Overall Satisfaction with Google Hangouts (Classic)
We primarily use Google Hangouts for internal meetings. We use gmail as our email service, so google hangouts integrates easily into our calendar and other workflows. It is quick and easy to jump on a hangout. Also great for small to mid-size team meetings where you might need multiple people to be able to share their screens at various times throughout the meeting.
- Product integration into workflows
- easy of use
- Tools (screen-share, breakout groups, whiteboard)
- Can be a little glitchy
- Ability to share asset (presentations) without sharing your whole screen
- better/more filter options
- Positive: Easy of use so frequently used
- Positive: part of g-suite bundle
- Negative: certain needs (webinars, large group meetings) don't function well in hangouts so other tools needed ($)
Google Hangouts integrates into our current workflows well (we use g-suite) and is quite user friendly. It is great for small to mid-size internal team meetings. It is also good for informal client meeting. There are other cases where other tools are needed/superior for the use-case (with larger meetings hangouts is glitchy, so zoom is preferred; webinar style meetings, GoTo Webinar is preferred, etc.)
