Overall Satisfaction with Skype

We use Skype for day-to-day conversations. Since we have offices in various remote locations across the country, it helps us connect easier and faster. Also very easy to use to set up an audio and/or video conversation if we need to talk which avoids having to remember a lot of phone numbers and extensions. Very efficient in that regards.
  • Quick video call
  • Send documents
  • Group conversations
  • Audio is an issue for me every time I organize an audio call. I have to go in my settings and specify my audio output which is very annoying
  • Personally, I am one that loves to use emojis to build rapport and I find the app is very limited in that aspect
  • Not too sure if the possibility is there to record a session via Skype meeting but that would be great
  • Group conversations with split screens so people can work in teams
  • Improved communication amongst the team.
  • Simple and efficient for meeting requests for a less savvy person.
  • Efficiency in knowing when someone can be disturbed or not.
Same as before with updates and more features. Nothing much more to say, it's been practical. Zoom is efficient but doesn't allow chat like everyone is already familiar nowadays. (ex; Microsoft, ICQ, MSN, Messenger, Facebook Messenger, etc.) Chatting is now second nature to people and Skype does it fairly well.
Not trying to impact results as I never had to use the support feature. What I can say is the settings are easy to find and simple to navigate. Not too many features but just enough to seek what you need.

Do you think Skype delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Skype's feature set?

Yes

Did Skype live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Skype go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Skype again?

Yes

Well suited for day to day conversations or seeing if a peer is out of a meeting or available. You can connect quickly for a chat online if using video which can be very helpful to clarify discussions. Great that you can also connect using your mobile device and stay in touch on the go. Has served me multiple times at the cottage.
