Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business (formerly Lync)

We have a large group, and during the COVID pandemic, Skype for Business has been a great help to connect with all group members. We use Skype for Business for our group meetings and if we are arranging a seminar from our group. We use it to share documents and live chat during work hours as well.
  • Great video quality.
  • Excellent audio quality.
  • Easy to use; great for small file sharing.
  • Great chat service during live meeting.
  • Large files take a longer time to share.
  • Have connection issues in large group meetings.
  • Interactive service (emoji, history) needs improvement.
  • Interactive session (chat, screen share) enables us to collaborate and solve problems faster.
  • Sharing work with other people through presentations, seminars, and webinars becomes easier.
  • Arranging, attending, and reminding us about meeting become swift.
Skype for Business is great for arranging interactive sessions with group members. It has great audio and video quality and live chat enable others to communicate with each other personally or as a group during any session. File sharing is also easy. It is best for its quality of service.

It is well suited to have a large group meeting, arranging seminars, and webinars. It is great for working on a collaboration project and sharing small files. Screen sharing enables individuals to work interactively with each other. Our lab works in the modeling aspect and it's great for debugging the code. But we face issues when we wish to share large files and arranging. And it requires high-speed internet to have great service.
