Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Join.me for conference calls. Our clients follow our presentation while on the phone with us. Being able to follow along with us and see our custom solutions (without letting them log into our tools) is a great selling feature.

Pros and Cons

Screen sharing with ease. Simple install and run.
More professional than using Skype. Skype seems to be more so for video conferencing. We don't want that - we want customers to see our screen. That's it.

Seems to disconnect randomly. (No, this is not an Internet issue).
Small lag occasionally between what's on our screen and what's on the customer's screen.

Return on Investment

No negative impact. It's free. ROI can't get much better than that, especially when we use it so much successfully.

Alternatives Considered

WebEx

WebEx (Cisco) is the same thing as Join.me...just more expensive. It's not worth the money for the Cisco name when I can do what needs to be done with Join.me for free.

Other Software Used

Skype, ScreenConnect, LogMeIn Rescue

Likelihood to Recommend

It's free. There's nothing better than that. It works perfectly for our screen sharing needs. We can deal with the occasional problems. It usually just requires a restart of the program.
