Video calling Voice Call Add a feature Can't handle same functionality. Do not integrate with other services Guest • Jan 2017 • 18 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree No teams. Everybody has to add everybody. No search functionality. No nothing. Guest • Dec 2016 • 18 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Not "out of the box" secure / encrypted. Used it for 8 years and I decided to "grow up' into secure communication apps. To many wont send a letter thru the postal service without an envelope but throw a tantrum if anyone suggests to them use "secure / end to end encryption." Skype is one that bulks at any real security and acts like "deer in the headlights at anything...above 256 Bits or otherwise. Guest • Mar 2017 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Lacks integration capability. Microsoft does not guarantee availability. Message history storage is questionable in the recent versions. No teams. Guest • Jul 2017 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Only similiarity is that you can chat and call, nothing else. Slack is so much more superior with channels, integrations, search. Guest • Jul 2017 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It is one-to-one focused. Can't form teams easily. Guest • Jun 2017 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Skype is terrible and no one should be using it in 2017. Guest • Sep 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Slack is focused on chat and chat rooms. Skype is more focused on calls and video conferance. sgnl05 • Sep 2017 Disagree Agree Great video chat options and solid chat client for teams, we use it.

Guest • May 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree 1. Open source 2. Most of the same functionality 3. Secure and private server possibilities (the data is, therefore, yours until the end of time). 4. Extra features when it comes to customization, a big difference actually. Only negative is that Slack look a lot better design wise, so you can't customize it optimally. Guest • May 2017 Disagree Agree It is very much a Slack clone with added features + is open source!
