Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

Collaboration works seamlessly and automation supports efficient file sharing

I work as a software engineer in fraud prevention projects where I function primarily as a data engineer. I work with data warehouses, which are centralized storage systems where transactions through databases occur and data from various client sources is consolidated. Amazon WorkDocs can be integrated with AWS Lambda and used with step functions. If publishing with SNS, WorkDocs can subscribe to SNS as well. The integration capabilities of WorkDocs with other AWS services are strong. For access, we use Okta with our AWS account, and we can only log in through our laptops. We authenticate and access whatever services we are authorized to use from the company. Mobile access is not allowed. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon WorkDocs an 8.

Assosiate Professor at Palazzo del Mediterraneo

Collaborative work with students has improved but storage limitations and support issues remain

We have Google Workspace, and we use it primarily for Drive to collect items. We categorize folders with topics and material either for students or for research. We use Google Doc to share documents, especially when we assign homework to be corrected for peer correction or classroom correction. With Teams and Microsoft, we use it for collective calls and exam supervision because we use video surveillance through camera with Teams. We use Teams for meetings and to share material with students. The ability to share documents with students and assign them things and correct them in real time has been beneficial. You can verify what they write, and they can contribute and cooperate to create a collective document, which is something that our society nowadays requires. The ability to cooperate, especially those who work with languages and those who work with writing, need to learn how to cooperate. There is co-editing and co-writing, all these sorts of things. I love the fact that I can easily have access to folders that I can categorize and where I can upload research material and teaching material.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"For content sharing, it provides automation features that can be customized according to needs, which are some of the best features that I appreciate."

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."

"The solution helps us to collaborate."

"Google integrates well with our system. G Suite has an open API, so you can connect any open system with Google capable of working with API. This is the main reason we use it."

"From a security point of view, Google will alert you if anything strange is happening. They will flag it for you so you are aware."

"Good search features, reliable storage, and quick thinking."

"The solution is very stable."

"G Suite Enterprise is user-friendly, and the technical toolkits and other information are on the website. Additionally, the technical documents are comprehensive."

"The calendar is the most valuable feature."

"All the Microsoft Office features are available in Google Workspace."

More Google Workspace pros

Cons

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

"Our users have faced an issue with increasing their email quotas over the last three months."

"There's a bit of a learning curve."

"It would be nice to have additional software, such as Microsoft Teams, since our basic edition, Google Meet, cannot record video."

"Google Workspace has limitations as a document or file management system. Without a workspace account, manual actions are required to perform tasks such as managing groups of people. Additionally, managing permissions individually is a time-consuming and inefficient process. It's difficult to articulate, but the process is not very streamlined."

"Integrating Copilot with Google Workspace is slightly difficult."

"I find the price high for the full suite features. Compared to Exchange Online, the price might not be too high, but you cannot choose only one functionality. When you buy Google Workspace, you have to get everything, including file storage and communication tools, which I don't use."

"It takes a long time to import the data from G Suite into another platform."

"For Google Docs, if you upload a Word document up to Google Docs, it could mess up your formatting quite a bit."

More Google Workspace cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"There are benefits that can provide a competitive advantage, e.g., improved productivity (with appropriate training), increased collaboration (with correct use of tools), flexible working - work from home or remote locations, easy to scale - fast onboarding of new employees, and ability to add and remove licenses, as required."

"I rate Google Workspace's pricing five to six out of ten. We do not pay any extra costs."

"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"The pricing is very high, although I cannot tell if this is the result of the Indian vendors artificially inflating it."

"2,500 Rupees per month per user."

"Approximately $6 per user, per month."

"The price of Google Workspace is reasonable. I pay less than 100 a month."

"There are different versions of the solution available, such as premium."
