Spark allows us to deal with problems in real time across long distances. I really like the desktop app as well as the mobile app. I like being able to tag specific people in posts I create and I like being able to create specific group to chat in. Of the three communication software programs we use (ShoreTel, Slack, and Spark) spark is easily my favorite. It is the easiest to use and has the best UI.

Drawbacks:

There's nothing a completely hate about the software. It works very well and I have not real complaints. The only down side to me is that you can do the same things with many other products including on free social media sites. Overall I think it is worth it to have a specific tool to use at your work site that you pay for. I would recommend if you are at a large company making sure you all get on one software program to communicate. Right now I am using at least three depending on who I am communicating with and it's very difficult.

Summary:

We can communicate with our entire team instantly from many locations.

The best thing about Cisco Spark is that it allowed us during the panthemia, to continue collaborating with co-workers, customers and suppliers without any inconvenience. On the contrary, it has given us many tools to keep our work active.

The only thing against me is not being able to send a voice message from the computer using the microphone. Yes you can from a cell phone, but it would be very useful from the computer.

The experience I have with Cisco Spark is excellent. It has expanded the functionalities and tools that we had with Jabber, since being registered in the cloud, it is not required to access our Data Center using VPNs. Also, in this way I have in a single application, all the necessary functionalities to collaborate with whoever needs it. It's excellent.

Cisco is a big name for a reason. In the short time that Spark has come into the fold the cash injection is obvious in the strides of changes and enhancements that have been made in the last 6 months. Premium tie-in products like Spark Boards are very neat (albeit expensive)

Features were practically non-existent a year ago. Features such as thread-based replies, emojis, things that are very common place among most IM tools in the market now. Make no mistake the things mentioned are in the tool now, but we're still talking about a rather new product in its current inception that is very segregated in an increasingly conjoined world. With things like Microsoft Teams and popular products such as Slack its tough to argue this product in place.

If you are already in the Cisco environment, or more importantly the Webex environment, this tool makes a lot more sense. This tool overall is rather niche; the big upshot as previously mentioned is that it is growing rapidly. There is a small pool of developers making an effort and the crazy tie-ins like the Spark Boards that allow seamless screensharing and live picture editing/note taking/digital whiteboard features are all very neat. It's just that many people are probably already using a free tool that accomplishes the same thing.

We really pride our in-person meeting styles even when working remote. Being able to schedule meetings in Microsoft and have that translate through to our chat and video tool is important. Cisico Spark although a newer tool has shown constant improvement in bringing all of the WebEx tools and features I am familiar with to a robust chat/communication tool and the SmartScreen applications. Being able to use the SmartScreens with the tool and connect, share, conference with easy is very helpful and packaged into one program.

Tool is relatively new and started with some bugs and limited features. Connection to smartScreens is highly dependent on good WiFi connections. Explaining how to create meeting invites that will sync with Spark tool has a bit of a learning curve to it, as well as initiating meetings with spark.

Summary:

Communication & Meeting tool rolled into one easy app!
