Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BlueJeans is utilized across our entire firm of 20+ offices at all staff levels. It helps us solve the problem of staff working across 20+ offices, giving us the ability to truly meet face to face no matter where in the world our staff are located. It helps us foster a culture of open communication and eliminates a ton of travel - giving our staff more time to spend at home and saving costs.

Pros and Cons

All-In-One Video/Web/Audio Conference.
Feature Rich - Including Screen Sharing, Mouse Control, Moderator Controls, Recording.
Scalable.
User Firnedly

Video quality is generally very good, but occasionally degrades.
Content sharing used to be pretty poor quality but has improved greatly over the past year.

Return on Investment

Increased frequency and quality of communication amongst employees.
Less travel required for staff increasing moral and lowering time away from home.
We've utilized the BlueJeans recording features to increase our ability to do training-on-demand.

Alternatives Considered

Zoom and Skype for Business

BlueJeans is a much more enterprise friendly platform and easier to use/schedule than Skype. Skype user interface for guests is cumbersome and the join process is unintuitive -- BlueJeans has made it very simple.

Usability

BlueJeans has made a lot of improvements in the 'Joining a Meeting' workflow and have very much simplified it.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great solution for small ad-hoc meetings as well as giant townhall type events with hundreds of connections/participants.
