    Had I completed this review a couple years ago, I would have given a rating of 9 or 10 as Hangouts (Classic) is an excellent product. However, now that Google Chat has succeeded Hangouts, I would not recommend that any new users begin using it where other more modern options are available. Android users who want an internet based instant messaging that also supports calling and video calling could benefit from using Hangouts (Classic) as Google Chat requires the user to also have Google Meet installed to make video calls and there is no voice only calling option.

    MobaXTerm shines when executing commands for large numbers of Network appliances like Switches or routers. As network Engineers, when managing an extensive infrastructure, we need tools to reduce time and work. MobaXterm Split and MultiExec features helped me push configuration changes for more than 100 Switches within a few hours.

    Cons

    • I would like to see improved video support, so that saved videos can be sent back and forth via Hangouts more easily, without having to start a separate meet chat
    • More pronounced notifications of messages would be helpful; pop up notifications are good, but once there is one, additional messages do not pop up
    • Custom muting times would be great, so that if I am in a 90 minute Zoom meeting, I can set it for that time; right now, it is 1 hour or 2 hours. Easy to forget.

    • password manager is a pain to get to
    • when I sign out of an RDP session, the tab should close on its own. If I lose connection, then the Reconnect option can be shown
    • It should be able to update on its own, not through download and basically a reinstall

    The tool is almost self-implemented. It is likely to be available in every pc or mobile device a user or potential user might have, and all you need to do is adding the company's account and you are done. Once you are setted up, you have almost all actual communication methods available in one tool

    It's very easy for any IT administrator to use, it's highly customizable and you can download it free for personal use. It supports every protocol you can think of, has built in power shell and allows for drag and drop of SFTP file browser. I recommend this tool for any IT professional.

    Google Hangouts works great and does not require a lot of work to troubleshoot. Everything is simple and easy to use. Google provides all of the tools that one requires to utilize Google Hangouts and any information can be found in the built-in help tools. There is also a forum for users to report issues and typically, Google responds well and will try to work out any issues.

    Google is the white cotton socks of the conferencing world. It’s a great ad-hoc tool, but not too much more. If you are not looking to spend money or operate completely on WiFi (without data charges), it’s a great free option as well. The benefit of being free and open is also the liability. It doesn’t have a great integration story with other corporate tools, but [it doesn’t have to] if you aren’t looking for that. All in all, it’s as helpful and ubiquitous as a public payphone…without the pay…and with a video capability.

    The list is not working, but comparing is not so great to other. The great best think of MobaXTerm is the unifing of the various program into one. The organization by folders, the storing of keys, the licence managemnt for teams. I liked much and was a plus it have some server utilities.

    • I believe it was part of the google suite that was purchased. It was worth the cost as it was cheaper. I believe it is now free, but also becoming deprecated. It is much better to use Teams, Discord, Telegram, etc. Google does not provide enough support or features to make using hangouts worth it these days.
