Join.Me vs Zoom Workplace Comparison

I mainly use Join.Me on my iOS device to collaborate with my fellow via audio and video calls from anywhere over the internet.

I slightly dislike that Join.Me host few participants in a single meeting compared to alternatives such as Zoom.

I love how easy it was to make a join me link and share with other attendees. Also the custom URL for meetings was great

It doesn't have as good of bells and whistles as the old standbys in this area like Zoom and Webex!

With Join.Me,I can easily schedule and host simple and secure online meeting quickly.Again,I can share my desktop screen instantly with others using Join.Me.I like ease to make crystal-clear audio and high quality video calls.

Join.Me cannot host online meeting sessions with large number of participants compared to it's alternatives like Zoom, Google Meet, Webex Meetings etc.

I much prefer Zoom over join.me. It is much simpler and overs great features.

Nothing, it does exactly what you need it to do and is easy for users to take advantage of.

Ease of use from a host and invitee perspective. Price point. Bolt on options such as rooms.

Limited storage of recorded meetings. Onboarding new users could be easier.

It's easy to call-in, the quality is fine, the settings are nice.

No complaints, it works every time and I use it with teams around the world.

As my company moves more and more towards the remote work life. More then any other video conferencing software zoom makes me feel more like I'm in the room with other meeting attendees and less like I'm giving a presentation to dead air. The multi-screen windows, the breakout room options truly make this a dynamic experience.

I did wish there was a better way to brand the zoo experience when I'm really trying to impress clients, similar to join.me.

Zoom made virtual meetings simple. They're not the first to the game as others have existed such as WebEx and Join.me. WebEx was just a nightmare to setup as, in the past, the end user would have to get permissions to install necessary files. Join.me was limiting in scope. Zoom eliminates these hassles and just gets it working.

Security and encryption seems to be an issue, but most of my meetings aren't something where this is important. I also dislike the limitation on the free trial of 45 minutes because competitors (such as Google Meet) don't have this limitation.

I love how simple it is to get everyone logged on and get the meeting rolling. As long as everyone has the app installed ahead of time, it is always smooth. The backgrounds are fun, the sound quality is great, and the screen sharing has all of the functionality that I need.

It is sometimes difficult to make sure that clients have the software downloaded ahead of time. It would be nice if it could function on the web as well.

Easy to use and interactive tool. The participant list view and ability to annotate when screen sharing is strong.

Hard to find the End Meeting button when you are screen sharing but not a big issue once you have used it a few times.

Zoom makes it easy to control your meetings from the settings to the seamless video / audio. We like that you can set the meeting to start without the host and that you can control who's sharing their screen, who's muted and more. They have a lot of features to really customize your experience.

Zoom is a bit more expensive than the tools we used previously. They do offer more features, but the cost itself for some of the larger packages was a tough sell for some of the other decision makers at my company.

Zoom is great for distance meetings and live screen sharing. I’ve found there this is little lag of any, and the quality of the stream is high. Zoom is a sleeker alternative to join.me

I haven’t had any issues with zoom in function or connectivity. I will admit that the interface for joining other meetings can be confusing in the beginning, but by know means is it a deterrent from using zoom.

The scheduling function is so easy to use and the integration with Gmail is amazing. Not to mention it looks clean and professional. The screen share is crisp and beautiful. The admin panel is also an amazing feature and makes managing users a breeze.

So far I have not found anything that I don't like about it.

I love Zoom for it's ease of use - copy your meeting ID and paste it and go. No need to schedule everything twice (outlook and zoom), no complicated dial in information etc. Works from your computer, phone or desk phone, easy to share screens, easy to see multiple participants simultaneously

Wish I hadn't spent so much time on competitors software (join.me, gotomeeting , Skype etc) Zoom doesn't seem to put a huge strain on my computer either, it runs harmoniously with other applications from what I can see

Phenomenal software. Better than Skype. Better than join.me. Better then GoTo Meeting. Has all the features you need . For most people, you can just get by on the free version. Great for video conferencing. No annoying download everytime you do a meeting.

Had some difficulties find the mute button right off, but once found it wasn't an issue.

We tried a lot of other services (Join.me, GoTo, Hangouts) but none worked as well as Zoom. Zoom is easy to use. Zoom is inexpensive. Zoom support is great Administering Zoom is not difficult. Zoom Rooms changed the way we handle meetings for the better.

I'm hard pressed to think of much that I don't like about Zoom. The prices could be lower, but they're already lower than most other players.

- Easy to share and join a meeting - Mobile and desktop joining options - Easy to mute audio and stop video - Screen-sharing capabilities

- Seems like we always have a technical issue when using it - Often disruptions in video feed or audio - Clunky UX - You have to sign up for a profile to customize anything - Not easy for new users - Have used other video conferencing software (Slack, join.me, etc.) and prefer them

I like that it is very easy to get up and running with Zoom even without reading any of the tutorials, readme's or getting started videos. The application is great on the Mac OS X, really big buttons make it simple and straightforward to host a web con quickly, with just 5 buttons, less is more definitely more. The settings is easy to get to as its in the top right, contacts and chats is also a click away on the bottom nav bar. It feels pretty effortless to both join and leave calls.

I don't like that when you join a web con, it some times goes full screen straight away. Now I have never looked into the configuration but that is most def one of the most annoying things about the application. It's also a bit tricky to check what settings are active on a web conference. For me - the 2 things I want to go when joining a meeting of 100+ participants is (a) Turn off my web camera (b) Mute my microphone and honestly it should be easier to do this on the app. Perhaps an incognito mode. But I always get the feeling I am fumbling around to do this when I join a call.

Simple and clean interface. Easy to setup and install. Meetings can be attended across devices or by phone. Includes screen sharing for all users. Built-in conference scheduling and chat system. Can easily choose audio settings. Connects to Google, Apple, and other calendars. Contact organization. It's also free!

I would appreciate more web camera control options. The app can show way more of my location than I would like and it's difficult to adjust this with a built-in webcam.

* Easy use * Good sound quality * Live screen annotation during screen share

* You had to setup a meeting to allow other people to join, you can't just give them a link * Too many features, most probably you won't use all of them

I work for an organization that has two campuses, and a generous work from home policy. This means that a majority of our meetings take place virtually. I've tried lots of different options before, Free Conference Call, GoToMeeting, Skype, Join.Me, Google Hangouts, etc., and Zoom is easily the best. The mobile app is fantastic, the desktop app works great, and it's simple and easy to use. We also love Zoom for the way it allows us to connect with larger groups of clients and partners, to video conference together or to share a feed easily for a presentation or meeting. Great resource.

It can be a little unruly to run a meeting via Zoom with more than about 6-8 people. I don't know if that's a flaw with Zoom as much as it is a reality of virtual meetings, but it's something I've noticed.

It's easy to start and join meetings -- both for internal teams and external clients. Just send a link and anyone can participate. This is a very intuitive alternative to platforms like Skype, Join.me and GoToMeeting. And our team's experience is that it's more reliable than Skype. We're a small group of remote workers, so our team is online together via Zoom daily, some of us continuously for multiple...

If you are presenting on Zoom you have to keep your eye on the screen to see if you have chat messages waiting, but that is the same with GoToMeeting. The chat alert is definitely more visible than in GoToMeeting, and it feels more natural and less distracting to open and respond to the chat in Zoom. Basically, Zoom has done a great job with the meeting controls to keep everything very simple and visible.
