This customer shares his experience on trustradius.com, "Skype for Business is behind the pack. Slow Screen Sharing in Meetings - There is often a lag on what the presenter is showing and what is showing up on the conference room screen or the screens of the remote audience. Outdated Experience - Compared to other conferencing tools like GoToWebinar, Zoom, BlueJeans, etc., Skype is behind. There is not much you can do at a conference other than screen share. It's hard to control the audience, and there always seems to be an issue. External Users - Skype is very difficult to use with external users. We almost always have to use another tool when we want to screen share with outside parties."
