Google Hangouts Reviews

We use the solution to schedule online meetings where people can join from different locations.

The solution's most valuable features are recording, calendar, and streamlining the process by allowing us to send meeting invitations over emails.

There could be more precise instructions for beginners using the solution. Presently, it takes time for them to log in to the meeting.

The solution is stable.

It is a scalable solution. It is more suitable for smaller companies.

The solution's initial setup process is straightforward.

We access the solution through Google Workspace. It is inexpensive to use. I rate its pricing a five out of ten compared to other brands.

The solution is stable and easy to set up. It is easy to collaborate within or outside the organization. I rate it an eight out of ten.

I used it extensively during the pandemic to collaborate in remote meetings. We use Google Hangouts to chat and exchange quick information.

An area of improvement could be to make it more user-friendly.

An additional feature that I would like to be included in the next release is a recording feature.

I have been using Hangouts for two years.

It is a stable solution, and I rate it an eight out of ten.

It is easy to setup.

We didn’t deploy it. I just use it in my private way.

I use the free version.

I would recommend it to others.

Overall, I rate it an eight on a scale of one to ten.

When we don't use Microsoft Teams, we plan our meetings and have them on Google Hangouts, though only sometimes. We use Google Hangouts occasionally, for example, about eleven times.

I like that Google Hangouts works very well. You'll only have a problem using it if your internet connection isn't very good. I find it valuable that Google Hangouts is a lightweight tool that doesn't take up a lot of memory and doesn't require a lot of resources.

Collaboration in Google Hangouts has room for improvement compared to Microsoft Teams. On Microsoft Teams, you can share a document directly and work on that document all at once, in real-time, with other team members, which isn't the case with Google Hangouts. However, Google suite has Google Docs, which has a similar feature, but I haven't experimented yet.

Google Hangouts is a stable solution.

Google Hangouts is scalable if you have the paid version, where more members can join the meeting. The paid version also allows you to record meetings. The free version will undoubtedly have some limits.

I do a Google search when I have a problem with Google Hangouts, and then I follow the steps to fix that problem. I also go on YouTube to find a fix.

We use either Microsoft Teams or Google Hangouts. It depends on what the partner wants. One partner didn't want to use Skype, so it's either Google Hangouts or Microsoft Teams.

It's easy to set up meetings on Google Hangouts. You need a meeting title and a date, and then you can add a meeting description. Once you've added that meeting to your calendar, you'll get a link you can share with other users, which can be clicked to join the meeting.

Google Hangouts is a good investment. There's ROI from it.

Rating the pricing for a product, whether cheap or expensive, depends on the category, the functionality, and your budget. Google Hangouts has reasonable pricing, but I don't use the paid version because I only have a small budget, though you get more features from the paid version. I could go for the paid version if the tool's pricing is even cheaper.

I have experience with Google Hangouts.

I use different versions of the tool. For example, sometimes, I use it on my PC through its application. Other times, I use the Google Hangouts application on my mobile phone. You can also use it on a web browser, but I haven't tried that version.

I recommend Google Hangouts to others as it has features that help improve meetings.

I work for a small company with about ten Google Hangouts users. Currently, it's not necessary to increase the usage of this tool.

I recommend the solution to others because, based on my experience, it's an easy tool. Google Hangouts doesn't consume much memory compared to Microsoft Teams. You don't need to install other components to make Google Hangouts work. The tool is fast because once you access the application, it automatically redirects you to the meeting room. Google Hangouts is not resource-heavy, so I recommend it to others.

My rating for Google Hangouts is eight out of ten.

The solution is stable.

It can scale well. 

Overall, it is a good platform. there isn't really anything lacking. 

We've noticed the product works better in Chrome and doesn't work as well in Safari browsers. They should work on improving their performance there. 

I've been using the solution for about three years.

We've noticed the performance isn't as good on Safari browsers. 

Otherwise, it is very stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's very scalable. I'd rate it at a nine or ten out of ten in terms of ease of expansion. It's a Google platform It scales well. 

We have about 350 people using the solution right now. While we have plans to continue using it, I'm not sure about if there are plans to increase usage. 

I've never had the opportunity to reach out to technical support.

I've used Teams, Skype, and Zoom previously.

The setup is very easy, very straightforward. I'd rate the ease of implementation nine out of ten. It is not complex at all. 

We're on a subscription. It's a cloud implementation. I'm not sure how it is hosted, however, it is a tenant model. The deployment is fast on the cloud. 

Since it is hosted on the cloud, it requires minimal staff for deployment and maintenance. 

We pay to use the solution via a subscription model. We pay for the solution annually.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

I use the solution for my online class.

The solution's stability is the most valuable feature.

The UI has room for improvement. I have a hard time navigating through the features.

The solution is stable and the connectivity is great. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

I can't speak to the scalability. I've never experimented with expanding it. 

I'm not sure how many people are using it. We are not using it in our organization, however, I will get invites from other organizations and use it that way.

Technical support is very good. We have no issues with Google support. We would, however, like them to increase the response rate and move a bit faster. 

Positive

I'm aware of Skype, however, I don't use it myself. 

We are using Microsoft Teams. 

I'm not sure what the licensing costs are. 

I'm not sure if we are using a specific version or not. 

I'd rate the product eight out of ten. It's pretty good overall. I'd recommend the product to others who need to run video conferences and meetings. 

We use Google Hangouts for meetings and alignment.

What I like best about Google Hangouts is its integration with other Google solutions, so scheduling is easy because you have the calendar. It also has a whiteboard feature. I also like its polling feature and that it even has a captioning feature.

Google Hangouts has breakout rooms now, but not as extensive as Zoom, so that's one area for improvement.

I mentioned that I like the Google Hangouts captioning feature, but that could be improved. For example, importing Filipino-English captions here in the Philippines would be great.

I want to add a Zoom feature in Google Hangouts, where multiple people can interact with what's shown on the screen and draw and put shapes, for example.

I joined the company in 2020, and that's the time I started using Google Hangouts.

Google Hangouts is a stable solution.

So far, I'm happy with Google Hangouts in terms of scalability, but that still depends on your license because that dictates the number of users you can have in a room.

Google technical support is okay, but I used it for a different solution, Google AppSheet, and not for Google Hangouts. The team gave me a fast response for other solutions. However, for my Google AppSheet concern, it took a while to receive feedback from Google because the general support team needed to pass my question to a real expert.

Google Hangouts is installed on the web browser, so setup or installation-wise, it's okay.

I believe my company has a yearly license for Google Hangouts, but I'm not sure because this is a corporate account, so I don't have the details.

My company uses Google Workspace, which includes Google Hangouts.

In my company, more than five hundred people use Google Hangouts.

I'm happy to recommend the solution to others because it's web-based and extensive, with features for emailing, documentation, and conferencing.

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten. Our use depends on others. If somebody asks us to use Google Meet, we use it.
