I don't have any at this time.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think it's well suited for SMBs where they may not want to purchase hard phones. It gives customers the option to download the soft phone on their computers or business issued cell phones.
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 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)
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

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. I highlight some key features such as video meetings, virtual meeting room, file sharing, messaging and white boarding. 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. The application also allows me to chat to my colleagues and share files. I can transfer my meeting from the cell phone to the meeting room seamlessly.
Pros
Setting up the meeting
Sharing screens
Recording and transcribing
Cons
Being able to share files
Improve the launch time of meetings
One click exit from meetings
Likelihood to Recommend
Being able to join calls remotely, and then transfer it back to laptop when required. I can use the application to communicate to others using team chat and also share files. The collaboration feature is top notch, I get huge productivity improvement using the it across the different teams in multiple offices.
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.
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.
We use Webex Calling for collaboration between different teams internally and also for making calls to the outside world. It is a very good service from Cisco with wide variety of calling related features that are needed by any modern day enterprise. The customisation available with Webex Calling is very vast and it rides on Cisco's cloud infrastructure making maintenance very easy.
Pros
Internal calling can be done by searching user in directory or by dialing short code extensions for users. Pretty quick and easy to reach internal people.
Webex Calling integrated seamlessly with call recording solutions making it very useful for compliance call recording which is needed by customer service centres today.
Features like call forwarding, call transfer, conference, voice mail, etc are available.
User authorisation for different types of calls is available.
It provides basic call centre features as well so that companies requiring basic call centre features can use it within Webex Calling.
Cons
Webex Calling supports limited codecs that are generally accepted all over the world but it would be good to see if they add transcoding support.
The local gateway option is designed more for on premise PBX communication. It would be good to see if it is developed more as a local PSTN breakout where local SIP trunk or local PRI is terminated.
We would like to see more of the dial plan features like CLI manipulation, translation, etc.

Webex Calling is a cloud based enterprise grade calling solution backed by Cisco's strong collaboration expertise. This makes Webex Calling a robust solution as compared to other players in the market. It offers vide variety of calling related features to make the user experience rich and satisfactory. Enterprises which requires strong collaboration for its people working in office or remotely from home will benefit a lot from this cloud calling solution.
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.
