Google Meet, formerly Hangouts Meet, replaces the former Google Hangouts as the company's G Suite integrated web conferencing tool, allowing users to join meetings directly from a Calendar event or email invite from a computer, phone, or conference room. G Suite's Enterprise edition also creates a dial-in phone number for each meeting, as an additional convenience.

Considered Both Products
FreeConferenceCall.com
Chose FreeConferenceCall.com
FreeConferenceCall.com is much cheaper than Zoom overall and on a per-user count. We also believe the ease of use is more beneficial with FreeConferenceCall vs. Zoom. It is easier to set up than Zoom and offers quicker support. Being the admin of the call is also super easy.
Chose FreeConferenceCall.com
I chose FreeConferenceCall.com because it gave me exactly what I needed: an inexpensive platform to conduct a group prayer call. This service was easy to set up, easy to use, and until recently, free. I did not research any other services extensively because …
Chose FreeConferenceCall.com
So this doesn't have the polish that say Zoom or Teams has, but for free, you can't complain. The real big unknown is anything to do with security where a product like Teams is great. Zoom and Teams seem to have become standard that everyone has installed and is familiar …
Chose FreeConferenceCall.com
We used FreeConferenceCall.com for over 10 years so can't recall what else we may have used or reviewed.
Chose FreeConferenceCall.com
The biggest plus with FreeConferenceCall.com is that you don't get dropped. Users can easily call in with the same number each time. There is rarely a time when you can't get a call started. And above all else there is no charge.
Chose FreeConferenceCall.com
FreeConferenceCall is a GREAT option for cost-conscious entrepreneurs - especially when you're starting out.
Chose FreeConferenceCall.com
I've used Zoom when other people have selected the platform for video conferences. I've never installed and set it up but as a user calling in, I always thought it seemed a little clunky. I know it's become the standard, but I was never wow-ed by it. FreeConferenceCall.com …
Chose FreeConferenceCall.com
We have an internal telephony system, which we use for internal conference calling. We use freeconferencecall.com for calls with multiple outside parties, so that they can call in at their convenience. We have not used alternatives to freeconferencecall.com that would also …
Chose FreeConferenceCall.com
We actually ultimately prefer UberConference. It allowed for online interfacing for the call organizer and provided a more secure system.
Google Meet
Chose Google Meet
Slack is not capable of handling large attendees so we are using Google Meet when number of attendees are higher.
Chose Google Meet
It stands out because of its user friendly interface which is quite intuitive and simple to use and its integration with Google work space. Unlike Zoom which comes up with more advanced webinar features. Meet provides ease of use and accessibility. As compared to Microsoft …
Chose Google Meet
Zoom can be defined as a much easier , advanced and accessible version of the Google meet with multiple features such as selective chat enable , polls , emoticons , real time liveboard and calendly integration as well
Chose Google Meet
Because Meet is simple to use, you use it with weaker internet, you can quickly integrate it with your schedule and maintain a controlled meeting frequency. If you use G-suit as a whole, you have more control and integration of the tools, which makes it a lot easier, but …
Chose Google Meet
1) Comparitavely Google meet uses less amount of internet (or mobile data) as compared To Cisco Webex is the main reason for using Google Meet . 2) Moreover, participants need not to ask for permission to join even if they have left the call . They can simply do the same in …
Chose Google Meet
Google Meet provides good facilities at many situations than any other software.
Chose Google Meet

We haven't actually selected Google Meet as a replacement for the others - rather each has its own niche.
Chose Google Meet
I prefer Zoom, but Google Meet is a good alternative. Zoom is more secure and easier to manage. Zoom has more customization and I trust it more, as too many Google apps get changed without you knowing.
Chose Google Meet
Each product has its own pros and cons for example we cannot use the previously mentioned product for quick meetings because it's a bit complicated than Google hangout means so we tend to rely on each product depending on the scenario/condition that we will be facing, for …
Chose Google Meet
If I was to choose, I would go for MS Teams or Skype as it helps me to keep minutes or other notes and get back to them whenever I need. I am not a huge fan of Zoom however depends on how the organiser sets it up it allows downloading chat/minutes that I personally find very …
Chose Google Meet
Easy to use
Integration with calendar and google account
Chose Google Meet
At the time we stayed with Google Hangouts Meet as it was already integrated into our main email delivery.
Chose Google Meet
Google Meet has almost all the same features that other applications offer, basically you dot need to worry about missing features since you're at the same level. Google meet has a modern design, light application with a very easy UI.
Chose Google Meet
Google Meet stands out among other similar products in many ways, but the one way it particularly outshines all of them is the unlimited time period.
Chose Google Meet
The decision was easy to make, although Google Hangouts Meet, Skype and Zoom met the initial objective, we were inclined to choose Google Hangouts Meet because it not only does a much better job, it is easy to use, it's secure, and guarantees confidentiality in all connections, …
Chose Google Meet
Google Meet is my all-time favorite thanks to its many features and the fact that it is affordable. The software also integrates well with other Google products.
Chose Google Meet
I feel all the other options have a huge list of features. Some of them support host permission sharing, large audience, whiteboards, anonymous participants etc. But the whole point of using Google Meet is the ease of access. With no installation required, it covers almost all …
Chose Google Meet
Webex Meetings has a very old UI and also has connectivity issues most of the time. Google Hangouts Meet is free of cost and on the other hand, Webex meetings are paid and do not offer much in return. Further, it also does not have such features as google hangouts meet.
Chose Google Meet
Well we switched from Zoom because of paying issue. While Google Hangouts Meet is almost free there zoom needs extra charge to long meetings. And Zoom couldn’t meet up our common interests while meeting with foreign clients always. Performing Zoom meetings with phone isn’t …
Chose Google Meet
The price will always stand out, as it's cheaper than the other software out there for small meetings (less than 100 participants).
The connection to the servers is great as expected
The features are not really the best of Google Hangouts Meet for teaching kinesthetic learners, …
Chose Google Meet
To maintain in-depth and frequent communication, we use Google Hangouts Meet because the conversation is stable and flexible. We can achieve our goals through effective communication; communication with suppliers and purchasers is significant.
Chose Google Meet
The benefit for google hangouts meet is its seamless integration with Gmail and since most of the users have a Gmail account, it becomes a fast and reliable experience. Nevertheless, other tools have a better UI and feature list as compared to google hangouts meet. The UI for …
Chose Google Meet
Easy access to the Google Hangouts Meet service makes all the difference. Compared to other video calling services, Google Hangouts Meet is much more intuitive and easy for users to access. The only negative point is the fact that we are unable to record the meetings, which …

I think that FreeConferenceCall.com is well suited for anyone, really. They do a great job at providing options for all types of scenarios-from basic phone calls to now offering the video conference. The only time I think that it might not be as advantageous to use is when there are only 2 people that are needing to connect-in that case it's just as easy to direct dial

Google Meet was a perfect video conferencing solution for us during our training sessions. The only problems encountered were due to weak signals, which sometimes required us to turn off our video. All features worked very well in tying together a team across four different time zones. I was very impressed with the tool's performance

Pros
  • Clear calls, it is easy to hear no matter how many participants are on the call.
  • Does not kick participants off, we have up to 40 people on the call and it works fine.
  • Easy to remember, the phone number and code is the same so it is easy for staff to recall.
  • No busy signals, we can always get through to set up call.
Read full review
  • First off, the quality of the call is pretty good, especially when all of us are working remotely.
  • We can easily schedule our meeting in Google Calendar.
  • Sending an invitation link is easy.
  • What makes Google Meet stand out from other video conferencing tools is that we can use it for an unlimited time, even if we use the free account.

Cons
  • Recently callers cannot get onto the call
  • Users on the call get bumped off
  • Non-transparent policy about why problems are occurring. If FreeConferenceCall.com can't reliably provide free service, just tell me that rather than blaming it on a law that changed and local carriers causing the problems. The real problem is that the law did recently change, which allowed companies like FreeConferenceCall.com to collect a revenue share for all calls placed through certain hubs--even free calls. This loophole was removed recently, and I believe the service issues I've been experiencing are being used to extort users to buy a paid service in order to receive trouble-free service.
  • I found customer service representatives rude and dismissive

  • Meet as it comes doesn't have a great way to handle large meetings.
  • I don't like the way they hide the mute button. It's a disruptive view to mute/unmute.
  • Chat box is the only way to document collaborations within the meeting.

Google Hangouts Meet is easy to use and easy to access. I've experienced very few technical issues compared to other similar software options. It's a little less formal than Microsoft Teams but makes it easy to access other google items such as google drive and google docs. Meeting in hangout gives you an easy-to-use hub to not only meet for planning or team-building purposes but to easily share information that can help you with your meeting goals.

Google Meet is very easy and simple to use. I can schedule a meeting right on my calendar - it literally takes a few seconds. There is no additional app I have to open to schedule anything. Guests can click on the link easily to join any meetings. 10/10!

Support Rating
I haven't had the need to call for any support at all yet for FreeConferenceCall.com. It has just worked splendidly for me. That being said, when I first downloaded it and got started using it there was a wizard which made every section and button very clear on what it does. It was easy to get started by following the wizard. I imagine then that their customer service will be just as good.

Google does a great job of providing tech support for this product, as it does many others. Similarly, Google has FAQs that cover a large amount of issues faced by users. Problems have not persisted in our use of this product. Problems are resolved quickly and easily, with or without personal Google support.

The main positive feature in Google Meet over Zoom to me is the fact that Google meet can be seamlessly deployed in the browser with its full functionality. Unlike Zoom for which you need to download an extra application to use. This consequently makes workflow smooth when transitioning between something like emails and taking part in a meeting.

Return on Investment
  • Saved time on having to meet sales reps in person.
  • Goal setting and objectives are much clearer when being able to talk with someone when seeing them. Not having to correct mistakes or clarify things later on because things "weren't clear" isn't much of an issue when a video conference is used.
  • Being able to utilize a free option is the ultimate ROI - it costs nothing!

  • Negative: on each webinar someone from our team had to write manually the people that were participating and after that matching it with the registered people list. We wasted time. It could be easily resolved by adding the export list feature
  • Positive: Collaboration and internal meetings. Calendar integration helps us save time.
