    It is an awesome tool for companies that have a hybrid or even fully remote setup and where the integration with Salesforce is needed. The solution completely replaces old phone systems and adds another layer of data to Salesforce, to give an even better view of the interaction with clients, adding automatically events/activities which can in turn be used to reporting purposes.

    Skype for Business, now part of Microsoft Teams is a remote/virtual team collaboration tool must have...especially if you already use Microsoft tools. Of course, since it now part of an MS 365 subscription, it really doesn't make sense to use anything else. It is easy to use and just works. I'm not sure how anyone who works with digital files/documents and needs to work with other people doing similar work can be effective without such a tool. Of course, there are a number of alternatives like Zoom or Webex, but why pay or use another separate tool if you don't need to. :-)

    • Instant messaging to anyone who we know only by name/email. Even if they're offline, they get the message in missed convos and a notification automatically goes to them via Outlook mail. All conversations are saved and accessible via Outlook.
    • Video and voice calls are a norm in the WFH scenario, and an average employee has around 4-5 calls a day. Skype gives notifications for upcoming meetings, allows easy scheduling via outlook calendar, and its audio/video quality [is] reasonably good compared to the amount of data it consumes.
    • Status availabilities - in the WFH scenario, you could be off for lunch, out of office, busy, sharing screens - and might not want to be disturbed. Skype allows you to do that, and in case you're off, ensures that you know that you have missed messages.
    • Screen sharing - we have to share screens at least once or twice a day with a coworker when working on some issues/features, and Skype easily lets us do that. One of the best things about Skype is that the screen can be shared without being on a video/voice call - which is of immense advantage because oftentimes, you could prefer sharing the screen, while it [is] too noisy to talk.

    • For our use case, Natterbox fits all checkboxes, we're now starting to investigate the use of their AI, but that's in very early stage.

    • Connection issues can be hard to diagnose when they come up(as some knowledge of server information may be needed to reestablish as the connection troubleshooting options on the sky are not as user-friendly as the rest of the platform.
    • Some issues setting up camera/sound could use more info on troubleshooting options with playback sound, video, etc.
    • Statuses sometimes are unreliable and do not display correctly .

    The software is simple to install and configure. It is rather simple to explain for correct use. It is possible to profile users for the different functions offered. It is integrated quite completely with Outlook and with Active Directory security. It performs all communication functions well with one or more interlocutors and the possibility of granting control of your computer is convenient.

    Usability
    Natterbox
    We use the Natterbox CTI interface, seating on top of and integrated with Salesforce. The interface is minimalist, popping up as the calls arrive and bringing the Caller's details if they exist in Salesforce. The user then have the possibility to open the Caller's record and visualise the details and add notes, or make the notes in the pop-up window which will end up in the contact's record activity. Very easy to use. The routing queue interface is also very user friendly with drag and drop items that make it visually easy to read and understand.

    Very easy to use. Even though Microsoft Teams has a lot of features and integrations, as a user I feel completely comfortable on finding what I need, getting information about the app extensions and using them. It's a very comprehensive tool, intuitive design and does not make me feel tired to be using it. I am glad with the current experience.

    I have only had to reach out to the Support team at Skype for Business once with an issue, and I was pleasantly surprised and encouraged by the quickness and thoroughness of their response. The wait time was short and my question was dealt with politely and clearly, so I would say the support team has it together.

    Skpe for business is utilized company wide in regards to my company. Everyone not only uses it, but uses it often. It is an effective way of communicating. It also integrates very nicely with outlook and all conversation history is pushed to a folder within the outlook system. We also have it so that if someone misses a message, they are sent an email reminder saying that there is a message that went unread.

    When signing up with Natterbox, our first goal was to replace the landline phone system as Covid hit and people moved to remote work. Second goal was to have a system that would integrate with Salesforce and provide an interface that would be easy to work with and learn for all levels of tech expertise. Those two goals were only achieved by Natterbox, by far.

    • It doesn't matter where anyone is physically located now, everyone can have their calls delivered to their mobile or laptop and answer them.
    • We now have internally the capacity to manage our call queues.
    • We now have a lot of data to report on, either grouping the calls by Campaign on Salesforce, or grouping them by Inbound or Outbound calls, or by User, or by Team.

    • Skype for Business has enabled a migration in part away from fixed line telephony and introduced the user to mobile working with a headset which cannot be overstated as being a game changer.
    • Being able to schedule Skype for Business meetings through Outlook has meant meetings with colleagues without a meeting room has been a great enabler.
