Overall Satisfaction with Skype

[Skype is] not currently being utilized for production, but [it] is [a] important side channel for Internal IT communication[.]
  • Instant notifications
  • Retention of conversation logs
  • Ease of installation/packaging with OS
  • Needs updated feature sets to stay competitive with other offerings.
  • Needs expanding if they are going to compete with Other conferencing options.
  • Needs an updated UI to refresh the look and modernize it.
  • Has had negligible impact for our business as we do not utilize it in our main production.
Selected Skype due to familiarity, and ease of installation and packaging with the OS.
