"We like the tools our administrator can use to identify which calls had quality issues and why. This makes troubleshooting our user experience somewhat easier."
"I like the seamless integration to local telecommunications."
"The GUI is very user-friendly."
"Skype for Business is good for meetings and instant messaging."
"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."
"If one of the users has a poor internet connection, this failure will compromise the meeting, causing delays and distortions in the communications."
"The solution isn't connected to Microsoft Teams, and I feel like there is better communication on that particular solution. The group capabilities are a bit less than Teams."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"Skype for Business could improve by having a document channel or repository. Microsoft Teams has a better repository place for documents that you can share with your team. You can access it anywhere from any device."
"Skype for Business is not stable."
"The solution has been discontinued by Microsoft."
"Microsoft Teams, as I see it now, is more useful than Skype for Business."
"We have found that there is a lag because it cannot integrate with the internal landline."
