Pros Good software with which you can connect many people very easily. A group of 15 employees is easy. There are many options to use and the menu bar is very simple. The quality of sound and picture is very good and stable and even with several users you can quickly mute people or give others rights to hold the meeting better and undisturbed.

The competition also managed to do better with screen sharing.

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.

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.

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.
