There are two types of rooms in both Zoom and WebEx. For this comparison, I am leaving it out as it will be like comparing apples to oranges. WebEx Teams acts more like Slack where you can manage channels and initiate calls, text, and share files. WebEx also has Call Me feature, which means you will receive a direct call when its time for the meeting.Ĭreating an account is easy with Google and other social media sign-on options in both. No need to get familiar with a new tech just to join a meeting now. WebEx does one better here by allowing users to join a meeting using any “any Cisco or standards-based SIP video device.” Skype is a good example. WebEx also allows joining meetings without signing up, but like Zoom, you need to create an account when hosting a meeting.

WebEx has two versions: WebEx Teams for collaboration and WebEx Meetings for conferencing. That requires an account, and you need to add your contacts before you can send invites. Things are different if you want to host a meeting. The on-boarding process cannot be simpler. Just download the app, enter the code you received via message or link, and join the room. You don’t need an account or sign up, unless you want to host meetings.

Let’s see how these two apps fair against each other and why you should use WebEx even after Zoom released a host of updates.
