Chris Biemans - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior ICT Consultant at CGI Inc

The initial setup is straightforward and it didn't cost me much time to learn, to understand how Skype for Business can work with something else, for example, SAP.

I rate the solution's initial setup a nine on a scale where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

The deployment model is a corporate version which is used within corporate organizations.

Skype for Business was simple to implement, but it was a little more involved than Microsoft Teams.

The solution's initial setup was complex, and I rate my experience with the setup as a three out of ten. Additionally, the installation process took approximately one to two months from start to finish.

When it comes to deployment, some of our clients use online services, but in cases where their location is very far away from civilization, we may need to disconnect those services. In such situations, we may need to replicate some forms or data and then synchronize them back in the office.

Regarding the initial setup process, if one is an expert, then the process is simple.

The initial setup of the solution is difficult, but it's because of some limitations my company has regarding security issues.

I'm an end-user so it's just a single, click-through process. I believe my client's company has several thousand users. if you're with a company, the software is deployed for you, otherwise you do it yourself.

I wasn't a part of the initial setup of the solution. I don't know if it was complex or straightforward. I'm just a user. The IT team is the one that sets it up and configures everything for us. I also can't say if the process of deployment was fast or not or how long the process took.

Installing Skype for Business was easy. We installed in 10 years ago, and we use it like a phone. We call our friends who are abroad, e.g. instead of using international minutes in our mobiles, we use Skype as a technology to call our colleagues. Installation was easy, and its available on mobile and on the computer. I installed Skype for Business myself.

I don't know about the time taken for the product's installation process since my company's technical team managed it.

The product's installation phase was easy.

I think that one of the technical team members was involved in the product's installation process.

The solution is deployed on the devices in our company.

The implementation of the solution was handled before I came to the company, so I didn't participate in the initial institution. I don't know if the product has a straightforward or complex setup.

I believe that deployment took place under the supervision of another team.
