Collaboration
Cisco Webex.
The more intuitive way to work.
Established in 1995 and joining the Cisco family in 2007, Webex stands as a seasoned entity in the realm of video conferencing software. This heritage sets it apart from some of the more recent, versatile video conferencing options that have emerged, like Zoom Meetings, which garnered our Editors’ Choice this year. Webex not only serves as a standalone solution but is also seamlessly woven into Cisco’s extensive suite of conferencing solutions and hardware, such as its advanced video conferencing room systems. Opting for Cisco’s vision may come at a premium, but the robust and persuasive offerings have secured Webex our Editors’ Choice accolade for small to midsize businesses. For those considering alternatives, our other Editors’ Choice selections, BlueJeans for cross-platform video conferencing and Intermedia AnyMeeting for general SMB video conferencing, are also worth exploring.
Cisco Webex encompasses a comprehensive suite of video conferencing and collaborative tools. This suite, hosted in the cloud, includes Webex Meetings, Webex Teams, and Webex Devices, offering a unified solution for digital teamwork. Originally a combination of Cisco’s Webex conferencing platform and the Cisco Spark team collaboration application, the suite was unified under the Webex brand in April 2018, streamlining Cisco’s range of collaboration tools.
Renowned as a top-tier platform within the unified communications sphere, Cisco Webex delivers features such as virtual meetings, team-based messaging, and file-sharing capabilities. It caters to the collaborative needs of both small businesses and large corporations, facilitating group interactions from intimate teams to extensive enterprise gatherings.
The platform allows participants to connect to video conferences using either a desktop or mobile application, with a web-based option also accessible, albeit with a more extensive feature set available through the applications. The Webex service promotes teamwork through file sharing and messaging functionalities, supported across both the Cisco Webex Meetings and Webex Teams applications.
