We used it for group calls all over the country and (world). We are able to review all HR /Payroll issues that may arise that need a fast resolution
  • Able to connect all levels of Management
  • we are able to hold "in house " conferences from anywhere
  • connection issues is number 1
In HR/Payroll, many times we need to discuss many variations in making some immediate decisions. Skype For Business gives us a freedom to speak about them openly and confidentially.

Skype for Business is being used across the whole organization and it solves many of our communication issues. Email is helpful however the timing that we receive responses is not so efficient. especially when a quick and short response is needed. Skype is there to help us first by letting us know if the individual or individuals we are trying to contact are available and we get quick responses from them. Also, the call function and screen sharing ability helps us during meetings or even with explaining issues to employees who are unfamiliar with some of our systems it allows us to help them navigate the issue.
  • Fluid and uninterrupted messages.
  • Good call quality.
  • Video quality.
  • Login issues.
  • Differentiation in group conversations.
  • Search function for other users.
Skype for Business is very useful for getting direct contact and immediate answers from other users. From time to time you may be waiting for days on a simple answer that you sent via email, however, you can get it directly with Skype. Also, it lets you know when someone is away or busy during meetings or even presenting. Also, it is useful in sharing your screen if necessary to help someone who is unfamiliar with a particular system some times when looking for users it has its drawbacks because a ton of unnecessary users may appear.

Skype for Business is used as our internal instant messaging, meeting hosting, screensharing, conferencing, and room reservation tool. It is used across a global organization of 10,000+ employees in different business units. It's addressing the business problem of pulling together employees from different teams, instant communication, and screen sharing for people to understand what others are seeing.
  • Notifications - It is clear when you have a message on Skype.
  • Org Charts - It's easy to view a person's organization in the company directly in Skype.
  • Contact Information - It's an easy way to find someone's email, phone number, etc.
  • 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 on 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.
Skype could be well suited for a small business that needs basic chat and light screensharing capabilities. In my opinion, it is not appropriate for a large enterprise like the organization I am part of. With the screensharing lags in meetings it decreases productivity due to constant interruptions. It's always better to call in with Skype vs. using your computer for audio, but I think times are changing and computer audio will be more and more prevalent. Other competitors do this so well and Skype is behind the pack.

Skype for Business is the most used tool in communication at my company. We used it for instant messages and calls, but now we are using it more frequently in our meetings that were previously held in person. Currently, we have most people working from home and this requires a higher level of structure to have stable communications, allowing the work to continue to happen in the right way. As I work with civil engineering within a chemical industry, there are many decisions that must be made both technical and safety, which require that many people are involved in monitoring the works.
  • Video and voice connections
  • Mobile application
  • Outlook integration
  • Call redirection to cell phones
  • The synchronization of the conversation history on mobile and computer
Skype is highly recommended for companies that want to provide good communication to their employees in a quick and practical way. It is essential for those looking to maintain mobile communication when the same experience is achieved on both computers. It may not be appropriate for companies that do not want to invest (spend) money and prefer something for free. For this, there are several applications on the market, but they may not offer the same integration with computer/cell phone/Outlook.

Skype for Business is being used by my department. It is an excellent way for employees and management to keep in contact with each other. Management can monitor employee's active status through Skype. It's also a great tool for teams to communicate with one another. It is quicker and easier then sending e-mails for when casual information is needed.
  • It monitors the status of employees. It is smart enough to tell when a user is "projecting" their screen.
  • Skype gives users the ability to organize contacts in groups and limit who employees can contact.
  • Skype chat, audio, and video is great for working from home. It's come in useful during the shelter in place order in communicating with the team.
  • Skype for Business is used with Microsoft Outlook a lot. The compatibility between the two can be enhanced.
  • It has room for improvement with regards to the image and audio quality of videos.
  • More customizable features would really enhance user's experience.
I highly recommend Skype for Business to all my colleagues. The software has minimal bugs and is very simple to learn to use. It's a flexible tool and a necessity for any team to keep in contact. As part of the Microsoft product family, Skype for Business works well with Microsoft Outlook and other Microsoft products.

We use Skype for Business primarily for the chat function internally between the IT department and us regular employees. It helps us communicate easily and efficiently to get IT issues resolved. Since our company does not have a designated IT person at each manufacturing site, remote assistance is often needed.
  • Minimal bugs
  • Easy to use
  • Intuitive
  • More emojis please!
  • Add spell check
  • Sync better with our internal email
It seems to work very well for remote communication internally within a company.

I have been using the Office Professional package in the company since 2012 when I arrived in the company and we used Office 2010 where Lync had a separate installation package compared to the various Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access. Skype for Business is used by the whole company (all branches) and many users have also been enabled to make calls on telephone numbers outside the company itself. Skype for Business solves many communication problems within the company, from knowing whether the person you want to contact is active in his place, rather than out of the office on the move. The functions of messaging, sharing and remote control of the PC, video calls, conferences both audio and audio-video also with interlocutors outside the company, are the main features.
  • Immediate check on the status of colleagues (present, available, in a meeting etc ...)
  • Ability to call, video call and share one or more screens with the ability to grant control
  • It integrates with Outlook to be able to organize meetings with multiple interlocutors
  • The granting of the remote connection can be improved, perhaps automatically using the Remote Desktop rather than the implementation made on Skype for business, since they are both Microsoft software.
  • Video calls could be improved by being able to select any image quality, in order to limit internet traffic.
  • The delegations with which Skype for Business and Outlook interfaces should be improved
Skype for Business's main area is internal corporate communication between colleagues in different cities. It is like a telephone but it is used from a computer, with headphones, with the possibility of seeing the status of the colleague with whom you want to communicate, you can send messages (chat), make calls, video calls, remote assistance, meetings with presentations, etc., all in a rather simple way. The configuration and the ability to select the tools with which to communicate (speakers and webcams, rather than headphones, rather than another device on the PC) can be improved.

It helps us communicate with other employees. We use a phone line system so It makes it easy to see who is in a call and who is not. It saves us time and helps us become efficient with handling a high volume of phone calls. It also allows us to see who is here in the office and who is not since we are all located in different parts of the building. Overall a very useful office tool.
  • Lets me know who is here.
  • Lets me know who is in a call.
  • Allows me to quickly talk to my coworkers if they are on the phone but I need to speak with them.
  • The picture icons could be bigger.
  • The Skype tone should be customizable.
  • Should let you know when their line is ringing.

Skype is well suited for when you are in an office and need to know which coworkers are available and which ones are not. It lets you see which ones are on the phone or even away from their desk.

It isn't suitable for an everyday use just to chat. It isn't designed for that. It's to make the work space an easier place to communicate.

Skype for Business also known as Lync is used in all departments of my company. With this program all employees can see the current status of each employee showing them away, available, in a meeting, etc. This allows for efficiency within the company.
  • Ability to easily instant message an employee.
  • Ability to view statuses of all employees.
  • Ability to create contacts and favorites lists.
  • I don’t care for the fact when you lock your computer it instantly says you’ve been gone for 5 minutes because that is not accurate. It only shows increments of 5 minutes I believe.
  • The emojis are never updated. No new emojis.
  • I wish there was a feature like the regular Skype that allows you to delete a link you previously sent in an instant message.
This isn’t my favorite tool but it helps to be efficient with other co-workers. It’s an easy tool to figure out how to use. I prefer the regular Skype over this product but my company requires me to use this product.

Skype for Business (formerly Lync) is our internal messaging system. We use this to message between departments as well as between locations across the country. It's easy to use and implement throughout our company. It gives us real-time communication, especially if you are on a call or in a meeting. I would highly recommend it.
  • Communication
  • Communication
  • Have had issues with using the calling feature vs. just the messaging.
Linking Skype for Business (formerly Lync) through add-ins to Outlook allows us to see when others are away or out of the office. So not only can we communicate with all across departments and locations, but we can know who isn't available as well, which is a big plus in my book.

It's being used by the whole organization to communicate with one another in a very quick and professional manner. Instead of sending an email, we can chat via Skype for Business with that individual and reach them much faster when trying to get a quick answer. This helps solve the communication issues with others.
  • Quick.
  • Informal.
  • Connection issues.
  • File sharing could be improved.
Skype for Business is well suited when trying to talk to another individual very quickly. Conversations through Skype doesn't have to be as formal and one is able to reach someone in a very quick manner. Sharing some quick files is also handy when utilizing Skype. It is less suited when trying to have a more formal exchange.

We currently use it in HR in order to have virtual meetings with our other HRMs in other locations. We also use it to do training on software for HR and payroll. Our whole organization uses it to better facilitate communication with our other locations in the US. It makes it much easier to identify issues and problems with our software.
  • Sharing desktop.
  • Anyone can be a presenter.
  • No real cons I can think of.
We use it for training new features in our software. You have to be careful when sharing your desktop that only the appropriate people have access to highly confidential information. When used to train supervisors, you need to make sure they are only seeing information on teammates that they would normally have access to.

It is currently being used within our corporate environment for easy, quick communication.
  • It reduces email traffic over small questions
  • Allows for quicker response times
  • Allows better visibility of availability
  • Easier call set up
  • improved status accuracy
  • Less crashing
It's great for quick questions you need an answer to right away. Not the best for longer communications with high level of detail.

Skype for business was introduced in Fedex around 2 years ago, to replace the old Lync version, as the corporate standard communication and collaboration tool. We majorly use Skype for business to have live chat/IP call/Video call with different colleagues around the world. Sometimes we also use it to organize ad-hoc conferences with small scoped group of colleagues.
  • As it is part of the Microsoft product family, it integrates with Outlook and Office on the Windows platform quite well. For example, it detects when you're idle and sets your status as away automatically, and you can launch the chat directly from your Outlook email address, which is quite handy.
  • The look and feel of Skype for Business is better than the previous version, Lync.
  • The screen sharing feature is well done. We can quickly launch the presentation mode or directly have the control of the remote end, which makes daily work cooperation very efficient, even across the continent.
  • It is not an easy job when we try to connect with outside customers or partners who are not familiar with it, even if they install the same Skype for Business. It requires a lot of time to figure out the tricky set up before the meeting can really start.
  • Skype for Business is separated from the the normal Skype. Maybe they can be somehow be integrated a little bit, otherwise sometimes we have to have both installed and switch between two Skypes.
  • Webinar features are missing in this product.
It is well suited for those in a Microsoft Windows based working environment, with strong and centralized IT Admin team to support it. If you need send big files often (>300M), then Skype for Business is not for you, considering the peer-to-peer approach has been replaced by the client-server-client mode, so file size has limits and also the performance is not so good.

We use Skype for Business as a way to contact our colleagues in other units of our company overseas, and also our customers outside our network. With the file/image sharing, voice and video calls and the option to share your computer's controls with your chat-partner, Skype is a very good solution to shorten the distance between two continents.
  • Screen sharing.
  • Voice and video calls.
  • Text chatting.
  • It could run better on low-end computers.
  • Notification bugs have been known for a long time for Microsoft.
Skype for Business is really good when you need to set up a way of fast communication between a lot of people at the same time without spending tons of money on cellphone/internal calls. Also a cheaper alternative to other group meeting solutions like Webex or Jabber.

We use Skype for Business across the whole organization to have online meetings with people from different time zones and countries. It makes it very convenient when we don't work in the same office. We no longer need to book conference rooms. We just need to look up people's calendars. And we can share screens with each other even though we might be from different parts of the world.
  • Capability to share screens with other people
  • Mobile app
  • Clear sound
  • There used to be a bug where once you muted yourself on the iPhone app, you could not unmute
  • Connection can be unreliable when using the mobile app
  • Some people outside our company complained about not being able to download the app, and can only join the audio
Skype for Business is suitable for multi-national companies that have locations across different parts of the world, and people need to collaborate a lot online.
Skype for Business is less appropriate for local SMEs that do not need virtual communications online.

It was used across the organisation, and replaced by Zoom. We used it for conference calls and meetings.
  • A lot of functions & features.
  • Very good contacts access panel.
  • Very bulky in general.
  • A lot of functionality so confusing for some people.
  • Very irritating to close. It just doesn't let you close it, it pops up in the bottom of the taskbar again and again.
Skype for Business solves the video conferencing problems and meeting scheduling as well. A bit much to use sometimes, since it takes more time on the user interface to do even the basic stuff.

The main use of Skype for Business across the organization is instant messaging. With employees all over the world, it was a very easy way to reach out to someone. When our conferencing tool was down, it served as a back up as well. It is used by the entire organization and sped up the process if you need to have a quick answer.
  • Easy to use
  • Fast
  • Cross-functional
  • Design
  • Functionalities
  • Stability
Skype for Business is very well suited when you are in a rush and need an answer right at that moment. If the person you need does not answer your email, then you can reach out to another person via instant messenger and you have good chance to get a response.

We no longer use Skype for Business as we have switched to Zoom. In a past job, Skype/Lync was very beneficial and we did not have as many problems. However, with my current company, and Office 365 setup, I was in a constant battle with Skype. Half of the time, audio would fail. The other half, video would fail. Sometimes the phone integration would fail. It was always a battle.
  • Ability to chat (now taken over by Teams)
  • Connectivity/Quality Issues
  • Not User Friendly
  • Device connection is difficult (external mics, cameras, etc)
If budget is a severe issue, and a company already has Office 365, it may have a strength, but Zoom is still a better setup.

Skype for Business is ideal for hosting large company meetings since it allows for up to 250 participants and can be broadcast to even more people. It has great value as it is included in the Office 365 Suite and integrates with all of the Office applications. Skype for Business is very useful day to day as it is easy to setup a quick call with other members of the organization as you are able to view their schedule and status to see if they are available.
  • Integrates with Office 365 Suite.
  • Good audio and video Quality.
  • Simple to use interface.
  • Other video conferencing offers more capability in terms of capacity.
  • Device support for Linux is still lacking.
  • Microsoft is not backing this product and will stop service after a while.
Skype for Business is very useful if you need video conferencing software and already utilize Office 365. Its ability to integrate with the other Office applications allows for a lot of simplification that is already established from having used programs like Outlook, Powerpoint, Excel, and Word. However, if your business does not utilize Office 365 or would like a specifically dedicated video conferencing software, then there are other options available.

Skype is being used across the organization globally for virtual meetings and collaboration. It is also used as the telephone system. It addresses the problem of holding meetings with people in different areas and with different suppliers/customers.
  • Skype is great for conference calls with large groups.
  • Skype does well with sharing presentations.
  • Skype also does well with integration into Microsoft Outlook by allowing to schedule meetings and send a link to the meeting conference.
  • The call quality for Skype could be improved. It is sometimes difficult to hear the person on the other end.
  • When sharing your desktop screen, there is lag. I would like to see a smoother quality.
  • Sometimes the Skype system randomly drops calls or refuses to connect and restarts the call.
Skype is well suited in an environment when it is necessary to collaborate with multiple individuals in different areas. It would be less appropriate where clear presentations are needed. Sometimes it is difficult to read text over Skype.

Skype is included with the university's Office 365 subscription, and all Active Directory users can access and be contacted via Skype. We sometimes use it for within-department and between-department communication, especially for quick instant messaging. Skype is, of course, one of the original household names in videoconferencing, etc., but we don't use it much for that on a daily basis.
  • Skype for Business has grown quite a lot since its days as Microsoft Lync, and is now quite nicely integrated with almost facets of Windows and Office (and other Microsoft stuff).
  • It's nice for inter-office communication when everyone's using Active Directory and has Skype for Business running.
  • Skype for Business works well even on non-Windows and/or non-university machines (e.g. personal computers).
  • Skype in general, including the Business version, can be pretty clunky, and surprisingly resource-hungry, especially when it's always running, and on machines with lower specs.
  • This resource hungriness can be worth it for quick IMs to other members of the same organization, but I really have a hard time recommending Skype over something like Zoom for videoconferencing.
  • Video communication with others in the same organization just doesn't always seem to work very well, even on the same network.
Skype for Business (like its predecessor Lync) is nice for quick inter-office communication, but again, Microsoft Teams seems to be better for that stuff and allows for more collaboration. One of Skype's biggest weaknesses, as mentioned before, is how resource hungry it tends to be, so it's kind of a lot to leave on all the time.

Skype for Business is being used by the whole organization. It makes it easy for each department to communicate within the department, but also allows departments to work with each other. It's easy to find anyone within the organization and to be able to see the title and availability. With Skype, it's easy to get a quick answer or set up meetings with one another without having to wait for a reply on email.
  • Setting up meetings with Skype for Business is easy and painless. You can add people from your organization along with others outside of your company.
  • With Skype for Business, it's easy to check the status of the person you are looking up. If the person is away from Skype, it will show the status as away/busy.
  • Easy to sync your calendar with Skype. If you are busy or have a meeting scheduled, Skype will show that as your status.
  • Skype for Business requires a good internet connection. I've had my screen freeze and lag on me during meetings.
  • The mobile app has room for improvement. It lacks some functions that you would have on a desktop.
Skype for Business is well suited for a medium to large company. It's user friendly and easy to train users on. It also helps us communicate as an organization. It also allows meetings to go seamlessly with the ability to share your screen and to easily send out Skype meeting invites.

Skype for Business is being used by our organization to link up Board Members and staff during off-times between meetings in order to have productive conversations and drive forward points on our Strategic Plan. We signed up for Skype for Business in order to have an effective communication tool that supported multiple users.
  • Skype for Business can support large meeting numbers.
  • Skype for Business is newly refreshed and has very little lag time.
  • Skype for Business effectively integrates with existing Skype users.
  • I think the Skype for Business mobile capabilities could use a few small updates, as we have run across a few glitches that may just be due to connectivity issues.
  • File sharing is slightly clumsy but we have gotten the hang of it as a team.
  • That's it! Skype for Business is pretty great and easy to use.
You may be wondering why to choose Skype for Business and pay for Skype when there is also a free option. The free Skype doesn't come with features that would be helpful to a big group as it only has the capability to connect less than 25 participants in any one meeting. If you have a large group of employees that need to meet, Skype for Business is definitely worth the upgrade.
