Webex CC Review
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and ease of implementation. The solution has a great number of features built in, though they tend to be disjointed. I have been working with and selling Webex Contact Center for 3+ years. The solution is easy to administer and manage. The modern interface is intuitive and, as it continues to be collapsed into Control Hub, more seamless than other solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The disjointed nature of feature sets when involving non-voice channels is frustrating. Everything should be collapsed into a single solution and not separate (e.g. Webex Connect). Outbound campaigns can use some improvement and the AI capabilities are lacking at the moment. Some of the more advanced feature sets, included in Webex Connect, need to be made more seamless and fully integrated into the full Webex CC interface. The biggest complaints I've heard from my clients is the disjointed nature of some features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Good for telecommuting and distance communication
What is our primary use case?
It is a collaboration tool for web communication, similar to Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet.
What is most valuable?
The collaboration function is an important feature. The tool is used for telecommuting and distance communication. For example, you can use Webex if you have a global service or team that needs to collaborate online.
What needs improvement?
Clients typically seek value for money. When comparing Cisco to free collaboration tools like Google Meet and Teams, often included with Microsoft licenses, some clients, particularly those not in the enterprise sector, might prefer the free or more cost-effective options.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Cisco Webex Contact Center for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is stable.
I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is easy to manage and scale. It is suitable for smaller corporations.
I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't encountered any issues with Cisco's PAC Oracle Technical Assistance Center. They operate on a ticket-driven system, escalating problems through each service level. Until now, I've not reached level three escalation, as issues are typically resolved or tickets are closed by levels one and two.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Cisco is a strong choice and reputable brand compared to other online communication and collaboration tools.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. It depends on the complexity of the client setup, but one to two days is enough for a typical 10-15 users.
For Cisco, we handle it as a freelance setup, using an external consultant. The headcount varies depending on the complexity of the client's integration needs. A typical small setup usually involves four to six technical staff.
What was our ROI?
We find it very cost-effective because you avoid the need to travel to customer sites or other countries. With collaboration tools and online platforms, you can deliver messages, have conversations with your team and clients, and conduct presentations without leaving your location. This reduces travel costs, saves time, and eliminates expenses related to travel and accommodations.
It depends on the type of business you're running. For instance, if you're in sales or working for a pharmaceutical company where frequent travel is necessary, using online collaboration tools can save significant money. It reduces travel time and costs, potentially cutting up to 25% of your marketing or sales expenses.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Webex is delivered through both the department and distributors. The cost depends on the distributor and the complexity of the project. The cost may be lower for fully integrated systems, whereas standalone systems can vary in price.
I rate the product’s pricing as four out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
We will recommend Cisco Webex to clients who can afford the initial investment and ongoing license maintenance costs, particularly for enterprise-grade or global clients. For smaller clients, such as SMBs, we suggest alternative brands offering more manageable maintenance and license costs.
Cisco's third-party maintenance provider handles maintenance. We enroll all teams through Collaborative Services or SmartNet for support.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
