Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BlueJeans is used across our entire company and I have experience using it in both smaller team settings and company-wide all hands meetings. Most of my experience has been with these smaller meetings (anywhere from 2-10 people) and have found it to be useful when sharing screens for others to follow along.

Pros and Cons

Good sound quality
Integration with Google Calendar
Personal meeting code that stays consistent

Not clear where to change background settings
Not a lot of customizability for in-meeting view settings

Return on Investment

Face to face connections with the team during COVID

Alternatives Considered

Google Hangouts Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Amazon Chime

Outside of BlueJeans I have most experience with Google Meet and Zoom. I think both of those are a bit more suited to "casual" use and are known a bit more for their ease of use even without using their respective apps. BlueJeans in my mind has a more business focus.

Likelihood to Recommend

BlueJeans is well suited to businesses or organizations that are already ingrained in the BlueJeans ecosystem and have other participants familiar with it. It definitely helps to have the BlueJeans app, which your everyday person might not have, so I think it's less appropriate to use for non business settings.
