We use it to welcome our new employees/nonemployees, for requirement purposes, events, etc. It also works perfectly with our Dolby Voice and we use it for conference purposes.
  • Video experience is awesome
  • Ongoing meeting, easy to use
  • Love the sound
  • Dolby Voice
  • Less battery consuming
  • Easier way to change background
BlueJeans is well suited for large events and also for small meetings. I did not experience a case where it is not suitable. I just really enjoy using this application

I use BlueJeans in the telehealth platform, in counseling, and in mental health therapy. I am required to use a HIPAA-compliant video platform that will encrypt the two-way synchronous interaction for my practice. The platform must have the capability to do a screen share and quality audio conferencing.

It's used across the whole organization which is international. We use it to lead online events live, like allHands, webinars, or workshops usually for more than 100 people. Usually, we are using the Q/A section, screen sharing, multiple camera views, broadcasts, and recording events. BlueJeans events is great since the audio and video quality meets our expectations. It's important to us to separate speakers, attendees, and moderators because it's convenient for meeting organizers, so everybody has the rights that they should have and separate chats for moderators or attendees!
  • Audio quality.
  • Video quality.
  • Roles: moderator, presenter, attendee.
  • Live streaming performance.
  • More detailed instructions, it's not very intuitive.
  • Scheduling meeting.
  • Nothing more, great job!
BlueJeans Events is well suited for big live events when you can stream and record video and you don't have to worry about installing external apps to do so. Great separation of moderators, presenters, and attendees. It may be not well suited in small events like less than 10 people. It'd be like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

  • Cost savings for sure.
  • Making events possible since the company is international, so it also increased attendance.
  • Flexible and convenient for hosts.
  • Pleasant audio, so it's a pleasure to hear voices in this quality.
Sometimes, like all systems, it lets us down. Maybe it's the bandwidth's fault, maybe not. I mean performance. Some computers are really heating while using this app, and, basically, there is nothing that we can do about it. CPU usage is quite big. General experience is positive though and I know we are not planning on abandoning BlueJeans.
It's great for more than 100 people, dozens of tools in one place, different groups chats, well organized and flexible, and better audio quality as well as video quality. Different roles and permissions for them, so it's also more secure. It's actually like you can manage your meeting not only before it starts, but mostly, when it already started.
employees, mostly they're from office administration site, but also IT to support some events.
not many skills, just you have to know how create meeting, the rest is intuitive. When someone has some troubles you should be open-minded and think what they might have done wrong and how to help them make it right. I think you should have at least general knowledge how streaming portals work, because it can help you create a proper meeting and fully support it. You can also do it by trial and error method, but when it comes to live meeting, it's proficiency and efficiency that matters.
  • international meetings for more than 50 people
  • local meetings for more than 50 people
  • live-streaming events, which require more than speaking and presenting slides
  • broadcasting full events with different speakers, presentations, locations, additional videos broadcasted from support site to the rest of the participants
  • Honestly, I don't see any, but maybe some interactive meetings with use of whiteboard?
We use it frequently and it has its advantages so I don't see better options for some kind of meetings. The quality of video and audio are great and that's what is very important to us. We like thing being professional. BlueJeans is simple and rich in possibilities. What's more, BlueJeans support is great and professional, they don't forget about their customers.
Yes
In some cases it replaced MS Teams I guess, not sure which was first, but for sure we use both. BlueJeans has a permanent reservation for some types of meeting and I don't think it's going to be replaced. MS Teams was not good for larger meetings, where we have a lot of people speaking, presenting and video quality is more stable on BJ
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
Product Features are the greatest advantage I think. It's not only about video conferencing but also handling bigger conferences, events which require more activities than just speaking with each other. It seems to be very professional and gives a lot of meeting customisation options, which sometimes is very important that the particular meetings has specific settings applied.
I don't think I would change anything. What's important to me is to focus on what are the advantages and disadvantages and why are these best or worst for me. Other people can agree or not, maybe they have different point of view or looking for different qualities in such platform. I appreciate I can truly say what works for me and why.
  • Don't know
  • I was not there at the time it was implemented...
Unfortunately I don't.
I really like site bluejeans.com and how simple it is.You can find there instructions, tips and how to create event or secure it! Of course FAQ is always useful and that's what you can find there too! Of course there is contact to support team which I remember was great and professional. Support Team really cares about their customers and don't forget about them. It feels like you can always count on them and reach out with any kind of question(s) which I think is very important.
I don't think we have premium support.
No
I don't know about this kind of situation taking place ever...Probably because we didn't need it :)
It's like you can custom your meeting as you exactly need it to be set. It's great for bigger events with more than 50 people and the quality of audio as well as video remains stable for the most of the times (taking into account other imperfections for example: network). For smaller events it might me too much but I guess that was not the intention of creating BJ Events :)
  • recording an event
  • interaction options with participants (chat poles)
  • division to moderators, presenters and attendees
  • broadcasting live
  • sharing screen
  • chat not being visible in BlueJeans working with conferencing room (not on computer or phone), so no interaction option other than speaking
Yes, but I don't use it
We've been using BJ Events with big event and it worked as good as smaller one. All meetings were international and it didn't seem like it at all, I mean the quality was great. Maybe time delay was noticeable sometimes (sound to video) but it might also be caused by poor quality of internet connection.
BJ Events is Available always when we need it. There was no situation that we encountered an error or an outage. How are you doing this? :)

We use BlueJeans throughout all of our North American and global offices. We use it primarily for quarterly town hall meetings. We also use it for meetings that require BlueJeans features such as presenters/moderators, allowing certain people with abilities to share content and be visible. In addition, with the pandemic affecting staff to be in the office, we are now using BlueJeans to conduct all virtual meetings, new staff orientations, meetings with vendors, etc.
  • Presenting content w/ video sharing.
  • Ease of connecting into meetings.
  • Abilities for users to connect and use platform.
  • Video clarity can be improved.
  • The “Broadcast” meeting timer can be accurate as users speak after the countdown but it’s not the actual moment to speak.
BlueJeans is good when you want to have limitations on who can be visible, see other attendees, and share content. BlueJeans has also been great during the pandemic where multiple employees conducted meetings with team members as well as clients without a hiccup. BlueJeans has continued to provided great support for our needs, primarily during the pandemic.

  • Increase virtual presence during the pandemic.
Reports load quickly after the event is done. there are some instances where there is a lag in connectivity, depending on the speaker for the meeting.
BlueJeans is better as it is very easy to use, quality is better in both visual and audio, and there are no restriction limits in BlueJeans.

The business functions varies from bankers, administrative assistants, Business Support groups such as IT, facilities, accounting, HR, Legal, etc.
10
The people who are tasked as BlueJean Event support are members of the facilities team, like myself, IT (who would ensure connections are intact in the offices), meeting preppers who ensure person who will be starting the meeting is queued and ready to go, and HR on Q&A segments.
  • Virtual Meeting Capabilities
  • Connectivity with internal/external people
  • Options for meeting configurations
  • Hosting virtual baby showers/birthday parties
  • nothing new at the moment we haven't already done so far
Yes
We were previously using a conference-line calling system, which was very outdated and inefficient with the needs of the company. BlueJeans added ease of not only speaking during a meeting but to also share their document visually so that everyone can see it and not be lost on where the presenter is at.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
Beside factoring our budget, there is nothing else i would have changed in my evaluation process.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled
  • 1 issue was testing to connect between other conference rooms enabled with BlueJeans
Important to gather all infroamtion from client and ensure all basis are acknowledged before actually doing the installation of equipment
The BlueJeans Support team are very knowledgeable on how to assist users like myself. They go in-depth to source the problem and help correct the issue as quickly as possible.
No Premium Support is needed.
There are many examples but a recent one was when we needed to locate recorded sessions from 2 years, BlueJeans was able to help us retrieve those recordings for our staff.
BlueJeans is easy to use
  • sharing documents
  • Moderator- Being able to control everyone during a meeting (muting/unmuting, camera on/off, etc.)
  • nothing difficult about BlueJeans

  • Multiple departments across the organization are using BlueJeans at high capacity; daily, long meetings.
  • The main issues we may face sometimes would be the voice cutting, especially if too many users on BJ events and sometimes high delay in presentation shared when across different regions.
  • Easy to use from Phone App
  • Easy to set meetings
  • When using the phone app, we cannot access contacts in MS Outlook, only the ones stored on the phone.
  • Higher bandwidth in BlueJeans events.
  • BlueJeans is very handy and easy to use when setting global town hall meetings for the organization, across multiple regions. It can include about 1000 participants.
  • However, BlueJeans needs to strengthen its productivity when it comes to sharing presentations and streaming videos during large scale events. On a few occasions, the delay was over 1.5 minutes.

All business functions: Executive Management, Business Support, Sales & Operations, IT, Marketing, Supply & Demand ... etc.
Unfortunately no one in-house, but we get remote assistance when needed. They are all very helpful and quick in their responses.
  • Town hall Meeting
  • Recurrent Team Meeting
  • Multiple Presenters
  • Client events
  • Video Streaming
BlueJeans is very hand & easy to use, setting a meeting is by clicking one button. The only downside is when there's a large group of people, sometimes the voice starts cutting and presentation streaming becomes much slower.

It's easy to call into meetings using the mobile App, however it's not as easy to get the contacts from different emails to create new meetings using mobile APP.
