Are you moving from Lync / Skype to Microsoft Team yet?

We already use slack. I have zero complaints.

In the same boat we had silly license issues so became useless then half of the company couldn’t use it externaly.

We have just got team but didnt realise it replaced lync thought it was just another tool.

used it for a bit but just seemed to hit barriers with it so not used it since.

antbody fancy trying to sell it to me as dont see any benefits  

also will solarwinds do anything out of the box to monitor it?

We just implemented Skype.... I was a LYNC user in a previous life....

not terribly impressed with Skype. I suspect we will be doing Team shortly as well because of Skype's "issues".... (much sooner than later ..)

2018 will be anything but boring in my world!

Maybe I got the wrong impression of Teams, but I found it to be the „EOC“ for Skype, SharePoint, OneNote, Exchange. We use it to bring all the information from these tools together. However we still use Skype etc. as stand-alone

Currently using Cisco Jabber and Cisco VOIP and it works perfectly. Used Jabber and Microsoft VOIP at my last job and it was a mess.

Skype for IM is fine and actually works pretty well in some cases.

Skype for VoIP is abysmal.

We have switched from Cisco, to Shortel, and now Skype/Lync, and I have to say, the last is the worst by far.

We are using both but with the intention that Skype goes away. Teams is relatively new to us so not many people are comfortable with it yet.

We have moved our lync over to sfb and getting good call quality in some areas has been a real @#$% to figure out.  Using some newer netflow tools has helped to get the QOS under control but this sfb isn't all it was cracked up to be and I'm not sure it's really 100% anywhere at all but it is what we have now.  Everyone thought this would save us money going this route but it's often worse than what we had before.  I hope the new stuff is better than this... that's all I can say.  Basically anything might be better than sfb.

Starting to implement Skype and Teams.  What joy.

We were looking at going from Lync to Skype because it is the "next" thing, but Skype has some issues with various OS and Office versions we have deployed. It also kills the older chat clients, leaving people cut off if you can't complete the rollout all at once. If we go Teams we get the brand new experience (for better or worse) but can leave the old chat client there for people to use during the rollout. It is Teams for the whole company, and in a smaller scale IT has Slack in case the Microsoft stack fails.

Yes, we are doing this, but it seems (to me as a user), that Skype is easier to use than Teams. I have only been using Teams for a few months. FWIW, I have been able to embed SmartSheets, OneNote into it. And we have done some Meeting via Teams. Meetings still seem better to me in Skype. I will have to pay more attention the next time I am in a Teams meeting.

BTW, this would have been a good question to ask in a Poll, so we could get 5 points instead of 1 for replying, LOL.

We migrated to O365 in general this past year, and SFB was part of that solution. It's been a vast improvement over our previous collab solution.

We're already using Teams internally to IT as sort of a familiarity exercise/POC, and thus far it's worked well. I'm not sure how the garden-variety business user will fare, but what we found with SFB that high-frequency users got accustomed pretty quickly. We drafted some good instructional docs that we believe helped smooth that process.
