Considered Both Products	Discontinued Products Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) We have tried a number of online meeting platforms since 2010 when we first commenced our online and international programs.

Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) If you're looking for something basic that handles a little bit of everything when it comes to meetings, screen shares and remote desktop control join.me is a great options. If you're a super user and really wanting a lot of detailed features and rich user interfaces and money … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) 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. Incentivized Helpful? Maximus Mednick Lead Solution Instructor in Professional Services at Riverbed Technology (Computer Networking, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) It's faster, cheaper, and it just works. As I said, I don't have to think about it. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) Join.me beats its competitors on pricing, but beyond that its competitors have a much richer feature set. Incentivized Helpful? Christopher Page, MBA Digital Marketing Consultant in Marketing at LaunchGo, LLC (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Webex has a higher quality video and audio output, but it still depends on bandwidth. Join.me is significantly cheaper, offers a free version, and is much easier to set up. While the video and audio quality with Join.me isn't as great as Webex, it still gets the job done and is … Incentivized Helpful? Allison Butz Account Manager in Sales at TrendKite (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) I was not the decision maker in my department who chose join.me, but in my experience, Join.me is much less consistent and user-friendly than WebEx Incentivized Helpful? Gil Lopez CTS ING Integrated Technology Architect in Engineering at TEECOM (Design, 51-200 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Similar offerings. Join.me was selected due to easy, consistent management. Quickly embraced by our teams, uses the hardware already in place. Each user gets his / her private meeting space or can generate a one time code for ad-hoc meetings. In general, join.me provided … Incentivized Helpful? Samantha McMahon AssetZone Lead Analyst at Liquidity Services (Consumer Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) I do like join.me for shorter presentations but I think it could use an upgrade. It’s great that each meeting creates its own link which is easy to send to others. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) Join me is so much easier to use than other products we have used. We currently use 2 products as backups (for security reasons) and have always preferred the ease of use associated with Join me. The personalised URL and web browser viewing without other software installations … Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Robinson Principal Solution Architect in Information Technology at CloudStarter Labs (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) [We selected Join.me because of] Competitive Pricing Global Telephone Numbers Incentivized Helpful? Risto Milovanov Director of Business Solutions and Project Management in Information Technology at ATPI (Hospitality, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Lower cost, easier to use, available across different geographies Incentivized Helpful? Micah Jones Chief Information Officer in Corporate at Phoenix Ortho (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Honestly most of these are about the same in terms of functionality. Join.me has a competitive price but is not necessarily the cheapest. We selected it to consolidate things internally. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) For quick, simple, and sporadic meetings it is great. Low barrier to entry. Super easy to use, especially when you are on a bind and need to act fast. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) I have used Join.me, DameWare and TeamViewer. Join.me has the least amount of hassle in regards to quick setup.

Massimo Emilione Systems Analyst in Information Technology at Avaap Inc. (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Head to head join me is quicker to use and is easier to use. It requires literally nothing to install unlike the other applications, which makes it the best choice when working with users who are less technical. join.me is the fastest to get started and share with your users. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) Again, join.me has many of the same issues the TeamViewer or Webex have, such as dropped connections, laggy, jitter, etc. These are expected with over the public internet/cloud services such as these. I think where Join.me is a step above is how easy it is to set up and get a … Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Keogh Digital Strategy Manager in Marketing at Ariad Communications (Marketing and Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) I use the free version with ease. Incentivized Helpful?	Cisco Verified User Chose Webex Meetings Skype for Business is used much more widely in the organization now because it is a lot cheaper for internal-only meetings. However, Skype does seem to have even more audio connection issues than WebEx. Our C-Suite also uses BlueJeans for their quarterly review webinars, and it … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Webex Meetings We actually use a variety of the offerings. We have a few Join.me accounts because sometimes that is easier for calling/screen sharing meetings. We opted against UberConference because although it was the most cost-effective, we found calls were being dropped regularly. For … Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Meyer Founder & CEO in Corporate at Under A Tree, Inc. (Non-profit Organization Management, 1-10 employees) Chose Webex Meetings Initially, Webex was the most reliable, secure, and feature-rich option on the market when we started our online schools 12 years ago.

Andrew Williams Senior Account Manager in Finance and Accounting at Cox Enterprises (Telecommunications, 10,001+ employees) Chose Webex Meetings Webex Meetings is unmatched since it provides powerful and easy-to-use features.

Aarón Barton Product Manager in Sales at Intersel (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Webex Meetings With Cisco Webex Meetings, you can integrate with Outlook, and you can share selected applications and not only your screen. We had an improved audio experience as well with Cisco Webex. Incentivized Helpful? Matt Judice Tier 2 Integrated Support in Sales at Vrbo (Hospitality, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Webex Meetings I think Webex is about the same in terms of functions, compared to the others listed at the top of this. If you think about it there are only so many things that a screen share meeting platform can do. That being said Webex is heavier and slower to load than some the web … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Webex Meetings As a consultant, we have the opportunity to use many web conferencing software with our client organizations. WebEx falls right in the middle for the technologies. In my opinion, it's better than Skype for Business but not as good as newer web-conferencing technologies like … Incentivized Helpful? John Predmore Network Administrator in Information Technology at First Bankers Trust Company, NA (Banking, 201-500 employees) Chose Webex Meetings In my experience WebEx is the most mature, fully featured and reliable solution of it's type i have used.
