The reason I ask is because no-one in collab will tell me. Makes it very hard to sell to my customers as they always ask!!!

I worked on the Cisco Collaboration team and handled the metrics for SPARK. As of March 2017, there were approximately 80,000 SPARK licenses (Worldwide). Out of the 80,000 SPARK licenses, there were approximately 54,000 Cisco employees signed up for SPARK, which left approximately 26,000 SPARK licenses for all customers (globally). Cisco gave away these licenses to Enterprise customers for FREE, in an effort to expand the business and get customers hooked on the products. It was a failed attempt. Customers did not see the value in purchasing "SPARK", as the competition offered better products and services for a fraction of the cost.
There is John, and Bob, and...anyone else?
When I search the internet "Cisco Spark", all I am able to find are cisco.com URLs and a few paid ads. I have yet to find a "believably organic" discussion with any mention of Cisco Spark.
Serious though now guys!!! How many companies using cisco Spark?? Microsft Teams has been out months and has 10000s of people on it.
@PGjbwUT-hbq Spark isn’t the problem, it’s all the idiots posting their jibber jabber.
Spark is a sh!t platform at best. I hate they make us use this crap which hurts productivity. It's like a never ending stream of vomit with zero organization.
they should have bought slack for 500M when they were served to us on a silver platter, but cisco exec hubris and stupidity stood in the way...

Does the six users include Cisco?
There is a rumor circulating about a spark/windows phone partnership in the works
Cisco Spark is a turd.
Actual paying customers? With actual money? I'd say probably none.

In some recent pvt with partners, Cisco just rationalized that spark is catering the new type of I.T Manager, where features have to be fast and plenty and quality is not the major thing (wonder who these guys are, since this seems retarded). However this seems to be mostly for the U.S market In the rest of EMEA they halted spark call completely and seem to be positioning spark as a webex replacement, and sticking with the rest of the collab portfolio they already have.
