Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BlueJeans is being used mainly by the recruiting and screening teams of the company. We use it to connect with candidates who want to join the company. We send candidates a link to the call, and then we run the whole screening process and interviews using the BlueJeans platform, especially due to its recording capabilities.

Pros and Cons

Recording calls
Video quality
Screen-sharing while video calling without interrupting the video

It has problems with low connectivity situations.
Sometimes even with good connectivity it shows an alert of poor connection.
It has BIG issues with other apps that may be muting the computer, or if more than one voice calling app is open. It doesn't handle the microphone status very well, and you have to unmute your computer before starting a call, otherwise, it will remain muted for the whole duration of the meeting.

Return on Investment

It helps support the remote nature of our work.
It provides a platform that allows the company to record meetings, giving the different teams the opportunity to review calls, improve the overall performance, fine-tune it, and save time.
Based on the prior answer it translates into cost savings.

Alternatives Considered

Zoom, Google Hangouts Meet and Google Hangouts (Classic)

I would say Zoom is the best one and then BlueJeans. I would prefer to use Google Hangouts, but it lacks certain features that both BlueJeans and Zoom have.

Likelihood to Recommend

I don't really like BlueJeans much. I prefer simpler and cheaper alternatives like Google Hangouts. Unfortunately, Google Hangouts doesn't have recording capabilities, but all-in-all I much prefer it.
