    is it any better then Zoom?

    • +7

      no

    • +2

      Far better, based on my experience with both

    • +2

      garbage signup process compared to zoom, but once its up and running, its better than zoom

    • +3

      Dread having to use WebEx. I've even had WebEx's with Cisco and they were struggling hearing each other. Was on the verge of asking them to swap to Zoom. Not saying there's not a combination of conditions that makes it work well - but after trialling WebEx, Hangouts, Zoom and Skype Business, Zoom was the only one that wasn't frustrating.

      • +4

        WebEx is much better than Zoom, GoToMeeting and Skype when setup correctly. The TP units are awesome as well.

          Toilet Paper Units?

          • +3

            @John Kimble: i love my Cisco Toilet Paper, licensed per user per wipe per month

      • I agree but I found hangouts meet a very close second to zoom. Hangouts meet integrates really well into Google suite.

        • I've heard Hangouts has improved a bit since the 2 years ago we put all four through their paces.

        Infinite upvotes. I just don't understand how this mistake gets made. Listen to what you're saying and spell it that way.

        • Sorry, bit triggered :)

    • Not even close - Zoom was established by an ex-Cisco employee because he knew Cisco video conferencing software is known to be a colossal turd in the industry. The only people I've known who pushed Webex are individuals who are employed to help support the "Cisco ecosystem". Users will do everything they can to avoid using Webex in particular - Cisco simply doesn't understand what users want.

  • I think there's a delay in receiving the verification email to actually sign in and use the product - I tried signing up last night and again now, and nothing's come through

  • +2

    does webex have the server capacity to support this?

    • +3

      I sure hope so because we use this for work frequently, even more so now people are isolating. Let's hope they know their capacity.

    • +4

      does webex have the server capacity to support this?

      Cisco wouldn't put this up if it didn't.

      FYI: Cisco Webex Network Status page.

      As someone who uses it for work every day.. It's only semi reliable even when you're paying a lot of money for it.. I wouldn't expect much from the free version. If you don't have any other option though… yay?

    May I also add this: Obtaining an Emergency COVID-19 AnyConnect License (duration: 13 weeeks) (hardware support: Classis ASA 5505 to 5585 only)

    • People use ASA at home?

      • +1

        It's so a company can stand up an ASA VPN head-end so you can VPN from home to the company.

        Cisco's offering anyconnect licensing which works on all Cisco ASA and Firepower hardware platforms.

        • So, this is for a company that owns an ASA/FTD but isn't currently using it as RA VPN Gateway? If no previous business case for AnyConnect, why not just set up OpenVPN now, and keep it?

    I've signed up to WebEx last week (on 17 Mar) and I'm pretty sure the free personal account already has

    • Unlimited usage
    • Supports up to 100 participants
    • Offers toll dial-in

    Still ended up uninstalling it and moving to Zoom because it's just what other people I need to communicate use.

    It might take them some time to activate the account:

      Yes - I did this last week and took 4 hours to configure tenant so don't wait if you need it desperately!

  • Instructions to get it? Do you just 'sign up free' or is there something to download?

  • Only support 540p because 720p would break the internet given everyone is on Netflix in HD etc?

    • I don't know HD is but my prime is in 4K. It's zooming around and absolutely viral.

    • Where did you see that? I'm sure it supports 720p.

      • -1

        Joke that if anything over 720p will break the internet. Google: EU pleads with Netflix to decrease resolution to avoid internet breaking.

  • What kind of upload speed do we need for web meetings?
    My Telstra cable has poor upload speed (1Mbps to 5Mbps) and may need to change to a better one.
    Is 100 down/40 up good enough for HD video and stereo audio?

    • I would have thought 5mbps enough for HD, you could upload a number of Full HD streams at once with 40mbps.

    • +1

      measured it today, about 8mbps for HD video, audio, and screen sharing.

      100/40 is plenty.

      i would recommend everyone use the 'dial me' or 'dial in' feature, works quite well and use the application for just screen sharing/video. prevents the audio from crapping out if NBN does choke on you

  • Best Conference tool for free!! yeah no issue running on my Cable!

  • Literally just had to use it for a work call. Was quite ass.

  • Ever since last week, dialing into the Webex meeting on 02 9037 0069 is giving you the "Congested" message.

    Today I tried 15 times to get into a meeting, this deal is not gonna help.

    • dialing into the Webex meeting on 02 9037 0069 is giving you the "Congested" message.

      Get Webex to call you instead.

      • hmm, how does this work exactly?

        • +1

          You will get a link to "Join".
          Either using an app or web browser, you will be given an option how do you want the audio to be piped in.
          If you choose phone, there's an option to enter your phone number. Once the "leader" signs in, Webex will call you.

  • This has started affecting Corporate WebEx, looks like their telephony network is choked.

  • How does this compare to MS Teams?

    • Webex teams is not really like ms teams. Besides the chat function ms teams is more like a classroom management tool with embedded onenotes, assignments and rubrics. Webex teams is more about communication with video, chat and screen sharing.

      • +1

        my work using ms teams for video, chat and screen sharing. works great and easy to use.

    Already free for vic education. Just sign in using your edumail/education and TO#.

    Used it this afternoon for a meeting with about 150 staff. Worked pretty well to be honest.
