Again, join.me has many of the same issues the TeamViewer or Webex have, such as dropped connections, laggy, jitter, etc. These are expected with over the public internet/cloud services such as these. I think where Join.me is a step above is how easy it is to set up and get a …
I have used Join.me, DameWare and TeamViewer. Join.me has the least amount of hassle in regards to quick setup. Dameware often times fails and has to be installed manually. TeamViewer drops the connection often and requires you to start the whole process again.
Since Join.me is free, it's not really fair to compare to all paid products. However, since Join.me is free and IS comparable to pay for products, that speaks in and of itself. While the screen refresh is a little slow, and there are some extra clicks users have to do to permit …
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 …
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.
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 …
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.
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.
Compared to Adobe Connect, Join.me is very easy to install and rollout across the organization. Companies of any size can adopt this application for easy and effective conference calls, impromptu meetings and recording sessions. Cost-wise, it was easy to justify the purchase as …
Join.me is the easiest and quickest of all of the tools, but the least functional and efficient for long-term use. If an end user is unsure of providing unattended remote access, it remains as a top tool. Otherwise, once connected, installation and use of the other tools are …
I use Skype for personal video calls, and Zoom for business calls internally. The video and audio quality is better on zoom - but if you're not already a member, it can be a bit confusing to set up for a client who has never used it. Hence, we use join.me for people who don't …
Overall, it is generally more simple for users to start their own sessions with join.me than the other solutions. This is the primary reason we tend to use join.me over the others. However, we tend to use GoToMeeting when we are doing presentations or conference calls.
The features provided with Join.me are better as compared to its peers. Voice quality and seamless screen sharing is better, thus providing a good user experience in communication.
Join.me and Webex allow for remote desktop sharing, but typically for meetings or instances. They do not offer the constant connection that teamviewer does. The user must be on the computer and type in the code provided by the remote user. The unlimited personal trial nature of …
After using WebEx, LogMeIn, and Join.me we went with TeamViewer since it had all the required features for all the users across all the business units in our division. TeamViewer not only had the best list of features, but it also had the easiest way to deploy it across all our …
Prior to buying TeamViewer we extensively reviewed a number of different platforms:
AnyDesk - this is a simpler remote access platform, but I found it to be too temperamental with the connection and more often than not I would have to go to the PC instead.
In comparison, in terms of support TeamViewer is some distance ahead as it worked more reliably in terms of speed over the internet with less quirks occurring. I was also in most cases able to see administrative screens when prompted, which was an issue especially in Teams. Jo…
Screen sharing in Zoom is not very good, as we faced a screen blackout issue during remote control, but Team Viewer provides a better environment for remote control. It is easy to access other computers by using a key, and it provides many things during meetings, increasing …
We have to use one or the other access software depending on our client. However, if available, we prefer TeamViewer, as it provides more control and easy access.
This tool's security is astounding, and it offers two-factor authentication to protect the data. Additionally, the recording options enable us to record meetings in high definition and share them directly from the dashboard. It is a lightweight tool that can be quickly set up …
TeamViewer is much easier to use than Zoom. It has just enough features and is simple to install. It really works well for those that are not computer savvy.
Really the closest thing is Zoom. Zoom doesn't have nearly the level of security of TeamViewer, and generally, all of Zoom's features were lower quality. Worse screen-share/remote control, file sharing was not secure, poor audio quality. It was generally just unattractive …
All platforms and products are similar and each have their strengths and weaknesses so it is hard to generalize given that everyone's needs are different, but TeamViewer has proven to us to be not only versatile, easy to deploy and have a small foot print but also very secure …
TeamViewer is better than RDS because of the way it handles the video. At the core, they are both remote control applications. However the method for implementation is quite different. RDS gives you 90% experience of physically being at the terminal but TeamViewer gives you …
We are investigating the use of Microsoft Teams We currently use Zoom and find that most higher education institutions are on this platform as well so that helps with usage and understanding of the program
Reliability and constant connection was what set it apart. I dont even think it has any direct competitor since none of the other tools I used had the option to leave the software running and maintain a constant connection.
Skype for Business is perfect for calls and chat, but TeamViewer is better for remote control access. Zoom is great for conference calls, especially if you have less internet bandwidth or a less powerful computer. Zoom is light weight compare to TeamViewer but doesn't have as …
TeamViewer, as currently used is probably the best of the applications I have used, right up there with Bomgar. With Bomgar, we are actually administrating, and we love the back-end features of Bomgar, i.e. I can access the remote servers\workstations on the back-end without …
Used different products like TeamViewer. TeamViewer is free and a lot of end users know about installing the software as it is easy to install. Other products like Zoom have higher payment plans for purchasing and less number of users are supported with respect to TeamViewer. …
I have the possibility to add devices as contacts with a user account. It's the chosen application to use in my department. The program is so lightweight and reliable.
Originally TeamViewer had great technology and a good price. What drew me to it was that it was cheaper than LogMeIn Rescue and you could purchase a perpetual license. It soon became clear that they broke functionality between older and new versions. If you plan on only …
Teamviewer provides an easy to install and configure solution that is much easier to deploy than its competitor ScreeConnect. Pricing is competitive and support has been excellent. Teamviewer has been in the space longer than must companies and has the experience to provide a …
I have used TightVNC, Jump, and RDP for remote access and Zoom and WebEx for screensharing. All of them have relatively complicated setup and require quite a bit of preparation on both ends. I definitely prefer team viewer for remote access and screen sharing, but it lacks …
The application works very well across all platforms - Windows, Windows Phone, Andriod, Linux, Mac, IOS. There is no doubt, that no matter the end users' OS or platform that we can confidently access their device for a quick and easy resolution. The TeamViewer application is …
UberConference was the easiest one I've used, but the call quality was terrible which was the main factor behind why we switched. GoToMeeting and Join.me were great solutions as well, but Zoom was next in ease of use. The call quality was the best we found and easiest for …
We used Join.me and GoToMeeting before. There is really no comparison. The video and audio quality is much better and our internal user satisfaction scores are off the charts compared to these other tools. Nothing else has come close to Zoom yet. The Zoom Rooms also really are …
Zoom is amazing for video calls and conference calls and is very lightweight. Slack is better when it comes to chatting but in my opinion, Zoom is better with calls. Skype might be cheaper but I think you get more value from Zoom. Screenshare is big on TeamViewer but Zoom can …
Google Hangouts is free, and it's a decent product if you're in the Google ecosystem, but everything from scheduling to screen sharing is just a little harder to do, and the quality and reliability of calls is quite a bit worse.
GoToMeeting has solid quality and reliability, but …
Zoom is definitely better than Skype. It stacks very well with TeamViewer and LogMeIn Rescue when it comes to actual online meeting and controlling the remote systems. It is better than TeamViewer as it does not require any purchase or full application installation by the …
Join.me is not the most reliable tool. It would break on us before and during meetings. Our go-to-market team has had no issues with Zoom's reliability. Our office also has Skype for Business for our phone line, and can be used for video meetings. We use Skype for Business …
Join.me is like Zoom's kid brother. He's a nice guy, similar to Zoom, but ultimately hasn't matured to where Zoom is today. GoToMeeting is like the neighborhood kid that eats glue. There is no comparing Zoom to Glue-Kid. Zoom will continue to get good grades, excel in sports, …
TeamViewer is sloppy, and its SSO sign-in is faulty. I am so glad the company steered towards Zoom for all communications.

i find Zoom Workplace comparable to GoTo Meeting in most aspects. i find zoom superior to LogMeIn and Teams for taking control of client computers - it's support of shortcuts is perfect, while the other products don't handle shortcuts correctly - they fire the shortcut on your …
We actually use both Teams and Zoom. We mainly use Zoom for meetings with people outside our organization. We regularly host meetings and conferences. It has made things a lot easier for us. It is a universal platform that everyone can use with little to no issues. We like the …
Zoom is the best enterprise level video software, especially when taking meetings with more than 5 people who are all in different locations. Zoom gives you the ability to host polls, Q&A, and a smorgasbord of other specific features that competitors don't have. The only …
We started testing the tool and quickly changed everything. We chose to use it because it worked very well and with a higher quality than expected. Today we do not think of using another tool because it is meeting all our needs. We managed to keep the team updated and united, …
I like Zoom over Join.me because of the Google Calendar integration that it has. The screen sharing also goes both ways between the meeting host and attendee. I like that a lot. We also use Highfive, as it allows for us to share the meetings to our in office TVs.
We have found other conferencing solutions to either be too expensive or make it slightly more complicated to actually get a meeting up and going. In our environment, speed is everything. If I want to talk to have an impromptu meeting with someone, I don't want to be fumbling …
Zoom is lightweight and easy to use with external users across multiple ecosystems. Easy to share and integrate with meetings and standard business practices make Zoom a go-to solution for collaboration with IT and Marketing teams. Other systems are clunky and resource hungry, …

Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom is more reliable and has greater integration options. The ability to be able to use multiple features that fit our needs perfectly.
I was fairly satisfied with these other solutions when we had them, but after using Zoom for a few months I much prefer it. The video quality with Zoom makes it easy to see faces and converse face to face rather than just with audio. Zoom also has better settings and …
Zoom is far and away the most reliable of any meeting tool I have used. It loads quickly, no one ever unexpectedly drops off the call, and there are never audio issues, unlike every other tool I have used.
Zoom is one of the most cost-effective and fully feature options for virtual meetings. I have not experienced any lag, and the video and audio are always high quality for my attendees. It's as easy as sending a link, and people are able to connect from a computer or smartphone …
We found that with other solutions, either the meeting client was buggy (UberConference) or had features we’d never use (WebEx). Zoom was found to be much more cost effective than the other solutions we tested, and the call quality was above the rest.
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.
I think it works well for IT management and help desk support of end users. I find it very useful to help users and send files to their desktop. Remote Workers still run into some problems with MFA and updates, both to the TV Host app and OS updates. However, it does give us secure direct access without the need of a VPN.
In most cases, and I mean almost all, Zoom is vastly superior to Teams in terms of functionality and ease of use. Case in point: I recently tried to join a Teams meeting in the web browser, and it took me multiple attempts to access it. This NEVER happens with a Zoom link.
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.
Audio quality of phone calls is spot on. Calls are clear and crisp.
Video quality of video meetings are clear and there aren't any pixelization artifacts that some systems can have.
Having AI summaries have been life changing for us. We no longer have to concentrate on note taking, like we did in the past. The summaries are accurate and enable us to put our efforts in the meeting or conversation. Plus, we can save them into our practice management system as required.
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.
With an iPad, you can't take control of the device, so you have to tell someone what to do. Which can be a challenge because the end user doesn't know what to do
With the free version of TeamViewer you cant enter Admin credentials because TeamViewer blocks the windows to fill in the credentials
The free version can be really limited which can be putting off people because they don't see the full potential of TeamViewer
Allow a way to group individual people chats - not channels just individual peeps into groups for ease of finding - like how you can group shared calendars into sections in Outlook
We need this tool in our day to day business. It is what we do all day remoting into clients devices. In this day and age we can access devices all over the world as long as we have secure internet connection. It certainly saves money in gas, and even if you are away you can help.
We're sticking with Zoom for the foreseeable future--given its compelling feature set, ease of use, and advanced technology, there's just no other competition to be excited about. Plus it's a Gartner-recognized industry leader, so it's a rather easy choice.
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!
TeamViewer is a reliable and really strong tool for accessing remote IT platforms secure and fast. We don't know any product that provide us such strong functionality to make our life as a internationally recognized MES provider with DIAMES with an international clientele so easy. We look forward for any new TeamViewer functionality that supports us even more.
Zoom is made for the non tech office. It has features that can be made to do what you need to run things on a day to day basis. Immediately we we able to get meetings going with remote employees. The ability to be able to add smartphone connected people was a big plus. Zoom met our needs at the time.
There have been less than a handful of outages during our two years with Zoom, and whenever there was one, an email informing us of the outage went out immediately, and they had the issue resolved shortly thereafter.
Zoom has among the best performance of any video conference platform, as I've mentioned several times. Besides that, their Chat platform works great, and their back end always runs smooth. It's unfortunate that reporting can now only be done by one month at a time, but nonetheless, it only takes a second to run any kind of Zoom report, whether it's an attendee report, Poll results, a user report, a list of meetings from the past month, etc.
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).
the few times i have had to contact teamviewer support, they were very responsive and give me quick answers and seemed to understand my problems quickly and easily. I did not have to sit on the phone for hours on hold or get passed around to multiple phone support techs before finding a solution to my issues, so i would rate their support very highly.
Because I got a response right away, and was assigned one specific individual to work with me from the beginning to the resolution. I had an actual email address and direct contact with this person without having to start over and over every time I contacted Zoom - this singular individual remained attentive and was well informed on the subject matter and quite able to resolve my needs.
As expected without any problem! Alternate in-person training is another efficient way to learn how a product works. There are many third party supporters for TeamViewer courses available that can give additional ideas how to use TeamViewer for specific functions and features as we did require in respect of our usage.
I have never used the online training either. I have watched a few informational videos that were helpful when learning how to do a specific procedure within TeamViewer and get the most out of the software by utilizing one of the many features that are available with the software. Again, 5 if for neutral.
TeamViewer installation and deployment to other devices is pretty straightforward and does not require much technical know-how. This makes ease of use attractive when supporting both new and existing clients with limited technical knowledge. I think ease of use is a huge factor in getting new clients. TeamViewer handles that extremely well.
If you receive any pushback from higher ups, point to any of the various positive reviews like this one. Or show Zoom's excellent Gartner report, or articles describing Zoom's partnership with Sequoia capital. It's not difficult to show how Zoom is a trustworthy industry leader with best-in-class technology.
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 is not an issue you may want to consider use specific options.
TeamViewer's cost is much lower than that of other solutions, and its security is far superior to RemotePC's. TeamViewer is also a request-based remote session manager, unlike other software that allows indefinite connection time. TeamViewer's free version makes it even better for one end of the group to find support, while the other end has the paid version.
Zoom Workplace is typically on the more expensive end against other options, but it's the industry leader for a reason. It has the most brand credibility by far, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. There are limitations when it comes to technical performance, customization and video/audio quality. I prefer Slack myself for communication apps, but Zoom Workplace is a good alternative.
The billing and price model is really fair for so many functions that they offer, our remote work requires each of the features that Zoom offers, so accepting payment for a tool like this is the least we can do. I like that billing arrives on time and that they offer opportunities and payment times.
Because the Basic licenses are completely free, and because it's very easy to configure and install Zoom, and because anyone can join Zoom from a link without needing an account, scaling is a Breeze. There are absolutely no roadblocks. My company keeps adding more Zoom Pro license every week since it's so in demand. We were able to convert users from several different platforms onto Zoom with no trouble at all.
Zoom is perfect for our business. We use it to video chat with prospective clients. The name recognition alone gives us credibility and it is very easy to screen share and send content out.
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.
We have not lost much productivity in our teamwork during the pandemic because of the ability to have Zoom video calls and keep everyone in touch. This is definitely a positive.
We are able to have more people participate in coaching sessions (described earlier) because we don't have room space limitations. This is a big positive.
Being able to start a meeting instantly is great when we are doing support and/or training with a client over the phone and need to be able to share a visible
