Reviews
(51-75 of 190)The most helpful thing is that you can even take calls from your cellphone with a quick dial, no need to be on a computer or in front of a screen.
- The screen sharing feature, great for tutorials or webinars with all foreign teams.
- Also, chat has been helpful, and certainly, the Google Calendar and SalesForce integration that allows to have every single thing tracked is great!
- Love that there is no limit for people logged into and also that it's easy to use from TV or almost every device.
- Sometimes the connection is unstable when dialing via phone number.
- It's not clear for me or my colleagues who are the admin and how to start a meeting as the admin. What's the difference between each roll?
- I think most clients don't realize its always the same ID for my meetings, not sure how we could make that more clear.
BlueJeans: Beyond and above.
- User-friendly
- The unique personal meeting ID
- Reliable
- Possibility of screen share
- Popups advising for the meetings.
Happy customer, but Microsoft Teams is pushing hard.
- Ease of online meetings
- Anywhere
- Hardware agnostic
- Integration with Teams
- Memorable name.
- Sends out calendar invites automatically.
- Remembers previously used email addresses.
- Unstable. If I as host lose connection, everyone gets dropped.
- Poor information included. No confirming of date/time in outreach emails, time zone info not included.
- Support is poor. They mean well, but don't know very much. I've pointed stuff out to them.
BlueJeans Review
- Easily add it into a meeting invite
- Ability to record session
- Quality of meeting is good
- Most companies do not utilize and think they need to download an application
- Sometimes companies are not able to launch application because it's blocked from a security standpoint.
- Sometimes BlueJeans just doesn't launch or work properly.
It's harder to use for outside meetings and events because external companies have a difficult time launching the application, don't want to download program, or security settings are blocking them from doing so.
Easy to use, stable, beautiful: why BlueJeans is a great option to bring teams closer and encourage collaboration.
- Ease of connecting - conferencing equipment on rooms display scheduled meetings, and they can be joined with a single tap.
- Screen sharing through URL - when in a room, you can generate a URL so that guests can share their screens without the need to set up a conference.
- Phone app offers an online and offline connections - you can use your data or voice plan to join a meeting.
- Landline numbers are wrong or unresponsive sometimes.
- When a temporary conference number is created for a specific meeting, and it's rescheduled, sometimes it expires and impacts the start of the meetings.
- Easy to schedule meetings.
- Easy to invite participants.
- Great phone app.
BlueJeans is a great solution!
- Quickly downloadable
- Easy to use
- Simple
- Connection sometimes fails
- Recording sometimes malfunctions
Teaching Through COVID-19 Pandemic Using BlueJeans
- Connection is Easy: I have used other similar platforms where connecting to a meeting was not always intuitive, making it a frustrating process.
- Recording: I like that I can set a meeting to auto-record because I often will forget that the meeting is to be recorded. I also appreciate that BlueJeans sends a link to the recording almost immediately after the web meeting is over.
- Share Screen: I often need to share my screen during a meeting, and I like that this feature is easy to use and thus far has been reliable.
- Gallery View: I would like to be able to control the number of people shown in the gallery view. I realized this just yesterday. I am telecommuting because of COVID-19, and my weekly staff meeting was held in BlueJeans. There are only 12 of us, but because of this setting, I could only see 9 of us at a time.
- Chat: I am not aware of a way to save chat dialog. While running a meeting, I don't always have the opportunity to read the comments; therefore, having the chat saved would be beneficial.
- Breakout Rooms: I believe the breakout rooms are recorded, but I'm not sure if the content within the rooms is also saved. Having this feature would be helpful.
- Background: An option to create a faux background.
- BlueJeans works great for meetings. I like the various settings that I can control (start meeting without me; set participants to mute upon entry; auto record, etc.). What I don't like here is the inability to show more than 9 people onscreen in the Gallery View.
- BlueJeans does not seem to be as appropriate for synchronous and asynchronous teaching. I believe the features that are available (annotate, whiteboard, etc.) can be enhanced by allowing the participants to control one or the other. For example, if I wanted to "send a student to the board" to work a problem, I don't believe the current version of BlueJeans allows me to do that. I have generally used Blackboard Collaborate for teaching purposes because I believe they have a well-developed platform that works for instructors delivering content remotely.
BlueJeans is the best investment during this crisis
- The audio management compared with other platforms is great.
- It is easy to connect and share meetings.
- It integrates well with other platforms and the general user experience is good.
- It happens with all these apps. They try to install their app, but when we interact with external clients, this process is a bit annoying depending on the user on the other end.
- It could be more integrated into our systems. It finally requires additional effort to set every meeting compared with other tools
- It is not always clear how screen sharing works, but after some time you get used to it.
Great experience
- Meeting set up
- Conference call
- Screen sharing
- The experience is just fine
Handle All Meetings in One Place
- BlueJeans allows multiple meetings to be scheduled for the same date and time. As an administrative assistant, this allows me to create meetings for multiple people who can then run multiple separate meetings at the same date and time using BlueJeans as the conference resource.
- BlueJeans has several methods for inviting meeting attendees: email invitation during or after meeting creation, clickable link to share with attendees or meeting ID to share with established BlueJeans attendees. This allows me to choose the best method for reaching those I support and providing quick access in times of need.
- Occasionally during audio difficulty the cause has been linked to BlueJeans by colleagues.
Bluejeans works. But it is not that different.
- BlueJeans is a tool available to users across the organization, but there are other apps that same similar job: Teams, Skype for Business, etc
- It depends on teams routine which uses it more or less
- It integrates well with my outlook 365 so it is easy to set calls.
- I had no connectivity problems, and nobody had a problem connecting to one of my calls.
- It is easy to use
- Maybe there is another way to do it but to share my contact information and Dial-In, I have to go to the website. I'd love to do it on my desktop app.
- It could be more integrated into our ecosystem. It finally feels like any other app that does the job, but I have to make an effort to incorporate it into every meeting.
- Maybe the screen sharing UX could be more clear, but once I got use to it, it was fine.
- BlueJeans is excellent for calls that include people from other organizations. It makes it easy to connect and collaborate.
- If I have to call my team, I usually use Teams (Microsoft), it is much more convenient.
Great collaborative system!!
- Allows face to face connections
- Easy to use
- Records calls if you’d like
- Web versus app
- Not enough bandwidth
Video meetings with no hassle
- It enables face to face discussions, which are important for reading body language.
- There is no complicated setup so anyone can use it.
- It's immediate, and you can start a meeting immediately.
- I'd like to be able to arrange the small pictures of other participants around the screen.
Occasionally, some customer's IT departments won't allow Bluejeans.
Fix your software!
- Mobile App is pretty easy to use, and I like the low bandwidth feature when I'm driving.
- Plain dial-in phone conference is easy/simple to use.
- Nice company colors
- The customer experience for OUR customers is terrible; customers constantly wind up joining late because they get prompted to download the app and can't figure out the setup.
- It's annoying to be prompted to give a 1-5 star rating EVERY single time I end a meeting.
Solid video conferencing solution for the Enterprise
- Stable video conferencing solution
- Multi-platform (including room solutions) support
- Easy to set up custom rooms for meetings
- CPU load seems excessive on laptops (noticeable resource hogging)
- Accessing video recordings of meetings a little clunky
BlueJeans saved our lives
- Conference calls with more than one party at more than one different location
- Quality of calls and videos is unparalleled
- Very user friendly
- Does not require the receiving party to have an account with BlueJeans
- Calls can be done with literally anyone who has internet connection.
- Support Arabic language
- Screen-sharing feature could be optimized (sometimes it's slow)
BlueJeans might be less appropriate for upper management and very important board meetings where there are more than 10 people attending and participating in the discussions.
BlueJeans Review
- Content sharing.
- Phone connectivity.
- Video.
- Audio is sometimes quirky.
- Occasional problems with recording.
BlueJeans is a great valuable product for our group.
- Excellent Video quality - Makes VC’s realistic as if you are in the same room
- Excellent audio quality
- Adapts well to different audio and video options, whether I am using a headset, speaker, Bluetooth speakers, etc. it gives you options to connect.
- Use on multiple devices such as iPhone iPad laptop.
- I can’t think of anything except that it would be good to add a link in the calendar from the iPad, but I think that is an iPad thing.
It just works!
- Chatting is very clear.
- Share screen is very quick and good (with the exception of the share screen header on top that keeps blocking the browser tabs).
- Easy to connect to various USB peripherals such as external speakers/webcams.
- Share screen top bar constantly gets in the way. Can't switch between browser tabs without moving the browser. Would be nice if the share screen top bar can auto-hide (or let the user pick where the share screen bar is).
Fairly good
- Recording calls
- Video quality
- Screen-sharing while video calling without interrupting the video
- It has problems with low connectivity situations.
- Sometimes even with good connectivity it shows an alert of poor connection.
- It has BIG issues with other apps that may be muting the computer, or if more than one voice calling app is open. It doesn't handle the microphone status very well, and you have to unmute your computer before starting a call, otherwise, it will remain muted for the whole duration of the meeting.
- When it works, it is simple to initiate a meeting and invite participants.
- There is ease and flexibility in changing presenters within a demonstration.
- Adding a BlueJeans meeting to an Outlook calendar invitation is a simple push of a button.
- Unreliable - The system arbitrarily canceled a meeting just minutes before it was scheduled to start, and I was scrambling in a roomful of prospective clients to initiate a new one.
- Unpredictable - Sometimes, it requires my password, which is randomly generated and not memorizable, requiring me to look it up and enter it. Sometimes it lets me breeze right into the meeting room- even though in both cases, I was the organizer of the meeting.
- Sound quality is not always the best, but I suspect that may be a result of connectivity for some participants in remote locations and not the fault of BlueJeans.
BlueJeans is my "go-to" meeting tool, time after time
- BlueJean's connection control is fantastic. It keeps you in the loop if there are poor connections, who is available, who is speaking, etc.
- It's easy for anyone to join a meeting regardless of their tech setups. They have a great app that can be downloaded, or you can share a URL that easily allows anyone to join. Many of the other tools in this space have issues with the initial setup
- The BlueJeans interface is well thought out. It continually provides relevant tips for the tasks you are trying to accomplish. If you are speaking but on mute, it will ask if you are trying to talk to the group. Whether you are using the volume on a headset or your computer or dialing in on a phone line, it does a great job of letting you know the option you chose and the ways to change to another option if you want
- I would like the option that when you are one of few sharing your video that your video wouldn't take up the entire screen for everyone else, just a small screen would be great.
- The chat window can get overlooked at times. A more prominent notification when someone messages would be helpful.
- When you close the meeting, you lose links, chat messages. Not sure how but having a way to get back to those (without needed to record the session) would be a nice feature.
GreatJeans with BlueJeans!
- Camera and voice quality is fantastic.
- Ease of access and ability to copy link to meeting.
- Ability to record is a great feature.
- Meeting Room dial in capability i.e. non-user specific dial in required.
- Sometimes can be buggy (especially around update time) where it logs in and out.
- Experienced some challenges with integration with my Outlook calendar.
