Accommodates large meetings with up to 500 participants, and I find it pretty intuitive and user-friendly

As per company policy, most internal meetings happen through Google Meet, but for large-scale meetings with more than 500 participants, we use BlueJeans Meetings. It's more like a broadcast meeting platform, which Google Meet doesn't allow The main advantage is the ability to host large meetings…

It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work.

Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is really easy and there are no complicated graphics or icons. It is simple and has an intuitive design. It's user-friendly over anything else I have used."

"The quality of both audio and video is good."

"It is available in all flavors. You can use it in the browser, and you can use it on an Android phone for which a BlueJeans app is available. I use an Android phone, so I only know about Android. So, you can join a meeting from the application installed on your phone or from the mobile browser, or you can use it from a laptop or a PC."

"The main advantage is the ability to host large meetings with up to 500 participants. The sound quality is also better on BlueJeans. I find it pretty intuitive and user-friendly."

"It's easy to set up."

"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."

"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."

"It was just chosen because somebody at the company said, "We need a meeting thing. Hey, go find a meeting thing." It wasn't me, but somebody else in the organization was like, "Alright, let's use GoToMeeting. It's free.""

"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."

"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."

"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."

"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."

Cons

"Screen sharing is available but there is no feature for remote access, to take control of another machine."

"I haven't had any big challenges. The annotation feature should be improved. So if I need to mark something or point something out, it's there, but it's not that user friendly. Other than that it's fine. In terms of collaboration, I think there could be some improvement."

"Its cost is very high. If you sell it in India, which is a price-conscious market, the prices should be as per the market competition. You cannot charge the rates that are applicable in the US. They should tailor it to the local market. It should be in line with what the competition is offering."

"BlueJeans doesn't allow as much customization of your background in a video call, so that could be improved."

"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."

"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."

"It is not so stable."

"Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms."

"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."

"Manageability needs to be improved."

"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."

"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."

More GoToMeeting cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I once tried buying it for myself, but it was very costly. It is quite expensive as compared to other solutions. With BlueJeans, there are carrier charges if you call the toll-free number. The customer doesn't pay for the call, but the buyer or the subscriber of BlueJeans has to pay for it. That is where BlueJeans becomes very costly, and that is where Google, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom are very helpful because you don't have to pay these charges."

"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."

"Negotiate for discounts."
