Steven Heaps in Information Technology at VCAA (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Cisco Board Series We have used a Polycom system for video calling.

Tigran Petrosyan Risk Management Specialist in Finance and Accounting at ACBA-CREDIT AGRICOLE BANK (Banking, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Cisco Board Series I did not use similar products to Cisco Webex Board, so it would be hard for me to evaluate how Webex Board Series stacks up against them.

Benjamin Bubbers Systems Engineer in Information Technology at Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG (Oil & Energy, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Cisco Board Series Cisco Webex is best integrated between all apps and devices.
