We have tried a number of online meeting platforms since 2010 when we first commenced our online and international programs. Although Join.Me was a mainstay for us at first--affordable, safe, and great way to provide remote access that other platforms failed to provide--now we …

We selected Google Meet because we didn't necessarily need the unique URL or a dedicated app for screen sharing. We found that Google Meet was sufficient in getting everything we need for our team meetings, as well as meetings with the clients.

If you're looking for something basic that handles a little bit of everything when it comes to meetings, screen shares and remote desktop control join.me is a great options. If you're a super user and really wanting a lot of detailed features and rich user interfaces and money …

Honestly it is one of 3 that I use on a daily basis depending on what my clients prefer or use. But it is my favorite because of the ease of use and its calendaring and reminder abilities that is prefer it above others and recommend it when possible. Maybe the others do these …

Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet are better and I prefer them over Join.me. It is a good cheap alternative.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
We used Join.me as our web conferencing tool before switching over to Google Meet. Using the Google suite of products made Google Meet the easier choice.

[LogMeIn] is better remotely controlling computers and chatting but Join.me is better for meeting purposes. It also allows you to interact with your calendar. The two products are great with features to satisfy all. [LogMeIn] however is a lot more expensive for small …

Join.me has many shortcomings when it comes to comparison with Webex. I believe Webex is by far the best however there is a small piece of the of the market for Join.me. Join.me was too late to the game and lacks in features on top of it.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
We started using Teams to communicate at first. But sometimes we had issues with it connecting to the server. Also installing it seemed to have issues from time to time. We had a really hard time working with Microsoft technical support. We had to put in several tickets before …

Join.me works well for all our issues, so we have had no need to use another solution.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
They both have their good and bad things but to me Join.me feels like there's less steps to get things done. Zoom is more robust but I'm also paying a lot more for it and it can be cumbersome at times to set up meetings. I've had far more issues using Zoom than Join.me.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Join.Me was a legacy subscription that carried over, there was no longer a need or desire to use Join.Me when everyone is so accustomed to Teams.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
It is a fundamental tool in today's world of work. Join.me is very simple to use and compatible with all devices. Also, it is a stable platform with a good price.

I have been a Skype user for over 10 years and while it has its pros, I think Join.me provides ease of use that cannot be found on Skype or Zoom. Basecamp is more of a project management tool but it has some video conferencing features that can be used. If I was to rate these …
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Join.me is a fabulous application that can streams lively. We are highly obsessed with its live conversation feature which is best rather than other alternatives such as Zoom or Skype. There is no need to gather the employee in meeting rooms. We can deal with the whole world by …

With the exception of stability on cellular data, I feel Join.Me outperforms Zoom or Teams in ease of use and a robust feature selection that is extremely user-friendly and easy to pick up. The recording feature makes your call recording available quickly and you can easily …

A bit pricer but gets the job done.

Join.me is less integrated with your email and schedule, but is way more user friendly. Skype is good internally, but is nowhere as effective with client facing communication. From a quality standpoint, Join.me compares well against their competitors. I have never had issues …

Screen sharing and visibility work particularly well with Join.me, we haven't encountered any interruptions during our exchanges or any difficulties that would require technical support.

I would neither recommend nor dissuade anyone from using Join.Me. When it first came on the scene, it was a game-changer as far as providing remote access to other authorized individuals and helped save a great deal of time trying to walk someone less proficient through all the detailed steps of computer repair. However, with the proliferation of Zoom and other conferencing products that also provide built-in remote access through its service, the need for a separate application is now limited and not as essential as its own product.

Pros
Discontinued Products
  • No need to download anything to get started. Once you sign up you can get started from within your browser. This is probably the single best feature, its a get up and go solution for video conferencing and you do not need any software for it to work.
  • The one click join a meeting URL is genius. Users who struggle with remembering passwords or invites can just click a link and immediately participate in a meeting which means one email and a couple of clicks and a meeting can start.
  • Good control features - As the main user, you have many control features including deciding who can speak, annotations, screen sharing easily.
  • Screen Recordings to the Cloud - This can save on time when you have had a long conference, you can save a recording to the cloud and download it later.

Cons

  • There should be a complete guide to understand its features before installation because if one feature will be missed then, we can’t get them working properly.
  • Furthermore, there should be high-quality internet for getting its function and it won’t work without good network coverage.
  • I think its interface is a little hard for beginners and is not that user friendly.

Join.me is one of the easiest programs I've ever used. It's so easy to get it set up and installed and even easier for someone to join a meeting. The controls are very intuitive and labeled appropriately. The UIX makes sense. It's been a reliable product in my app stack-I love it!

I honestly haven't reached out to their Support team. I get notifications of what they are working on which is good to see, but I haven't directly spoken with any of them. I think my main reason for this is that join.me gives me just what I need (not much more and not much less).

  • Customer support solution - join.me has made it so much easier to quickly get with a customer and see their trouble and show them a solution. This saves lots of back and forth time and gives the customer more power over owning their solution.
  • More efficient communication - without join.me we would waste time going back and forth on emails or slack trying to get our message across. Join.me lets us quickly show AND tell others what's going on. I honestly don't know how we ever functioned without it.
