Is there something better than the new improved Google video chat?

I have been using Google video chat for a couple of years. We have Google Apps at work, and the easy way that video chat was integrated made it simple for my distributed work force to remain in contact via video. Now they have "improved" it with Hangouts which doesn't work as easily or as well. I have no need for pirate hat overlays on video chat, just simple easy to use video integrated with my employee's email address. Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to Hangout, or is there a way to bring the old system back?
