Blogger Comment vs Google+ Comments

Blogger Comment:
Pros:

• User has multiple account options to comment with - Anonymously, using Name & Url, Using Google Profile, Etc. 
• Blog Owner get notification by email on comments.
• Blog owner has access to comments in Blogger dashboard.
• Bulk/Multiple comment moderation is possible from the Blogger comment page.
• Comments can be exported / migrated when moving to another platforms (eg. WordPress)
• Blog admins can delete any comment from blog post.
• Blog Admins have the option to moderate published comments, awaiting moderation comments, and spam comments.

Cons:

• I don't find any. 

Google+ Comment:
Pros:

• Integrating Google+ comments may improve blog audience among Google+ users.
• One can directly comment from Google + where the post has been shared and it is visible on the blog.
• Users can comments on a post and opt to share the comment to Google+ also. Improves interaction.

Cons:

• Only Google+ users can comment.
• Inability to moderate comments before comments are published.
• Inability to moderate comments from the dashboard all at once. 
• Comment moderation is difficult as blog admin has to visit each post and manage comments.
• Inability to receive notification for comments.
• The blogger admin is not notified of new comments, based on my experience at least. So it is hard to track new comments. (In my tests, I did not get Google+ notifications or emails).
• Inability to view all comments made against your blog (from the dashboard or elsewhere).
• Inability to block all undesirable comments / offensive comments.
• The blogger admin cannot manage the Google+ comments – there is no option to delete spam and offensive comments on a blog by the admin. Though Google+ handles spam well, this is a big drawback. 
• Google+ comments on your blog cannot be migrated or exported when migrating to other platforms (Eg. WordPress).
• Another big turnoff is that whenever the blog post is shared to Google+ using G+ share buttons on the page, it is added to comments. Is sharing really a comment?

Testings the pros and cons of Google+ vs Blogger Comments, we find that there are more cons for Google+ comments on Blogger than pros. I have personally decided to keep Blogger Comments on my Blogger blogs for now. If there are improvements in Google+ comments in the future, I may make the switch, after tests.
