Business-Hangouts is a highly interactive platform for online seminars and online meetings, and I highly recommend them.
It facilitates a more effective and efficient communication. You can respond to an email through chat, which allows you to have real communication in real time and improve your productivity and that of your work group
Pros
It allows holding meetings online in all parts of the world, under the same event.
It provides online support that helps you solve any problem you may have.
It allows you to customize your videoconferences to the style that you have in your company, being a low cost tool with respect to skills, so it is very useful when you hold meetings online.
Cons
It works best when integrated into the Google Suite.
I do not see the ability to integrate with different video conferencing platforms.
You must have a very good online connection to carry out meetings in lines and videoconferences in optimal conditions.

Pros
I love Business Hangouts enables me to connect with my colleagues and clients even I'm away from the office. We can easily have a conference meeting by using this application.
Cons
I dislike the fact that it's an online platform, we need internet connection for every operation. Sometimes our clients doesn't have a faster internet connection and it's very unproductive.

Great tool for the collaboration of a whole team
Reviewed on 2018/02/27
Pros
I loved everything about Business Hangouts at this time. It has solved my big problem of communication with my colleagues or even distributors. When I need them all together, Business Hangouts becomes the only solution. The individual communication was good. But this software has given me the possibility to shorten the duration of the instruction with all of them. Also, there is no requirement to share my cell phone number and that is quite comfortable.
Cons
The biggest problem we found was the number of employees when we started using it. Our staff was not big enough to make use of this program regularly for the cost. However, as we grew as a company we were able to include more users and since then it has been totally profitable for us.

When I need to share my screen with a remote member of my team, we are connected in seconds. We've successfully had meetings with dozens of remote participants. We did hit a limit once, with too many remote participants.
Pros
My team uses Business Hangouts for screen sharing, video calls and audio calls. It does what we need it to do. We do audio calls via phone and over the internet with a headset. Audio quality is perfect when using USB headset. Video quality is good to great.
Cons
During a screen share, the user interface requires too many mouse clicks to get different layouts. Actually that is the case for many of the options. However, nobody else on my team has a problem with the user interface.

Pros
My team and I use Google Hangouts every day. We love the seamless integration with Google Calendar, and how easy it is to control bandwidth.
Cons
I some times have issues with Hangouts using the connect audio, mic and camera connections. I can't seem to understand the logic behind why it selects the right connections one time, but not the others.

Hangouts is excellent for video conferencing with multiple users.
Pros
I use Hangouts Business to stay connected with the most trusted colleagues with whom I form a team, because this tool allows me to upload documents, keep me connected and hold work meetings even in the distance because hangouts allow video conferences with up to 10 people time.
Cons
Hangouts is still not as popular a tool as other programs are, so not all people use Hangouts and this can be a limitation.

The biggest benefit is that we have achieved videoconferences in a simple way, inexperienced users connected easily.
Pros
I like that it is an application that does not require an installation of programs to work. It is capable of working with all the tools it has from Chrome, just by installing the add-on. It is simple to use and versatile. It integrates with the other google applications, which allows us to take advantage of sharing resources and files. Making a meeting is very fast, when I compare it with applications like Gotomeeting. It is easy to integrate several people in the same conference, the application handles them very well and in a simple way. It uses little network resource, manages bandwidth well. I like that when we have configured this application in our firewall, we find it as an object without problems.
Cons
I've noticed that it works much better when it's integrated into the Google platform. The fact of not having a desktop client puts us at a disadvantage when we want to teach inexperienced and elderly users how to use it. I think the test time is short, it should be at least 30 days. It is not used by many of the companies with which we interact. I do not see the ability to integrate with different videoconferencing platforms.

I started using Business-Hangouts shortly after it became available in 2013 and have continued to use it daily since then. It contains a feature set that allows maximum customization with minimum work.
The learning curve can be as simple or as steep as you like. Original setup is quick and easy., but like any precision tool, it takes time to learn all the available options and use them for maximum impact. There are a great many features that can be set in various ways to achieve exactly what you want.
Better than the software itself is the support one receives. Customer service is unmatched in the industry. Anyone looking for webinar software should seriously take a look at BUsiness-Hangouts

Pros
I had no issues understanding and using the virtual communication tool. I kind of prefer it over zoom. It isn't as popular right now but I will give it some time.
Cons
I was finding difficulty in getting my older staff accustomed to the app. I am not sure if they were used to the zoom app or if they really didn't try.
