Reviews of Skype for Business

  • Subpar, especially for Microsoft

    The first major issue, which is why I avoid using it when I can, is that your entire Skype call log is blended in with your personal call log. There is no way to turn this off which makes it harder to separate your personal call history from your business call history. So I stay logged out when I can to prevent new business related calls from showing up.

    The second major issue, is that the rest of the app is just ok. The navigation, look and feel of the app is average. I would expect a big company like Microsoft to put some muscle behind the development of the app. If I had to guess, they put the bare minimum just so they can maintain higher profit margins.
  • Improving with use

    We were required to use Skype and it was a tough beginning. A lot of my team members do not use the video and stick with the audio only. The more we use it, the better we all get at sharing screens and working from multiple devices. I will be excited to see how it continues to improve and work as some of us head back into the office. I personally love that I can go from my phone, to my tablet, to my laptop or my desktop fairly seamlessly. This has made life truly mobile.
  • Needs improvement

    Conversations from other devices logged into the same account do not sync efficiently, or at all really. The more I use this between devices there is almost no time when my phone and laptop and tablet load the same conversation history. The app can’t be used in split screen or in a slide over window to view chats.
    Notifications are unruly. With SFB closed on my iPad, not open in the background, and while working from Skype on my laptop, I was sent a file over SFB and my phone went off alerting me of a Skype for business “call” (which was the file being shared) and I continued on my computer. The notification did not end, and I had to manually reject the “call” from my phone. 3 hours later, after being off work I open my iPad and there’s a SFB incoming call; The notification for a shared file, with SFB closed entirely on my iPad, persisted with the screen off for 3+ hours and would have continued until my battery was completely drained.
