Cisco Webex
Webex was founded in 1995 as a web conferencing startup before being acquired by networking giant Cisco Systems in 2007 for approximately $3.2 billion, becoming Cisco's flagship enterprise video and web conferencing product under the Webex brand. The platform built a long-standing reputation specifically within large enterprise and corporate IT environments, often integrated closely with Cisco's broader networking and telephony hardware infrastructure that many large companies already relied on for internal communications. Webex faced significant competitive pressure during the 2020 pandemic video conferencing boom, losing meaningful market share to newer, more consumer-friendly competitors like Zoom, prompting Cisco to invest heavily in redesigning and modernizing the Webex platform and interface in subsequent years. Cisco Webex's combination of its status as one of the earliest web conferencing platforms ever created and its deep integration within Cisco's broader enterprise networking ecosystem has made it one of the most historically significant video conferencing tools in corporate technology.
VS
Skype
Skype was founded in 2003 by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, the same entrepreneurs behind the earlier peer-to-peer file-sharing service Kazaa, and it became one of the first widely popular consumer applications offering free voice and video calls over the internet. Skype's early peer-to-peer technology architecture, routing call data directly between users' computers rather than through centralized company servers, was a genuinely novel approach at the time that helped the service scale efficiently to millions of simultaneous users worldwide. Microsoft acquired Skype in 2011 for $8.5 billion, one of Microsoft's largest acquisitions at the time, and the company eventually shifted focus toward its newer Teams product for both business and consumer video calling, officially retiring the original Skype consumer app in 2025. Skype's combination of its pioneering peer-to-peer internet calling technology and its historic role as one of the first mainstream consumer video calling applications has made it one of the most foundational products in the history of internet communication.
