Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
We use Skype for Business across the whole organization to have online meetings with people from different time zones and countries. It makes it very convenient when we don't work in the same office. We no longer need to book conference rooms. We just need to look up people's calendars. And we can share screens with each other even though we might be from different parts of the world.
Pros
- Capability to share screens with other people
- Mobile app
- Clear sound
Cons
- There used to be a bug where once you muted yourself on the iPhone app, you could not unmute
- Connection can be unreliable when using the mobile app
- Some people outside our company complained about not being able to download the app, and can only join the audio
- Saved the company money as we don't need to be in the same location anymore
- Saved people's time as we don't need to book meeting rooms
- More convenient when we can share our screen with others
- Zoom and GoToMeeting
I think Skype for Business is more user-friendly than Zoom and GoToMeeting as it has a simple and intuitive user interface.
I mostly use the desktop version with my co-workers in the same company, so it connects very fast and the sound quality is very clear compared to other alternatives.
