A great collaboration service for small organizations
The synchronization should be simplified. Other solutions like Dropbox and OneDrive have apps. I tried using the mobile version, but it didn't work properly, that needs to be improved. It was cumbersome. It's a good solution for a small organization like ours, but it really depends on your use-cases and the size of your organization. I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app. It was challenging to even download it and once I did, I wasn't even able to log into my system. The mobile app needs to improved for easy use.

Email collaboration and accessibility have improved team productivity
The valuable features include the email service, email updates, and Google Drive. People are given email access to Google Drive. The team can share manual files and work accordingly. They can access different teams from anywhere, collectively putting files, sharing them, and managing them. Additionally, the manufacturing product does not require any downgrades. It works fine and continuously for the last three or four years. Users can access their emails from anywhere in their browser without a laptop or can directly access from Gmail. This is helpful for salespeople.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"The document sharing in which multiple people can work on the same document. To go along with that is the archiving of documents. If you mess up a document, it's easy to go get a previous version."
"Reduces IT spend, freeing up cash for other areas: sales, marketing, recruitment, etc."
"The most valuable part of G Suite is the integration among all of the components. It's also highly reliable because it's always available. And G Suite's ability to collaborate on all the standard office tools has no rival. It's amazing because you can work seamlessly with any of your colleagues on the same document."
"It's easy to use."
"The valuable features of this solution are ease of use, performance is great, and collaboration. It is very easy to share and joins documents."
"Overall, I rate Google Workspace a ten out of ten."
"The email is excellent."
"Good performance, even on relatively slow connections; no local apps required."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"Less customizations than there used to be."
"I talked with G Suite recently because my G Suite has a temporary block. I communicated with the G Suite representative or Google representative, and he told me that I sent a lot of emails, so my email was temporarily blocked. But I know I have not sent more than 500 emails daily to reach the limit. I sent only 5,200 emails, but unfortunately, my G Suite account was temporarily blocked for 24 hours, and then he resolved it. I think they need to improve G Suite because this temporary block is not fair."
"I am not a big fan of how Gmail organizes the mail. I find it complicated to see which mail from which users send at which date. Especially if there is a lot."
"The problem with the presentation is that if you upload a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and you convert it to Google presentation, the slides or pictures, their images are not editable. You can't edit the slides that you brought in. They're just images."
"The performance speed could be improved when the internet connection is slow."
"The synchronization is a bit of an issue."
"The price could be reduced."
"The solution could always be more secure, although that doesn't affect me so much."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"I give the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."
"The pricing of Google Workspace, so far, has been reasonable."
"We receive value for the price that we pay."
"The main challenge regarding startups with identity services is you could be on a platform that works well but the services are expensive. For example, Microsoft Azure costs approximately $30 per user which is expensive. You end up choosing a different platform, such as G Suite Enterprise because it is priced reasonably and is less expensive than other solutions."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I rate Google Workspace's pricing five to six out of ten. We do not pay any extra costs."
