We also have Zoom softphone that we use. We also have our Cisco IP communicators, which act as just a softphone of that desk phone, but we have Zoom, and we used to have Skype for Business. So those are the ones that we've dealt with in the past. I'd rather have Cisco over the …

At first, it was picked because it could work with several other conference tools. While the Room gadgets are indeed remarkable, the Webex ecosystem as a whole is still immature and could use some fine-tuning. We looked into other options, including Cisco Unified …

Zoom UI is complicated. It has many features but it is difficult to identify the what is where. It's all included in one big screen which makes it less convenient to use. Whereas in the case of the cisco webex desk pro, it's pretty simple and convenient. The immaculate loading …

I have been using Webex Board and it simply does not fit into my room at home, where I [have mainly worked] since the pandemic. Desk Pro meets all requirements and can do the same things the Webex Board can do and more. So I don't miss a thing when I use Desk Pro.

The DX80 is no a little bit outdated. We were happy with it but needed a replacement. The Webex Desk Pro was the obvious successor. We also tried to use standard webcams with monitors. But this was hard to manage and troubleshoot. And it has a poor user experience.

The Cisco Webex Desk Pro is an advanced collaboration device that integrates a strong artificial intelligence component through the cloud, which the DX80, for example, does not provide. Cisco Webex Desk Pro also provides a superior audio system to the DX80 and advanced …

Skype has excelled in the chat feature, but when it comes to screen sharing and starting video meetings, it really falls behind Videxio. There are many times when some of our employees can't share their screens or even start meetings when logging in to out meeting room desktops …
Chose Pexip
We were with GoToMeeting far too long, but we had settled in and so many others were just as clunky and expensive. We did try Zoom, but it was more complex for the price then we wanted. Videxio is a solution we'll be with for a very longtime.

The other advantage of the product is that you could use it as a conference system as well as a screen for your PC. So I'm working with three screens and one of these screen is the Desk Pro, so I do not need another screen. So it's saving space in my desk and it's high quality. So this is the plus function.

There are many meetings that take place in our business and we also have many remote employees. Videxio allows everyone to participate and be part of a conference, which is much different than just being on the phone. Our weekly performance meeting is a must-attend event and Videxio makes it easier.

Pros
  • It gives the added function of having multiple lines we can set up called pickup groups or music on hold, so that way it best suits whatever facilities need to have. We can set that up and it works for them on different types of phones. We also have, since Covid, everyone has gone home to work from home and we have our knock who needs to reach out in case of anything. So they needed to have VPN capabilities. So our older models of the 7942s have VPN capabilities for them to be able to also work from home.

  • Interfaces seamlessly with Skype, Google Hangouts and Microsoft Teams.
  • The ability to have two content items on the screen at one time, being video of the presenters and a sharescreen, or open document, is brilliant.
  • Pexip Infinity is available as a full on-premises solution, which is great for a defence industry enterprise.

Cons
  • Training Center, Event Center, and Support Center are separate products from Webex Meetings which should be one
  • Mac Outlook Plugin has some issues while syncing
  • Google calendar synchronization seems to be an issue while using it as clients do have google suite on the business side

The device it self is incredible, but not allowing us to plug a computer devices such as mouse & keyboard direct in USB ports is a penalty. We'd like to bring up the laptop, open it, and start working.

Support Rating
I have not had to use support yet as our use of Webex Desk Pro is so new, but all the questions that I have had have been answered with such promptness and clarity that it is clear Cisco has a passion about this device and about providing high quality in all that they do. Their support is top notch and you will never need to fear when reaching out to them.

Pexip Infinity's customer support function deserves a full score for their work. The ironic thing is, I have never had to deal with them at all, which means that their entire development team is actually a support team because they have crafted a product that the client never has to talk to them about; it is just that good and works seamlessly. There are very few products out there that works as easily as Pexip Infinity.

The Cisco Desk Pro is better than Poly Studio and Neat Bar with its AI-driven video and audio enhancements, cross-platform compatibility, and integrated 4K display with whiteboarding. It doubles as a collaboration hub with USB-C laptop connectivity and strong enterprise management tools. Overall, it delivers a more complete, professional experience out of the box.

  • We were able to quickly reduce the backlog of video interview work that was stuck in queue.
  • We wasted no time searching through the 30+ other competitors in this space, many of which we had already tried, because Videxio had every thing we could not find up until then.
  • No negative impacts, in fact, because TrustRadius helped us find Videxio very quickly, we actually reduced the time it took to get our project back on track.
