Overall Satisfaction with BlueJeans
The whole organization uses BlueJeans, and we have it integrated with Outlook, so it's pretty easy to set up meetings with the link for the call, we use it as the primary tool to have meetings with teams all over the globe and the use is daily. As we have cross-functional teams located in different cities across the world, have ease of communication is pretty important, and BlueJeans helps with that a lot.
Pros
- Easily set up calls with access from inside and outside the company.
- Share the screen for presentation, making it possible to share only one app and hiding the others (for privacy) or selecting which screens you want to share (if using multiple screens).
- Meeting recording is also available and is a valuable function for important and long meetings, to review the minutes taken for future reports.
Cons
- Connection sometimes lags when having too many attendants - for example, over 15-20.
- If BlueJeans could offer any mic filter software that would be great, sometimes people that connect have terrible mics that can every noise that's around and makes the meeting a lousy experience. Of course, the equipment can be changed, but a function to have a better noise filter within the software would be excellent.
- Easier connection for people outside the company, which don't have the app installed. Sometimes it is confusing for suppliers that are not used to the app and have to connect.
- Brings teams closer. It's easy to set up meetings with people in different locations, and a video call is a good way for the team to integrate and work better together.
- Easy to chat, talk, and share video and screen, all of which help the productivity of the team.
- With the ease of sharing screens and presentations, the meeting is much more beneficial for all involved.
- Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
BlueJeans is much more resourceful and easy to use than Skype, that's for sure. A solution much better suited, especially in a work environment where time-saving is essential. As to Microsoft Teams, it's integrated with the Microsoft Office Suite that's standardly installed on our company computers, and we use for task tracking, but not much the meetings functions of it, I only know it exists but have hardly used.
