Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
We use Skype for Business as our online meeting tool quite frequently. All meetings have a Skype invite attached to them, which includes a conference bridge. This enables outside users to dial in with an 800 number, while internal users can use their Skype client for voice/video (or call in over phone if they choose). The flexibility here is key. We also use it for desktop sharing frequently (to help demonstrate an issue, or to troubleshoot an issue). Of course, we also use for IM.
Skype (now Teams) is constantly improving. It does, however, need some integration with modern software development tools (Atlassian products, for instance). But I prefer it much more than HipChat or Mattermost. Skype is more intuitive and easier to use.

- Online meetings.
- Desktop sharing.
- It needs integration with modern software development tools, even if they are open-source.
- The desktop sharing has really made it easy to collaborate--it saves a ton of walking around the building.
