    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.

    If price is not an object, I would always prefer ON24 rather than webinar.net. However, ON24 is much more expensive. Webinar.net is owned by 6Connex, so the integration of webinar.net in 6Connex is recommended if you need to host a webinar in a 6Connex environment. Support staff is nice, but not knowledgeable enough and takes too long. When a presenter plays a video they get muted automatically, even if the video has no sound! So you then have to either unmute the speaker yourself or having him/her doing it which adds to the stress of the moment. We have had a few cases when email reminders didn't go out, even if programmed and saved correctly.

    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
    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.

    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!

    The audience screen doesn't adjust automatically, not even on mobile phones; connection for presenters is difficult, taking time to support them and many times leaving them a bit frustrated. For us, it is not ideal the time it takes to publish content and also the time and quality of the support team replies. However, it has great potential for improvement.

    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).

    They are very kind and readily available online and off-line; however they hardly know the answers and always need to check, making it very lengthy process and sometimes it feels like a bit of a waste of time too. I would suggest they are given more training to start with

    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.

    webinar.net was adopted by our company to replace ON24 since it is much cheaper. We use it in combination with Slido, sometimes. It serves large one-way webinars (up to 1,000 attendees) with limited interaction (polls and Q&A), while for smaller and more interactive online events we keep using Microsoft Teams Meetings or Webinars and Zoom Meetings.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • 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.
