Really Good, but could be Great or even Awesome! – Sky - for Lync and Skype for Business Review

I am happy to find this app, that provides a solid (albeit a little bare) alternative to an "Intel-IM" subscrption to exploit my agency's dependence on Lync 2010. The Lync and Skype apps provided by Microsoft do not work for our unique blend of old and new archetecture but these 3rd party apps do the job. What I like about Intel-IM is the ability to quickly update my status on our Global Address list. I work in a helpdesk like place and it's very useful to let someone know immediately when you are available, in a meeting, gone, etc. Usually, they accomplish this with the ridiculous app Lync 2010 which sort of works sometimes.... What I don't like about Intel-IM is the cost of monthly or annual subscriptions. THIS APP, simply because it works, and is free, makes me smile and promise to switch straight over to these folks, and reccomend to my co-workers who also work remotely from the office that THIS gem is a must-have. However, that being said, THIS app allows you to manually adjust your status, while the paid-for Intel-IM allows a list of pre-made/custom statuses to be manually or automatically updated as a work schedule. Just lazy on my part, I know. It's a minor thing to dismiss because THIS IS FREE! it's awesome for that. I've tried and tried a lot of alternatives with all the settings adjusting, etc. for Office 365 too, and this Just Works!
