Overall Satisfaction with Skype

I use Skype everyday to work with my partners (fixing issues in our business or developing new projects). I use it 70% during the week by sending instant messages and 30% of the time using voice call. It saves me time instead of having to write emails.
  • Very good audio quality
  • No lag
  • File Sharing feature
  • Good camera image quality
  • Screen Sharing feature
  • Multiple users in the same call (conference call)
  • Sharing a screen is sometimes buggy (freezes or doesn't load).
  • Missing a feature for remote control like TeamViewer [has].
  • Skype phone call rates are expensive compared to other VOIP providers.
  • It saves me times and money to work with my partners. I send less emails and save money using the call feature.
  • As the sharing screen is buggy, I have to use TeamViewer to work on screen sharing.
  • As it's available for several devices, I use it most of the time on my laptop but when I have to move and need to be reachable, I use it on my Android phone.
I use TeamViewer because the sharing screen feature of Skype is buggy. Also, sometimes I need to remote control my partners' screen to fix some issues they have when developing some code (HTML, PHP or JavaScript).
I will recommend it for working all day and using the internet call [tool] due to its features. I will not recommend it to make phone calls; the voice quality is good but the prices applied are expensive if you don't get a plan.
