Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
Skype for Business is the most used tool in communication at my company. We used it for instant messages and calls, but now we are using it more frequently in our meetings that were previously held in person. Currently, we have most people working from home and this requires a higher level of structure to have stable communications, allowing the work to continue to happen in the right way. As I work with civil engineering within a chemical industry, there are many decisions that must be made both technical and safety, which require that many people are involved in monitoring the works.

Among all the ones I used, the ones with the best experience were: Google Meet, Zoom, Whereby, Messenger. These are great programs but in an informal context. I believe that for companies, Skype is differentiated precisely because it is a specific application for both security and settings, giving you a better experience on all platforms.
