![]() ![]() The rate of change with Lync is zero and it’s as if they don’t invest anything in it. I sort of assume I’m not the only person that feels this way, but Microsoft don’t do anything about it. All of this stuff works flawlessly on other software like Adobe Connect. Sharing PowerPoint? Why bother even trying. I can share my screen if I’m on my company VPN and so is the other caller. There is an iPad app but it’s got 2% of the functionality of the Skype iPad app. To use Lync effectively you need to spend time configuring and tweaking it. You won’t be able to setup your microphone right, it won’t work, you have to download software to join calls. All of this is a day in the life of Lync.ħ) The need to spend time setting up Lync “No Response From the Server” when you send messages. ![]() Cellphones can play a part, but even with straight PC to PC calls, you never know what’s going to happen. The quality of calls is so incredibly variable. And every other call, I can’t hear the other person until I quit and restart the Lync client. With the current version, for example, I can’t join calls unless I quit and restart the Lync client. Or whether groups of people can hear each other.Įach time you get a Lync update, you can never be sure what’s going to break. Because you’re never quite sure if the other person can hear you. That’s 5% of every call, wasted because of people joining late, technical problems etc. It’s impossible to get a call started on time so you end up wasting an average of 3 minutes at the beginning of a call. ![]() And 50% of the time, there is some kind of problem (see below). Each time I set up a conference call I have a moment of Russian Roulette as I click the “join” button. I call it from my cellphone, from my Mac, from everywhere. I setup tens of calls a week with 1-100 people on them. It’s worth noting that I’m a huge Lync user. Maybe someone from Microsoft gives a crap and will do something about their awful collaboration suite. I’m stuck with no Microsoft Lync connectivity again, and in my frustration I thought I’d give my top 10 reasons why I hate Microsoft Lync. ![]()
