"The most valuable features of Cisco TelePresence are the basic standard features and the ease of use. Additionally, the configuration and integration are exemplary."
"Telepresence's most valuable feature is keeping highly paid employees, such as executives, on the ground instead of wasting time flying around the world. So if you have the right telepresence plan and form, it's not just the video cameras and the systems behind them, it's the way you lay out your meeting room.You can have multiple offices interconnecting in a single meeting, and it looks like everybody's in the same big conference room together because the telepresence yields such a fantastic amount of clarity."
"The configuration is a valuable."
"It was stable. So, I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"We have a dual screen option to enable video and content sharing."
"The SpeakerTrack feature is the most valuable feature."
"PresenterTrack cameras improve the meeting experience."
"The ease of navigation is good, as we can easily share data and screens."
"The video call feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Google Hangouts is there are no predefined or meeting durations. For example, Zoom meetings have a set duration, typically ranging from thirty minutes to an hour, whereas Google Meet meetings can continue indefinitely. Additionally, it is effortless to generate a meeting, whether it is a live session or for future use, and distribute your link to others, making these aspects appealing to me."
"It is easy to use, and we don't need to make a lot of configurations."
"I appreciated having the basic features like screen sharing and camera options."
"The solution's stability is the most valuable feature."
"We use Google Hangouts to chat and exchange some quick information."
"Google Hangouts is an excellent tool."
"The price of Cisco TelePresence overall should be reduced."
"The calling features can be improved."
"I was in touch with one of our clients and they mentioned that they would like to have a holographic video conferencing. It would be great if that feature would be added."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, with ten being expensive. It was complex with badges and certificates. Too crazy."
"The tool is expensive."
"MX800 comes only with one available DVI port. A few more HDMI ports will improve the system's capability."
"Sending documents and other things is not an option."
"It is not as stable. They can improve its stability."
"Collaboration in Google Hangouts has room for improvement compared to Microsoft Teams. On Microsoft Teams, you can share a document directly and work on that document all at once, in real-time, with other team members, which isn't the case with Google Hangouts."
"The way it works with anonymous users should be improved. That could be strengthened to let anonymous users do more."
"Maybe they should offer more security features."
"Can be improved by including a larger library of video filters and adding custom filters."
"It would be better to have a feature for recording the meetings in Google Hangouts."
"I think the version that I'm using doesn't allow recording. I guess it's more of a licensing issue than anything else, and it needs to be improved."
