Thoughts on Skype and Hangouts
I have used Skype in the past but moved away from using it since cell-phoning and texting has gotten so popular and is now included in many cellphone plans. Texting and voice calls lack something compared to being able to see the person you're talking too, therefore my renewed interest in Skype, especially now that I have a Surface Pro 3.
As I said, I've used both Skype and Hangouts, both in Firefox and Chrome browsers, but I really like the simplicity of Skype. It seems like Hangouts has gotten overly complex in terms of joining a call, while in Skype, it was very easy to do so. Skype's capability to call landlines and cellphones is also a plus.
Both Microsoft (Skype's owner) and Google (Hangouts owner) are great tools and work on many different platforms, so they are nearly equal in the service they provide. If you lean toward Microsoft, then Skype will likely be your favorite and likewise for Google users will tend to prefer Hangouts. Being a Microsoft Office 365 user and supporting a church, I ended up preferring Skype, but not without trying to leverage Hangouts for conference calls, but as I Skype just seems to work easier.
In conclusion, it really pays to try both products out before favoring one or the other. I like that Google has such a wide selection of products and capabilities, clearly Microsoft takes a second place to Google in this measurement, but Microsoft has a strong productivity suite with Office 365, leveraging their products and capabilities makes them a strong competitor.
