(26-50 of 190)Blue Jeans Review from my perspective
- It offers me tremendous opportunities with low prices, robust features, and a friendly interface.
- It allows me to handle my remote meetings efficiently and collaborate in real-time.
- Building and engaging virtual connections, contacting my clients, and working with colleagues everywhere in the world.
- When scheduling my meetings, the process feels a bit complex, and it could be easier to save time and schedule with just a click.
- No file sharing capabilities.
- Lacks common webinar features.
BlueJeans: Well-designed and thoughtful, but so is everything else
- Attractive interface.
- Large group management.
- Scalable.
- Administration in calls.
- Resizing the desktop window.
- Live closed captioning.
- Personal calls.
- Polls.
- Web-based feature parity.
Great Virtual Meeting Platform
- I love the UI of BlueJeans. It is very user-intuitive and modern.
- It is full of features. I especially love the video recording feature in which we receive an email with the video recording after the session ends.
- It integrates seamlessly with Gmail and I can set BlueJeans meeting with one click only.
- It does not show the list of users who have already joined. This is an important feature I feel.
- Sharing the link with other is not very straightforward
- It can have more features like live translation for users who don't understand the language
- It is really useful for the IT team to support employees with their problems by allowing them to get into a call, discuss & troubleshoot the issue and then [share] screens to easily understand and then resolve a problem.
- When a large audience is having a call, for example, HR rolling out a new policy to a huge number of employees, the Q&A section gives the opportunity to everyone to ask their questions and get answers in a well-organized way.
- Another useful feature is that you can record your sessions, for example, if you are conducting training of employees or users on a new application or process, the session can be recorded and later used by people who could not attend or as a refresher.
- Bluejeans could definitely improve the latency and smoothness of call, especially when a number of people are joining it, however, I am sure this is a continuous improvement process and they are already working on it. This experience is the most important aspect of such platforms.
- Integration of bluejeans into our work accounts or applications could be improved to have a more convenient UX for example if you have an MS 365 work account and Bluejeans for meetings.
- Another interesting functionality that could be added is a guiding tutorial on how to use the blue jeans interface when someone starts using it on any device for the first time, [especially] for guest users on the web version.
BlueJeans knocks the pants off the competition!
- Collaboration.
- Content sharing.
- Group facilitation.
- Hosting large leetings.
- Recording and sharing events.
- Virtual face to face interaction.
- New user connectivity can be challenging.
- First-time screen sharing on Mac requires quit/restart.
- Joining from the mobile app and jumping between the call and the app can sometimes be challenging.
Smooth Sailing
- It is very easy to set up and initiate meetings.
- It is feature rich and handles all meeting functions well.
- There are never delays or outages during meetings.
- I like it the way it is.
Solid alternative to our choice platform
- Clean interface.
- Security.
- Recording function.
- Backgrounds.
- Capacity.
Professional service that delivers quality time and time again
- Sales meeting getting changed across to all staff - this is invaluable.
- Team building g creating cohesion having a laugh.
- It helps staff in lockdown have some time out and helps their mental well being.
- Poor internet is at times problematic but this is outside your control.
- Have the meetings clearly displaying the different time zones.
- Have a list of staff accepting (or that option for small groups).
BlueJeans Meetings is good
- Show online people.
- The ability for making mute and turning on/off camera.
- The ability of raise hand.
- Chat panel.
- Change background.
- The ability to connect via phone number and internet.
- BJ does not provide the ability to control someone's screen (screen control).
Not bad...
- BlueJeans has good hardware that connects well with computers.
- The camera has good focus and quality.
- Screen sharing capabilities are good.
- It is no longer popularly used within the teams.
- The branding behind it isn't great.
BlueJeans overall is a good tool
- Allow collaboration over virtual meetings.
- Consistency with bandwidth.
- Ease of use.
- Larger room capacities.
- Better backgrounds for professional use.
- More apparent indicators for certain usages of the application.
Simple and easy to use!
- Remote training.
- Collaboration.
- Easy interface.
- Frequent disconnects.
- Not always intuitive.
- Back screen with no options to click on anything.
Because audio quality matters
- High audio quality (w/ Dolby tech on).
- Efficient background noise cancellation (w/ Dolby tech on).
- Integration of the MS Office calendar.
- The app sometimes got issues with handling various configs of I/O devices. Usually, it leads to an echo like when other participant's mic captures your voice. Although, it may be due to some random conflicts with OS (I'm using Windows and with desktop app).
- Monochromatic chat box - why not use regular colours like in MS Teams / Slack?
Verizon and BlueJeans
- Audio is always excellent.
- Time lag does not happen.
- Verizon merged with BlueJeans [which] is a big marketing chance delivering confidence.
- Our customers like this application in U.S.
- Menu is not diversified comparing with Zoom.
- Scheduling is not convenient. Scheduling is not noticeable which is the most important function.
- Sometimes this does not work with Japanese colleagues and U.S. customers.
- [I wish] scheduled events popped up automatically on the PC screen.
"The issue of Bluejean" is less well-known among potential customers. More importantly, customers are confused with Verizon and Bluejean. Customers confusion is always a huge hick-up from sales and marketing perspectives. Now, if customers are not confused, Bluejean needs to beat Zoom's positioning as a #1 brand for video con call. COVID is the chance to beat Zoom. After COVID, the positioning of Zoom will be solid which is similar to Hertz and Avis.. The position does not change at all.
the platform that allways works!
Important decisions are taken considering that we are implementing a new ERP system.
During this lockdown period BlueJeans [Meetings] became fundamental for the sales and internal project.
We are implementing a new ERP completely without people presence. We have several meeting every day with more then 10 people to each meeting.
This without connection problem. In addition this system works perfectly with several platform.
- Easy to use
- Stable
- Improve the quality for low bandwith connection
- Sharing file could be a good improvement
In our organization there are no less appropriate scenario.
The decisions are more fast then before.
Blue Jeans Experience
- Moderator Codes
- Detailed Analytics
- Customer Service
- Video Quality
- Prioritization of compression streams (audio >> video >> content)
- Needs to hold up better in low bandwidth environments
- Pricing is expensive
- It's good for basic video conferencing.
- Does not work so well with Cisco video codecs.
The King of Cloud Video Conferencing
- Simplicity: It is easy to join meetings whether you have used it before or not.
- Sharing content: Allows you to easily share your screen, or parts of your screen to collaborate with others during a call.
- The ability to invite people from both within and outside of the organization, along with dialing in videoconferencing, room systems is a real bonus.
- Quizzes/Polls App: It would be great if they could introduce something like a quiz app within the interface for things like training classes, where instructors could prepare questions to launch for participants to answer. I think Zoom does this with their "polls," but haven't come across this functionality in BlueJeans yet.
- Not much else I can think of that I would like to see different at the moment.
Latest update with BlueJeans is definitely drawing us now!
- As compared to other tools it allows us to see more than 5 video screens of team members even when presentations are being shared.
- There is a slider for us to choose so as to not not compromise the size of presentation or audience.
- The latest improvement of seeing more than 9 video screens is simply amazing!
- It sometimes has audio connection issues.
- The customer service team is also very tardy at responding.
- The pop-up screen of videos cannot be hidden easily during presentation.
- It does seem very sensitive to bandwidth support hence it is important for everyone to have good bandwidths to use BlueJeans.
Video Conferencing the way it should be.
- Accessibility, app and in browser access is key to the success of our roll out.
- Secure, encryption and strong moderator tools enable a secure meeting platform.
- Quality, excellent audio and video quality.
- Ease of use, from moderator to meeting attendee the system is very intuitive and easy to use.
- Reporting could be improved, although there is a good reporting suite, it would be beneficial to have more flexibility with some of the reporting. For example running activity reports across a set of accounts over a user defined period.
- We have had some issues with meetings overlapping and where the room is locked. It would be good to have a waiting area for those attempting to get into meetings or functionality to let you know someone is waiting.
- We have had some issues of users not logging in as a moderator by mistake and it would be helpful to have a way for a user to switch to a moderator without having to leave the room.
No device dependencies
- Quality.
- User friendly.
- Great support.
- Visibility via command center.
- Bandwidth utilization is high when compared to other tools such as MS Teams, Zoom. This is the main challenge we face.
- Reporting and administration is bit difficult. As an example, as company admin, I cannot delete user IDs which are not up to the standard. This wastes time.
- BlueJeans is bit late to implement some features which are already with other products. As examples, raise hand feature, custom background, etc.
Not suitable for small VCons where only laptops or mobiles, tabs are being used. There are so many cheap solutions for low end VCs.
Powerful, reliable, user-friendly - VC as it should be
- The number of users visible simultaneously.
- Integrating collaboration tools (screen sharing, chat, etc.).
- Easy to use scheduling via calendar integration.
- Video quality.
- Reliable performance/connectivity speed.
- Interoperability with other VC systems.
The mobile device apps are great especially for dialing in while traveling or from really just anywhere.
It can be used vis-à-vis clients/customers, the branding option comes in handy for that.
It can be used internally and on-the-spot ("let's dial in, here's my code") without the need to schedule.
BlueJeans Review
- Video
- Recording
- Scheduling meetings.
- Easy to access and share.
- Share recordings to people without enterprise accounts.
- Reminder to record the meeting when the presentation begins.
- Integration with Google Calendars
- The quality of the calls.
- Information about who is in the call and how.
- Plan concurrent meetings with the same ID.
- PIN for moderators. I think it is important to have them but I have been in many calls where we could not go ahead because the moderator is not there. It is a bit frustrating, it should be easier to have meetings without PINs or allow others to own the meeting as well. Most of our meetings should not need a moderator PIN.
- Whiteboard: It is not very easy to use, I have worked with other whiteboards that are more intuitive.
- Very easy to manage video conference calls meetings and a very good interface to have all the information we need.
- Very good quality for screen sharing in a bit more interactive session.
Less appropriate:
- I think it needs some work and user experience thinking for more collaborative sessions, like using the whiteboard or even other options that other products on the market have.
BlueJeans is addictive for remote conferencing
- Recording the meetings
- Working in low network coverage
- Single click to login
- Save previous frequent meeting IDs instead of searching the link.
- Pop up the application automatically on the meeting time.
Welcome to BlueJeans
- Very easy to start up and navigate throughout the meetings.
- Screen sharing is a strong point.
- Very user friendly, trusted and I love the collaboration effectiveness
- Its also very colorful and I love the startup, 'Welcome to BlueJeans'
- More interactive training sessions to attract more users.
- Allowing the participants of a meeting more control.
- The ability to have large scale meetings (200+ participants)
- More interactive training for new users
- BlueJeans is well-suited for not only the well in-advanced scheduled meetings but also for the quickly needed meetings that can save a lot of time, travel, and money. I love the start-up feature when I have the meetings connected to my video system.
- The only scenario where it can be less appropriate is when the client is unable to use BlueJeans as a means of videoconferencing.
- With today's endemic going on BlueJeans is needed for companies that continue to do business remotely.
- Also can be used for social distancing as a tool to connect with relatives and friends.
