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.

Google Hangouts (Classic)
Score 7.2 out of 10
N/A
The classic version of Google Hangouts is a communication platform that includes messaging, voice, VoIP, and video call capabilities. It was part of Google’s G Suite offering and integrated with applications such as Gmail and Google+. Users of the classic version of Hangouts will be migrated to the new Hangouts Chat collaboration tool, and Google continues to support conferencing via the new Hangouts Meet.
Honestly, I haven't used these platforms very much at all. Google Hangouts was awful, terrible quality audio and video. Zoom was fine- we used the free version but it cut off after 40 minutes and had to keep sending each other a link. So I'm not really sure. Skype-- Eh. I can …
We still use Google Hangouts in addition to BlueJeans, we switched to BlueJeans because Google Hangouts didn't have built-in conference bridges and there were technical problems of some of our clients trying to connect to it. GoToMeeting requires software to be installed, which …
Microsoft Teams is too complicated for what we need and comes with a lot of chat features that we don't need (our organization uses Slack for that). Google Hangouts suffers from poor quality when streaming video, and is almost unusable for large meetings. Zoom is the most …
BlueJeans performs better than Google Hangouts. In terms of connectivity, features, user interface, I personally prefer BlueJeans. Although, when comparing to Zoom, I believe that - even though Zoom has a more complicated user interface to get accommodated with during first …
Zoom is too expansive for individuals. Skype is too old-school and does provide the most advanced features as other products do. Teams are not good at noise and echo suppression. Not many people are using Google hangouts. During the pandemic, I only use it once at a conference. …
I would say Zoom is the best one and then BlueJeans. I would prefer to use Google Hangouts, but it lacks certain features that both BlueJeans and Zoom have.
In the past, we have used Google Hangouts, which worked well for recording office hours and streaming the feed out via YouTube. However, now that Georgia Tech has a site license to BlueJeans, I find it easier to sign in and use via our SSO service.
My primary use of BlueJeans that is not supported by others, at least in my institution, is the in conference rooms. But, I prefer zoom's desktop app's interface and direct connection with the exchange calendar (without relying on Outlook). I also like slacks screen marking …
Each of the mentioned solutions lacks some of the features necessary for my job. We need to record meetings, have a good and stable connection, excellent video quality, and the ability to view shared screens and video of the caller simultaneously. Also necessary to integrate …
BlueJeans offers the highest quality video conference experience, but it doesn't appear to offer integration with phone conferencing, or at least I haven't been able to easily figure out how to integrate phone conferencing.
We've used a number of different platforms over the years. BlueJeans is probably among the top, if not for anything more than the video sharing component.
In its initial release, BlueJeans brought features to the video conference spectrum that were very cutting edge and attractive. Over the years, other video conferencing apps have taken features from others and made it their own. As a whole (and especially now with having been …
BlueJeans was a little cheaper than the other options available. The cost was the primary reason for selecting BlueJeans. Join.me was the previous software that we used at the company and we had some issues with being very slow to load at times while having our meetings at the …
BlueJeans had the reliability and reputation and this is why we went with them for our solution in the first place. We had GoToMeeting and still currently have Hangouts but the feel of GTM was that it was always struggling to keep up with quality and Hangouts was limited for …
I did not select BlueJeans. BlueJeans is the system that was in place already. We are a joint venture located within one of our parent companies' offices, and they have all of their conference rooms set up with Bluejeans. While video conferencing can be sketchy on any platform, …
I described the ways BlueJeans surpasses GoToMeeting previously. But we found that to be a very unreliable platform. Hangouts I would say functions better in a low bandwidth, and also suddenly drops you if it senses you are a different person than who logged in. However, …
Google Hangouts integrates into our current workflows well (we use g-suite) and is quite user friendly. It is great for small to mid-size internal team meetings. It is also good for informal client meeting. There are other cases where other tools are needed/superior for the …

Chose Google Hangouts (Classic)
Google is the white cotton socks of the conferencing world. It’s a great ad-hoc tool, but not too much more. If you are not looking to spend money or operate completely on WiFi (without data charges), it’s a great free option as well. The benefit of being free and open is also …
