FAQs

When was Webex founded?

Webex was founded in 1995. The company was acquired by Intranets.com in 2005 and by Cisco Systems two years later.

Where is the chat feature located in Webex by Cisco?

Messaging is available in the Webex App. Public spaces are discoverable rooms where groups of employees can collaborate across teams and business silos. Users can also create private spaces for smaller Webex teams to collaborate or send direct and group messages.

Are Webex by Cisco messages private? Does Webex save private chats?

Webex by Cisco takes user privacy seriously. All messaging and file sharing is end-to-end encrypted as standard, preventing messages from being intercepted and read by people outside your organization. Webex customers can also opt-in to two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA) to further enhance privacy and security.

What is the difference between Webex by Cisco and Teams? Do Webex and Teams integrate?

Webex by Cisco and Microsoft Teams are both collaboration tools widely used by many of the world’s largest companies for internal and external users. They offer more comprehensive collaboration capabilities than video conferencing tools like Zoom or Skype. Webex enables bidirectional integrations via API, meaning its tool can run inside other apps, and other apps can run in the Webex tool. One example is enabling Webex Messaging directly in Salesforce. Microsoft Teams only supports one-way integrations, meaning MS Teams users can’t access their Teams account features from within other applications and tools. Webex Meetings does integrate with Microsoft Teams, and users can initiate Webex meetings within Microsoft Teams channels.

Does Webex by Cisco have eDiscovery capabilities?

Cisco Webex Control Hub is a central management and auditing dashboard for Webex by Cisco that feeds some eDiscovery systems. From the Control Hub, admins can add or remove end users, assign roles and view analytics reports. Using the reports provided in the dashboard, legal, security and compliance officers can conduct some eDiscovery investigations in Webex. Information such as user session data, meeting content and bot activity is available, although for the most insight admins must upgrade to Pro Pack for Control Hub. With Aware, administrators gain even more insight into Webex Messaging and can perform faster, more efficient eDiscovery with federated search capabilities, automated notifications and Machine Learning (ML)-infused workflows.

What are the benefits of analytics and data from Webex meetings?

Analytics from aggregate user activity in Webex can provide the business with valuable insight into the topics and themes of most concern to the organization, the root cause of shifting sentiment among employees, and insights into areas of risk and noncompliance. Businesses can also use metrics from Webex meetings to evaluate their data usage and retention strategies.

What data is collected from Webex meetings?

The data collected during Webex meetings, webinars, and Webex Calling depends on the settings and configurations of the specific Webex instance, but may include:

  • User data such as name, email, phone number, and profile information

  • Meeting data, including meeting attendees, transcriptions, uploaded files, whiteboard content, and poll results

  • Performance data like hardware, OS, app version, and troubleshooting and diagnostics

Are there data and privacy concerns businesses should be aware of?

The precise user privacy concerns will depend on the jurisdiction and settings in use by the business. Those with EU employees or customers may be required to manage data in relation to the GDPR, while US-only companies may be bound by CCPA/CPRA and similar legislation. Typically, employees have no expectation of privacy in company-owned tools, and individual user data may be surfaced in response to legal requests or internal investigations. However, organizations should carefully consider how to safeguard the rights and privacy of each employee within Webex while meeting their business needs.
