Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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."
"The GUI is very user-friendly."
"Video conferencing to hold virtual meetings helps to prevent employee displacement, where everyone can now enjoy the comfort of their own offices."
"The calling features are most valuable, especially now as we are working remotely."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"I like the fact that it opens up your video conferencing, and, in many cases, the audio at the same time."
"The integration with Microsoft Outlook for creating and scheduling meetings is nice."
"It's a good and stable product that fits my needs."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"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."
"Screen sharing is available but there is no feature for remote access, to take control of another machine."
"BlueJeans doesn't allow as much customization of your background in a video call, so that could be improved."
"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."
"Skype for Business could improve the interface. It could be easier to use. Additionally, it's hard to find the people or add people you want to communicate with."
"We need a feature where you can virtually raise your hand to silently let the presenter know that you have a question."
"The inability to integrate Skype with other products is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We overcame the audio quality issues by asking users to use the 'Call Me' feature with their desk phone."
"Microsoft Teams, as I see it now, is more useful than Skype for Business."
"Whenever someone is using a messaging platform, the messages needs to be stored. In Skype for Business, the message will not be seen later on if you're not online. It isn't useful, in my opinion."
"The challenge we had with Skype for Business was with the signing in when a user signed out and when signing in back in again, there was a bit of a problem. We switched from Skype for Business to Teams, and Teams never had that sign-in problem once we did the switch."
"Make it user friendly."
