### "Cisco Jabber is a great app"

May 11, 2025

5.0

I loved using Cisco jabber. We have recently switched over and don’t find it as easy as jabber. I liked that it was an app and you could use other web services while speaking on the phone

Pros

Cisco jabber makes it very easy to use as a phone with clients without using a personal number. I like that there is an app as well and call log

Cons

I don’t have anything negative to say about Cisco Jabber. It worked well. I would like to hear voicemails in the app rather than email notification

### "Software that does what you'd expect it to do"

September 3, 2024

4.0

Cisco Jabber will certainly meet the classic need of a company looking for a centralised service for making and receiving calls. However, if you're looking for more advanced functions or higher reliability, you'll have to pass.

Pros

Cicso Jabber is a communication tool that does exactly what you'd expect of it. The calls are clear, the basic functions are easy to learn (even for beginners), the interface is clear and the impact on RAM is almost non-existent.

Cons

Using this service in a claims processing centre, Cisco Jabber was used almost daily. This is where we noticed the limitations of the tool: frequent errors in call transfers, numerous bugs when used intensively in a short space of time, lack of advanced functions (music on hold, definition of call transfer pools in the event of absence, etc.).

### "Cisco Jabber in everyday life"

June 7, 2021

5.0

I support users of the company where I work and they always speak very highly of Cisco Jabber, the Application has been improving more and more. I do conference call with it every day and I am more and more surprised, the application looks great and is easy to use.

Pros

Easy to implement software, I helped to implement the software in the company where I work and it was very smooth. Cisco Jabber is very intuitive and easily accepted by the user, you can use it on your computer and also on your mobile phone, an excellent and practical application, I strongly recommend Cisco Jabber.

Cons

The video-conference part is little disclosed when purchasing the Software. It would be a point where the marketing sector can invest, disseminate this functionality that JABBER has, so that they could get more customers.

### "Contact your customers with Cisco! "

November 15, 2022

5.0

Cisco made handling my job very easy. You can even see what call queues you are in and see call volume!

Pros

I really like how clients phone numbers are saved in the recently contacted, so if a call drops you can easily call the number back

Cons

Sometimes, Cisco can be a bit buggy and not connect to your device due to cookies or needing to restart and clear your devices cache. I am unsure why that is, but it happens occasionally

### "Instant Chatting with Jabber"

September 7, 2023

5.0

I use it mainly as a quick chat solution for internal situations, but the screen share feature is also a great benefit that has been useful in the past.

Pros

My favorite part of Jabber is the screen sharing functionality. I usually use this feature when the IT help desk is trying to get me out of a digital hole that I've dug. They can show me the steps to follow to complete the task at hand.

Cons

Honestly, the thing I like the least about it is that it runs it's start up sequence automatically whenever I restart my computer. I understand why this needs to happen so that it can run properly, it's just mildly annoying.

### "We use Jabber for both work and play in the office"

August 1, 2018

5.0

We use Jabber for corporate presence, instant messaging, chat, voice and video calls. It works seamlessly with other Cisco products. And for me, a nostalgic value which reminds me that Jabber has been my go-to messaging platform for decades, and it continues to impress and be a reliable workhorse.

Pros

Initially, I can't believe that the Jabber software we loved back in the University has been aquired by Cisco. It was pleasant news because it signals the more professional maintenance and dev for this much loved software. We use Jabber (then, and) now for our main messaging software. It is easily deployable company-wide or even to small departments and teams for a limited/specialized use case. The UI is pretty clean, lite, fast, and functional. In the office, it is easy to see Presence (i.e., who's online and perhaps ready for a chat). Now the call both audio only or with video is very reliable. It is pretty solid for corporate use. Since this is owned by Cisco, you can expect seamless integration with a host of other CIsco products you may have (e.g., we use it in conjunction with Cisco WebEx).

Cons

Well... aesthetics matter a lot to me.. and Jabber, although has been refined a bit, still needs a more modern look and feel (especially now that there are tons of other messaging platforms available). Just a note though to keep backups of important conversations (e.g., in chat). I have had experience when my old messages got deleted when I leave a chat group.

### "I use Cisco jabber everyday for meeting, chatting , sharing snapshot,sharing screen with Colleagues."

July 20, 2018

4.0

In my daily work life, I discuss my issues , make a call, sharing screen while doing my problem. I can easily talk with any of my colleague with this and share my screenshots of issues and bugs easily with different people. With this, i can see client or colleague's screen to view their issues in better way. I can share my instant status with someone while i am on the call or in the meeting so someone not disturb me while busy work. I can create the group whenever i need to call my colleagues for my achievements sweets or discuss about the good news with them. Share the emoticons with them and let them know my instant mood. Moreover, i can arrange meeting with clients and ping to them for urgent meeting if he/she is available on the same time.

Pros

We can share screen with client and colleague's system with this and ping to anyone which under Cisco connection. We can create the common group , sharing screenshots , use different emoticons etc with this. It helps a lot to us in our daily work. This is simple tool, the laymen also use this with simple way.

Cons

The most least thing about this is which happed to me many times that while meeting with client it automatically disconnected. And also Cisco jabber delete the history messages which i think it worst thing. Sometimes we need to see old messages but for some time stamp it delete the messages. If it stores all the history then it would be lovable.

### "Cisco Jabber a great collaboration tool"

April 28, 2019

5.0

Integration of Cisco Jabber with Microsoft Office is great and helps in to fetch the meeting details from Outlook calendar. The Android Auto integration is great. The Multi-line allow the user to receive and call over multiple line with complete details of line being used.

Pros

Cisco Jabber is a great collaboration tool. User interface for instant messaging and desktop screen sharing enhance the user experience with its enrich features and functionality like popup notification for instant messages. Newly added emoji in Cisco Jabber 12.0 looks more interesting that add expression to your words. We can manage the group in our contact list. The group chat auto join is a great feature that helps to join the group in case you are not available to accept the group request. Jabber bots can launch the chats and calls.

Cons

We are using the Cisco Jabber from past four years. The search panel for chat is a missing feature and needs to be added. Cisco Jabber should also work on encrypted backup and archiving chat options. It also needs the features to hide the images under chat and should enable the image share on group chat. Groups should also come with history feature.

### "Something best to use for chatting!!"

October 12, 2018

5.0

I am happily using cisco jabber from last 3 years in my office. And I am very satisfied with the features and its intelligences. Thank you cisco jabber team, you people have done excellent work.

Pros

It's has excellent intelligence of framing all things related to chat in a single window like: 1. It shows all the person name whom you have chatted in a column left side of display and at the same time it also shows number of messages that people are sending you. 2. It memories all messages in one to one message form. So user can read it later if needed. 3. It provides the feature to create chat group to discuss anything with many people at a time. 4. It provides the feature to share screen with other user and give read/write access which very useful for corporate sector. 5. Jabber has given many commonly used status like: Available, In meeting, do not disturb, offline..etc and also has feature to customise status. 6. It has excellent features of showing you notifications when particular person becomes available on jabber. 7. It has features to save chats.

Cons

1\. Sometimes screenshots sent on jabber gets deleted.
