Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BlueJeans to meet with customers and other partners so that distance is not a consistent roadblock. We also utilize BlueJeans to broadcast our weekly information meetings, this allows us to show a speaker as well as a PowerPoint or a presentation agenda at the same time.

Pros and Cons

Their customer service is phenomenal
They are continuously improving
The simplicity of functionality across their platform

Which equipment they allow you to use as a video source ( outside of standard webcams)
Having more control as the administrator/ host
Consistent connection

Return on Investment

Less business travel
Incorporated quick implementation
Allowed us to recruit talent quicker

Alternatives Considered

Zoom

Zoom was not the same quality and didn't have the simplicity that BlueJeans has as a user. It would let me have options of changing cameras and we could not figure out as a company how we could properly use Zoom for bigger meetings of 50 plus people attending.

Usability

I would give this rating because of the great feedback that I get from customers and partners that use blue jeans on a weekly biases. The reason I give it an eight was because there are a few things i believe can still be improved. for example the ability to mute people and them not be able to over ride it.

Likelihood to Recommend

At the company I am partnered with we hold weekly training sessions which we have presentations and speakers come in to share. BlueJeans has allowed us to utilize their platform so people that are a part of our team out of the state or at a distance can plug in and be a true part of the team.

Wonderful experiences
