Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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.""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."

"It was just chosen because somebody at the company said, "We need a meeting thing. Hey, go find a meeting thing." It wasn't me, but somebody else in the organization was like, "Alright, let's use GoToMeeting. It's free."""GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use.""It's cost-effective.""Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices.""GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting.""I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips.""We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place.""The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."

Cons
"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."

"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow.""The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market.""The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to.""Manageability needs to be improved.""GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it.""The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings.""The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users.""In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I once tried buying it for myself, but it was very costly. It is quite expensive as compared to other solutions. With BlueJeans, there are carrier charges if you call the toll-free number. The customer doesn't pay for the call, but the buyer or the subscriber of BlueJeans has to pay for it. That is where BlueJeans becomes very costly, and that is where Google, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom are very helpful because you don't have to pay these charges."

  • "Negotiate for discounts."
  • "It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
  • "GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
