Ask HN: Why Did WebEx Lose?
5 by ijidak | 1 comments on Hacker News.
With COVID-19, it seems like all of America is talking about zoom. Yet, when you read the search snippets for Zoom and WebEx, they both claim to be the "leading Enterprise solution" for video conferencing. However, it seems clear that Zoom is the real winner. And WebEx is at best a irrelevant second. The Bing to Zoom's Google. But, when I was in college from '99-'03 WebEx was the first mover and clear leader. I don't remember WebEx being terrible. And from my memory they work almost the same. Any take on what happened? And lessons for entrepreneurs?
