Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We really like the screen sharing tool. The user experience is smooth, and user-friendly.""The deployment is very fast.""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.""The simplicity and ease of use are the most valuable features. It's so much easier and quicker than writing an email to someone and waiting for them to read it.""The GUI is very user-friendly.""We chose Skype for Business after other colleagues suggested that we give it a try. It has served us well.""The solution is scalable and is capable of working on every appliance on every operating system.""I use the chat feature to communicate with my staff, which is very helpful."

"Installation was straightforward.""It made it simple for users to join, work together, and share screens.""Webex Meeting's most valuable features are screen-sharing and remote access.""The most valuable features for me are its stable connection, user-friendly interface, and screen-sharing files. Cisco's support is also very valuable.""We appreciate how Webex integrates with our system. When an employee completes a course, Webex documents it and updates the employee's training records."

Cons
"There might be some invitation issues with Skype for Business.""There are not many options, in terms of some other third-party integration.""Skype for Business could improve by having a document channel or repository. Microsoft Teams has a better repository place for documents that you can share with your team. You can access it anywhere from any device.""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.""Skype for Business could improve the interface. It could be easier to use. Additionally, it's hard to find the people or add people you want to communicate with.""Sometimes Skype is slow, and we cannot use other elements of our devices while using the Skype solution.""The solution isn't connected to Microsoft Teams, and I feel like there is better communication on that particular solution. The group capabilities are a bit less than Teams.""I feel bored with the look and feel of the tool, so it should be changed."

"The features I think can be improved are integrations with third-parties; for example, Microsoft 360 and other shared folders.""Webex Meetings could be improved with more collaborative features and an archive of information like appointments and discussions that can be shared with everybody.""It could be more secure.""There are definitely times when the sound becomes a bit unclear, and latency is also an issue. If there are too many people on video simultaneously, the whole system can slow down. The group breakout rooms are still somewhat rough around the edges. I would like to see them improve that feature so we can have more interaction in our classes.""It would be nice if there were more integrations available."
