Overall Satisfaction with Skype
We have been using Skype mostly to communicate with people outside of the organization. It has been the default communication tool we have had for years. Audio and video work great together to be able to hold efficient virtual team meetings. It has also been a way for us to know who is currently online and who is not available.
- Video chat. It's smooth and the technology has been well perfected over the years.
- It's fast. It loads and logs in instantly.
- Very easy to use. No steep learning curve required.
- Too much RAM usage. It is eating up all of our computer's resources.
- There is a considerable lag for older computers doing a screen share.
- Cannot handle a lot of users simultaneously doing a video chat.
- I have communicated with clients and closed deals using Skype.
- It is absolutely free. No need to pay for anything to be able to communicate with people from around the world.
- Slack and Zoom
- Although you can't do a lot of users in one video chat, Skype still has the best video quality for virtual meetings.
- Skype is the cheapest among the alternatives. It is absolutely free after all.
- Skype has been the longest-running platform for online communication. It is still continually improving. That is a good thing.
