Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)

Skype for Business is being used in the entire organization across geographies at our organization. It bridges the gap in daily communications and task setting. Considering our operations and daily need for such a communication channel, we reduce turn around time with a huge margin. Sharing screens is just another feature that is great for cross-team collaboration.

Pros

  • Cross-Team collaboration
  • Screen-sharing for visual presentations
  • Easy-to-use video conferencing

Cons

  • Multiple screen sharing with different parties on the same call.
  • Easier way to set groups.
  • No restrictions of the size of messages.
  • Reduced turn around time for decisions.
  • Brought the Global team closer and made them easy to connect with.
  • Easy internal collaboration.
Skype for Business would be less suitable for teams which are on the younger side of the age curve. Microsoft Teams has incorporated some fancier ways of communication which will be more acceptable for your team. If you have built your team with fresh college graduates, you might want to look at Teams. Otherwise, Skype definitely works for any team.
