What advice do you have for others considering Google Hangouts?

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.

The product is more beneficial for convenience and personal use and not for a professional environment. Google Hangouts is beneficial in providing stability during communication. For personal use, Google Hangouts is convenient to use. Google Hangouts can be used to connect with family and friends, and for some of the online classes. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I integrate Google Hangouts into my workflow for external client meetings or presentations by using my official email ID in Google Workspace, through which I can send meeting links and make use of the calendar invite feature to ensure that the details of the meeting are automatically integrated with Google Hangouts. I just create a meeting link through the calendar invite, and then I use it. Speaking about whether Google Hangouts integration with other Google services has added any value to my user experience, I would say that value addition doesn't come from Google Hangouts alone. When I want to share some documents or spreadsheets, it is easy to invite those who have a Gmail account with Google Hangouts. I haven't experienced any significant issues with connectivity or quality during the calls on Google Hangouts. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I recommend Google Hangouts and rate it a seven out of ten. I advise others to have a clear idea of their business use cases before they deploy the product.

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 would recommend this solution to other users. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

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.

The company I'm working for is a big Google user, so we use Google Hangouts, and we share Google sheets, Google docs, etc. We use different Google solutions for work. I can't think of any pain points in Google Hangouts that would make me say: "I wish it had this capability, or not." I do so many virtual meetings, and I have to think if it's going to be on Zoom, or if it's going to be on Google Hangouts, e.g. what are we using for this meeting, because we have different clients, so every once in a while, we get called into someone else's meeting, but internally, we use Google Hangouts. I'm in very much in favor of Dev Ops, e.g. I like to see those updates come, but I have no problems with updates for this platform, because Google is normally doing something, or fixing a problem, or providing an enhancement, etc. The key is I manage when I apply updates, so it's not a problem for me. For some people, it can be a problem, but the updates don't bother me. I managed a Dev Ops environment, so we were putting out updates regularly, so we don't surprise people too often. I have no information on the pricing of Google Hangouts, because I was not involved in that aspect. My advice to others looking into implementing this platform is that we've had good success with it. I have no issues. It's worked for us, and we keep using it. We're not looking at anything else, so that for me, says it all. I'm giving Google Hangouts a rating of eight out of ten, as I rarely give nines or tens.

I have some experience with Zoom, but not so much. We mainly use Google Hangouts, Google Meet, and Slack. We have several thousand users of Google Hangouts in the company, and we'll probably increase usage for it. I've never contacted technical support for this product, e.g. currently we have no issues with it. I'm not recommending Google Hangouts to others. I'm recommending Slack instead. I'm unsure, but we're probably paying yearly for Google Hangouts. I'm rating Google Hangouts a seven out of ten.

In terms of Webex and potentially losing some quality having a good meeting often entails muting everyone except the speaker and then switching from one speaker to another. Because whenever there is an open forum, or there is a larger audience, and I believe the number is usually around 16, your chances of having a know-it-all who has something to say about everything skyrocket. Being able to mute somebody, would be very valuable. Anybody who needs that many people and you need professional services like that, it's time to start paying the subscription and support the product. If they want to have control of the venue, the only way to have control of the venue is with the paid version. It pays for itself. Having a meeting go off the rails is an embarrassment. Webex is probably one of my only 10s, but I am really starting to enjoy Microsoft Teams. It has the features that I need. It's built into Windows. I get it as part of my subscription to Microsoft Office from the company. I have only had one issue where I made a mistake. There's a little rule that you should have. If it's your meeting, it needs to be your meeting, it should be your tool choice. if it's your meeting, you should be the one to schedule it, even if it's very difficult, the project manager with the client wants to host the meeting himself. For example, I had a very interesting little experience, only a few weeks ago, where it was my meeting, but the project manager from the client set up the meeting. I did not know this, but he had me muted. When I was responding to people, it was as if nobody was listening to me. I didn't know what was going on. Then, after about 15, or 20 minutes, the project manager said, "are you going to respond to this?" And I said, "Is anybody listening to me?" I've answered these questions I don't know how many times. One of the people on the call called me up, not even 15, 20 minutes ago, and said, "by the way that meeting you were in yesterday, you were muted." I would recommend if it's your meeting, it's got to be your tool. It's PAM, and PAM Solutions are notoriously politically fraught by those who want to have their environment secured versus those that like things the way they are, and we had one of those. I would recommend using Google Chat. It was nothing out of the ordinary in comparison to others. I would rate Google Hangouts a seven out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others. My children at school use it all the time at school. I rate Google Hangouts a ten out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Google Hangouts a ten out of ten.

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

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.

My advice for anybody who is looking to start using Google Hangouts is that it is plug-and-play, and comes free with Google Suite. The minute you have a Google account, it's already there. It is easy to use and works right out of the box. Having more than 100 people in a meeting is pretty good. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

My advice to anybody who is considering this solution is not to try anything else if you are already using Google Suite as your collaborative tool in the company. Basically, if you are using G-Suite then you should be using Google Hangouts because it works. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I would rate it a six out of ten. The security is already there but there should be more ability to share features. The other feature they should include is Zoom control; if one colleague wants to give control to another, there can be two, three or four sharing their presentations.

I would give this solution a perfect score if they could tweak some of the issues they have such as the messaging. Other than that, I think it's a great product. For now, I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The one piece of advice I would is to be prepared regarding who else is going to use Hangouts outside of your organization. If you want people to be able to use a phone number, you have to pay for a whole different license with Google, your whole Google license has to be upgraded. Granted it has lots of other features. The dial-in feature to Hangouts is only accessible in the business class of G suite. If it's only your company that is going to use it, then you're great at the regular license level. But if you think you're going to have people who are required to dial in, then you need to be prepared to pay more. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Most of the companies are going to Microsoft products but Google is easier to use. Google is a good product but it'll be better if they fix some videoconference issues. With Microsoft, you can integrate all of your devices. With Logitech and other companies, you can connect it directly through the cloud and you can use it directly, no need to go for another supplier. But with Google, you need to go with another supplier. I would rate it an eight out of ten. In the next release, I would like the ability to videoconference with a connectivity plugin.

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.
