Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)

It is being used across the whole organization. It was used to chat instantly with anyone, schedule video or voice calls. It was also very helpful because it allowed people to see each other's set up situation (busy, available, away, etc.), so you pick the people easier to reach out according to their availability.
  • Instant chat
  • Share documents
  • Meetings across the globe
  • The files you sent on Skype can sometimes be not accessible
  • The file size limitation is restricting
  • Increased feedback time
  • Increased meeting efficiency
  • Improved audio quality
We were in between Microsoft Teams and Skype but selected Skype due to a more advantageous package for our company. It is also very easy to learn and use so the user training was minimal.
