Join.me (discontinued) Reviews & Insights

We use for basically all our web conferencing needs. Since the tool offers great features and meets our needs, we use it across the whole organization. We use this tool when we need to conduct virtual meetings especially during the the covid-19 times. It has been helpful as some employees can work from home and still contribute to our virtual meetings. Join.me is also a great tool when it comes to inhouse communications.

Join.me is great when it comes to holding virtual meetings - web conferencing. This is because it offers great features such as quality audio and full HD video quality. In addition, many people can participate during a virtual meeting which is a plus.

One scenario where Join.me is not appropriate is when some participants are based in areas with poor internet coverage because the software lags and this can be annoying.

Join.me is being used by me with some of my clients. Join.me has a ton of products for both consumers and businesses, but I use it for business purposes. The GoToMeeting is what myself and clients use most often. But they have several products so that you can literally keep doing business from anywhere in the world, and as we all know this has saves businesses over the last year plus! This program definitely had part in my success instead of failure this past year or so.

I can only comment on my own experiences and have only used one small part of what Join.me has to offer, so far anyway. But without GoToMeeting some of my clients would have lost out on substantial business opportunities we provided for him as far as appointments with reminders and invites and web meetings/conferences. It also enabled me to continue to provide what I needed to for my clients.

Our team worked directly with companies to generate business opportunities for their sales teams. It is incredibly important to be able to get both our team and our client’s team together to discuss messaging and what we have found in our discussions with target prospects. In many cases, the teams were in different states. We used Join.Me not only to connect and talk but also share screens to go over data points and strategize any changes to who we target or how we approach those targets.

Join.Me is great in almost any scenario you are connecting with other people and need to share information. Particularly when there are a larger number of people on a call. Join.Me lends itself to group collaboration as for the most part it has great connection and the screen share is top-notch. The only issue I run into is when using cellular data where even in the best service areas doesn’t perform as well as other options like Zoom. If you plan on working from home or have a good wireless network you should be fine but if the majority of folks are going to be connecting on cellular networks I would explore different options.

Join.me is the tool we use on a day to day basis to show our software to potential clients. We use it to screen share our software and take clients through our demonstration. It also has the capability of being the platform we use to speak to clients if it's not done via phone calls separately. It is used by our implementation teach to train current users of our software or our Sales team with the goal of selling the software. We do not travel to the properties to do these so the screen share helps us in the simple fact we don't have to leave the office.

It is definitely well suited for a company that does not plan on traveling to show their product. It is easy to do screen sharing as well as meetings on the go internally with the team. It's not well suited I believe with higher up clientele just because the lag could show or present a poor representation of the product you're trying to sell.

Join.me is used to run demos and communicate with prospects and clients around the world.

Running demos of our software.

We use it generally to communicate and educate different departments on the implementation on new spreadsheets, software, etc. Also for some conference meetings of off-site office locations. We have found it to be most helpful in relaying instructions for implementing and using any new spreadsheets and software products that we are throughout our branch locations.

Very good for introducing and instruction of new, and some of our existing, spreadsheets, software and programs.

Join.me is being used by the entire organization. We do use it for internal meetings, but the bulk of the use is with prospects and clients. If you've attended "webinar" type meetings, you know that the first 10 minutes seem to be getting the tech to work for everyone. That just isn't the case with Join.me. It is rock solid, super easy to use, and it just plain works.

Join.me works great for product demos, presentations and customer training. The audio is great, especially when the participants dial in via phone. It is easy to navigate as the host, and acting as host while presenting is easy to do.

I haven't used it for mass webinars, so I can't speak to how well it works for things like that.

Join.me is used by the new business sales team in conjunction with DocSend. DocSend is a system we implemented to share a deck with prospects on a live call, but come to find out after signing the contract that DocSend doesn't actually have audio-conferencing built in, so we had to add the Join.me integration for this. Join.me allows us to have an audio conference line and to share my screen.

I think Join.me on it's own probably works a lot better than how I use it in conjunction with DocSend which is not great (we plan on switching vendors once our contract is up because of this). It is great because it allows you a lot of personalization and flexibility with your meeting room. Don't use it with DocSend- it is unreliable.

Join.me is used across the entire growthPlus and sales departments. It addresses the business problem of connecting multiple people on a conference call, and visualization via screen share.

Join.me is decent when it works, but is not consistent and often drops calls or doesn’t connect all members of the meeting. Join.me audio is no good and has a ton of feedback.

Join.me is used across HomeAway in several different departments. We use it on the Onboarding team to conduct product demos, listing quality reviews, software setup meetings and conference meetings. It allows us to direct the customer to a specific issue that we need to fix or have the customer fix. Join.me makes the conversation quick and easy with out the need to send multiple screen shots.

Join.me is well suited for most applications where you might want to use WebEx. How many people will use it? (the free version allows 9 people to join). Do they need to call into the meeting? (if you have multiple people calling you may need a cisco bridge). Do your attendees have access to download the viewer? (if not other solutions may be needed).
