Come on splunk, get on Webex already…

@18c people who say Webex doesn’t have an extra special version of threaded conversations are weird. There’s no issues with threading.
Give it up already.
@12f not only does slack already have threading, it's better than webex because you can actually stick within a thread instead of each reply you do closing the thread. i've got so many instances on webex where what starts out as a thread suddenly becomes a totally disjointed conversation in the main body and then becomes its own second thread until someone falls out of the thread again. threading should just be removed entirely from webex, the bad implementation it has is honestly even worse than no implementation
Webex is sh-t, I worked on Webex for 4 years .. but slack is not great either .. in fact both are fighting to be shittier ..
@10n Slack has threading. Has had it for a long time.
@mr Webex is fine, not great. But devotion to slack is more cargo cult behavior. Its messaging and threading is often cited as a lacking feature that Webex has.
It’s about rowing in the same direction and if you’ve been at Cisco long enough, acquisitions get streamlined. The company you joined won’t be the company you leave. We were never family, but we all sink together.
@by I was acquired at a start up by IBM and they migrated us to Notes and DB2 for a big data cluster instead of hadoop.
I worked at another Cisco acquisition that used Slack and now I'm forced to use Webex.
You are spot on. Slack is leaps and bounds better than Webex. The only people on here championing Webex are Cisco lifers who haven't used anything else and want every offer to "get in line" ...without realizing that every time that happens, the offer dies on the vine because of Cisco's asinine red tape and policies.
Yeah, the mandatory auto-subscribed to rubbish is very annoying.
My biggest beef with Webex chat is the lack of the up arrow to edit the last line.
Every other chat tool has had it for at least 2 years.
@d7 I basically collect all of the stupid Webex bots like Pokémon.
why, just so Splunkers can be auto-subscribed to channels like "Office Of Jeetu Patel" or "Real Deal Survey"????
Unsubscribing is like playing whack-a-mole...Cisco turned Webex into a forced junk-mail conduit
Splunk and Webex … two things that are about to get dumped from the portfolio?
Splunkers are clinging to every last shred of “culture” they have left after making their way through the Cisco shredder. Welcome to the collective. Resistance is futile!
Webex is not intuitive!
It’s missing simple things like threads, emoji catalog, integrations, markups (for the people who are saying those exist in Webex - please for the love of God, where and make it easy to use like slack) …. Huddles - waaaaayyyy better than Webex.
It’s the equivalent of having to use Lotus Notes at IBM.
It all boils down to revenue from webex . Less revenue leadership doesnt put more people nor more features . With AI hopefully they might add more features
@a3 there are no Webex improvements, and definitely not on the messaging side of Webex anyways.
You move to it, you are f'ed. Plain and simple. Ask the teams who moved and they will tell you about it. They dont even have good integrations.
Slack is mad, it’s a hurricane of sh-t that comes at you at gale force.
Hate it.
They will make you resign.
Burp. Too much splootch.
Any team that has to move from Slack to Webex at Cisco is setting themselves up for a rude awaking. Crazy how little attention leadership puts into Webex improvements with table-stakes-level stuff like messaging.
