The place I work uses BlueJeans and I really like it.

The dedicated app runs on just about everything'; iOS, OSX, Windows, Android.

On phones you can use Video and Audio or just plain Audio (Low Bandwidth mode).

You can send your BlueJeans room URL and they can join with just a web browser (Web browsers get less features though). Non-Hosts can join the meeting without signing up for anything. They just click and join.

I think the audio and video is pretty good. Much better than Facetime, which is not a good comparison because Facetime is pretty terrible. Audio quality is good.

There is dedicated hardware that supports BlueJeans so you can use it in conferences rooms.

You can record meetings.

All the standard stuff like screen share and what not. You can even ping pong back and forth. I worked with someone where they had to type in some stuff and I had to type in other stuff on their computer. They just joined my BlueJeans room and when I was not typing, they could type. No clicking to take control or give it back, it was more or less seamless.
