Cisco Jabber Reviews & Product Details

Cisco Jabber is similar to the daily messaging apps which makes it very convenient to use. In addition to the desktop app it is also available as a mobile app. It is very easy to schedule group meetings through jabber and it also is integrated with the outlook calendar. Jabber also provides the flexibility to create group chats which reduces the number of team emails to a great extent. It has been one of the apps which increases team collaboration to a great extent and also increases efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the limitations of cisco jabber when compared to other business messaging and meeting solutions app is that it does not have any feature where a team can create online channel to share files. Also, sometimes we need to connect to our VPN to start with the calling and meeting functionality which can sometimes be frustrating if the internet connection is weak. Overall if a person is looking for a meeting solutions and team collaboration app where they also need to share files than they can opt for other competitors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Cisco Jabber is that it is simple and very straightforward. It almost reminds me of AOL or AIM and I would consider it to be the business equivalent of that in terms of user interface and appearance. Like other communication programs, I like you can instantly message your colleagues or associates who also use this service. My company has it set up to where every employee has an account and I can easily search from within the program to find that employee's Jabber account. One of my favorite features so far is the ability to connect Jabber to my office phone and make calls from within Jabber to customers or colleagues. This is especially helpful during the work from home situation as I do not feel comfortable calling customers from my personal home or cell phone. I also like that Cisco Jabber has seamlessly integrated with another Cisco software called WebEx meetings and with Microsoft Outlook as well. Jabber sends me reminders to upcoming meetings on WebEx which I know has saved me the embarrassment of being late to an online meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the video and audio quality could be a little better during meetings and calls. It's good but not great. For this reason, I don't prefer to use Cisco Jabber for meetings as often and opt to use Cisco WebEx meetings instead. I also think they can afford to touch up the interface a little bit. While I do like the simplicity of it, it can seem a bit boring or dreary (all gray appearance). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
