ANIS QURESHI - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick and seamless meeting setup offers a smooth experience
I sometimes use Google Hangouts for my personal meetings only I find that Google Hangouts is very quick and easy to create a meeting, which is its biggest benefit. It doesn't have a 40-minute limitation unlike Zoom. It is easy to set up as well, taking just a couple of minutes. So far, I think…
Bryant Carthan - PeerSpot reviewer
It integrates well with our learning management system, but the break-out rooms are a little rough around the edges
There are definitely times when the sound becomes a bit unclear, and latency is also an issue. If there are too many people on video simultaneously, the whole system can slow down. The group breakout rooms are still somewhat rough around the edges. I would like to see them improve that feature so we can have more interaction in our classes.

Also to keep track of all the agreements and discussions during those meetings. It worked well with our email systems and other communication services integrated into the functionalities."
"Webex Meeting's most valuable features are screen-sharing and remote access."
"The most valuable features for me are its stable connection, user-friendly interface, and screen-sharing files. Cisco's support is also very valuable."

Cons

"The UI has room for improvement."
"The stability of Google Hangouts has had some issues, such as video call delays. The stability could improve."

"It would be nice if there were more integrations available."
"There are definitely times when the sound becomes a bit unclear, and latency is also an issue. If there are too many people on video simultaneously, the whole system can slow down. The group breakout rooms are still somewhat rough around the edges. I would like to see them improve that feature so we can have more interaction in our classes."
"It could be more secure."
"The features I think can be improved are integrations with third-parties; for example, Microsoft 360 and other shared folders."
"Webex Meetings could be improved with more collaborative features and an archive of information like appointments and discussions that can be shared with everybody."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I pay $6 per user per month for Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Hangouts."
"Google Hangouts has reasonable pricing, but I don't use the paid version because I only have a small budget, though you get more features from the paid version."
"We access the solution through Google Workspace. It is inexpensive to use."
"I use the free version of the solution."
"There is no license cost."
"We are using the free version of Google Hangouts."
"This solution is available for free with the opening of a Google account."
"I think there is a need for payment for licensing, but as students, we didn't have to pay for it when we were using it. Our professors were the ones paying for it since they needed to record the sessions."
"Pricing is very competitive because it didn't change much since they were already in the market when other players came in."
