Cisco Webex DX80 - One of the best video conferencing solution for business

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm a user of the Webex platform and Cisco Webex DX80 is one of the best video conferencing systems I could find. It has it all which makes it an all-in-one design. It provided a complete package for my meeting room, from high-quality video and integrated audio to the sleek touchscreen interface and high-end security features.

The biggest problem it solved for me is maintaining top-notch security while not compromising the features and video quality. Since it's backed up by Cisco's robust security protocol, I didn't have to worry about any security breach.

Pros

  • Provides High end Video quality
  • Integrated Audio is just amazing
  • Security is top of the line
  • High compatibility with other Cisco collaboration tools

Cons

  • The deployment can be a bit easier as it'll take a pro to do that
  • The camera quality is amazing but sometimes there's a jitter
  • The support staff takes a lot of time when contacted so that could be better

Return on Investment

  • It saved us a lot of time and money during the pandemic. We had our weekly meetings remotely with the help of Cisco Webex DX80
  • It reduced our cost of physical travel and meeting setup
  • Also, the market value is still high for the used equipment so whenever you want to upgrade to a newer model, you can always sell it for a good price and shift to the upgraded model

Cisco Webex DX80 - A very top performance Collaboration Tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Cisco Webex DX80 every time I have a Webex Meeting or any other meeting over the internet. The important thing here is that you can also use it as a collaboration tool but also as a monitor to extend your desktop, for example, so cool Webex and telepresence tools. Try it!

Pros

  • Webex Meeting
  • making calls
  • Telepresence

Cons

  • Touch controller calibration could be a challenge
  • You can’t use the camera like a normal web cam
  • When you use the adapter is HDMI to DVI and if you are gone for a few minutes the display goes dark. Refresh the display does not come back on easily.

Return on Investment

  • Ability to install in minutes so you can save time installing and configuring your DX80
  • Content sharing Feaure helps us to saving money and time
  • Whiteboard and annotation help us to use it more than an endpoint device for calls and video

DX80 from the Defense Industry window

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My company is the largest company in the defense industry in Turkey. It is the flagship of the Turkish defense industry. DX80 is used by our senior managers, as a phone, as a Personal Video Conferencing Device, and as a PC monitor. So far, there have been no problems other than the conversion from Android to CE version. They cause NTP problems from time to time, but we think it's due to the firmware.

Pros

  • Successful image/video quality.
  • By adjusting the camera angle, transmitting the document image to both you and the other party in a readable way.
  • Can be used as a touch screen and also as a PC monitor.
  • Can be managed by Call Manager, TMS, VCS.
  • Easy and user-friendly.

Cons

  • In order to use the touch screen on a PC, a windows driver must be created.
  • On the web management screen, management and configuration in different languages should be provided.
  • Custom ringtone can be added.

Return on Investment

  • During the pandemic, especially video conferencing devices played a very important role. Thanks to the DX80 and other video devices, the usage rate of meeting rooms has decreased, so it played an important role in terms of health.
  • Managers and staff in different cities made fewer trips for meetings. Therefore, meeting trips decreased by 9 percent.
  • Rather than meeting in a boardroom, meetings with the DX80 saved time, one of the most precious assets.
