Skype for Business Pricing

Chris Biemans - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior ICT Consultant at CGI Inc

The solution does require a license. I'm not sure if it's monthly or yearly.

It was another department that was responsible for licensing. I was responsible for the software implementation.

Since I am using a corporate account for which I have not made any payments, I would not be able to speak about the solution's price.

We had a license for every one of our users to use Skype for Business. The license we used was part of an overall Microsoft license package.

When it comes to the pricing of the solution, I rate it as a five out of ten. It falls somewhere in the middle between being cheap and expensive.

We negotiated a fair price with Microsoft. It is definitely worthwhile to negotiate with them for the best price for your solution.

I'm not sure what the licensing costs are for the product. It's not an aspect of the solution that I handle.

I'm sure there are licensing fees for it, however, I don't know what they are. I know there are free versions of the solution. However, that probably doesn't apply to us as we have a high number of users in this company.

I never paid for a Skype for Business license as it's free on my device, but Zoom, we pay $20 a month.

Most of the IT ecosystems in Iran use Microsoft solutions because they are free for us. We crack them and pay no fees when configuring servers, downloading packages, or using Skype.

Principle consultant at Active Data Consulting Services Pty Ltd

The pricing is really good. It is quite affordable because it came with our Office 365. It is on a per-user license, which is nice. I quite like that they have made it very granular with all of their licensing.  I get a feeling that smaller organizations can interact with bigger organizations in a more global way by using this service. It is leveling the playing field.

There is a licensing cost, as far as I know, but I'm not sure how much it costs. If you buy the Microsoft suite, you get this product as well. So if you are already installing the suite, you get all these tools together.

We purchased an open license.

We own the license. You can buy a license once and use it for a long time. If you do not want to upgrade or you don't need to upgrade the license, you can keep it for a long time.

To realize value from the purchase of Skype Business, you need to take advantage of all the important functions of the program. These features include audio conferencing and video conferencing calls. Otherwise, the cost becomes high.

It depends on your infrastructure. There is value in using Skype only when your organization is Microsoft shop.
