User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	If you're on a bit of a budget the pricing for Join.me definitely makes it an easy choice. We were able to download it and get it up and running for free on a few of my teammates PCs that needed assistance with some computer setup. It can be a little confusing to access some of the features at first but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy to use. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it for extremely large meetings, but it's excellent for smaller groups. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We use it in the retail sphere. It is convenient to use screen sharing cause we work with lots of chats. I believe it is suitable for all types of companies due to VM's tools. It's difficult to say that it can be inappropriate for somebody because it is a thing that we use almost every day. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Join.me has provided us many features that made it possible for us to communicate. Another plus point is its staff which is pretty good ‘professional and highly supportive and is always there for help. We can also connect with people outside our region and with its advanced functionality we have found it as the best audio conference software than any other software of its type. it has made our audio meeting experience very effective. Incentivized Donna-sue Carpenter SMS Routing Manager Read full review	Wide range of tools Mid-tier price Good video quality Natalia Ruznyaeva Assistant Brand Manager Marketing Read full review
Cons	In my experience when using the mobile app the quality drops when on cellular data, even with a strong signal. Given the current challenges, teams Face ID like to see the mobile capabilities get some improvement as it doesn’t seem to be optimized when not on a PC or wireless network. Incentivized John Cupoli Business Development Read full review	Do updated not so often Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	This platform enables a very high ROI for the solution that it provides to our team to support our end-users. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	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! Incentivized Christopher Page, MBA Digital Marketing Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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). Incentivized Samarah Sardoni Lead Project Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	This is a fairly simple product which doesn't require much "implementation" work for our use cases. Incentivized Chris Whisonant Lead Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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 have found much less utility since we use Zoom which is affordable, provides a more robust and cohesive user experience, and now also provides remote access when granted. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Skype is complicated to use for work. Microsoft Teams is more expensive and has a lot of tools that are not necessary for us. Natalia Ruznyaeva Assistant Brand Manager Marketing Read full review
Return on Investment	We have been able to beat the learning curve as Join.me is almost self explanatory to most of our team. The cost per user ratio can feel a bit expensive but for the speed and convenience we feel it was the right investment The biggest ROI is time, being able to go from email to meeting in a few clicks makes Join.me feel natural and not just another "video conferencing" tool that we use.
