Summary: Overall, Hangouts is quick and easy to use and saves valuable time, which is important for me as a small business owner. It's like texting between employees and you can create groups too.
Positive: I love Hangouts because it's so easy to use and so quick. Even the app is instant. This literally saves hours on the phone and it's also easy to scroll back to get information. Attach photos or screenshots for a coworker to see or paste a client message for clarification. It's instant and has little pings to let me know when my message has been answered.
Negative: There's not much I don't like, but I do wish that there was a search bar within Hangouts to facilitate searching for a particular strand of a conversation/ information.
