The BlueJeans Meetings platform supported video, audio and web conferencing with the collaboration tools, as a cloud service that connects desktops, mobile devices and room systems in one video meeting. It was acquired in 2020 by Verizon and discontinued in the sunsetting of the BlueJeans product line by Verizon, in 2023.

Chose BlueJeans Meetings (discontinued)
GoToMeeting is more helpful for recording sessions, but BlueJeans has an easier-to-use mobile app and polling system. BlueJeans is about on par with Zoom in terms of reliability and functionality, in my experience.
We used GoToMeeting for a long time. Had a multiplicity of issues through the use of the software, in addition to the cost, which was triple the cost of implementing BlueJeans. We currently have a ZOOM account as well, as some clients specifically asked to communicate via Zoom, …
I've utilized and upheld many gathering items in my vocation (Zoom, gotomeeting, WebEx) and BlueJeans Meetings certainly has the least hindrance to getting a quick meeting started and is one of the easiest platforms to support.
Select Blujeans Meetings because it allows me to better convey my ideas and at the same time build trust through real-time videoconferences. As well as sharing documents and presentations via screen sharing, I love the option to record play and then share the recording to …

Chose BlueJeans Meetings (discontinued)
Not only 3, there are many other I tried but as I disclosed earlier, i faced problems in terms of audio and video quality. I always concern about these 2 criteria because I will be regularly in contact with clients. The reason I selected BlueJeans especially for this criteria …
We needed a tool that allowed our external users to effortlessly join and collaborate with our internal team. This is where this tool really shines compared to some of the others. BlueJeans fit the need and when it was time for collaboration we were thrilled to hear BlueJeans …
My organization selected BlueJeans because the project co-lead was already used to holding meetings on it before, and wanted to continue using it for the new project they were part of. I would say BlueJeans is more 'old school' than the other options, not as widely used as …
BlueJeans is amazing because it's simple, it's reliable, it does the job it is intended for without extra bells and whistles.
Staff has the confidence that they don't have to fiddle with overly complicated software to to make a presentation or share their point of view during a …
BlueJeans is head and shoulders above all other VC products we evaluated including MS Teams.
Functionality does exist in the other platforms which we would like to see on BlueJeans but not at the expense of the quality service we currently receive.
Zoom and Webex work pretty well, and I would say those are my top three choices. BlueJeans seemed to be the best fit for us with the price point package they offered. The only downside is that I feel like the other two are more widely used at this time and therefore easier to …
BlueJeans is and continues to be at the top of my list as it is easily command-able and very user-friendly. I admit that I can be swayed to listen to pitches from other products, but I will state that "Well BlueJeans can..." often. The other products have their perks, but …
Easier to schedule meetings in BlueJeans, and far easier to automatically record and share webinars, compared to Adobe. I don’t use Cisco Webex much since it is inferior to Adobe.
I like BlueJeans better than both GoTo Meeting and Zoom. I don't like the room listing on GoTo and I find Zoom's interface cumbersome. I definitely like BlueJeans' simple desktop app interface, very intuitive.
I prefer BlueJeans to the other technologies we've evaluated. It has the best combination of video/audio quality and user experience. Many of the other technologies require downloading the app or simply have a bad experience. They're all flawed in their own way, BlueJeans seems …
Even though its alternatives are more popular and have a wide range of features, I prefer using GoTo Meeting because it's very user-friendly and less complicated. For fast and simple online meetings, I would choose GoTo Meeting over its alternatives.

Chose GoTo Meeting
GoTo Meeting closely stacks up to other video conference platforms. That being said, Zoom seems to have the best integration for businesses, while GoTo Meeting has some of the best security I have seen in a video conferencing platform. GoTo Meeting is fairly seamless in …
goTo Meeting is great for keeping our teams connected both internally as well as with customers. It's easy for us to use, easy for customers to use and easy to create and manage meetings. I've used other products that make it difficult to sign in and GoTo does not have that …
we wanted alternatives and improvements in the meetings, and some apps have limitations of participants or tools for use in live meetings, as well as testing the interface and if the use is easy and intuitive for everyone also that there is a good reliability of the app for use …
While each of these products are similar, we had already been using GoTo Meeting prior to availability of the others. The price point of the competitors is enticing and is something that should be taken into consideration, but we have had no issues with GoTo Meeting. The …
GoTo Meeting is a solid contender in the video conferencing solution market. It does some things incredibly well and is clearly a market leader when it comes to webinar-style conferencing. Other things it is less strong in, like co-authoring or multiple conflicting technical …
I selected GoTo Meeting for all my online callings because of the video and audio qualities it offers,it gives the best qualities making all our online meetings so effective. It has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface giving exceptional call qualities and they have …
GoTo Meeting ended up costing less than a comparable Zoom enterprise license, though it's still an additional cost over Microsoft Teams, which we are technically already paying for as part of our O365 subscription. Functionality is largely the same as Zoom, though end-users who …
GoTo Meeting is the best in terms of quality and performance. It features unlimited meetings with no time limits and can be deployed from the mobile app, browser or desktop app.
There is little to choose from when looking at a lot of the platforms in terms of video quality and ease of use. I have preferred Zoom more recently as it seems to work a lot better. BlueJeans is excellent in terms of sounds and video quality as well. PowWow Now is much worse …
GoToMeeting is the gold standard when it comes to overall value and connection quality. Others, such as Slack and Google Hangouts, require other users to have accounts and be existing users (and even then, there are limitations in terms of connecting various groups). The …
GoToMeeting is about as easy to use as Zoom and BlueJeans. It is comparable to Amazon Chime, but less integrated than Google Hangouts/Chat. Almost all these solutions include file sharing, screen sharing, chat, and polling. The most helpful features are dial-in numbers and …
GoToMeeting is on par with these other platforms. There are pros and cons to each. The main difference is what users prefer to use based on the features and type of meeting available. For example, some companies have conference rooms that are built with Zoom or Hangouts …
GoToMeeting is well known, and it has pedigree in the space. For internal use, I would recommend a solution that it is part of your existing back-office infrastructure.
Collaboration with team members, clients and partners who spread out across the globe is made simple by Bluejeans meeting. As an Application developer it is easier for me to collaborate with people from various cultures and time zones so this is very important.
For code review , it plays an excellent role, it enables real time screen sharing and code discussion among my team, this facilitate quicker and more effective bug detection and correction.
Pair programming is a great use for it. It make possible for two programmers to collaborate on same code even when they are not physically near to each other.
GoTo meeting is great for quick and painless virtual meetings. I have used it many times to quickly organize projects and staff into a simple meeting. Generally speaking, we have been able to share screens, cameras, and collaborate on important projects. Where it starts to fall short is in the presentation or training area. It is difficult for students to interact with things like reactions, taking control of a screen, or letting the presenter know they have a question.
Bluejeans' ability to record meetings would be beneficial for future references like If I ever needed to revisit a discussion or training sessions, I could access the recorded content, eliminating the need to take extensive notes during meeting.
Calendar program and messaging services are just a couple of the productivity and collaboration tools that Bluejeans frequently integrates with, scheduling of meeting and team members communication would become more efficient as a result.
Typically, bluejeans provides mobile app, making it usable on tables and smartphone, this enables me to take part in a meeting even if I am not near a computer system.
Audio - many of my customers cannot use PC audio because their microphones are not recognized
When I send out a meeting invite from Outlook, the message includes a default link to Teams, so there is much confusion at the time the meeting starts. Most users end up in Teams while I wait in GTM
The screen share options are quite confusing for my customers. They never know what to share or how to share
I have used many other competing platforms platforms; however, despite the fact that BlueJeans lacks certain features others offer, familiarity, ease of use, and several things BlueJeans does better than others mean that I will stick to BlueJeans. Further, whenever I have faced a problem, I have found BlueJeans support excellent overall; no lengthy wait to understand and resolve an issue. Good product, great support, BOTH TESTED OVER TIME; I do not have an incentive to move to another platform.
While we have found GoTo Meeting to be very useful and a part of our normal way of doing business, there are alternatives that are more cost-effective. For example, Microsoft Teams is available as part of our M365 subscription. This will require us to complete a cost analysis to determine which product makes more sense for us to move forward with.
I don't have much experience of joining a meeting from an attendee of someone else's. As for joining a meeting I've created, it's very easy. For recurring meetings, I find the meeting in my list, and if it's near the time to start, there will be a "Join" button, and I just push that. After that, it gives me the options for joining -- video, audio, phone, screen share only. It remembers my previous choices, so mostly I just can click by that. As for attendees joining, there do seem to be connection problems from time to time and people have to log off and come back on, but we had that trouble with GoToMeeting also. Being able to mute attendees is much better in BlueJeans. When we had GoToMeeting, I constantly had problems with people joining by phone incorrectly, such that they didn't even show up in the meeting list and thus I couldn't mute them when needed.
The simplicity of GoToMeetings desktop, mobile, and web-based applications make it a very robust and user-friendly meeting solution. At times, it may be more complex than needed, but it is nice to have so many features that can be used if needed. Once installed, it is very easy to use and navigate.
This has been a continual issue with our organization. We are a IP/H323 infrastructure so we integrate BlueJeans via the IP/H323 connections to the cloud. We still have inconsistent results with calls. Some work without issue and some calls are horribly choppy and at times freeze. If I have one complaint or reason to seek out a different competitor its this
In all these years, there has been ONE instance when a problem I pointed out (with screenshots, no less) was DENIED. That apart, though there have been a few instances where there has been a delay in resolution (more to do with offering new features), I have NEVER felt frustrated about help not being on hand when I needed it most.
When we have issues, they seem to respond quickly and do everything they can to help us. They have even tried to find other ways we could get more use out of their product, or improve the way we are currently using it. Overall, their support has been fairly good for us.
For me its a simple video conferencing call tool, and implementation is simply setup user account give quick tutorial during the newhire orientation faze and then the user is good to go. There is not much you need to do to get this operational. sure if you want more security there are a couple extra steps but overall simply
Select Blujeans Meetings because it allows me to better convey my ideas and at the same time build trust through real-time videoconferences. As well as sharing documents and presentations via screen sharing, I love the option to record play and then share the recording to colleagues who couldn't attend is what's needed.
We use Zoom for the entire organization because it’s far more cost effective. But, my role as training manager requires my use of GTM to allow all the required features that make my training sessions the most productive. I would always prefer to use GTM over Zoom because the platform is so easy and user friendly yet amazingly powerful. Zoom has the features for the most part, but they aren’t as intuitive to use in my experience
I believe BlueJeans is easy to scale, but we have a different business model that requires a more central scheduling need. Most vendors operate on an enterprise wide environment with a one to one licensing. We have a centralized group of video administrators and schedulers that do the majority of the scheduling for multiple departments. Because we are a centralized scheduling group we need shared access to on schedule not multiple users delegating access to one another. I.E. if I have 5 schedulers, under the current licensing they would each have individual accounts and delegating those accounts to one another. So when receiving a support call they have to search 5 individual schedules to make changes to meetings. This I think is a valid need even for smaller businesses that just have a few schedulers for the rest of the groups. It would be easier if it scaled within the individual accounts
All-Hands meetings were improved to feel less like a prerecorded video show and more like an actual conversation using BlueJeans.
Client meetings remained smooth in the transition to working-from-home with easy video calling and scheduling.
These were the main points that helped my department, as I am unfamiliar with how BlueJeans was implemented in external sales uses, but I imagine it was equally helpful for meetings when in-person was not available.
