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…
Kallol Chaudhuri - PeerSpot reviewer
Helped us tremendously in collaborating with each other and getting our work done and offers the breakout rooms feature.
We are a team located across various locations. Not in the same geographic location. We are distributed. And it's not possible to physically travel and meet people. Sometimes it's simply not possible. But Zoom has helped us tremendously in collaborating with each other and getting our work done. Without Zoom, it would have been very, very difficult. The breakout rooms feature is also helpful. For example, I have a meeting attended by hundreds of people and want to create subgroups. I typically use it for different role-play scenarios during training if we are trying to conduct some training on presentation skills. So there's a large group, which is initially trained by an instructor. Then you get instructions that the room will be split into smaller breakout rooms. I'll give you a topic, and you'll practice in these smaller groups. That's one way I use it. So it's like a simulation of a real brainstorming session I'd have in a physical space.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The quality of both audio and video is good."
"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 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 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 solution is much better and more reliable than Microsoft Teams or Webex."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The screen-sharing capabilities are very good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I find it very easy to use for multiple persons."
"Zoom is stable and easy to use."
"It's not a big deal to set up a meeting."
"The ability to make video calls is the solution's most valuable aspect."
 

Cons

"BlueJeans doesn't allow as much customization of your background in a video call, so that could be improved."
"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."
"Zoom lacks dashboards, more could be included."
"While Zoom calls are great for talking and chatting, they often lack follow-up on action items and collaboration. Most of the time, it's just talking and listening without much progress. There's a missing piece in these tools. About 90 percent of those calls could be replaced by other tools that focus more on the deliverables that make a real impact rather than just being another wasted meeting. It doesn't improve collaboration."
"I can't speak of any shortcomings. It worked fine."
"I don't know whose product is at fault, however, if you've ever had to go from Zoom to Teams to WebEx, it really messes around with your device settings."
"It takes time to acclimate end users to the product."
"The technical support is very bad."
"Whiteboarding would allow me to utilize the screen to draw something, explain, and write something."
"We are more inclined to work with Microsoft Teams."
 

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."
"The cost for Zoom is reasonable."
"The cost of Zoom is approximately $150 USD annually."
"We generally have a strict budget so the pricing for Zoom is reasonable."
"There is a subscription to use the solution."
"Zoom is a very cheaply priced video conferencing solution, and using this product has saved our business a lot of expense."
"There are both free and paid versions available."
"As an organization, we are paying a license fee for Zoom. Personally, I use the free version."
"I am using the free version of Zoom."
