In the specific case of my team, we use Teams because we were told (warned? threatened?) that Skype for Business would be discontinued[1]. Otherwise, we would have completely ignored it.

- baq 6y agoif there's one thing that's worse than Teams it's Lync. there's only one thing i like about it - the global Win+F4 mute keyboard shortcut.
- Aeolun 6y agoYeah. Though it’s a little bit damning that the best thing you can say about Teams is that it isn’t Lync/Skype for Business.
- aksss 6y agoHow much of that is tech management issues though? I mean, in past life we implemented the whole lync stack of servers, SBCs, etc., and it worked great. We had a few older employees that were highly skeptical of the conversion (a phone's a phone, right??) but completely changed their tune once they got used to clicking on phone numbers to dial, simultaneous ring, etc. We couldn't have done that if the fundamental performance wasn't taken care of. The system took a lot of tuning but I can't but think that implementation poor implementation/management of the stack was a bigger problem for Lync than the actual system itself. I'm blaming the sysadmins. ;)
- thewhitetulip 6y agoI currently use Lync and despite all Teams flaws I'm trying to convince my coworkers to stop Lync/webex meetings when Teams meeting work fine and it comes with an Android app so audio issues will be fewer
