Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bluejeans is currently being used by most teams within the organization that I am a part of. Most teams use it for the screen sharing capabilities with both internal and client calls. The business problem it addresses is being able to hold meetings and demos when people are in different locations around the world.

Pros and Cons

It is simple to use
I am able to pick my own conference number
Screensharing is fairly intuitive

There have been times where I haven't been able to connect to BlueJeans on my computer.
I can't seem to find out how to change settings so there is a sound when someone has joined the meeting.
BlueJeans can be slow on my computer sometimes.

Return on Investment

Saved money on travel.
Made meetings more productive.
Reduced need to call internationally.

Alternatives Considered

Join.me, Skype for Business (formerly Lync) and Google Hangouts

BlueJeans was a little cheaper than the other options available. The cost was the primary reason for selecting BlueJeans. Join.me was the previous software that we used at the company and we had some issues with being very slow to load at times while having our meetings at the company.

Usability

Overall it is quite easy to use. The only reason that it was not rated higher is due to the few times that it is slow or a colleague or client is having difficulty joining the meeting. I am not sure if this was due to their computers or other factors.

Likelihood to Recommend

BlueJeans is good for most scenarios at my company when we have both internal and external meetings throughout the day. The only thing it can't really replace are in-person meetings, but that is not the intent of the software. BlueJeans is good for demos as well, since I can share my screen easily.
