Skype for Business Scalability
The scalability is quite good. We are quite happy with its ability to expand.
There are 5,000 or 6,000 users. Everyone uses it. We were all working from home and we had to communicate, and, therefore, we used Skype for Business.
View full review »I have never thought about the scalability aspect of the product, as it works fine for me without any problems. I believe that it is a scalable solution.
I rate the solution's scalability an eight on a scale where one is not scalable and ten is very scalable. The scalability of the solution can be improved.

Skype for Business is scalable.
We had a license for every user, but the majorly of the people who do meetings, are not so many. We would have meetings for all the staff, and approximately 80 people would attend. However, on average 20 to 30 people would often use it during meetings.

Alfredo Chavez
Director Of Information Technology at Multitech Soporte Profesional IT
I work for a company that has been around for more than seventy years in the market, and we have been operating for five years since we changed our company's name. However, our business now has seven lines of business. I am focused on business development, so I am looking for solutions that help me quickly carry the company to a very good position and achieve good results. Hence, I am looking for new solutions with artificial intelligence. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Apart from me, two more people in my company use Skype for Business. To increase the usage in the future, I am looking into other solutions.

The tool is highly scalable. We use it on a large scale. We have a couple of hundred users. Almost 50% to 60% of the users’ time is spent using the tool.
View full review »I've never had the chance to really scale it. I can't speak to how well it can expand.
We have about 1,000 people using the solution right now.
View full review »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.

Owner at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
Our IT team would handle any scaling that needs to be done. It's not something I have direct experience with.
We have about 20,000 users on the product in our organization currently. Everybody uses it, from the accountant to the CEO.
The number of employees has remained fairly stable for a long time. Right now, they're just maintaining it at the same user level. We haven't had any recent growth. I have no idea if we'll increase usage in the future.
View full review »I'm not sure about the scalability. I don't know how easy it is to add users, for example. That's handled more on the company side.
We have about 350 at the company using the product.

Principal Engineer at Dell EMC
Scalability is present in Skype for Business, e.g. you can use it to participate in one-to-one chats, and you can have a call with multiple people on it. If you have an organization with 3,000 people, you can manage it very nicely on Skype for Business. The tool can also scale from 10,000 to 20,000 users. It's a scalable tool.
View full review »This is a scalable product. We have approximately 500 users. We have managers, three administrators, engineers, and developers that use it.

We have limited employees, so we've never really experimented with scaling the solution. I can't speak to how easy it would be to expand the solution.
We have about 900 users on the solution right now.
We use the solution quite often. It's used on a daily basis.

Manager, Quality and Process Excellence at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
I would rate scalability average because I have found that there is an upper limit to the number of people that can be added to a conference. I'm not sure whether it is depending on the license that my organization has, but I do find that scalability is an issue in a large conference scenario.
It is used across our organization, with close to 15,000 or 16,000 users.
View full review »It has excellent scalability since it integrates with all sectors of the company. All of our needs are met.

Automation Systems Developer at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
The solution is pretty scalable. You can use it across the company, and certainly within IT. Since everybody's working remotely now, with COVID-19, I think it scales quite well.
Even when you add people, it's still easy to manage many multiples people in a single meeting
I don't know how many people in our company are actually on it at this point. I imagine it's quite a few, however, I'm not sure of which departments that are using it, or if it's been deployed across the board.

The meetings can easily be expanded. Once you have the link you can push it, even in a WhatsApp group, to have all of your invitees become part of the meeting. The typical meeting for me is about 30 people.
