Webex review

Webex is the strongest enterprise option on this list for teams that want meetings, calling and events from one vendor. The free plan allows unlimited meetings of up to 40 minutes with 100 attendees, plus whiteboards and local recording. Webex Meet, at $144 per user per year, or $12 per user per month, extends meetings to 24 hours with 200 attendees, adds 10 GB of AI-powered cloud recording, an AI Assistant, closed captions and live polling and Q&A by Slido. The Suite plan adds a business phone number and domestic calling, and Enterprise reaches 1,000 attendees with FedRAMP authorized security. Optional add-ons cover call-me audio and real-time translation into over 100 languages. Webex asks more of its users than Zoom or Meet: there are more settings, and the app is aimed at organizations with IT teams. Cisco also offers 6 months free when you buy 5 or more Meet licenses, which helps small teams test it properly.
