Find out what your peers are saying about Zoom Video Communications, Cisco, TeamViewer and others in Virtual Meetings."I like the user interface. There aren't too many buttons that the audience will have to fiddle with."
"What is most valuable about Skype for Business is that almost everyone knows about it and almost everyone has it. You will be able to reach a large number of people."
"I have found Skype for Business to be stable."
"The security seems good."
"Video conferencing to hold virtual meetings helps to prevent employee displacement, where everyone can now enjoy the comfort of their own offices."
"Skype for Business is good for meetings and instant messaging."
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The integration with Microsoft Outlook for creating and scheduling meetings is nice."
"They should improve the registration gateway. Currently, you can't do a pre-event registration that's straightforward. You have to do an API to integrate. It would be a lot easier if they had that."
"I am not familiar with all of the features or whether they can hold conferences because we use Zoom for that. But, in my opinion, if they can do something similar to what Zoom is doing, it will be a complete solution."
"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."
"We overcame the audio quality issues by asking users to use the 'Call Me' feature with their desk phone."
"We have had trouble with scalability when trying to host large meetings."
"If one of the users has a poor internet connection, this failure will compromise the meeting, causing delays and distortions in the communications."
"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 lacks to provide reporting functionality, and I would like to see the solution provide that feature."
"We have found that there is a lag because it cannot integrate with the internal landline."
