It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."
"I like the share information function."
"Interesting collaboration features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quick and easy to use. It is a good tool for group calls."
"It's a good and stable product that fits my needs."
"The most valuable features of Skype for Business include its persistent chat, Edge Server, Reverse Proxy, front-end server, back-end server, and business calling capabilities, among others."
"The solution’s video quality is fine."
"The GUI is very user-friendly."
"It has benefited my organization because I can use it on the phone, I can use it on a laptop, wherever I want. The communication channel is very easy now and I can call and chat. It's experienced. Together, my team manages everything. It's very easy."
"The most valuable feature is how useful it has been for virtual meetings during the pandemic."
"I like the fact that it opens up your video conferencing, and, in many cases, the audio at the same time."
"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."
"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."
"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."
"There might be some invitation issues with Skype for Business."
"We have had trouble with scalability when trying to host large meetings."
"I feel that the whole look and feel of Skype should be improved, including its user-friendliness. It should also improve its scalability."
"There are issues with the bandwidth, particularly for external meetings,"
"It would be ideal if the solution could make instant messages more permanent. Currently, if you close the conversation, you lose the instant messages that you shared during the meeting. If those could last beyond the meeting, that would be a great addition, due to the fact that frequently, people give each other key details, important information, or email addresses, etc., during the meeting. If you don't write it down during the meeting, after the meeting closes, it's gone forever. That can be quite frustrating."
"The solution lacks to provide reporting functionality, and I would like to see the solution provide that feature."
"The solution's functionality needs to be moved to Microsoft Teams. Its technology is outdated."
"The inability to integrate Skype with other products is an area of concern where improvements are required."
