"You can do meetings of up to two hundred people in a single conversation."
"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"
"We like the easy provisioning of Skype for Business Conferencing."
"Desktop sharing is a valuable feature."
"We chose Skype for Business after other colleagues suggested that we give it a try. It has served us well."
"Our employees use this solution for a communal space to collaborate for organizational decision making."
"Video conferencing to hold virtual meetings helps to prevent employee displacement, where everyone can now enjoy the comfort of their own offices."
"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."
"There might be some invitation issues with Skype for Business."
"We are looking for a more collaborative tool, not only in terms of virtual meetings but also for teams to collaborate, share a document, work together, and all those types of things."
"The video conferencing quality can be improved."
"The solution has been discontinued by Microsoft."
"The solution should improve the chat and add more flexibility to make a call."
"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."
"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."
