Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)

Skype for Business has been a life saver. It provides global communication across our many sites and is easy to install. If the email is down or a user is away, they can use Skype on the phone or sometimes Skype is quicker. As a business product it's user friendly for most OS's and users. My users love the speed. You can set whether you're online or away and pop [out] multiple chat screens if you have a lot of conversations. You can merge conversations as well or best them to be neat and tidy. For IT users or the regular user you can do presentations by presenting your screen, or if you have trouble an IT pro can take control of your shared screen.

Skype was user friendly and fast to install with little downtime. You can remote control a computer or reach someone in a pinch. You can talk to multiple people at one time without confusion. You can automatically set it to open and tie it in with your Outlook Calendar which is great.

N-able N-central (formerly Solarwinds N-Central)
Skype is great for medium and large business alike. It is easy to contact people or set your status as being away or available. The ability to converse with multiple people inside the organization and outside is great. It is user friendly and you can reach someone in an emergency [without] going looking for them.
