Our team currently works remotely with no physical office. In order to collaborate effectively we needed a solution that allows us to meet virtually and share information (files, documents) in real-time. Skype for Business, now part of Microsoft Teams provides this solution perfectly...especially because we were already using Microsoft Office/Microsoft 365 tools.
Great Software!

There are no problems so far. This software comes in handy when other organizations request to be used for meetings and they don't have other software's we use in the office. This software is easy to use and quick to learn. I would recommend this software to friends and family.

Skype for Business, now part of Microsoft Teams, is primarily used to have online and hybrid meetings. This is used primarily to overcome the flexible working policies at my organisation. Since some people work from home for various reasons, or travel as part of the work, it is necessary to have a robust/reliable platform to conduct remote meetings. Generally, the features of Skype for Business, now part of Microsoft Teams, are used for this purpose, although some of the collaborative features of Skype for Business, now part of Microsoft Teams, are used to work on documents/spreadsheets remotely and in real-time.
Beyond expectation

Limited features for business collaboration find it lacking in terms of advanced features.Business depend heavily on communication tools and any technical issues often lead to disruption in productivity targets.Need to follow regulatory compliance before using the product and ensure the procedure needs to follow without breaking any Compliance. Sometimes the usage may also depend on Internet connectivity.
"Skype for Business is a remarkable communication tool that has widespread adoption."

We use Skype for Business as one of the best ways to
connect. We can use it anywhere, boosting communication. It is excellent for
chats, calls, and videoconferencing, but I can also remotely access other
users' desktops to help them as if I were there. The adaptability of the
meetings held by our organization has vastly improved as a direct result of
this development. We can use it on our laptops or desktop computer and phone.
Skype for Business's ability to be set up on mobile devices and laptops is one
of its most appealing features. As far as tools go, Skype for Business is
right up there.
