Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)

We currently use it in HR in order to have virtual meetings with our other HRMs in other locations. We also use it to do training on software for HR and payroll. Our whole organization uses it to better facilitate communication with our other locations in the US. It makes it much easier to identify issues and problems with our software.

Pros

  • Sharing desktop.
  • Anyone can be a presenter.

Cons

  • No real cons I can think of.
  • It is easier to relate to teammates across the country.
  • Zoom
I never have a problem - Skype is always reliable.

We use it for training new features in our software. You have to be careful when sharing your desktop that only the appropriate people have access to highly confidential information. When used to train supervisors, you need to make sure they are only seeing information on teammates that they would normally have access to.
