Overall Satisfaction with BlueJeans

BlueJeans is being used for a fortnightly video conference for our political organization's leaders meetings. It is just our state team of New South Wales, not the whole country. It serves the purpose of having face to face regular contact for leaders across a wide geographical area, keeping us on the same page with campaigns and developments within the party.

Pros

  • It allows up to 75 people in one video conference which seems higher than other packages for the price
  • It highlights who is talking by putting their video profile at the top
  • It gives options for display
  • The chat box is helpful

Cons

  • I would like to see the ability to save the chat notes - maybe a download to Word file button?
  • I would like to see all the users on one page more easily, even if only smaller video clips, with the ability to highlight certain people on the screen (i.e., favourites to keep in view)
  • I would like the chat window to stay visible, not have to choose between having it or other slide-out windows.
  • Biggest advantage is saving time and travel costs. Would save $4000 per fortnight in travel and accomm for these meetings if we didn't use BlueJeans
  • Regularly scheduled meetings takes no extra thought to work out future planning
  • Editing guest list not difficult. Software basics easy to learn
Better functionality than Skype. For higher number of users, better value and quality of connection.
Good software. Lost chat notes several times when meeting closed without saving them. Don't like flicking between chat or other windows. Sometimes can't see all users on screen.
Very useful for a large number of people needing regular scheduled meetings (especially for geographically diverse members)
