Google Hangouts Reviews

Its ease of use is most valuable. It is just a click, and you're in the system. 

It is not as stable. They can improve its stability.

I have been using it for probably a couple of years.

It is not as stable.

We have issues when we have multiple users. That's why we use Zoom. If we got a big meeting, we use Zoom.

We have our own support team that manages it, so I let them worry about it.

We use Google Meets for internal meetings, but we use Zoom for client-facing meetings. 

I've used Microsoft teams. It used to be Skype, and now, it is probably Microsoft Teams.

I would advise others to know the purpose of the tool. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

The primary use cases of this solution are virtual meetings with colleagues and video conferencing with friends.

The most valuable features are that you don't have to create a separate account, it's easy to use, and you don't have to enter an ID or password to start video conferencing. This is because it is already in your Google account.

Connectivity and voice clarity is good. If I had to rate it out of ten, I would give it an eight. However, there were times when I used Google Hangouts on my phone and the voice quality was bad.

The back button functionality needs to be improved. When you hit the back button, you get out of the meeting. What should happen if you are in a meeting and you press the back button is that you would still be in the meeting but you would be able to see the other available features of your phone or use other apps. With Zoom, you are able to do those things.

They don't have a way to schedule a meeting as you with other solutions. If you compare it to Zoom, in that product you can schedule a meeting and send a link to others. The option it provides is to start a meeting then to invite or add. If you don't know their Gmail address then you can't invite them to join.

Google Hangouts restricts you to those with a Gmail account.

It's not easy to share. If you are with Zoom there is not share or deny, you send a link and they will be able to join you. It's made to be simple.

Once Google Hangouts is launched you are able to start meetings. Your contacts are all listed but only Google Hangouts contacts are available. If someone does not have Google Hangouts then there is no way to invite them to the meetings.

The UI is good, but the transaction needs improvement. The flow from jumping from one screen to another is a bit complicated.

I used Google Hangouts for approximately two months.

I have never contacted technical support.

I stopped using Google Hangouts about a month ago. I now use Zoom or Google Meet for video conferencing. Google Hangouts is complicated and there are many solutions on the market that are more simplified, which is the reason I stopped using it.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's easy and fast. Depending on your internet speed, it only takes a few minutes.

I would not recommend this solution. They have Google Meets, which does the same as Google Hangouts and it has more features. I would advise them to use Google Meets instead.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for meetings. I can meet with people virtually with it. 

It's very user-friendly.

The solution scales well.

I have found the product to be stable. 

The initial setup is simple. 

The security should be improved. They could be better at it. Maybe they should offer more security features.

I've used the solution for five or six years. It's been a while at this point. 

The product is stable and reliable. I haven't had issues with bugs or glitches. the performance is good. 

The product can scale well. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

I'm not sure exactly how many people use it in the organization, however, it is available to everybody.

We did not previously use a different solution previously.

The initial setup was very simple and very straightforward. It was not overly complex or difficult.

To deploy the product, you just have the Gmail account, and then it is in there. It's another functionality on the Gmail G-Suite.

I would recommend the solution to others.

I'd rate the product a nine out of ten. I've been pretty satisfied with its capabilities overall. 

We have been using Google Hangouts for video conferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Google Hangouts is very quick and easy to use, and the quality is very good.

I would like to have a whiteboard feature, where I can draw a sketch or diagram and show it to the people in the meeting.

Support for recording meetings would be helpful.

We have been using Google Hangouts for about three months.

We have been using this solution approximately twice a week and it has been very stable.

Google Hangouts is a scalable system. We have had meetings that include at least ten members and it has been fine.

I have not been in contact with Google's technical support.

Prior to Google Hangouts, I have used Cisco Webex for web conferencing and meetings. I found that the voice and image are much more clear in Hangouts, compared to Webex. In fact, I think that the biggest difference between them is that the voice in Google Hangouts is better.

This solution is quite easy to set up. You can create a meeting using the calendar and it starts working. It can be started in a matter of seconds.

We are users of Google G-Suite, so we did not consider other options.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use it for online classes.

Google Meet has excellent audio quality, good images, and a robust set of features.

I believe the services meet my requirements adequately, and I am satisfied. However, there is not a particular one that stands out as exceptional.

As someone who is not very familiar with technology, I find it acceptable. I prefer to wait and see what they will come up with in the future.

However, I notice that they keep introducing new features that are better than the previous ones.

I use it every day.

I have not had any issues with the stability of Google Meet.

In my opinion, it is a scalable product.

I often suggest using Google Meet.

I would rate Google Hangouts a nine out of ten.

The screen-sharing feature is the most valuable feature. 

I have been using Google Hangouts for one year. 

I haven't had any problems with stability. 

It is definitely scalable. 

I haven't needed to contact customer support because there haven't been any problems. 

Google Hangouts is wonderful in order to communicate with the rest of the world. 

I would rate Google Hangouts an eight out of ten. Not a ten because there's room for improvement. Sometimes there is disconnectivity.
