Skype is suitable for private users seeking a chat and video program, and for smaller companies looking to use video conferencing or Internet telephony.
I like the price and the ease of use. The online portal is great to organize presentations and meetings.
NO real dislikes, but I did not feel that there was much about it that differentiated it from all of the other meeting software tools out there.
We as a whole members of clinic, would like to recommend everyone to explore this beautiful way of communication.
It might be the network problem or server issue but we faced little bit of trouble. All in all there is a nice product.
As a dental hygienist transitioning into the role of a consultant, my career was about teeth not technology, so I welcomed the ease of adaptability and the easy learning curve for this software.
Once there was a situation,where we all the alumini member organised a webinar we faced difficulties in communicating via mobile devices.
StartMeeting does what it's supposed to - great service at a great price.
It's very easy to install and intuitive to use, which makes the experience pleasant, you can share the screen and other things that, especially for the time, were great.
Connectivity (FREEZES) Issues. Lack of new features, it's been the same for years.
Screen share feature is amazing and completely free of cost. It is a simple and amazing software.
The one thing It makes me not like the software that much is the lagging and freezing problem.
What I like most about Skype is the UI and the fact that it's user friendly. Messaging for business and sending/accessing files is super easy.
Sometimes new updates create conflict with old users.
The best things about Skype are the video and sound clarity, the good value, and that it's Microsoft. I feel like Skype has been a reliable service and has been an asset for us.
The software can be glitchy, and sometimes calls will drop or audio quality will be poor.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
