I agree 100%. But it is still my preferred messaging platform, much better than Skype for Business, lync, anything else I have used.
- Spivak 9y agoWe rolled out 'Skype for Business' and my lord is it a steaming pile of shit. Ignoring the fact that the UI is annoying, lacks basic features, fails to perform simple tasks like sending images, it's really the routing that makes loathe it. Have the app on your phone and your desktop? Step out of the office for a minute and get a message. See the message preview in your notification and tap it. It opens the app to an empty chat because it has now completely forgotten the message and it's sitting on your desktop. Everyone in our group got so fed up we set up a private team IRC server to route around this horrible platform.
- Piskvorrr 9y agoSkype for Business is Lync, with the Skype logo crudely painted on top. And Lync is...essentially a MS Outlook plugin.
