Overall Satisfaction with BlueJeans

At the beginning, it was a tool that was acquired in a consolidated way by CONACyT and that was given to us by the research centers belonging to it. It was used occasionally and in addition to our videoconferencing equipment, but little by little it gained ground and largely displaced the teams assigned to it, and at present it is the main communication tool used in my Institution due to the health emergency that has forced us to work at home.
  • It is a very stable and highly secure tool.
  • It is a very easy to use tool, very intuitive and easy to use for any user.
  • I think sometimes if it could be advisable to see more than 25 people at the same time, especially in group classes.
  • When using the wallpaper, the processor of my PC consumes a lot of use of the processor and if I use it for a long time the video stops, forcing me to restart the application, I think this application can be improved by making it lighter.
  • Definitely the use of BlueJeans results in savings in travel expenses and expenses to hold meetings.
  • The speed and simplicity with which you can schedule videoconference sessions is something that makes it very practical.
In this case, the use of BlueJeans over Microsoft Teams has made us aware of notable differences, for example with BlueJeans you can program several videoconference sessions with the same license, which with Teams you cannot, in general several functions are similar but now BlueJeans exceeds the number of simultaneous screens that Teams has, in addition to the connectivity with videoconferencing equipment that BlueJeans has directly and that Teams does not have that option unless it is used by third parties such as BlueJeans itself.
BlueJeans is very useful for work meetings, seminars, degree exams, courses and workshops.

In classes with the interaction of many students I think it has the disadvantage of not being able to observe all the participants at the same time or being able to move between groups of participants.

In the current conditions of social distancing it has become an indispensable tool for daily work.
