About Webex

Webex is Cisco's collaboration platform. The Webex Suite covers video meetings, calling, team messaging, webinars, events, video messages, polling and whiteboarding, with AI features spread across the products. Desktop and mobile apps are offered from the downloads page, and meetings can also be joined in a browser.

Cisco also sells contact center software and meeting room hardware under the Webex name, so much of the site is aimed at businesses. Individuals can sign up for a free account to use the core meeting and messaging features.

Strengths

  • Free sign-up for the core features
  • Apps for desktop and mobile plus browser access

Limitations

  • Proprietary hosted service that requires an account
