Product Description

Webex Events (formerly Socio) powers flexible, end-to-end virtual, in-person and hybrid event experiences—from multi-track conferences to tradeshows to networking events.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Event professionals trust Webex Events to power their event programs end-to-end, on a single platform. Our Event App (#1 on G2) is the most customizable on the market. Choose from over 1,000,000 icons, specify your colors, layout, and titles to match your brand.

Want happy sponsors? Banner ads, splash screens, and sponsor rooms are great, but if sponsors don’t understand actual event ROI, they are unlikely to partner again. That’s why we gather attendee touchpoints across your event lifecycle so sponsors have a real view of event ROI.

Webex Webinars is a scalable webinar platform that can create engaging and impactful experiences for everyone, from small sessions to massive global audiences. Manage the stage and content that your audience sees before, during, and after the event. Let attendees listen in their preferred language with live interpreters included in session. Dive deeper into topics or encourage connections with breakout sessions.

What do you like best about Webex?

Working on both the site and in the field office, it’s tough for me to stay connected with my team. Webex really helped solve this problem , I can join meetings even when I’m on the go and share updates in real time. It keeps everything organized, even during busy days on-site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webex?

Webex is a really good platform, but sometimes it takes a bit longer to load chats or reconnect when the signal drops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webex solving and how is that benefiting you?

Webex helps me communicate better with my team, especially when I’m not in the office. Whether I’m on-site or traveling between projects, I can still attend meetings and give updates without delays. It’s easy to use, even for someone like me who’s often in a rush. The layout is simple, and everything I need is just a few taps away. It keeps things running smoothly even on busy days.

What do you like best about Webex Events & Webinars?

Webex Events makes the experience for both panelists and attendees incredible. It features multiple tools for sharing content and interacting with the audience without interruption (Slido), which enrich the events we host. Not to mention how easy it is to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webex Events & Webinars?

With the change in look and feel they made, I have nothing to mention that I don't like about this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webex Events & Webinars solving and how is that benefiting you?

Over the years, the company has grown significantly and expanded to several countries. One of the company's pillars is internal communication about how we're doing quarter by quarter. Explaining and sharing this information to more than 500 people at the same time is very complex using conventional meeting platforms. Webex Events allows us to hold this event quarterly, seamlessly and without interruptions, yet still allowing us to maintain interaction between each of us and our CEOs.

What do you like best about Webex Events & Webinars?

Large Audience Support: Can host thousands of attendees (up to 100,000 with Webex Webinars).

Presenter/Panelist Control: Organizers can assign roles (host, cohost, presenter, panelist) and control who can speak or share content.

Registration and Invitations: Supports attendee registration, including custom questions and approval workflows.

Q&A and Polling: Facilitates real-time interaction through moderated Q&A, live chat, and polls.

High-Quality Audio/Video: Optimized for high-quality streaming and content sharing (presentations, screen sharing, videos).

Recording and Analytics: Events can be recorded for on-demand viewing, and detailed analytics are available for attendance and engagement tracking.

Branding Options: Customizable registration pages and event emails to match your organization’s look and feel.

The customer support is outstanding—responses typically come within 30 minutes or less.

The platform itself is incredibly user-friendly. Even team members with no prior experience have been able to log in and navigate confidently within minutes.

I use the platform multiple times a month for a variety of events, and it’s seamlessly integrated into our regular event schedule. It’s brought a much-needed refresh to our previous virtual event format, enhancing both efficiency and engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webex Events & Webinars?

Small meetings or team collaboration (better handled by Webex Meetings).

Highly interactive sessions where all attendees need equal participation (again, Webex Meetings or other collaboration tools would be better). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webex Events & Webinars solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing Large Audiences Effectively

Without the right platform, hosting thousands of attendees can be chaotic. Webex Events supports high-capacity attendance while maintaining performance and control.

Lack of Structure in Virtual Presentations

Many platforms struggle with managing roles during large events. Webex allows clear role assignments—hosts, cohosts, presenters, panelists—ensuring the event runs smoothly and professionally.

Limited Engagement Tools

Keeping attendees engaged virtually is tough. Webex addresses this with integrated Q&A, chat, and polling to promote interaction and feedback in real time.

Cumbersome Event Registration

Manual or disorganized registration is inefficient. Webex offers customizable registration with approval workflows, making it easy to manage and track attendees.

Branding Inflexibility

Many platforms offer generic experiences. Webex lets you customize event pages and emails to maintain your brand presence.

Post-Event Follow-Up Challenges

Without recordings and analytics, post-event impact is hard to measure. Webex provides both, enabling on-demand viewing and insights into attendee engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Webex?

The ease of using the platform. Kind of like Zoom, but a lot easier to navigate. Easy to connect and collaborate with others on this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webex?

In some business meetings, when someone posts a link for everyone, instead of pinning the links automatically, they continue to scroll down as the conversation in chat proceeds, which causes you to miss a lot, having to scroll back and find a link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webex solving and how is that benefiting you?

I often use this platform when joining interviews or attend office meetings when working from home. It helps me to collaborate with my team with ease as well as obtain shared visuals by my peers and instructors. Has amazing video quality and rarely has issues for me for the most part. It does however tend to lag a bit after sending quite a few links through group chat during a group video meeting. Some of my peers were even booted from the call altogether having to re-login to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Webex?

Webex has a clean interface and offers useful features like screen sharing, breakout rooms, and meeting scheduling. The integration with calendars and email platforms is also convenient, and when it works properly, the video and audio quality can be decent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webex?

The platform consistently suffers from lag, connectivity problems, and delayed audio or video—even with stable internet. It takes a long time to join meetings, and the app often freezes during screen sharing. These issues disrupt collaboration and make meetings inefficient. Compared to other tools like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, Webex feels less reliable and more frustrating to use. Customer support is slow, and performance updates are not frequent enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webex solving and how is that benefiting you?

At the moment, Webex is not effectively solving any problems for me. Its performance issues, frequent lags, and connection problems create more obstacles than solutions. Instead of facilitating smooth communication and collaboration, it often delays meetings and reduces productivity. I’ve had to rely on alternative platforms to get reliable results.

What do you like best about Webex Events & Webinars?

The amount of customization that Webex Events allows me to do for all of my different events. This allows me to flex my creativity to tailor each event exactly how I envisioned it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webex Events & Webinars?

Not allowing my participants to cancel their registrations on their own. This creates additional work for me for something that could easily be automated with a click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webex Events & Webinars solving and how is that benefiting you?

Webex Events allows my customers to manage their events all in one place versus many individual apps or tools. As well as having a tool that's loaded with so many features to create unique events each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Webex Events & Webinars?

Webex Events offers a perfect balance between simplicity and powerful features. I had the opportunity to organize a straightforward event and was impressed by how intuitively I could tailor all available options to my needs. Everything, from registration to live interactions, was easy to customize without requiring advanced technical skills. The platform’s reliability and flexibility made the entire experience stress-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webex Events & Webinars?

While the overall experience is excellent, the platform is not fully optimized for organizers accessing it via an iPhone. Some functionalities are harder to manage on mobile, and it feels better suited to desktop use. Additionally, I encountered a small bug related to the Purchase of Tickets badge. The support team was responsive, quickly opened a ticket, and assured me they would inform me once the issue is resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webex Events & Webinars solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes it incredibly easy to organize and manage events without requiring complex technical knowledge. It solves the problem of setting up a professional, interactive event with minimal effort and ensures a smooth experience for both organizers and attendees. It has allowed me to focus more on the content and engagement rather than the logistics, saving time and increasing the overall quality of my events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Webex?

What I like most about Webex is its stability and quality in video calls, even with not-so-good connections. The interface is intuitive, and its features for screen sharing, recording meetings, and using virtual backgrounds make remote work much easier and more professional. Additionally, the integration with other tools enhances productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webex?

What I don't like about Webex is that, compared to other platforms, its resource consumption is sometimes high, which can slow down less powerful devices. Additionally, its design can feel a bit rigid or outdated in certain sections, and the automatic updates sometimes interrupt the workflow without prior notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webex solving and how is that benefiting you?

Webex solves the problem of remote communication and collaboration, allowing teams to work together no matter where they are. This benefits me by giving me the ability to connect with colleagues, clients, or suppliers in real time, share ideas, files, and make decisions quickly, all from one place. It saves time, reduces travel costs, and keeps the workflow constant and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
