The Webex Calling service I've been using is great for making phone calls over the internet. It has many tools that have made my work and working with my team much more efficient. I really like how easy it is to use, how good the call clarity is, how it...

Call quality can be poor, picks up quite a bit of feedback at times, difficult to navigate, someone always has a hard time logging onto the call. To many options when you are sent the calendar invitation. Needs to be streamlined.
