I beg to differ on this.. we use Skype for business and have heard nothing but complaints.
One personal beef I have with it is IM messages don't sync between devices. I start a chat with someone on my workstation then when I leave my desk and try to see it on my phone it's unavailable. Or same issue when switching between an RDP and local session.
- sebtoast 8y agoIf you enabled it (it is by default I believe), the conversations are stored in Outlook. It sucks... but you can still get to them if you have access to Outlook.
- telchar 8y agoWhen you say "you" here, do you mean "you" or the BOFH somewhere who controls the Exchange server? I stopped opening Lync at work because, among other issues, it wouldn't save conversations and I couldn't figure out how to make it do so.
- Sylamore 8y agoMost versions of Lync/Skype for Business allow you to keep conversation history locally in Outlook. It's under Skype for Business> tools> options> Personal> check whether you have ticked “save IM conversations in my email Conversation History folder”. It can be disabled by the SfB admins though. Newer versions do support server side logging to your Outlook mailbox too but it must be configured by the SfB and Exchange admins.
