Overall Satisfaction with Join.me

We mostly use it to do screen shares with clients. Since we are a marketing service provider, we're working with many different clients and Join.me allows us to teach them things that would be hard to explain without the visual aids. Often we'll have to have them do something on their end of the Amazon account so Join.me allows them to easily connect our computers so we can walk them through the process. It's also very useful when we are training clients as we can have them do things themselves which helps solidify the information much better than us just showing them.
  • Most importantly, it's very quick and easy for companies to join. You have a custom URL and you just tell them to go there and follow the directions.
  • They do NOT have to download a plugin to see your screen, which makes things a LOT easier. They only have to download the plugin if you want to have them share their screen or give them mouse control.
  • It loads pretty quickly and has a lot of local numbers, typically the directions are clear and clients don't have trouble joining.
  • Occasionally I have clients who have difficulty joining, I think it may be due to a technical glitch so I'm looking into that.
  • As with any screen sharing, sometimes the image lags a lot if either party has a slow internet connection.
  • I don't use it a ton but that's fine because they have really low pricing plans. We absolutely have to have a screen share with clients sometimes so having Join.me at those moments is a necessity.
The other options are fine, but they all require someone to download a plugin in order to join the meeting. I want them to be able to be talking with me through audio as quickly and easily as possible which is why Join.me is the only option.
It does what it needs to do. The drawbacks are there, but all the other options have the same issues as far as I can tell.
