Join.me is great for ad-hoc screen sharing!
- It is easy to access and use with just a couple of clicks.
- No large plugin installation needed like some other utilities (such as GoToMeeting). Quick download and launch.
- Typically, the UI is very responsive with screen sharing.
- It's random sometimes when it will require you to login. This is troublesome for our remote customers as it's another step they may have to take.
- CPU utilization can get quite high. This happens both on my MacBook Pro and also on Windows VMs.
- Recently the application has either hung or not installed/launched properly in Windows.
- Depending on the technical savvy of the remote user, they sometimes want to go to join.me.com or are simply confused when directed to "Go to join dot me in your web browser."

- Starting a meeting is really simple - launch the application and give the participants the code/url.
- Quick download / launch generally.

- As mentioned, some end-users have trouble knowing that it's "join dot me" instead wanting to add a .com to it.

- Very fast to start a session, no need to schedule an event, send out calendar invitations, have the end user downloading an application.
- Compatibly with browsers has been outstanding, we do not have to implement workarounds for this product.
- Our most technologically challenged clients have no issues launching a join.me session.
