“I use Webex Calling for demos, customer PoCs and Lab resource, I have used the solution for almost 4 years. It is a great call control system, specially for companies that need mobility or have remote workers, this since you only require an internet connection to get the Webex Calling services.”

“We needed an up-to-date calling and VOIP solution in our offices and Cisco Webex Calling was the answer. There was a very long list of pros that made us consider this heavily before making the final decision. This works in conjunction with our current Cisco interoffice phone solution and adds lots of value.”

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have deployed Webex calling for both client communication and indoor communication purposes. It blends quite well on both sides of the deployment. The call quality is excellent, and it adjusts automatically with the bandwidth of the broadband services that we currently use. No calldrops have been observed until now. The high-definition audio-video streaming is another reason for deploying this fantastic software.

Pros

Client communication.
On site telephony.
Audio video wavelengths.
Low call drops.

Cons

Dashboard needs some improvements.
Little outdated design.

Return on Investment

I don't know as I was not involved in the purchase decision.
