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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The installation part of the product is easy since one generally needs to use a browser to use the product."
"I find that Google Hangouts is very quick and easy to create a meeting, which is its biggest benefit."
"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."
"We use Google Hangouts to chat and exchange some quick information."
"Google Hangouts is user-friendly. It supports low internet bandwidth."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"I think that Google Meet allows for easy interaction and has additional features, such as background blurring, among others."
"Google Meet has excellent audio quality, good images, and a robust set of features."
"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."
"Installation was straightforward."
"We appreciate how Webex integrates with our system. When an employee completes a course, Webex documents it and updates the employee's training records."
"During meetings, the feature of closed captioning, scripting, and recording was convenient for keeping minutes and making available the information discussed to review meeting minutes. 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."
"It made it simple for users to join, work together, and share screens."
 

Cons

"Google Meet could be more secure."
"The solution could integrate more automation into the product."
"I would like to see more focus on features for interacting with the participants in a group chat, such as screen sharing."
"Google Hangouts has breakout rooms now, but not as extensive as Zoom, so that's one area for improvement. I mentioned that I like the Google Hangouts captioning feature, but that could be improved. For example, importing Filipino-English captions here in the Philippines would be great."
"Google Hangouts could work on making the service better for slow connections."
"There is no delete option for messages which could be an added feature in a future release."
"I would like for the platform to have a call recording feature in the free version."
"Not a ten because there's room for improvement. Sometimes there is disconnectivity."
"Webex Meetings could be improved with more collaborative features and an archive of information like appointments and discussions that can be shared with everybody."
"The features I think can be improved are integrations with third-parties; for example, Microsoft 360 and other shared folders."
"It could be more secure."
"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 would be nice if there were more integrations available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are a small team and a small organization such as ours just uses the free version of Google, so there's no cost associated with Google Hangouts at the moment."
"I pay $6 per user per month for Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Hangouts."
"I don't need to buy Google Hangouts separately because it comes free with Google Workspace, and it is also available for my personal Gmail ID."
"This solution is available for free with the opening of a Google account."
"There is no license cost."
"I believe my company has a yearly license for Google Hangouts, but I'm not sure because this is a corporate account, so I don't have the details."
"There is a need to make certain payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product and some other tools that are included in the suite offered by Google. Google Hangouts alone as a product is available for free."
"For individual use, there's no license requirement as such. For storage or some other purposes, if I go beyond 15 GB, then I need to buy something."
"Pricing is very competitive because it didn't change much since they were already in the market when other players came in."
