Google Hangouts Reviews

Google Meet is used mainly for internal and external meetings. In some of the brand cases, we are using Microsoft Teams, which would be once every two or three months. Otherwise, we use Google Meet for all internal and external calls.

I find the sound quality of Google Meet a valuable feature. You can join Google Meet with just your phone. You only need the meeting link to join.

There is no recording feature in Google Meet. Zoom has a recording feature and we use it for any calls that require recording.

I have been using Google Meet for at least two years. I have probably been using this tool longer than that since I joined my current organization only two months back.

I have found Google Meet to be a stable solution.

I believe Google Meet to be a scalable tool. There are about 100-200 employees in my organization who use Google Meet.

I have not personally used the support. I think the admin team is quite happy with Google Meet since they have been using it for quite a long time. I will rate the customer service and support a nine and nine and a half out of ten.

Positive

I have used Zoom previously. I switched because Google Meet is easier to use than Zoom since the latter requires an app to connect.

The setup is straightforward. You need to have a laptop and click on the meeting link. Even if it is a video call, nobody keeps their videos on. The setup is straightforward and requires nothing out of the box.

I would rate Google Meet a nine out of ten. I use the latest version of the tool, and will most likely recommend this tool depending on the use case. However, I would not recommend it for too heavy or high-intensity calls.

Our primary use case for the solution is to keep in touch with colleagues, for meetings and interviews. We deploy the solution on cloud.

Google hangouts has served as a way to facilitate conversations across people within and outside of the organization, making it very easy to connect with people and stay in contact if needed. 

The video call feature is the most valuable because it's a free video chat provider that is universal and requires minimal product knowledge. 

The solution can be improved by including a larger library of video filters and adding custom filters.

We have been using the solution for a couple of years, and we are currently using the latest version.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. The solution is great and integrates well with Google Calendar.

We primarily use the solution for meetings. 

It works really well.

It's great for meetings. The solution is helpful for videos especially.

The product is very intuitive. When you get a meeting invitation, it's very easy to just join and go.

We feel the performance is quite good.

Google offers a trial version, which I have used. 

Support could be a bit faster. 

I've used the solution for a few meetings. 

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 the solution for virtual meetings.

The solution is easy to use and navigate.

The scalability has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I give the stability a nine out of ten.

I give the scalability an eight out of ten.

We previously used Zoom and switched to Google Hangouts because it was cheaper.

The initial setup is straightforward and takes under one hour. The deployment was completed by one person. To use the solution we must set up a Gmail account and create meeting links.

The implementation was completed in-house.

There is no license cost.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

We have 15 end users and plan to gradually increase that number.

Google Hangouts is user-friendly and I recommend it to others.

Google Hangouts is being used for virtual meetings, whether that's face to face or you're presenting your screen. There's also a whiteboard where you can brainstorm on the call itself, so that's about it.

Whatever features are on offer right now on Google Hangouts, I find all of them useful. I don't have a preference, and Google Hangouts doesn't have time limitations.

Google Hangouts is pretty good as it is, so there's nothing I would like to change about it.

I would like for the platform to have a call recording feature in the free version.

Google Hangouts is a stable platform.

Google Hangouts, being a Google product, is available and scalable. The free version works well for small-sized teams that have thirty to forty people, and that's good enough for us.

The technical support team for Google Hangouts has been pretty responsive and could solve whatever challenges arise, within a day or two.

Setting up Google Hangouts is very, very easy. You just open a Gmail account to get access to all the Google tools, including Google Hangouts. It's very easy to just set up a Gmail account, and you don't have to do anything else.

We are a small team and a small organization such as ours just uses the free version of Google, so there's no cost associated with Google Hangouts at the moment.

We evaluated Zoom and Microsoft Teams. We use Google Hangouts, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams, but use Zoom more often compared to the other two platforms.

Sometimes my company uses Google Hangouts, but that's very rare. Typically, the team uses Zoom, and Google Hangouts is used once or twice a month, and that's about it. My company is an end-user, not a partner of Google.

At the moment, there's no plan of increasing the number of users of Google Hangouts.

I would rate Google Hangouts eight out of ten.

I'd recommend the platform to other people.

I use Google Hangout to showcase case studies and solutions when consulting with clients about data security and data center work. It is a convenient way to present information and have discussions with clients remotely.

Google Hangouts, including Google Hangouts, has greatly facilitated remote collaboration for me. By using it alongside Teams, I can easily connect with peers and colleagues, no matter where we are. It has made virtual presentations and meetings much more convenient, allowing us to share and present information without needing to be physically present.

The most valuable feature of Google Hangouts for me is content sharing. It is incredibly useful, especially when working remotely, as it allows me to easily share presentations, documents, or other materials with clients during meetings.

One area where I see room for improvement in Google Hangout is the voice quality during meetings. Compared to Microsoft Teams, I find the voice quality to be somewhat lacking.

I would rate the stability of Google Hangouts as a ten out of ten.

The scalability of the solution is good. I use Google Hangouts only twice per week for my projects.

Before using Google Hangouts, I used a variety of solutions depending on the client or peers I was communicating with. This included Microsoft Teams for collaboration and sometimes WhatsApp for smaller meetings or quick conversations with up to four or five people.

I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a nine out of ten.

Before choosing Google Hangouts, I evaluated other options like Skype and Zoom. I have used Skype extensively in the past, and Zoom was another important collaboration tool used in my work life.

I have encountered some audio quality issues with Google Hangouts, but not video quality issues. Video quality problems usually stem from network instability rather than an issue with Google Hangouts itself.

For someone considering using Google Hangouts in a professional environment, I would suggest they stick with platforms they're already comfortable with, like Skype or Microsoft Teams. However, for everyday communication needs outside of enterprise settings, Google Hangout could be suitable, but for larger-scale meetings, I would recommend considering options like Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

Overall, I would rate Google Hangouts as a nine out of 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.

We primarily use the solution in order to conduct virtual meetings. 

It's easy to record a meeting. This is a quite useful feature for us.

The product offers a companion mode, which is helpful.

It's quite simple to set up. 

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.
