I still use Skype for professional purposes

What are the best aspects of this product?

What I like most is the ability to attend conferences from anywhere. This solution allows me to interact with my colleagues and friends in real-time, it doesn’t matter the time-zone. We can easily work on research projects, conduct an interview. You can even use it for personal purposes to talk with family and friends.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I have experienced some breakdowns while speaking with someone, but maybe this is internet issue more than Skype’s. Sometimes when speaking with someone the call drops every 30 minute and it requires for calling back.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

With Skype there is no such thing as time-difference. Thanks to this tool I got 3 different jobs and university acceptance via Skype interviews. I’m able to get some research projects via Skype and to collaborate with my team from anywhere.

Are you a current user of this product?

Yes
