Reviews over Skype
Skype Review
Opmerkingen: Skype has not posed any major issues and is a reliable service for whenever I have online meeting needs. It's a well known brand and people trust it for meeting about both business uses and casual needs like playing games online with friends while keeping a voice chat open without using cell phones.
Pluspunten:
It lets any user access remote contact for free and without needing to worry about cell calling limits while providing instant access to powerful tools like streaming your own screen via screen sharing. A game changer for quick day to day meetings in any workplace scenario whether that's an artist to a client showing progress or within a 30 person office for a monthly progress meeting.
Minpunten:
Occasional discconnection issues and needing to share passwords to formal meetings are standard across programs like these, annoying but not limited to Skype by any means.
A basic tool that does its job
Opmerkingen: My experience is overall satisfactory. I don't need advanced features, it's enough for chats and calls between 2/3 people . Issues are not overwhelming.
Pluspunten:
It serves the purposes of most basic communication activities, I use it mainly for instant messaging with co-workers and for alignment calls.
Minpunten:
Sometimes the call quality is not the best and some messages arrive late.
Skype Review

Pluspunten:
It was great during it’s time. Before Teams, Skype was the best app to use for communication. We even use it for virtual phone.

It was just a communication application. Other microsoft applications couldn’t be integrated, unlike Teams.

One of the best and classic VOIP services
Opmerkingen: Skype is one of the best VOIP services around. Although some corporate services have moved over to Zoom or Teams as they are integrated, Skype still outshines them when it comes to calling clients or people who have little to no internet access. It works for me all the time
Pluspunten:
I like that I can use Skype to call regular phone lines by loading credits. This enables me to have meetings with people and clients around the world with little to no internet access.
Minpunten:
Depending on where you are calling, the credits can be expensive.

J.L. Skype Review
Opmerkingen: Skype has been a great tool that I've used in the past couple of months as a way of communicating with family members and business partners alike across the world via audio-video. However, it's privacy concerns and limited features really drive me away from using it regularly.
Pluspunten:
I can learn almost anything virtually and therefore have the skills to work anywhere in the world. For example, I recently had a financial wellness webinar where I learned a lot about budgeting, taxes, and more.
Minpunten:
Skype has faced privacy concerns related to data security and encryption so I tend to use other software like Google Meet and Zoom.

There is a lag in the screen sharing At times the app gets hung and its needs to be restarted Do not receive a call and we directly get a notification for missed call
Skype..... The software that's easy to use for any instant messaging or calling need!

Connecting the World One Call at a Time
Opmerkingen: My Overall experience with skype is awesome and appreciating the likes that I can make video calls, voice calls, messaging and even make group video calls either for work or family meet ups
Pluspunten:
I love many things about skype! One of the things I like most about Skype is the ability to connect with friends and family from anywhere in the world. It allows me to face-to-face conversations, even when I cant be physically together. Skype also offers a wide range of futures like screen sharing, file sharing, and group calls, which make it a versatile and convenient communication tool.
Minpunten:
I can't speak for everyone, but I find the user interface of Skype to be a bit overwhelming at times. especially for new users.
Basic Conference Tool
Pluspunten:
Everyone knows how to use it especially in markets where it is still a dominant voip tool. I am glad Microsoft is still keeping at afloat as many small businesses such as dealerships use it. Some EU markets are still active on Skype and it helps to stay connected to customers this way.
Minpunten:
With years it became worse and much more integrated into other Microsoft tools. Having ability to buy minutes and call locally is great, but the quality is not always there.
I would prefer skype to teams any day
Pluspunten:
able to set how much time before the status turns inactive
Minpunten:
not completed integrated into outlook calendar
A solution for companies

Image quality. Clients have sometimes questioned the quality when I'm presenting the work I've commissioned.
Great internal communication app
Opmerkingen: Great experience. Great for communication w/my staff while I was busy on the phone or unable to talk

This was great for internal communication if we were on the phone
Minpunten:
I cannot really think of any dislikes. I had a good experience using the platform.
Skype is Simple
Opmerkingen: Skype is simple and easy to use, but mostly geared toward the individual consumer and not businesses. It is not able to keep up with the demand of remote multi-person meetings that we experience in the business world today.
Pluspunten:
Skype pioneered the video call experience, and remains a secure connection for internet calls. Both the older and younger generations can benefit from its simplicity.
Minpunten:
Skype lacks the ability to create quick meetings with multiple people by sending out one link, so it is not as useful for group calls.
Easy to use for video call
Opmerkingen: Ive been using skype for 10 yrears and I've been satisfied mostly.
Pluspunten:
Using skyp is very easy that even my 70 year old father can use. Its easy and mostly free to video call.
Minpunten:
It uses a lot of data , so when the internet is not powerful the call freezes and you cant see the other side.
Classic conversation but the app is heavy
Pluspunten:
It's been around for a long time and works across a range of devices and scenarios, even to POTS.
Minpunten:
The interface (and the app) is getting heavier. It is not trivial to keep it running unless we use it all the time.

Pluspunten:
The fact you dont have to get people to join they can access meeting through guest
