It's great for virtually meeting with people in other cities/countries. It's terrific how they provide so many international numbers for people to use!
If you're on a bit of a budget the pricing for Join.me definitely makes it an easy choice. We were able to download it and get it up and running for free on a few of my teammates PCs that needed assistance with some computer setup. It can be a little confusing to access some of the features at first but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy to use. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it for extremely large meetings, but it's excellent for smaller groups.
Join.me has provided us many features that made it possible for us to communicate.
Another plus point is its staff which is pretty good ‘professional and highly supportive and is always there for help.
We can also connect with people outside our region and with its advanced functionality we have found it as the best audio conference software than any other software of its type.
it has made our audio meeting experience very effective.
Early on (many years ago), I occasionally had some trouble getting everyone onto the same call. But that's only happened a couple of times many moons ago.
In my experience when using the mobile app the quality drops when on cellular data, even with a strong signal. Given the current challenges, teams Face ID like to see the mobile capabilities get some improvement as it doesn’t seem to be optimized when not on a PC or wireless network.
Join.me is one of the easiest programs I've ever used. It's so easy to get it set up and installed and even easier for someone to join a meeting. The controls are very intuitive and labeled appropriately. The UIX makes sense. It's been a reliable product in my app stack-I love it!
I honestly haven't reached out to their Support team. I get notifications of what they are working on which is good to see, but I haven't directly spoken with any of them. I think my main reason for this is that join.me gives me just what I need (not much more and not much less).
Call quality is very similar to the above products. However, most of our community partners and collaborators are not aware of FreeConference and are thus less able to utilize it without prompting and sometimes assistance from us.
We have tried a number of online meeting platforms since 2010 when we first commenced our online and international programs. Although Join.Me was a mainstay for us at first--affordable, safe, and great way to provide remote access that other platforms failed to provide--now we have found much less utility since we use Zoom which is affordable, provides a more robust and cohesive user experience, and now also provides remote access when granted.
There is ABSOLUTELY no negative ROI because its free and you can't substitute a cost for time because it took no time lol. Great service all the way around.
I am currently waiting for the contract to expire for our current payed provider so that we might permanently (company wide) switch to freeconferences.com.
We have been able to beat the learning curve as Join.me is almost self explanatory to most of our team.
The cost per user ratio can feel a bit expensive but for the speed and convenience we feel it was the right investment
The biggest ROI is time, being able to go from email to meeting in a few clicks makes Join.me feel natural and not just another "video conferencing" tool that we use.
