Overall Satisfaction with Google Hangouts (Classic)
Google Hangouts was used across our organization, both for internal meeting purposes, as well as client-facing calls. It was a quick and easy solution (especially since our email is powered by Gmail) that allowed us to quickly connect with audio and video conferencing, with very few cases of technical issues.
- Audio Connection
- Video Connection
- Ability to quickly invite others
- Ability to Chat
- Tile layout for headshots used to be a tricky item
- I don't believe it had a recording capability in years past
- Conversations from chat were not archived / emailed to host
- Chat
- Video Connection
- VOIP
- Reduced cost in other software, since we use the Google Product Suite
- Increased efficiency in connecting quickly
- Increased efficiency in scheduling client meetings
In terms of simplicity and ease of use, Google Hangouts is wonderful compared to some of the competitive products listed above. I do think that each have their own benefits:
- some companies do not allow for Google's suite of products (like Hangouts) to be utilized
- some competitive products do archive conversations
- some competitive products allow for easier recording / sharing
- some competitive products allow for group and individual chat
- some competitive products allow for information to be housed internally
