Overall Satisfaction with Google Hangouts

Hangouts is being used in several departments of the company and the offices located in the other states of the country, helps us to keep in touch at the time we want, since we can make video calls or just comment through a chat.
  • I can make video calls of up to 10 people at the same time.
  • You can connect both from the computer and from your cell phone.
  • It has a series of emoticons and GIF animations to share with your friends.
  • It is possible to send voice messages, videos and audios.
  • you can save conversations in the cloud.
  • It is not possible to place your profile as Invisible, compared to Google Talk.
  • It is only for Android devices and also with iOS. For example, WhatsApp is in many operating systems.
  • It is not possible to know if the message was received by the recipient, or if it even came from our cell phone, in comparison with the other more well-known services.
  • It has been beneficial since we reduce expenses when mobilizing.
  • We reduce the expenses in personnel transfer since we hold the meetings remotely.
  • With hangouts you can provide webinar services and reduce your business expenses.
It is a free tool that is used with your Gmail mail, the video conferences are of quality, we can share several important documents, You can use other channels at the same time to communicate, Really the hangouts are entering strongly in the tight competition of communication online, and because there are more and more free benefits that many companies offered as paid features. In this online world, if you do not perfect your products or services, you literally die.
This tool of communication of Google, is beneficial for those small companies since it does not have a high cost and to be a good start of communication is excellent, it is not necessary to have a telephone number to communicate, you can share our location in real time, The bad thing about this application is that it does not allow you to send voice messages like other similar applications.
