Cisco Webex Teams: 🥵
If you were not forced to use it, you don’t know about this product. It is primitive than IRC in feature offerings. Cisco devs, how much love does this product get? Why do you think the product hasn’t matured enough compared to any other in this space?
Our team uses it. It has improved quite a bit in the last 2 years, but, no where close to what slack does. The biggest gripe I’ve is there is no concept of threads like what slack supports. Integration with outlook calendar and the ability receive calls on your phone for work number and dialing in to a meeting from teams app are a few of the good features. Oh, it does not let you go back and edit messages just like I did for my post 😀. I think it will catch up features it is missing.
I doubt it. Every time I talk to someone in that BU, they seem to think they’re doing a great job and defend the design decisions, while dismissing the need for any missing functionality.
☝🏽- exactly how it feels as an end user. I have a theory that most of the customer feedback they got or are getting, are from existing enterprise Webex customers who just upgraded from Skype, skipping Microsoft Teams. These customers feel so liberated that they are shy of asking anything new.
Threads are in beta now, I use it every day. So are message cards, buttons, etc
Great to hear! Would be an interesting system design interview question - how would you handle message rendering across different client versions?
How can a get a beta version of Teams?
Heard the GM Sri doesn’t know how to fully scale.. might be problems at the top?
This is a big investment for Cisco as they try to get their Cisco Phone Customers onto to Webex Calling. Teams is ultimately becoming the softphone element of that product line but you’re correct the chat portion is lacking. If you live in a Slack like environment daily, Teams will drive you nuts. If you’re regularly on the phone, virtual meetings and using chat here and there- it’s leaps and bounds better than previous, multi service solutions.
@op now you can see the app it got all feauture that you mentioned it's better than the products you compared
Thanks for the hard work. The integration with Cisco teleconference actually works really nice. Real talk - competitions are far ahead though in terms of features ... I use free slack for a user group I run, for my personal notetaking needs I run a Zulip server on DO. So have some first hand experience comparing things. Hoping to see more exciting features are come soon ...
Can you please name few feauture that are missing in WebEx teams that are in slack I take it as a feedback and work on it .
This product survives because it's the only one that can handle big meetings. (> 12 people) Otherwise no one would ever use it.
Zoom cal handle more than 30 at a time. It works lot better than webex
Good to know. I've only used WebEx, Hangouts, and Slack video
