Employee management and tracking has been made easier through the statistics and reports generated. The time tracker is very effective as I can plan out my time even when am on leave, I can still relax while I keep tabs with the operations of my company. Pros An amazing software that assists in employee management by monitoring the screen time and online presence on Skype or Business. Makes it possible to manage my staff of 10 employees since we can hold online meetings with ease. Time tracking, helps in managing my time and planning ahead such that I can be on leave and still keep tabs with the management of our company. I can be able to manage employees virtually, even across the globe. Easy to keep all employees on tabs at the click of a button. Cons A stable internet connection is needed to ensure time out rate is not reached. Screen sharing is not easy with Skype a feature that the alternative software had. At times calls do not go through which wastes some considerable time till I resort to making manual calls which is very expensive. Alternatives considered [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Reason for choosing SkypeTime Skype Time is stable unlike Zoom which malfunctions many a times.

House Cleaning/ Care taker Consumer Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "SkypeTime" July 10, 2020 5.0 My overall experience with Skypetime has been very helpful. I don't have a car or any way to get around at this time, being able to use this software has been great because my family and I are able to still communicate and see others no matter where they live. Pros SkypeTime has been a great help with these last few months for business and pleasure phone calls. You can see the person by video or chatting. Cons No cons for this software. It's been a great help. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) We didn't make the switched because we had problems with this software but we started using zoom because when the kids were taken out of school because of the virus zoom software was what we had to use to stay connected with the teachers. I also have my doctors appointments through zoom which also wasn't my choice, it's just something that happened.

Cons SkypeTime, is a useful tool to keep in touch with people at a great distance, however, if you want to enjoy all its tools and benefits, you need to pay to access them, it is also essential to have a good internet connection to enjoy a good call or video conference.

I have a great time in communicating with people and sending files over skype. Pros 1) Very good emojis and instant response. 2) User friendly UI. 3) Very nice communication tool. Best part is video calling. 4) Best feature is messages are editable. Cons 1) Evertime it needs a good network to connect. 2) Call breakage is instant when network gets somewhat slow. 3) Older version 7 was much way better than 8 version. 4) There should be a alert or pop-up must be opened if message is not sent. 5) Sometimes buffering of messages gets intolerable. 6) Sometimes you send message but it is received very late at other end despite on being same network. 7) It gets hanged in screen sharing.

April 8, 2019 4.0 Sometime i did work from home or traveling then i can connect with my colleague easily can video call ,audio call or chat with those easily. Now a days one firm has many branches so we connect them branch colleague through this very easily. Pros Best application to chat, video call or audio call and its easy to use. Group can make fast and communicate with all at same time. Best feature is screen sharing which is useful if we can communicate with other to troubleshoot his problem or something else. Its very helpful to connect with my family, business work (client and costumer) Friends and colleague will call or message anytime if they are online. Its best feature is its also install in Mobile device which us helpful when i am out of office or home or traveling to other place then can connect with other with mobile skype application. Cons Skype take too much time to load emoji's and for video call we need high bandwidth if the internet speed is slow it crashes he video call or clarity of the video call is bad. On sharing the file its take too much time to download the file or sometime it give error to download. Review Source Alex M D. Head of Information Technology Department Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Skypetime" March 26, 2018 5.0 Pros All of the time control systems on the market assume the installation of an additional software on the employee's computer. For our business, this solution is not acceptable because of: Security. Third-party software installation on all PCs is a potential threat and a possible backdoor. Compatibility. Due to the fact that all programs work at the driver level, no one can ensure that updates will not cause any failures. High Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Software client needs to be installed on all employees' computers and requires future maintenance. Skypetime does not have these shortcomings. It receives data from the SfB server and does not affect users computers in any way. Running and configuring the cloud version took only two days, the subsequent migration to our server also passed quickly and without loss of data. Cons No link between Outlook Appointments and SkypeTime, so appointments that take place wherever but no at PC are compelled to be entered manually. They promise to add this feature soon. Export to excel is missing fore some of reports. Review Source Raj K.

The product features save a lot of valuable time and resources for the organization. Pros 1\. Skype Time lets you monitor your team members remotely and be in touch with them all the time. 2.

Use emojis and similar functions to express emotions. 8. When you use it in a mobile app, you can connect while on the move. 9. It is easy to learn, user-friendly, and secure. 10. You can schedule corporate meetings and organize group activities with this tool, designed to work with Skype for Business, SharePoint, Exchange, RDG, etc. Cons 1\.

Calls from People connecting from remote locations may get dropped off frequently, and you may experience lags due to poor Wifi connectivity. 3. It gets slow with multiple files and heavy traffic. 4.

Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for Meetings, Screen Sharing and Chatting" February 11, 2019 5.0 It's great tool for managing meetings, group messages and file sharing. I have been using it personally to see my peer desktop and get the issue resolved. Microsoft to need to work on the performance on desktop sharing over skype as it is slow then MSRA when compared to screen refresh rate. Pros The communication methods are quick and easy. Configuration to send missed conversation to associated email is great way to send your message. Keep tracking of the people, who are available and who aren't. I would say to keep tracking your peer or subordinate. Great tool for meetings. You can send group messages to people while they are in meeting. Great tool for screen sharing. You can add people as many you want to while sharing the screen. Chatting tool is awesome. Maintain the Bold/Italic/Underline and have smilies with great support. Cons Sometime, when someone is sharing screen, the screen stuck and other people won't see screen refresh. It hang up sometime when sharing file to multiple people at once, in group meeting. When attending meeting, the status doesn't change to 'In Meeting' status. It fails sometime. When someone is sharing screen, and you grant access to their system, it take time to refresh on screen. Little show here. I have to request for MSRA (Microsoft Windoes Remote Access) in those cases, as it has good refresh rate. Review Source DG Dave G. Senior Sales Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "SkypeTime review" October 21, 2024 5.0 Good user experience, needs more global adoption Pros I liked best that SkypeTime was very easy to use Cons I liked least that SkypeTime is not widely used in business Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Socio Departamental Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It is a great program that solves my communication needs, but I believe it can be improved" April 9, 2018 4.0 The biggest benefit is that for a great fee I get to make regular international phone calls. Pros I live in a developing country and, believe it or not, it is sometimes impossible to get out international phone calls, Skype has saved my life time and again when this happens (so thank you so much Skype!!). It is a relatively easy to use app, the chat is great and the phone calls and video chats generally work perfectly. My favorite aspect of Skype definitely is the fact that it allows you to call actual phone numbers, who recieve the call as any other regular call, and not only other users who would have to be online to receive the call, this feature has just saved me so many times that I remain a faithfull user. I also love that you can set up an automatic re-charge of your credit so you never run out. Cons It is a little confusing when you try to access your contact list from your cellphone from the app. When that is what you are trying to do, it is not so user friendly. In addittion, the "adding contacts" part of the program became a little confusing as well with one of the last few updates, making it not so easy to find the people I'm looking for.

Psychotherapist Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Monitoring System for Small and Medium-sized Environments" April 30, 2022 4.0 It has been a good experience with SkypeTime since I started using it. It is a great work time & security monitoring system that certainly gives a boost to productivity. I reckon it has a played an important role in the overall growth and development of my personal brand. Pros I have a small-sized setup where SkypeTime is implemented to keep track of the workforce. My work allows me to keep the involvement of interns all the time. SkypeTime helps me monitor their schedules, overtime, lateness, etc. Also, I can easily keep track of the audio and video conferences. The best feature is that it's a web-based application and access is pretty easy. Some of the team members connect via their mobile phones and other devices, and it hasn't given any trouble so far. Now it also offers a cloud facility which makes it even cooler. Cons The only con is the disconnectivity factor when the internet is slow but it makes sense that transmission of audio/video signals requires a stable data connection. It's more of my personal problem but still, I'd appreciate if there was a way to cope with this issue.

Anytime I want to make a call to my family or friends, nothing passes my mind first than Skype (so once again thank you Skype). The fact that it's easy to install and compatible with a plethora of operating systems makes it the best software I've ever come across. Besides, I make endless calls for free (can you imagine that?) Also, I like the customer support which is fast and effective. Cons I didn't like the fact that I need to have a powerful network connection to enjoy the services. Otherwise the software is excellent. Review Source BA Bengt A.

People are comfortable to use it and can easy turn up when you are in need for a good way to communicate. Pros Skype Time is a very simple, comfortable way to use for everyone. An excellent and good product that was the first on the market since a long time and helps to communicate with friends, company which you use in your everyday life. Even if there are new ways to communicate today, Skype is still stable, reliable and familiar with all individuals all over the world. Its very convenient to arrange a group of friends or colleagues in your company of up to 15 people. There are several alternatives to choose for a group, and the menu in the software is easy to use. Sound quality and camera are excellent. Cons To ensure that the frame rate is not lost, you should have a strong internet connection. It can be difficult to bring the other person into the conference or to switch them to silent mode at times. The competition also performed better in terms of screen sharing. Furthermore, an increasing number of businesses have switched to another provider, making it easier to use the other provider.

Pros That the quality of the software has not declined during the years. The fact that it has been free for so long and it has literary no restrictions compared to paid users. Cons Skype hasn't changed a lot, at least not from a graphical standpoint. I would simplify the GUI much more, and do the same and more to the mobile version of the app. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT - Business Relationship Specialist Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for end-user communication!" August 5, 2018 4.0 Excellent real-time communication for most use cases, but a few key features keep me using a few other products in edge cases. I.e. production environments with heavy constant noise that could be remedied by a selective/trained noise cancellation rather than verbal recognition for input on/off, and lack of tools for in-app visual feedback Pros All features accessible and intuitive to the average end user. Cons Lack of following features.. -push to talk, only mute/unmute -mid screen share selection/highlighting -baseline &/ trained ambient background noise cancellation Review Source EMO Elizabeth Michelle O.

With its new version, it is more stable to use due to its many features and software infrastructure. One of the best tools used so far!
