"The most valuable features are the history tracking which allows us to see who participated and who didn't in the meetings as well as the integration with Outlook."
"The most valuable feature is how useful it has been for virtual meetings during the pandemic."
"File sharing and email invitations for a conference. I can have a meeting with people at the opposite end of the Earth, sharing documentation; it is quite easy."
"I rate the solution's stability a nine on a scale where one is not stable and ten is very stable...I rate the solution's initial setup a nine on a scale where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Our employees use this solution for a communal space to collaborate for organizational decision making."
"Making calls and having meetings is easy."
"CTI, computer telephony integration, is a necessary component. It must be a part of the basic code. Currently, we need to use external connectors for call centers."
"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."
"Lacks a zoom-in feature for whoever is presenting."
"I feel bored with the look and feel of the tool, so it should be changed."
"There might be some invitation issues with Skype for Business."
"There are not many options, in terms of some other third-party integration."
"Make it user friendly."
"The solution lacks to provide reporting functionality, and I would like to see the solution provide that feature."
"The challenge we had with Skype for Business was with the signing in when a user signed out and when signing in back in again, there was a bit of a problem. We switched from Skype for Business to Teams, and Teams never had that sign-in problem once we did the switch."
