Find out what your peers are saying about 3CX, Kamailio, Digium and others in Unified Communications."The most valuable features are call recording, call logging, and the stability."
"What is most valuable about Skype for Business is that almost everyone knows about it and almost everyone has it. You will be able to reach a large number of people."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quick and easy to use. It is a good tool for group calls."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Skype for Business is that it has many other tools that you can be integrated with it. It makes the meetings more interactive."
"I use the chat feature to communicate with my staff, which is very helpful."
"The solution is scalable and is capable of working on every appliance on every operating system."
"One of the best features of Skype for Business is that you can set it up on mobile phones, and you can set it up on laptops. You can connect to the tool from anywhere."
"People are now able to virtually collaborate with their staff and have a conference call. We don't need a phone line to make that conference call and we are saving on that. People are able to share their presentations. Also, they can chat using the Skype"
"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."
"We need a feature where you can virtually raise your hand to silently let the presenter know that you have a question."
"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 tool needs to have a dynamic file updating feature, so people you share a file with could update the file dynamically, all at once, all at the same time."
"There are some issues with stability during phone calls. Sometimes the connectivity drops, and it is frustrating."
"The group feature of Skype for Business needs improvement. It should also be improved for online lectures."
"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."
"I believe optimizing the solution for lighter endpoints, particularly for embedded endpoints on mobile devices, would be valuable."
