(1-25 of 51)WebEx Webinars Review
- I think it was very easy to join the conference. I think it's very intuitive. The connection quality was very good. I rarely had a bad connection. Usually it's when I have a very spotty internet, good capacity to lots of people get on.
- I think I've run into issues where it needed to update the app right as I was connecting and that was delayed me a little bit. I think that's all that really comes to mind right now. Otherwise it's been a good experience.
- I very rarely have any issues with connection stability or media not interfacing well with the software.
- It is very simple to access; I usually have a link that is able to be embedded into an email.
- Webex Webinars has an intuitive UI as an end user; it is simple and straightforward.
- Webex Webinar delivers well to the end user; I have no complaints.

Meet Me Halfway with WebEx Event Center
- WebEx Event Center is tightly integrated with Outlook, Cisco Jabber chat client, and our LMS for seamless event creation and management.
- WebEx Event Center allow the user to easily control the options for each event for a quality presentation and interaction with the audience.
- WebEx Event Center supports several audio options including VOIP and allows us to record meetings.
- WebEx Event Center recordings are stored in a proprietary file format that is not easily converted to modern video formats. Storage limits are costly.
- WebEx Event Center requires a browser plugin to launch events, which can difficult when using a corporate managed device.
- The WebEx Event Center portal could be more intuitive to navigate and use.
