Overall Satisfaction with BlueJeans Events (formerly Primetime)
I've been using BlueJeans for 2 years, and I can say that it is very useful both for individual meetings and team meetings. We use it in all teams of all countries where the company is based, so it helps us a lot to save time and resources. Also, with BlueJeans, we have the ability to connect with our suppliers around the world, making it easy to securely solve our problems.
- The best of BlueJeans is the confidence that I have when use it.
- In general, it has great stability, and the integration with Outlook makes meeting scheduling go smoothly.
- The video and sound work very well, also the UI is very easy to understand.
- We have had some issues/bugs sometimes with the Outlook plugin, but in general it is very good.
- One improvement would be for the participants to be able to draw or write over the presentation when screen is shared (like a shared board). It would be helpful in work meetings, mainly when engineers are working on product development.
- Another idea for improvement is to develop a feature that allows us to take meeting minutes, and at the end of the meeting the software could send it to all participants. This feature would help to improve the workflow and the backup and traceability of the decisions.
- Finally, the feature of scheduling meetings should be improved: it doesn't have reversible interaction with Outlook, so when you try to schedule a meeting in the native software, it does not take the emails directly from the Outlook database. It is a shame because the resource is very good, but when you want to schedule from the app in your phone, you need to "remember" the emails or take them from another place.
- We are having better relationships with our colleagues around the world.
- Now we don't need a physical meeting room to make a meeting. We have few meeting rooms and they are seldom available, so BlueJeans solves in a good way this need with virtual rooms.
- We save time because now global teams are closer, and we can avoid some travels.
- Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
For me, BlueJeans is better than Skype (Lync) in stability, integration and usability. The main difference is when we need to make a conference call with a lot of participants. Then, BlueJeans is the winner because the platform supports us better. Also, the fact that I can connect with people outside the organization makes BlueJeans a very good option.
