Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the ease with which you can share files securely with the team. It makes file and information sharing much easier than sending attachments.""For me, the most valuable feature is basically saving and sharing documents with other people outside, having something to be co-shared. When documents are large in size, it is easier to send them via email.""The integration with Gmail, Calendar, and Google Meet is the most valuable.""It allows multiple users to work simultaneously on a document.""The tool is user-friendly.""Some of the most useful features of Google Drive Enterprise is the ability to store my data and share it.""Even if you lose your laptop or device, your data will still be accessible on Google Drive Enterprise. Therefore, keeping your files on the tool is a safe option. You can access it from any device if you have a Gmail account. When you create a Gmail account, you automatically get access to free Google resources, including 15 GB of Google Drive Enterprise storage, which is shared across all Google products.""The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good."

"The collaboration is very good.""The adaptability is very easy.""SharePoint and emailing are two technologies that are very widely used by all employees.""We're very comfortable with the solution. Since we've been used the product for so long, we're very comfortable with its functionalities.""Microsoft 365 Business applications are very used to use and have a good interface.""You can have conference calls with different parties using video and voice.""The stability of the product is excellent.""Its flexibility is most valuable. It provides flexibility and a dynamic approach. It is not limited by a physical location, and it can be run on different devices from different locations."

Cons
"The tool must allow more customization.""Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly.""It would be helpful if there was a synchronization option that would allow me to synchronize folders or emails with my online repository. That way, any new items added to the folder would automatically be uploaded to the solution, without me having to manually upload them.""One problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days.""The price could be better. Google should rethink and realign its pricing strategy along with the storage prices because storage prices are going down for on-premise solutions. If they can reduce the cost or increase the storage capacity for that same tier, that would be a great advantage.""Considering things like speech recognition or enhanced benefits in Google Cloud could be worth exploring for a better experience.""Google Drive Enterprise can improve by suggesting to me I have duplicate files or some kind of duplicate feature. If it can give that kind of advice, it would be a great feature on a drive storage capability. There has to be some kind of machine learning to analyze individual data and provide recommendations.""The free storage amount should improve in Google Drive Enterprise. They only provide a small amount of storage."

More Google Drive Enterprise Cons →

"The solution could have better email automation.""Security could be improved.""The price can always be improved.""The configuration could be faster.""I would like to see cheaper licensing fees.""The online and desktop versions should have the same user experience.""They need more tutorial training about using the advanced features.""It requires logging out and in again when working for different companies."

  • "Pricing can vary a lot due to fluctuations in exchange rates and that is not favorable for planning."

  • "It works out to be $12.50 per user per month."
  • "Microsoft 365 Business will be good to have if you have a large organization where you have more than 3000 employees. Other cheaper solutions, like Gmail, are easily available in the market."
