Skype (the personal edition) is a free web meeting, video conferencing, and VoIP software. The free version includes audio and video Skype-to-Skype calls, ability to call mobile phones and landlines, paid international calling, and conference calling capabilities for up to 25 people.
Skype offers similar communication features as Viber, but Viber is more convenient as it uses the phone number as contact details. So instead of having to remember the user id, you just need to add your business partner's contact number and you have their viber already. Al, o …
Skype has UI problems and makes the fun elements such as emojis and gifs hard to use. Slack is a good communication tool but has again less fun elements and is more work-oriented so it doesn't contribute a lot to a fun working atmosphere. Whatsapp was never even in the game …
Better pricing than Skype. Skype has a better platform. Skype really excels in terms of video conferencing capability, the quality of image and the platform is clearly better than Viber. Viber and Skype have been in the market for a while, yet no one relies on Viber for video …
I have compared Viber to Skype in the past, and there are two main differences I see. First, with Skype, you are not limited to calling only other Skype users (this limitation exists with Viber). Second, Skype's call quality almost always wins, which I believe is thanks to Skype…
Skype's user interface is really glitchy and doesn't provide same functionality in terms of fun elements - emojis or gifs. Slack is excellent communication tool but as well doesn't provide fun elements as Viber does(emojis, memes, gifs and more). I should also mention that …
It's faster than all of above, better for cross platform communication and unlike the above examples (Skype for Business and Slack), not directly tied to organization. Its other alternative (not listed on TrustRadius) is WhatsApp, which, in my opinion is a copy of Viber. Viber …
End-to-end encryption scrambles my messages and delivers them as a scrambled code to my friend's device, whether mobile or desktop, so that only their device can decode them into plain text. If my friend's phone is turned off or they don't have access to the internet, my …
Before Viber, we were using Slack. Our colleagues were using Slack only at work. But Viber is used for personal needs too. That is why we switched to Viber because we can reach to our colleagues anytime and from anywhere.
We evaluated Whatsapp and Line as 2 other tools alongside with Viber and finally decided to go ahead with Viber since we found Viber's call quality especially on international calls to be really clear and much better without any disconnections or static when we compared it with …
While comparing these two applications with the Viber, I would say, the main advantage of the Viber is that it is very widely used in my region unlike other two. Otherwise, the functionality and other stuff are pretty much the same, while I slightly go for the Viber's voice …
When trying to video chat using other apps, and the call is breaking, after switching to Skype, usually the call/video quality is better. In comparison to UnerConference, uberconference has web client (no need to install software). Also has conference rooms, where you can log …
Skype has a way better user interface, which is considerably more convenient to use. Obviously, compared to the competitors, Skype stands out as more professional software, which is supported on a lot of devices on different operating systems. As for me, Skype is also more …
At first I used Viber but I found some issues with the desktop version. The desktop would become very slow while loading Viber and I did not get good experience of it while using in desktop. So, I switched from Viber to Skype and I am satisfied with its performance in both …

Chose Skype
Skype was much more intuitive than Viber or Slack under all the different aspects - it worked better, it had a faster system, the quality of the calls has always been much better overall. After a couple of trials we all decided to stick to Skype and I would recommend this …
