Overall Satisfaction with Google Hangouts (Classic)

[Google Hangouts (Classic)] is used as the main form of communication between coworkers. It reduced the use of emails for short and quick communication between 2 people or small groups.
  • Ease of use
  • Ability to create groups
  • File sharing systems
  • Ability to use apps and web based
  • It could use more integration with calendar
  • Better notification setting for web based solution
  • Should allow to have the ability to withdraw messages
  • File Sharing
  • Instant messaging
  • Smart phone app
  • Improved internal communications
  • Reduced unnecessary emailing
  • Reduced response wait time
Google hangouts (Classic), is a instant message solution with not much more to add, it lacks the screen sharing features, the broad app integration, and the video and audio conferencing of this software.
As a basic instant messaging communication tool it does what it promises but if the plan is to obtain a robust solution with diverse features of communication, and plenty of customization and integration options then it is not the way to go.
