Join.me (discontinued) Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Great, super easy to use tool by anyone. Used it with various clients of all backgrounds. Works every time, and requires no training or really anything to use. Just does what most of us need. Online meetings. Probably has a lot features, but I just want to have a quick and easy way to meet with small clients and this is certainly that solution.

Likelihood to Recommend

From a use perspective yes, solid product. I have no complaints about the product itself. But, it isn't as well known as other products out there, and the cost isn't bad, but for small organizations with generally smaller meetings, pricing could be an issue. However, yes, the service is very reliable and works well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Before Zoom, Google Meets, Webex, and Skype, Join.me was the pioneer of online meetings. In the early days of online meetings, Join.me was the leading solution. The application has now grown over the years, adding other features such as whiteboarding, presentations, and hand-raising. It was a great tool and a cost-saving one for me and my colleagues when I could do a Join.me meeting for free. Now, for subscribers to receive better features, they must pay a low-cost plan.

Likelihood to Recommend

I and my colleagues saved money when I started doing Join.me meetings for free. My colleagues and I were surprised by how useful Join.me was when we could host a meeting for free. Those days are gone now, and, as a result, subscribers are required to pay a small fee to obtain better features.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Join.Me from time to time when working with partners and/or vendors who require easy access to see our desktop screens and make valid and authorized changes to our computer software and/or applications when something is not functioning correctly or ideally. It has been a mainstay of work with these type of IT support folks for a number of years.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use for basically all our web conferencing needs. Since the tool offers great features and meets our needs, we use it across the whole organization. We use this tool when we need to conduct virtual meetings especially during the the covid-19 times. It has been helpful as some employees can work from home and still contribute to our virtual meetings. Join.me is also a great tool when it comes to inhouse communications.

Likelihood to Recommend

Join.me is great when it comes to holding virtual meetings - web conferencing. This is because it offers great features such as quality audio and full HD video quality. In addition, many people can participate during a virtual meeting which is a plus.

One scenario where Join.me is not appropriate is when some participants are based in areas with poor internet coverage because the software lags and this can be annoying.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Join.me is a great tool for business use because it gives you the ability to have a unique URL that you can always just jump into. We would tell our clients to just go to join.me/NAMEHERE and they could easily join a screenshare.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a really great software, but it's more of a budget decision than anything. There are other screensharing apps like Google Meet that maybe aren't as nice with the unique URL, but it gets the job done for free. If a company has the budget for it, it's a really great marketing feature.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Every now and then my team gets into situations where it would benefit us in our new remote work status scenarios that we have the ability to screen share and control other users computers. Join.me solves for both those scenarios in one easy to use software package. With my IT background it's often easier and quicker for me to solve a lot of my teams PCs issues instead of waiting for IT to address. With it's remote control abilities I can do just that.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you're on a bit of a budget the pricing for Join.me definitely makes it an easy choice. We were able to download it and get it up and running for free on a few of my teammates PCs that needed assistance with some computer setup. It can be a little confusing to access some of the features at first but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy to use. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it for extremely large meetings, but it's excellent for smaller groups.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Join.me is being used by me with some of my clients. Join.me has a ton of products for both consumers and businesses, but I use it for business purposes. The GoToMeeting is what myself and clients use most often. But they have several products so that you can literally keep doing business from anywhere in the world, and as we all know this has saves businesses over the last year plus! This program definitely had part in my success instead of failure this past year or so.

Likelihood to Recommend

I can only comment on my own experiences and have only used one small part of what Join.me has to offer, so far anyway. But without GoToMeeting some of my clients would have lost out on substantial business opportunities we provided for him as far as appointments with reminders and invites and web meetings/conferences. It also enabled me to continue to provide what I needed to for my clients.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily used it for screenshares with clients to go over various things in their account.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works great if you want your screenshares or video conference calls to be company specific and look proffesional. You can put your logo in the background and it makes it look like a specialized experience for clients which is great. It is cheaper to use the same types of features as Zoom or Microsoft Teams.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Join.me has been used for our webconferencing tool - helping to connect remote teams as well as internal teams with current and potential customers.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think in general, Join.me has not been able to compete with the features of Zoom or the ease of Google Hangouts. It certainly works fine for web conferencing, but has not been able to keep up with the benefits of other solutions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used [Join.me] company wide because to whole meetings with our users that are remote due to the covid. It is easy to access and send out invites. Using the computer to schedule and talk to one face to face is great and you can work around everyone schedule. Users do not have to worry about coming in the office for a short meeting or a longer meeting. You can also easily have multiple meetings per day.

Likelihood to Recommend

Join.me works well for remote users because of COVID unfortunately. During bad weather you can sit in the comfort of your own home and meet without worry. You don't have to worry about missing meetings. You can set alerts appropriately to not miss a meeting. You can easily add people or remove.
