Magdalena Teodorczuk - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers great audio and video quality for virtual meetings
I like the instant messaging feature in the product since I prefer to use the chat functionalities provided by the solution. It is easy to integrate the product with some of the other solutions in the market. I rate the integration capabilities of the product a ten out of ten. The product's user interface is user-friendly. I use the product at a personal level, so I can't speak about the support it provides for the maintenance part. I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.
Bryant Carthan - PeerSpot reviewer
It integrates well with our learning management system, but the break-out rooms are a little rough around the edges
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Video conferencing to hold virtual meetings helps to prevent employee displacement, where everyone can now enjoy the comfort of their own offices."
"A good option for virtual meetings."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"It has benefited my organization because I can use it on the phone, I can use it on a laptop, wherever I want. The communication channel is very easy now and I can call and chat. It's experienced. Together, my team manages everything. It's very easy."
"It's a good product, we like using it."
"The Microsoft tech support are very good. They get back to you. I log a support call, and I usually have someone on the phone within a half an hour, so it is pretty good."
"The solution is scalable and is capable of working on every appliance on every operating system."
"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."
"During meetings, the feature of closed captioning, scripting, and recording was convenient for keeping minutes and making available the information discussed to review meeting minutes. Also to keep track of all the agreements and discussions during those meetings. It worked well with our email systems and other communication services integrated into the functionalities."
"We appreciate how Webex integrates with our system. When an employee completes a course, Webex documents it and updates the employee's training records."
"The most valuable features for me are its stable connection, user-friendly interface, and screen-sharing files. Cisco's support is also very valuable."
"Installation was straightforward."
 

Cons

"Skype for Business is good for the PCs with higher bandwidth, but an improvement is required for low bandwidth usage."
"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."
"We need a feature where you can virtually raise your hand to silently let the presenter know that you have a question."
"We overcame the audio quality issues by asking users to use the 'Call Me' feature with their desk phone."
"There are some issues with stability during phone calls. Sometimes the connectivity drops, and it is frustrating."
"Sometimes Skype is slow, and we cannot use other elements of our devices while using the Skype solution."
"The stability could be improved."
"The tool needs to have a dynamic file updating feature, so people you share a file with could update the file dynamically, all at once, all at the same time."
"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."
"The features I think can be improved are integrations with third-parties; for example, Microsoft 360 and other shared folders."
"It would be nice if there were more integrations available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We had a license for every one of our users to use Skype for Business. The license we used was part of an overall Microsoft license package."
"It may be slightly costly, but the features are awesome."
"It may be considered costly for certain markets, such as in India."
"Previously, I did not use another solution."
"I am using a corporate account for which I have not made any payments."
"Skype for Business' pricing is reasonable."
"To realize value from the purchase of Skype Business, you need to take advantage of all the important functions of the program."
"We purchased an open license."
"Pricing is very competitive because it didn't change much since they were already in the market when other players came in."
