"It has benefited my organization because I can use it on the phone, I can use it on a laptop, wherever I want. The communication channel is very easy now and I can call and chat. It's experienced. Together, my team manages everything. It's very easy."
"Video conferencing to hold virtual meetings helps to prevent employee displacement, where everyone can now enjoy the comfort of their own offices."
"The deployment is very fast."
"I have found Skype for Business to be stable."
"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."
"The integration with Microsoft Outlook for creating and scheduling meetings is nice."
"It saves trouble, and it saves us time."
"Using this solution has helped us to cut long distance calls, as well as video services from third parties."
"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."
"The solution should improve the chat and add more flexibility to make a call."
"There are some issues with stability during phone calls. Sometimes the connectivity drops, and it is frustrating."
"Skype's overall connectivity functionality or ability is one area with room for improvement."
"I feel bored with the look and feel of the tool, so it should be changed."
"Microsoft Teams, as I see it now, is more useful than Skype for Business."
"There are not many options, in terms of some other third-party integration."
"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."
"I would like to see an updated user interface and layout even though no functionality is missing."
