I work for a large multi-national media company, and we've been using BlueJeans for video conferencing for the last few years. It's been very reliable, but I haven't heard of very many others using BlueJeans. I'm curious if the security issues in Zoom vs its competitors more have to do with the amount of people using it and putting eyes on it.

I'd think more eyes on Zoom right now will be better for it in the long run. Anecdotally, security aside, I've found Zoom to be about one step ahead of BlueJeans in pretty much every way.

I was sent a link for them about a month ago. On Mojave the app kept crashing. I couldn't figure out how to join via the browser, so we switched to zoom.

We use both Zoom and BlueJeans at work, and Zoom Just Works™ while BlueJeans has all sorts of compatibility headaches; if it's not Chrome/Windows, it's pretty much a crapshoot.

That being said, the AV quality between the two are pretty similar.

I found the quality and ease of use better with zoom, it's probably security through obscurity in the case of zoom vs BlueJeans though.

Bluejeans seemed to be running into audio issues as we leaned on it heavier recently

We used BlueJeans at my previous job and it was reliably awful. So many issues with it.

I'm using Jitsi now and am quite happy with it.

I've used BlueJeans extensively and I completely agree. I believe that it doesn't have a free tier though and this limits its adoption.

I also do not believe that it claims to have E2E encryption or anything like that.

Red Hat uses Blue Jeans for their webinars, and the OKD project uses it for the WG meetings. Not sure about internally or other projects as I don’t have experience with them nor am I an employee.

Did Red Hat use Blue Jeans before being acquired by IBM?

[agrover]

yes

[avs733]

same.

we've had a few glitches here and there but overall highly reliable. The ability to do a meeting or do an event to prevent zoom bombing type issues is wonderful.
