Olivier Bourdon - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Developer at a computer software company with 1-10 employees

We primarily use the solution for virtual meetings. We have a daily meeting each and every morning and that’s where we share where we are in the project and what we are developing, the issues we are experiencing and everything. Sometimes we also run remote interviews for people who would like to join our company. That's basically it.

Sukanya Bharati - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Analyst at ProdZen

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we used Google Meet to facilitate interaction between students and teachers. The product was good, as everyone could turn on their cameras and study simultaneously while listening to the teacher. Additionally, now I also use it to meet with friends who live far away, making it really convenient. Moreover, I think that it now has a whiteboard option, which is helpful for individuals who need to write something on a whiteboard. Finally, this tool is also useful for conducting general meetings when the need arises.

Google Meet is used mainly for internal and external meetings. In some of the brand cases, we are using Microsoft Teams, which would be once every two or three months. Otherwise, we use Google Meet for all internal and external calls.

BT
IT Manager at a transportation company with 501-1,000 employees

We're a very distributed environment. We are a group of trucking companies and we're spread out across Western Canada. We've got about 20 offices with about 250 people right across 20 offices and communicating with each other is very important and so we use Google Hangouts. It provides inter-company communication, primarily for meetings and things like that. It has reduced cell phone bills and all those sorts of things.

FA
IT Assistant at Hotel 2 Fevrier

We have a group of people that uses Google Hangouts. We chose Google Hangouts because most of the users are on Google and we don't want to use WhatsApp. We publish things like documents for all the members who are on it. I can use WhatsApp, but I prefer Google Hangouts because with Google Hangouts we can directly share our screen. If you have two or three on Google Hangouts directly, someone can share their screen, and you can see what he's doing.
