Overall Satisfaction with BlueJeans
BlueJeans is being used at Lapithus for corporate calls and business meetings across 5 European locations. Any meetings done via a call that have more than two people will include BlueJeans. All teams in all the offices use it, as well as having BlueJeans set up in 2 of our meeting rooms for video conference calls. Most recently, we have enjoyed using BlueJeans for meetings during the pandemic as we can utilize it remotely, which is helpful when working from home. It is also helpful for scheduling calls with external companies as anyone can call in using their normal phone from anywhere in the world.
- BlueJeans enables a large number of people to be on a call. For example, when our CEO needs to communicate with the entire company across all 5 European locations.
- BlueJeans works well when I schedule meetings from my manager's calendar, as Outlook automatically places his BlueJeans details rather than mine.
- BlueJeans silent entry system works well when there are multiple people on the call calling in from multiple locations. It is helpful as if they enter 5 minutes late it doesn't disturb the flow of conversation in the meeting.
- BlueJeans works well when showing presentations in our boardroom. It is really easy to share screens and do IT demonstrations.
- It would be helpful if the meeting organizer didn't have to open the line with their credentials in order to start.
- I think it would be good if when having a large call with multiple rooms that the screen splits between all video callers. Other times, it flickers between different screens even if the person on the other screens isn't speaking.
- It would be great if BlueJeans had an added chat feature so that people could share links whilst talking on video or voice.
- BlueJeans had lead to more productive meetings as multiple people can join the call and also from external companies.
- BlueJeans has to lead to money saved on travel, as the video conference calling system can be used for executive meetings, particularly useful during this travel ban.
- BlueJeans has helped me optimize my manager's calendar as I can fit more meetings in avoiding any traveling times to other offices, as we can use BlueJeans instead.
We have used BlueJeans for all of our town hall meetings which is extremely useful, it allows our CEO to communicate urgent messages and company updates. It is extremely useful to have BlueJeans at a time like this, as every employee whether working from home or the office can log into the call!
BlueJeans Rooms has been set up in two of our meeting rooms. For my job role, this is really helpful, quick and easy to use. It is also great with looking more professional as I can set up a call before any guests arrive. We have also used it for interviews in different offices and it has worked really well.
I have briefly used Zoom in my free time, not in a working environment. However, I do not find it as easy to use/ user-friendly as BlueJeans. I have also used Skype for Business. However, I do not like the screen sharing option as much as BlueJeans, as the quality is not as good.
