(101-125 of 190)BlueJeans Review
- Works particularly well from a stability perspective
- Integration with Outlook meetings
- Nil from my requirements
- Easily set up calls with access from inside and outside the company.
- Share the screen for presentation, making it possible to share only one app and hiding the others (for privacy) or selecting which screens you want to share (if using multiple screens).
- Meeting recording is also available and is a valuable function for important and long meetings, to review the minutes taken for future reports.
- Connection sometimes lags when having too many attendants - for example, over 15-20.
- If BlueJeans could offer any mic filter software that would be great, sometimes people that connect have terrible mics that can every noise that's around and makes the meeting a lousy experience. Of course, the equipment can be changed, but a function to have a better noise filter within the software would be excellent.
- Easier connection for people outside the company, which don't have the app installed. Sometimes it is confusing for suppliers that are not used to the app and have to connect.
BlueJeans as a platform for interviews
- Seamless integration with Google Calendar.
- Recording function and the fact that there's verbal feedback when the recording has started.
- Friendly user interface.
- Constantly experiencing audio issues, having to move to different tools to keep the meetings going on.
Great video conferencing tool!!
- Integration with Chrome browser
- Integration with GSuite
- Set up a meeting ID with a single click
- Simplicity
- BlueJeans uses a lot of battery when it's on, so it would be nice to have a slightly lighter version
- Audio quality is great
- The ability to better control the audience
- The ability to use Rooms meetings systems
- Stability
- The need to authenticate to the web bothers me
The app for my cell phone is really good, I can have calls, see screen shares and control the audience.
There's no need to type codes and telephone numbers with the app, which is also a plus.
Sometimes stability is not the best.
Simple and frictionless
- Fast start-up time.
- Lightweight on resources.
- Intuitive UI.
- I would love to see more features around remote screen control/drawing while sharing a screen.
- When viewing a screen share full-screen, the video pops up in a separate window and there's no way to close it, even if I don't want to see it.
- It could be easier to re-join frequently-attended meetings, instead of needing to find the link each time.
BlueJeans is great.
- Recording meetings
- Screen sharing
- Sharing recordings with other users using the could
- Easy to use interface. It is very intuitive and much better than the competition I've seen (Century Link and Adobe Connect are much more difficult to learn)
- I don't want to download the plugin. It's much easier to use the browser version and takes less time to load the meeting. Consider making that option the default and not having a separate plugin that loads a new BlueJeans application. I find that unnecessary
- When in screen share, I would like a pointer/highlighter function. I currently rely on my mouse pointer but that can't highlight or draw text as far as I can tell
Office Manager BlueJeans Review
- Ease of use
- Reliability
- Easy to swap users/presenters
- Recording facility often stops working mid-way through.
- Sometimes it just doesn't load up.
- It doesn't like working on some types of screens, I.E. plasma screens sometimes have issues.
Useful & practical, but not always easy to use.
- Flexibility to accept connections from different tools (PC, mobile, etc.)
- Rather intuitive and user friendly application
- Integration with Outlook calendar
- Sometimes it's difficult to use when there are more than 2 participants and all are using different ways of connection/sharing the screen
A wonderful collaboration tool
- Screenshare with easy control.
- Teleconference with single link.
- Kicking out unwanted teammates.
- Screen share controls are limited, admin should decide who can share.
- The BJN Plugin is blocked for some clients due to firewall issues.
- Chat should have an attachment option too.
Great tool to provide a “access for all”platform
- Notes between participants
- Video conferencing
- Audio conferencing
- Sharing documents
- Uploading documents for review
- Webinar feature
- Uploading software to print out responses from participants.
- Adding graphs and charts that identify time and participation by participants.
- Best practices from users.

BlueJeans is Excellent!
- BlueJeans is used across the company.
- Especially by me and my Global team and by all the contractors that work with us to build new projects. We built the project in at least 15 countries: North & Central (USA and Mexico) America, South America (Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Peru) Europe (Italy, Spain, Greek), Africa(Morocco, Zambia, SouthAfrica), Australia and India, Australia).
- Each Project Team uses BJ, mainly locally but even globally because a lot of team members are located in different countries. The main issue is: when you are doing a call with persons from the company's offices, the quality of the connection is not good (or voice or video) and we are obliged to use to separate connection at the same time (one using the telephone and another one using a computer). If we use the connection staying at home the call quality of the call is good. Even the quality of the connection of the contractors is good. This issue started, 6 months ago. My ICT colleagues are still finding the solution.
- It uses a low band system that allows connecting people from the site who don't have good bandwidth (construction site, train, etc).
- It's easy to use. When you have a lot of new contractors each year is an important point.
- The director can mute people.
- It is included in the description of my open issue.
- When we have to do a call with a contractor (external person).
- When we have to do a call with colleagues for the open issue already described. This issue didn't exist 6 months ago.
Nice tool for meetings
- Easy meeting organiser
- Intelligent voice recognizer. Switched immediately to the video of the person talking
- Customisable UI
- Some calls drop
- Initial setup hiccups when people join and are unable to hear each other
- Sceen-sharing, Powerpoint.
- Multi-user, multi-screen conferencing.
- Allowing external users to connect to internal conferencing.
- Looking forward to updates to fix occasional audio degradation.
BlueJeans makes supporting IT quick and easy.
- Screen Share: collaborate with people across different regions with ease.
- The mobile app is phenomenal, help is assisted while I am in transit.
- Admin has the ability to moderate the call with ease. Help mute disruptive folks on the call.
- Screen Scaling: this is one area that the app can improve. My only gripe is it doesn't do a very good job between various screen sizes. If someone shares a 32in screen and someone is seeing the same on a 24in monitor at the same time the streaming gets blotchy.
- Collaboration with people (calls across multiple regions).
- Planning an exercise (review of plans/PPT and timeline on a shared screen).
- Technical troubleshooting and remediations (helpdesk/support).
Great product Easy to use
[It's being used] To have teleconferences across our offices.
Variety of teams use it - more use in RMS than transport
Many teams are geographically remote and it works well
- Easy to set up
- The click and join is fabulous - long passcodes are a pain
- Works on all devices
- Loses bandwidth - I usually shut down the video
- The question/chat feature - I think it is there but use it more on Skype
- Can't think of anywhere that it doesn't work
- Works well at critical incidents i.e. we set up a quick teleconference
- Works well on a planned meetings
- Efficient connectivity & video results are sharp
- They definitely did good traffic engineering to prioritize the audio/video traffic
- Interface is user friendly
- Cannot upload files in the chat window
- Remote controls are not very practical
- Not widely used in the world, lesser known
BlueJeans makes meetings productive and saves time.
- Conference calls.
- Screen sharing works really well.
- App also works really well on the phone too.
- The app needs to give an option of low data usage. I know it does but sometimes WhatsApp calls work better than BJ.
- I believe there is some technical issue. The app doesn't work sometimes work well on different WiFi networks.
BlueJeans has the genes of modern communication
- Connectivity.
- Clarity of Video and Audio.
- Easy of recording sessions and revisiting them.
- Scheduling meetings from the portal.
- Improve compatibility with slower internet connections.
It can be an issue when there are more than 10+ people on the conference call - when they join in and drop off.
Integration with Office 365 will be good.
Great for Small Meetings
- The ability to show your screen to an audience is perfect and you don't have to be strong in IT to understand how to use this.
- Its simplicity.
- Easy to use with external customers and downloading the app is simple.
- BlueJeans video is only as good as the camera on the PC and we mostly use PC cameras for meetings.
- You can often hear people tapping their keys on a laptop during meetings.
- Great in hotels or even in the car by telephone - very portable
- Only takes a few seconds to set up a meeting especially if the others attending meetings have the app
BlueJeans makes many things easier!
- The interface is very straightforward in BlueJeans, easy to dial in, instruction is clear.
- I use BlueJeans for customer interviews a lot, customers that doesn't have BlueJeans installed can also dial in via their mobile phone, it's really convenient. Barrier of entry is lower for customers that are not so tech-savvy.
- You can also record the meetings or the interviews on BlueJeans, which make it very easy to share within the organization afterwards.
- Sometimes the connection is really bad, I can hardly hear the voice from the team member on the other end. But I'm not sure whether this is the issue from BlueJeans or the internet connectivity itself.
- Sometimes when customers dial in from another place, they don't know how to share the screen with us. As I'm not sure what version of BlueJeans they are looking at, and it became quite complicated for me to instruct the customer in terms of where to click on in order to share their screen with me. Maybe some user manual type of thing would help?
- When connecting BlueJeans to a big screen in the meeting room, sometimes we can share the screen easily, but sometime it just doesn't show anything at all.
BlueJeans is amazingly easy to support from an IT perspective.
- Allows access from any device
- Gives users the option to record meetings
- Chrome plugin is available
- Occasionally see audio quality issues from users in other countries.
- Screen sharing causes high CPU usage with some users
- Some users can't connect when clicking the meeting link. This could be a permissions issue though.
BlueJeans gets the job done no matter where you are
- The ability to set global preferences on your account for things like "mute on entry" or "Don't show video" were a huge plus.
- Plug-in integration with Outlook and Slack was very well built
- Setting up reoccurring meetings within the app was a breeze
- From my perspective as a desktop engineer who packaged and deployed this app, it was fairly obvious that the PC devs knew what they were doing and the Mac app was a bit of an afterthought. It took me a good 2-3 months of escalating a ticket to finally get the dev team to properly package their app for mass deployment on the Mac side. Previous to my ongoing push, the app would only successfully install if a user were logged in versus being installed while the user were logged out like many other apps can be done via an MDM system.
- Audio and video quality were always an ongoing issue with BlueJeans. If more than 10 people were on a call, audio would cut in and out constantly. Video quality even in 1:1 calls was blurry/grainy.
- BlueJeans claimed to suppress auto-updates from their mass deployment webpage but I still found the package to always auto update anyways which wasn't necessarily a bad thing except for when a new version came out and I wasn't prepared for it, I would quickly have to adjust my deployment scope to exclude installing the now older version of BlueJeans over the newer version.
BlueJeans, a valuable tool!
