Join.me (discontinued)Webex Meetings
Considered Both Products
Join.me (discontinued)
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
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 …
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
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 …
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
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)
It's faster, cheaper, and it just works. As I said, I don't have to think about it.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Join.me beats its competitors on pricing, but beyond that its competitors have a much richer feature set.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Webex has a higher quality video and audio output, but it still depends on bandwidth. Join.me is significantly cheaper, offers a free version, and is much easier to set up. While the video and audio quality with Join.me isn't as great as Webex, it still gets the job done and is …
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
I was not the decision maker in my department who chose join.me, but in my experience, Join.me is much less consistent and user-friendly than WebEx
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Similar offerings. Join.me was selected due to easy, consistent management. Quickly embraced by our teams, uses the hardware already in place. Each user gets his / her private meeting space or can generate a one time code for ad-hoc meetings. In general, join.me provided …
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
I do like join.me for shorter presentations but I think it could use an upgrade. It’s great that each meeting creates its own link which is easy to send to others.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Join me is so much easier to use than other products we have used. We currently use 2 products as backups (for security reasons) and have always preferred the ease of use associated with Join me. The personalised URL and web browser viewing without other software installations …
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Lower cost, easier to use, available across different geographies
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Honestly most of these are about the same in terms of functionality. Join.me has a competitive price but is not necessarily the cheapest. We selected it to consolidate things internally.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
For quick, simple, and sporadic meetings it is great. Low barrier to entry. Super easy to use, especially when you are on a bind and need to act fast.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
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.
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Head to head join me is quicker to use and is easier to use. It requires literally nothing to install unlike the other applications, which makes it the best choice when working with users who are less technical. join.me is the fastest to get started and share with your users. …
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
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 …
Webex Meetings
Chose Webex Meetings
Skype for Business is used much more widely in the organization now because it is a lot cheaper for internal-only meetings. However, Skype does seem to have even more audio connection issues than WebEx. Our C-Suite also uses BlueJeans for their quarterly review webinars, and it …
Chose Webex Meetings
We actually use a variety of the offerings. We have a few Join.me accounts because sometimes that is easier for calling/screen sharing meetings. We opted against UberConference because although it was the most cost-effective, we found calls were being dropped regularly. For …
Chose Webex Meetings
Initially, Webex was the most reliable, secure, and feature-rich option on the market when we started our online schools 12 years ago. Skype was much more of a social platform (prior to Skype Business) and we wanted to communicate to potential school partners and parents that …
Chose Webex Meetings
Webex Meetings is unmatched since it provides powerful and easy-to-use features. It is highly customizable to suit your business needs. I like how it allows me to engage with employers, customers, and co-workers.
Chose Webex Meetings
I think Webex is about the same in terms of functions, compared to the others listed at the top of this. If you think about it there are only so many things that a screen share meeting platform can do. That being said Webex is heavier and slower to load than some the web …
Chose Webex Meetings
In my experience WebEx is the most mature, fully featured and reliable solution of it's type i have used. We chose WebEx years ago when this space had far fewer competitors. But WebEx continues to innovate and add more capabilities to keep it at the front of this market segment.
Chose Webex Meetings
With Cisco Webex Meetings, you can integrate with Outlook, and you can share selected applications and not only your screen. We had an improved audio experience as well with Cisco Webex.
Chose Webex Meetings
As a consultant, we have the opportunity to use many web conferencing software with our client organizations. WebEx falls right in the middle for the technologies. In my opinion, it's better than Skype for Business but not as good as newer web-conferencing technologies like …
Chose Webex Meetings
I use these regularly; there are also other tools out there I've used once or twice, but these two are the major ones I've stuck with.

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.

Webex Meetings is more suitable for 1V1 virtual meetings. The tool helps us to engage with the candidate and able to understand their emotions and expressions in real time. Though it is a virtual meeting tool but If we use it effectively it is a high ROI tool for all. We use Webex Meetings in our company for HR interviews, Sales meetings, And for webinars we will not be using it.

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.

  • We have a global and diverse team with different devices and operating systems. Webex works smoothly on all of them and everyone can collaborate in real-time saving a lot of time and effort, making meetings much more productive.
  • We can easily capture discussion points and decisions for future reference, without the need for manual note-taking. It helps us in smaller group discussions and brainstorming sessions within the main meeting itself.
  • I can even tailor the layout to suit the meeting's purpose and agenda. Webex is intuitive and easy to navigate, even for non-technical users, joining and scheduling meetings is a smooth process.

Cons
Discontinued Products
  • 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.

  • While sharing the content of browsers like Chrome or Firefox it becomes difficult to toggle from one tab to another due to menu dropdown from the top.
  • Sometimes while joining a meeting it asks you to download the app again even if it's downloaded.
  • Limited scheduling option through mobile WebEx app

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!

Webex Meetings does not provide enough audio feedback for users with visual disabilities to properly navigate the tool. Students, faculty, and staff who are blind or have low vision may not be able to use Webex Meetings. Users with motor disabilities that navigate via keyboard, may not be able to navigate the web conferencing session enough to participate fully.

So personally I have never faced any kind of meeting unavailability issue while scandaling meeting with WebEx the bandwidth is really good and in terms of application performance the same is my opinion what I mentioned for availability it is good and the objective of communication is quite fruitfully achieved with a simple and effective product like WebEx which is often bundled with the purchase of course which is which we have at our company and great discount is being offered so it is easy on our pocket. I really don't have any specific errors which have faced I should mention over here the operation or application uses is quite smooth.

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).

I gave this rating for overall support on Webex meetings because if something goes wrong we have the best support here and rarely need to go to help.webex.com. Multiple people have been appropriately trained so finding the answers to any issues we occur is very simple here at work.

It was straight to the point and very informative. effective training often includes clear explanations, hands-on practice opportunities, time for questions and answers, real-world examples, and follow-up support. If you're trying to assess the quality of a specific training session, you might consider these factors. For organizations looking to assess the quality of their in-person training, it's best to solicit feedback directly from the participants. This can be done through anonymous surveys or feedback sessions, enabling the organization to gather firsthand information and improve future training sessions accordingly.

That we needed complex implementation that we didn't get tells me 2 things: 1) the product was not designed in a way that "just worked" like some of its peers (Zoom / BlueJeans) and 2) had our company defined actual user needs and validated / verified that they had bought something that matched those, we would have pursued features / designs more closely aligned with what the product actually does: screen share, sometimes video, definitely VOIP audio (always an option regardless of license), and easy recording and retrieval of meetings.

The Deskpro system can be integrated very well into the Webex solution and can also be used by employees from their workplace. The integration is simple and can be easily implemented. Unfortunately, the loading times of the devices and the delay are a bit annoying and can be seen as a bit negative in everyday use.

  • 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.

  • The costly nature of individual accounts across multiple schools made it difficult to maintain the budget when our student population grew exponentially.
  • Often communicated to clients and stakeholders that we were a trustworthy and elevated provider.
  • Limited engagement and interactive features with students often contributed to complaints around student engagement and buy-in.
