Harsha Ramamurthy - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides flexibility for remote work and offers good performance
My company has a product servicing team of 12 people, consisting of network engineers who call themselves network support, and the other teams in my company refer to them as the setup servicing team. Though not all of them manage Google, some of them do it when required. In terms of the manageability benefits offered by the product to my company's team, I would say that there was not much of a learning curve involved when we migrated from Microsoft to Google around two years ago, and it was pretty easy to integrate. I have not utilized Google Chrome's flexibility for remote work. The solution has some good points in terms of scalability and ease of use. However, my company doesn't like the UX component of the product, and it is also one of the reasons why we miss Microsoft Teams. I can recommend the product to others after considering their needs. If a user has more money to invest, they should choose Microsoft. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Anish Bheekoo - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable performance, straightforward setup process, and it is easy to join a domain
In terms of improvement, I have noticed some latency issues when loading large Excel or Word files. I'm not sure if it's a network or software issue, but it would be great if they could address that. Additionally, in terms of security, implementing easier remote access to laptops and providing more mature patching options would be beneficial. Overall, there is room for improvement in these areas. It should also give complete support for already tested versions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its browser, which offers good performance."
"It has been working pretty well for us...By and large, things are pretty stable."
"Google Sheets and Google Docs are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Chrome Enterprise is really easy to deploy and manage."
"Bookmarking is very good because they are synchronized across all devices."
"This solution is user-friendly with security features detecting if there is suspicious activity on the browser. There is a lot of extensions we can use to provide us with good coverage."
"Google Chrome Enterprise is a stable solution with good performance."
"Windows 11 is an easy-to-use solution."
"I use the tool for work which includes emails, using the internet, etc."
"Quick Assist is a valuable feature."
"Windows 11 is mainly used for support and provides improved performance compared to Windows 10."
"The most valuable aspect is the seamless integration and robust compatibility of other tools."
"The product's most valuable feature is its support service."
"I like the product's taskbar and icon grouping. You can also get a Windows subscription for Android. The solution's performance is also better compared to the previous versions."
"The solution's steps are now very customized and it has great functionality."
 

Cons

"There is a need for improved features to refine search results and narrow them down efficiently."
"Additional data security and data privacy features could be proactively recommended by Google."
"Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution."
"I wish there was a way that they could update things a little less often if anything. I think a lot of enterprise customers are frustrated... Certain plug-ins like ad blockers will lose some functionality in the next quarter to half a year."
"Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging since Chrome consistently strives to enhance itself. One aspect I'd like to highlight is virtualization. For instance, if you require desktop-based applications like Cisco or Adobe products on your local machine, Chrome's support is limited. While they offer Linux solutions for virtualization, my query or request would be to expand this to include Windows-based applications. If this were implemented, it would be a valuable enhancement, encouraging broader adoption by companies."
"The tool is not very user-friendly."
"Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market."
"Setting up anything resembling a shared inbox is still kind of a giant pain in the solution."
"Windows 11 is not very stable, and its stability could be improved."
"The solution's installation process could be less time-consuming."
"I didn't find any reliable reviews for applications in the Microsoft Store."
"There was trouble installing a program from my USB flash drive."
"A significant drawback is its cost for the hardware requirements that is important for optimal performance which makes it less accessible and potentially impractical for many users globally."
"The product’s performance needs improvement."
"From what I've been reading recently about the malware attacks on Windows Office 365 users, I might have some concerns about securing the OS."
"The product's price, performance, and implementation accessibility need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Google Chrome Enterprise is a medium-priced solution."
"The product price is very good in my opinion."
"We are on a monthly subscription for this solution."
"Pricing varies significantly based on different regions and specific requirements. The cost can differ for the Euro price as opposed to the Asia-specific price. Generally, the standard pricing falls within the range of twenty-five to thirty dollars per license. This payment can be structured on a monthly or yearly basis. Opting for the yearly payment plan often comes with an added discount, either directly from Google or through negotiations with your vendor."
"So all I can say is just for us since we just recently re-upped our three-year contract for Google Education Enterprise, whatever the name is for their highest level enterprise...I found the pricing to be pretty reasonable overall."
"Yearly payments are to be made towards the licensing costs of Google Chrome Enterprise. It is not an expensive solution. I rate the solution's pricing model a six out of ten. There is a need to pay an extra cost in addition to the solution's standard licensing fees."
"It is expensive."
"The tool is expensive."
"We pay for a yearly license for Windows 11."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"I use the free home version."
"I'm not directly involved in the financial aspects, but based on feedback from colleagues, Microsoft is flexible with pricing and addressing other licensing needs."
"Windows 11 is not an expensive solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight to nine out of ten."
