We performed a comparison between BlueJeans Meetings and Skype for Business based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is really easy and there are no complicated graphics or icons. It is simple and has an intuitive design. It's user-friendly over anything else I have used."
"The main advantage is the ability to host large meetings with up to 500 participants. The sound quality is also better on BlueJeans. I find it pretty intuitive and user-friendly."
"The quality of both audio and video is good."
"It is available in all flavors. You can use it in the browser, and you can use it on an Android phone for which a BlueJeans app is available. I use an Android phone, so I only know about Android. So, you can join a meeting from the application installed on your phone or from the mobile browser, or you can use it from a laptop or a PC."
"What is most valuable about Skype for Business is that almost everyone knows about it and almost everyone has it. You will be able to reach a large number of people."
"I like the seamless integration to local telecommunications."
"Using this solution has helped us to cut long distance calls, as well as video services from third parties."
"The solution is easy to use and includes the ability to text message, video and voice chat, and transfer files."
"Video conferencing to hold virtual meetings helps to prevent employee displacement, where everyone can now enjoy the comfort of their own offices."
"You can do meetings of up to two hundred people in a single conversation."
"We like the easy provisioning of Skype for Business Conferencing."
"I have found Skype for Business to be stable."
"Screen sharing is available but there is no feature for remote access, to take control of another machine."
"Its cost is very high. If you sell it in India, which is a price-conscious market, the prices should be as per the market competition. You cannot charge the rates that are applicable in the US. They should tailor it to the local market. It should be in line with what the competition is offering."
"BlueJeans doesn't allow as much customization of your background in a video call, so that could be improved."
"I haven't had any big challenges. The annotation feature should be improved. So if I need to mark something or point something out, it's there, but it's not that user friendly. Other than that it's fine. In terms of collaboration, I think there could be some improvement."
"I should be able to make a desktop phone call when I click a member of my Lync directory."
"The cost of Skype for Business has room for improvement."
"It would be ideal if the solution could make instant messages more permanent. Currently, if you close the conversation, you lose the instant messages that you shared during the meeting. If those could last beyond the meeting, that would be a great addition, due to the fact that frequently, people give each other key details, important information, or email addresses, etc., during the meeting. If you don't write it down during the meeting, after the meeting closes, it's gone forever. That can be quite frustrating."
"The solution isn't connected to Microsoft Teams, and I feel like there is better communication on that particular solution. The group capabilities are a bit less than Teams."
"There are not many options, in terms of some other third-party integration."
"We overcame the audio quality issues by asking users to use the 'Call Me' feature with their desk phone."
"There are some issues with stability during phone calls. Sometimes the connectivity drops, and it is frustrating."
"I am not familiar with all of the features or whether they can hold conferences because we use Zoom for that. But, in my opinion, if they can do something similar to what Zoom is doing, it will be a complete solution."
