Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
Skype for Business is used throughout the company I work for, a company of over 1800 employees. The company has locations in twelve states across the U.S., as well as being in the U.K. and China. It's great to be able to chat.
- Skype for Business is great for chatting with individuals or groups.
- I hold monthly webinars for employees across the company using Skype for Business and the process is seamless.
- My work phone is tied to Skype for Business. I can use the app to manage my business calls and meetings on mobile.
- It's a little clunky when it comes to sharing image files.
- The mobile app doesn't save phone numbers.
- The contacts section could be smoother.
- Skype for Business ties in nicely with Office 365. If your company uses Microsoft Office products, then Skype is great for collaboration and communication.
- Skype for Business is not as robust as other comparable tools like Slack.
We as a company are just beginning to use Slack. Since the company is so integrated with Office 365, it only made sense to incorporate Skype for Business. While the online chat features may not be as strong as other products like Slack, it does make up for it with its strong audio and video conference call capabilities.
