Overall Satisfaction with Skype

We use Skype in our organization to get connected at every time and at any place through this software as it helps us a lot in communicating and passing information from one person to another in no time. It is very less time-consuming and easy to use. Through the software, we do calling, chat and share files and images, videos, etc., on a single tip.
  • Through Skype we can communicate very easily globally
  • We can do Chat, Call, Video Call, Screensharing, Media & File sharing at a one tip
  • We can create different groups and can add a large number of people to the same group, which helps in spreading any news to masses
  • Skype need to add different templates which looks more attractive.
  • It has lowered our costs in our organization while communicating through the internal team, earlier we use landlines to communicate, but now we use Skype which is cheap in comparison to landlines and other sources.
  • It has saved our time in spreading and communicating with a large number of people, As we can communicate and pass the messages in groups which saves our time and cost.
  • It has saved our bills which were going earlier on landlines.
As WhatsApp Business is not useful as skype because there are certain features which were not as useful as those available on skype. Whatsapp has a file size limit while transferring data, it doesn't have screen sharing which is a big drawback, and cannot be used as a professional tool while working in corporates.
