"The Microsoft tech support are very good. They get back to you. I log a support call, and I usually have someone on the phone within a half an hour, so it is pretty good."
"The solution is scalable and is capable of working on every appliance on every operating system."
"I like the fact that it opens up your video conferencing, and, in many cases, the audio at the same time."
"Using this solution has helped us to cut long distance calls, as well as video services from third parties."
"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."
"I rate the solution's stability a nine on a scale where one is not stable and ten is very stable...I rate the solution's initial setup a nine on a scale where one is difficult, and ten is 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."
"I don't recall coming across any big missing features."
"Skype for Business could improve the interface. It could be easier to use. Additionally, it's hard to find the people or add people you want to communicate with."
"I venture to say that 30% of the people using this solution at our company have had issues with stability, due to the volatility and crashes."
"The solution requires deployment on a Microsoft server and its performance is heavy because it consumes too many resources from the RAM."
"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."
"Going forward, I would like to see better call quality and reliability."
"The group feature of Skype for Business needs improvement. It should also be improved for online lectures."
"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."
