And now we have WebEx and they're trying to make a Slack competitor.
- nimbix 9y agoHad to use WebEx on a client call once. Had to install two different packages because audio was "provided by Comcast". It was the only time ever that I saw the video, but couldn't get audio, so a coworker had to update me on Slack in real time so I knew what I was watching. Horrible.
- paulie_a 9y agoWebEx is such an abomination of software I will never use it again.
- triangleman 9y agoguess what, if you use the WebEx chat program it saves your entire history in an encrypted sqlite db that you can't access after your company stops using WebEx.
- Corrado 9y agoAre you talking about the Cisco Spark chat program? If so, I can completely believe it. That thing is a piece of garbage.
- triangleman 9y agoI don't think so. It was a previous program that I guess they discontinued. The real story is that WebEx chat client was auto-upgraded to something called "WebEx Jabber" and there was definitely a server storage aspect of chats. But no plan for what to do with locally stored chats. Sucks to lose your chat history, lots of gems in there.
- heywire 9y agoI use WebEx daily and have almost no issues. That said, I work for a very large company and we have our own instance, so maybe we have something custom.
- duxup 9y agoOh man WebEx is crazy clunky software. I used it regularly for years and never got comfortable with it ... let alone that it ran in fits and starts for everyone. Not using webEx was one of the things I actually looked forward to when I lost my last job. It's crazy that would occur to me.
