That's definitely Skype for Business, and it is a trainwreck. It's also standing on foundations that are at least 15 years old, from the pre-Slack era of instant messaging - it works essentially the same as AIM, or SameTime, or Pidgin, or any of the IM clients of that era.

Good news for you, SFB is most likely going away soon; Microsoft is seemingly hell bent on rolling all of the things into Teams.

Don’t worry, they’ll make sure to replace teams with something else as soon as teams threatens to become a universal solution for business.

SFB is in my opinion just Lync still. They just changed the name and the design. Nothing else that I can see changed.
