"The most valuable feature is VoIP because it gave us the technological independence required at the time."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"A good option for virtual meetings."
"The GUI is very user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"Making calls and having meetings is easy."
"The calling features are most valuable, especially now as we are working remotely."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"This solution needs better mobile support, with free apps integration for Voice Communication."
"Sometimes the connection crashes, which is understandable if you are traveling. But, it would be nice if this could be stabilized somehow."
"The stability could be improved."
"We would like to better customize our instructions within the Outlook plugin/invite, but we are unable to do so."
"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."
"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 solution requires deployment on a Microsoft server and its performance is heavy because it consumes too many resources from the RAM."
"Sometimes Skype is slow, and we cannot use other elements of our devices while using the Skype solution."
"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."
