Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet are better and I prefer them over Join.me. It is a good cheap alternative.

Join.me has many shortcomings when it comes to comparison with Webex. I believe Webex is by far the best however there is a small piece of the of the market for Join.me. Join.me was too late to the game and lacks in features on top of it.

Join.me works well for all our issues, so we have had no need to use another solution.

They both have their good and bad things but to me Join.me feels like there's less steps to get things done. Zoom is more robust but I'm also paying a lot more for it and it can be cumbersome at times to set up meetings. I've had far more issues using Zoom than Join.me.

Join.Me was a legacy subscription that carried over, there was no longer a need or desire to use Join.Me when everyone is so accustomed to Teams.

I have been a Skype user for over 10 years and while it has its pros, I think Join.me provides ease of use that cannot be found on Skype or Zoom. Basecamp is more of a project management tool but it has some video conferencing features that can be used. If I was to rate these …

Screen sharing and visibility work particularly well with Join.me, we haven't encountered any interruptions during our exchanges or any difficulties that would require technical support.

I haven't used any other software here that is similar to join.me. I know one software that management has been talking about using for a free trial was GoToMeeting which is under the same umbrella company.

Compared to Adobe Connect, Join.me is very easy to install and rollout across the organization. Companies of any size can adopt this application for easy and effective conference calls, impromptu meetings and recording sessions. Cost-wise, it was easy to justify the purchase as …
Chose Join.me (discontinued)
Join.me may be more reliable in my eyes. However, because of how Skype is adopted company-wide and across many clients, I do not think it competes in this market. It requires more exposure and easier integration with Outlook.

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.

Most suitable for large corporations who want to have real-time control of multiple devices in different countries. It is not suitable for scenarios where permissions for using the system need to be obtained from the user for every session if there is no support subscription in place.

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Now, it doesn’t work in fast network environments: sometimes, data is delayed during transfer.
  • There are a small number of ways that a user is allowed to change the interface on the device.
  • Some minor increases in difficulty with advanced functions of the application.

As long as I continue to provide remote support for my clients, it's a no brainier. For what I pay out, I probably make it back tenfold in the ability to provide remote support from wherever and whenever. Not to mention the saved gas money for a fix that only takes 5 minutes but it takes you 20 minutes to get there. As my business continues to grow, and I support more and more clients, my need for TeamViewer will only grow.

Usability
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!

Compared to other products I've used (ConnectWise Control), TeamViewer is harder to set up and get connected. It is especially difficult to set up "permanent" unattended remote access, where you want to be able to connect to and control a remote computer without having to exchange codes and passwords every time you connect.

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).

The support from the Teamviewer team has always been top notch. Any support ticket that we have submitted has been handled very quickly and with the best possible resolution. We find in most cases, contacting for a support ticket is not even necessary, as the knowledge base is more than adequate.

I have never used the online training either.

Installation and configuration of the TeamViewer does not pose a huge problem and we were able to install the software in our network within one week. Helping staff was organized in the form of training sessions to understand the different aspects that it offers and because of its rich graphical user interface, adoption was easy.

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.

In my position, I have also used AnyDesk because we frequently utilize various software for different tasks. However, we opted for TeamViewer because our team members are not technically inclined. They are experts in other areas. TeamViewer was the ideal choice for us since we needed a software program that even non-techies could use.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

It took about 3 months.
  • Customer Support of our business has become more interactive with customers, leading to faster resolution of their problems.
  • Remotely accessing devices in our office allows employees to stay productive while working from home.
