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."
"It's a good product, we like using it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I think Skype for Business is scalable. However, I believe Microsoft is discontinuing the Skype platform altogether, so I don't think it's super-relevant."
"The deployment is very fast."
"The security seems good."
"Making calls and having meetings 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."
"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."
"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."
"If one of the users has a poor internet connection, this failure will compromise the meeting, causing delays and distortions in the communications."
"There are not many options, in terms of some other third-party integration."
"We overcame the audio quality issues by asking users to use the 'Call Me' feature with their desk phone."
"I believe optimizing the solution for lighter endpoints, particularly for embedded endpoints on mobile devices, would be valuable."
"The cost of Skype for Business has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Teams, as I see it now, is more useful than Skype for Business."
