Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
I work in an organization with 70+ different sites located hundreds of miles apart. We needed a reliable video conferencing and content sharing software. Skype for Business provides us with that functionality. It has made sharing our work a lot easier as users can share their computer screens to see in real-time what issues are at the other end.
- Quick text chat with your colleagues.
- Excellent quality audio and video calls.
- Very easy to share your computer screen with other team members and if required, give them control of your PC.
- If the computer screen is shared with other users, it slows down the computer speed. It's a common problem across the organization.
- Although it's supposed to be integrated with MS Outlook, sometimes it doesn't accept outlook credentials and keeps asking password although still logged in and working.
- When you are controlling another personal computer, the big black screen showing Skype window keeps popping up.
- The interface needs improvement. MS Teams has a better interface.
- Makes interacting with remote team members very easy.
- Can see the current status of every team member to know if somebody is busy or free or at a desk or away from the desk.
It is recommended by my organization so I don't have any say in that matter.
