Considered Both Products
CloudCall
Chose CloudCall
CloudCall is much better and easier functionality with more options.
Chose CloudCall
Cloud Call has better integrations, much better customer service. ShoreTel is a huge and we are a small customer, Cloud Call has treated us as if we are important to them, ShoreTel did not.
Webex Calling
Chose Webex Calling
I also use Microsoft Teams for my customers that are Microsoft House, but I prefer Cisco Webex. Microsoft Teams definitely doesn't stack up against Cisco, but it is maturing. There's certain features that some of my customers use that aren't available right now in production. …

Webex Meetings and Cisco Board Series
Chose Webex Calling
Webex Calling easily stacks up against the competition because Webex Calling is all inclusive inside the Webex. Suite, unlike other companies and providers where you have to piece together. A full solution from 4 different products we've used 12 different web pages to manage …
Chose Webex Calling
Complete solution from software to hardware. A lot of feature

The main thrust of the project was to contain costs and reduce overhead for device (physical phone) management. Since we already had somewhat of an investment in Cisco infrastructure, Webex calling seemed a natural option to evaluate. I was not involved in the product …

Better features for the end users.

Chose Webex Calling
My favorite compared to the three above!
Chose Webex Calling
Webex Calling is in the top 3 of best cloudcomms solutions, together with teams and Zoom. cisco has the strongpoint of being a joint portfolio offer, where you can acquire the routers/switches/wifi together with the UC making if simpler to have just one provider to work with. …
Chose Webex Calling
It does have an advantage due to the name attached behind it, that is Cisco. Due to that it makes it more reliable and trusted solution followed by the integrity they provide us. I fell that it is the best solution available in the market so far. The features and the …
Chose Webex Calling
We have used zoom also. But for video conf needs for corporates, we feel Webex Calling is also good , a bit pricier.
Chose Webex Calling
Its less expensive than Microsoft Teams, and I personally think that the audio and video quality is better with Webex Calling.
Chose Webex Calling
Cisco has a institutional good will in terms of being a Cisco brand.
Chose Webex Calling
The Cisco video conferencing hardware is a big differentiator. It provides excellent video and crystal clear sound quality for both sides. The interoperability between the solution is important. It allows us to work with other business units that are using MS teams. The Cisco …
Chose Webex Calling
Webex Calling is developed by Cisco who has strong expertise is collaboration domain while Microsoft Teams is developed by Microsoft who is not having Cisco like expertise in collaboration. This makes Webex Calling a more robust and intuitive solution which is more relevant to …

They can both be complementary to each other.

I think CloudCall is better for enterprises that need to keep the clients and employees in contact but on a professional basis. Talking over the phone makes a person understand better as compared to email conversations and takes less time too, so, CloudCall fits the gap by providing better quality calls and gives analytics as well.

  • Integration to other applications
Read full review
  • For example, with WebEx calling, it's an offer which include many features of each on-prem server and every features are included in WebEx calling. So that's something which is very appreciated by customer because they don't have to buy each server like it was the case. They just buy WebEx calling and they have many features. Even if they don't need it, they have it and we can give them the notice to use them and they can use it and they are very happy with this software.

Cons
  • Price is a bit more so i think that should be reduced.
  • Support team remains unresponsive sometimes which makes us to hold the process.
  • Connection gets interchanged while moving from mobile data to wifi.

  • I think that there are less emojis, there could be more since other free providers also provide the same
  • International calling is a bit more expensive, could be taken down a bit
  • Virtual backgrounds aren't that much appealing as well, there is room for improvement there

The service can be intermittent and the call forwarding feature will not always work perfectly. There will be periods of time where the calling feature will not work at all and people on the other end can hear me but I am unable to hear them. It also requires a fairly strong signal which can be an issue if you work somewhere remote or a building without much service.

I've not actually had it ever be unavailable when I needed to use it. As mentioned before, a network outage would take it down, but we have redundant systems for our network connections with automatic failover.

Performance

I don't really see this impacting any other system performance at all. The client is very light use on resources, even on my iPhone. I don't know what else it connects to behind the scenes other then the campus directory, but I haven't seen or heard of any impacts. It seems fairly self contained except for wherever it interfaces with the general telephone system connectivity outside the campus.

I have been working for a long time with Cisco as a provider and also Cisco TAC and Cisco Support Engineers. The support starts right beforehand in the documentation of the product you are interested in. From the start you have a good, complete, and detailed and easy to read datasheet and there's always someone available to answer any questions.

The company uses Microsoft Teams. They do use Microsoft Teams right now and for a long time a lot of the different practices have been using on-premise, contact Call Manager and Unified Communications Express. But Cisco WebEx, the cloud-based product is one of the new ones. And some of our other site practices are also using RingCentral. So cloud calling is not new to the company. For those of us who are familiar with Cisco products, the transition to WebEx calling is not as difficult as it might be for some other products. Going from on-prem to RingCentral, there is more of a learning curve with.

So far it has been very reliable, with very little down time that was associated with the product itself. We have had network outages due to external factors such as construction cutting a fiber link, but other than that kind of thing not much for failures.

Return on Investment

  • Increased Customer satisfaction

  • Certainly when it comes to my client base, they certainly understand the benefits of the full end-to-end, Cisco stack. And when I talk about a calling platform in regards to it simply being a call from one end to another or a message from one end to another, Cisco provides so much more because it enables all that AI and I guess analytical data of which the endpoints cover. So when it comes to integrating with a meeting room experience and you're in a meeting room that can cater for up to 20 people, but say for example, only two or three people on average utilize that room, that type of safe spacing information gets transmitted into other business decisions that can benefit the business from an ROI perspective such as rearranging the interior design to create better outcomes for worker experiences. So much more than just a calling platform.
