join.me makes Web meetings easy

You could call it an occupational hazard but when you look at ROI every day you tend to evaluate everything in terms of value. Nucleus just published a guidebook on LogMeIn’s join.me, a solution that provides cloud-based screen sharing and meeting tools, and found great value and enthusiastic users. I’m not surprised since I’ve been using join.me for 2 years. The basic version is free for small meetings and at $13 per user per month for the pro version it’s an attractive price for enterprises. But the real value is ease of use. Unless you find working a seat belt on an airline confusing, getting up to speed with join.me should take you no more than 90 seconds (go ahead, try it now) and it works without the dreaded 2 minute download other solutions can make you endure just before a presentation. It’s an ease-of-use winner. Hyoun also found IT reduced their support costs for users (no more annoying calls) and eliminated any technology support burdens (it’s cloud-based). Good work by the LogMeIn folks in delivering a product with good features, at the right price point, with negligible training time, no annoying download, and no support costs. It’s what a cloud application should be.
