Overall Satisfaction with Webex Calling

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.
  • Certainly when it comes to my client base, they certainly understand the benefits of the full end-to-end, Cisco stack. And when I talk about a calling platform in regards to it simply being a call from one end to another or a message from one end to another, Cisco provides so much more because it enables all that AI and I guess analytical data of which the endpoints cover. So when it comes to integrating with a meeting room experience and you're in a meeting room that can cater for up to 20 people, but say for example, only two or three people on average utilize that room, that type of safe spacing information gets transmitted into other business decisions that can benefit the business from an ROI perspective such as rearranging the interior design to create better outcomes for worker experiences. So much more than just a calling platform.

Yes

Did implementation of Webex Calling go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Webex Calling again?

Yes

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.
