"I like the fact that it opens up your video conferencing, and, in many cases, the audio at the same time."
"The product's initial setup phase is very 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."
"This service could be improved by adding some missing features. It lacks integration with Teams, which is a feature I would like to see in the next release."
"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."
"Skype for Business is not stable."
"Whenever someone is using a messaging platform, the messages needs to be stored. In Skype for Business, the message will not be seen later on if you're not online. It isn't useful, in my opinion."
"I feel that the whole look and feel of Skype should be improved, including its user-friendliness. It should also improve its scalability."
"I would like to see an updated user interface and layout even though no functionality is missing."
"There might be some invitation issues with Skype for Business."
