I first used this application about a year ago, during that time the tool was buggy. most of my teammate experiences delays and log in issues. After a few months, all bugs were fixed and now the tool is good and does deliver up to expectation. There are times when the tool is slow but it is manageable. Overall, I can say this is a good product. There are better options but this is good as well.

My overall experience with Webex Suite has been positive, especially due to its reliable performance, strong audio & video quality and seamless integration with Teams. While the platform is feature-rich, the setup can feel a bit complex, but overall it provides a secure environment.

Mattermost is a remarkable tool for conducting instant messaging and live chat. I have been using it for four years now and everything works perfectly apart from the lack of built-in video conferencing capability.
