Used to share documents across teams and provides good knowledge management
Pros and Cons
  • "With Google Drive Enterprise, multiple people can edit a document, and you can open it as Google Docs."
  • "Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to share documents across teams and store them long-term in locations independent of a laptop.

What is most valuable?

With Google Drive Enterprise, multiple people can edit a document, and you can open it as Google Docs. You don't need a reader because the format reader is already a part of the drive or the browser. The ecosystem has become very user-friendly, and we don't need to purchase any software.

What needs improvement?

Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for a few years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Google Drive Enterprise is a very stable solution.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for stability.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have previously used Dropbox.

What was our ROI?

The solution provided us with good productivity, knowledge management, and knowledge sharing.

What other advice do I have?

No setup is required for the solution, as it's all on the browser. Google Drive Enterprise is beneficial for anything that has to be shared across teams, where multiple people need to work on a document. The solution's security features are very good. We can define who gets access to the document. Users need to define their access properly so that they don't modify someone else's document. It is a good knowledge management tool.

I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Reliable uptime with the ability to synchronize files across different platforms
Pros and Cons
  • "Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot."
  • "The free tier of storage is limited."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for document and file storage. Additionally, we use it to store interesting knowledge articles or books we are interested in.

How has it helped my organization?

Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot, and its uptime is always very reliable and available. So it's a great way to have important information synced across multiple devices.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is its ability to synchronize files across different platforms. So the most recent copies of information and data are available and can easily be transferred offline. For example, if I edit a document on Google Drive, I know that there won't be an older version of it somewhere else.

What needs improvement?

The free tier of storage is limited, especially regarding the photos. Additionally, there is no editing option available via the mobile application. Hence the solution can be improved by consolidating viewing and editing features on mobile devices and expanding its free storage options.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Google Drive Enterprise for several years.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. I recommend new users considering the solution use multiple devices to sync all their files constantly and use folders within Google Drive Enterprise. Additionally, they should be aware of capacity limits and storage limits.

User-friendly, reliable, and accessible from any machine or mobile device
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very user-friendly."
  • "The vendor must increase awareness about the tool among the common people."

What is our primary use case?

Google Drive Enterprise is a shared space. We can access our Google Drive from any device. I use the tool for my personal use cases.

What is most valuable?

The solution is accessible from any machine or mobile device. It is a big advantage. The solution is very user-friendly. Even a common man can use it. It is always available.

What needs improvement?

In most of the devices, the product works in the background. The common man wouldn't even know they use Google Drive to access their photos from anywhere. The awareness of the common people is very low. The vendor must increase awareness about the tool among the common people. It will benefit Google.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten. There is room for improvement.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product’s scalability is good. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is not complex. It is simple. I just need to have my email ID, and I should be logged in on the device to access the product.

What was our ROI?

My files and photos are available from all the devices I use. Google Drive can be accessed through mobile devices. It is stable and reliable.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is free.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated OneDrive. We must log in to our Microsoft account to use OneDrive, which we rarely do on mobile devices. Many people do not have Microsoft accounts, and it's not very common. OneDrive is better suited for work purposes.

What other advice do I have?

I will recommend the solution to others. We must understand how it functions and use it well. I rate the usability a nine out of ten. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

A web application that works as a repository for storing data such as Excel, Word documents, and more
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the most strong features is the ability to collaborate by sharing files with others, allowing concurrent work. The most valuable features of our team's collaboration include concurrent editing and quickly creating reports. This allows for simultaneous editing, moderation, and finalization of our reports."
  • "Improvements could include better editing features within a Word document, similar to the characteristics of on-premises versions, such as more formatting functions. Another improvement could be file transfer from the browser to the desktop, making it as simple as drag and drop."

What is our primary use case?

The tool is our repository for storing data such as Excel, Word documents, and more. 

What is most valuable?

One of the most strong features is the ability to collaborate by sharing files with others, allowing concurrent work. The most valuable features of our team's collaboration include concurrent editing and quickly creating reports. This allows for simultaneous editing, moderation, and finalization of our reports.

The tool is secure, and you won't encounter any difficulties. 

What needs improvement?

Improvements could include better editing features within a Word document, similar to the characteristics of on-premises versions, such as more formatting functions. Another improvement could be file transfer from the browser to the desktop, making it as simple as drag and drop.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for more than five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Google Drive Enterprise's stability as ten out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think it is quite scalable. The free version offers up to one or ten gigabytes of storage, and you can pay for extra space if needed. My company has five to ten users who use it daily. 

How are customer service and support?

We don't need to contact support because everything is straightforward. In most cases, we solve any issues ourselves. The products are mature and provide straightforward solutions, so support is unnecessary.

How was the initial setup?

Google Drive Enterprise's deployment is easy. It's just a web application. 

What was our ROI?

The biggest value is that you don't need to exchange files manually. You have a central repository and concurrent users, which is quite important.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

You don't need to pay if it is within your storage limits. If you need more, you can have a corporate license. I don't know the pricing, but there is a corporate license. The extra costs would only be if you exceed these free limits.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the overall product a ten out of ten. I would advise others to start using it without hesitation. It's safe and reliable so that you won't lose your data.

Easy to use and allows for collaboration between users
Pros and Cons
  • "can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility."
  • "One problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days."

What is our primary use case?

As a student, I use Google Drive to share documents with other students. Google Drive is useful for students like me who need to upload assignments, which can be in various formats like Microsoft Powerpoint, Excel, etc. Teachers can also share unusually large files with students by sharing links instead of emailing them directly, which helps to share larger files that cannot be shared via Gmail.

What is most valuable?

With Google Drive, I can create my own folders and share them with my friends. I can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility.

What needs improvement?

One thing about Google Drive is that it's not really compatible with Microsoft Drive. For example, if I have Microsoft OneDrive and want to share files in an Excel format, it shows up in my Google Sheets format on Google Drive. It can cause formatting issues between both drives, making it difficult to work with other companies like Microsoft.

One more problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days. So, if you want more capacity in your cloud, you need to pay for it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's quite stable. For example, if I have a link to a Google Drive, that link usually works. I can create many files like Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Forms. Recently, I was working with Google Forms, and there's an option for shortening the URL of the form as well. Whenever I share that link, the shortened link also usually works, and as the owner of the form, I can easily see how many responses I've got and analyze those responses.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I've only used it within my capacity. But because everyone now has a Google account, it would be quite scalable. Approximately 10,000 people in my college within my university are using it. We would like to increase the capacity because it should be more compatible with Microsoft.

How was the initial setup?

It was quite easy to set up since everyone nowadays has a Google account. You can log in and access your Google Drive with a Google account.

What about the implementation team?

No expertise is required because you just need to sign in to your Google account.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I have two Google accounts, one is my personal Google account, and the one where I use Drive more is from my university, so my university would be paying some amount, but I'm not sure about that.

What other advice do I have?

I have limited exposure to Microsoft OneDrive as well, but I would definitely recommend Google's Cloud and Google Drive due to their storage capacity and ease of use.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. One thing I recommend is that Google Drive Enterprise should provide a proper outline of how much memory is available in the cloud, and if they plan to increase their prices, the pricing should be transparent from their end.

Used to create, store, and share documents securely
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing with partners."
  • "The solution's capacity could be increased to store more documents."

What is our primary use case?

We create folders and store our documents in Google Drive. We can give folder access to our friends, colleagues, customers, or partners. If they want to download, we can also give them download access.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing with partners.

What needs improvement?

The solution's capacity could be increased to store more documents. We currently access the solution by clicking a link that shows us all the applications, such as Calendar and Drive. We currently don't have the Google Drive option on top of the email, which allows us to access the solution immediately.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution’s stability is very good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Google Drive Enterprise is a very scalable solution. Earlier, using the solution was very difficult, but now it's very easy to operate. We can easily share folders and move files from one folder to another. It takes very little time to upload. Earlier, it used to be very slow, but now it can upload very fast. Around 30 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution.

What other advice do I have?

Google Drive Enterprise was very useful for one SAP project we did recently. We uploaded all the technical specifications in project documents, stored them in Google Drive Enterprise, and shared them with our team members. The team members could access them very smoothly, and the project went very smoothly after using the tool. I would recommend the solution to other users.

I would recommend the solution to other users because it is a very good DMS (document management system) tool for storing documents. Google Drive Enterprise is a scalable, easy-to-operate, and secure solution.

We have been operating G Suite for almost five years now. Long before that, we used Google Drive Enterprise on our personal and official accounts. We have not faced any technical issues with the solution and can access it anywhere. The solution is also mobile-friendly. I can download a file from my mobile and share it with my employees.

Overall, I rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten.

A tool to store and access files that offers good performance and stability to its users
Pros and Cons
  • "Google Drive Enterprise is a good product, and it is easy to use."
  • "Security is the only area where there are certain shortcomings in the product where improvements are required."

What is our primary use case?

Google Drive Enterprise is a good product, and it is easy to use. With Google Drive Enterprise, users can have access to their files anywhere in the world.

I use Google Drive Enterprise in my company so that I can use my files anywhere, and I always have access to my files. With Google Drive Enterprise, it is easy to have extra storage.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it provides good performance and stability. The tool is secure enough to use since you can use extra protection to use it on your phone.

What needs improvement?

It is always possible to offer better protection and improve the protection rate that the product offers its users. The security part of the product may not be very important for me since I only use it for my files. I want my files to be protected.

Security is the only area where there are certain shortcomings in the product where improvements are required.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for a long time.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I use it for my private files at my home.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase was straightforward because it's a Google product, meaning it is also integrated with Google's system.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

For the deployment process, you have to create an account, and once you have an account, you can access your Google Drive and Google Mail.

What about the implementation team?

I installed the product in my company.

What was our ROI?

I have seen benefits from using the product.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is available for free.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Around 15 to 20 years ago, I evaluated Dropbox against Google Drive Enterprise.

What other advice do I have?

If you like storing your files and data in Google's system, you can access them from anywhere, which is a nice thing to have because you will always have your files while Google takes care of updating the backup it provides.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. With the product, it is easy to backup and store your files and data, apart from which I don't use it for anything else.

I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.

A stable tool that offers the ability to maintain privacy while sharing files or folders of critical nature
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a stable solution, and I have never faced any issues with the product...It is a scalable solution since one can get as much as one needs from the product."
  • "The product lacks in the area of documentation."

What is our primary use case?

In my company, we use Google Chrome with Google Drive Enterprise. My company has been using services from Google, and we specifically rely on Google as our email service provider. We rely on Google when there is an expansion in the company's data.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to keep and maintain the company's critical data while allowing it to maintain privacy while sharing files or folders.

What needs improvement?

In Google Drive Enterprise, Google Chrome's interface is currently cloud-based, but I feel it should have some desktop and mobile applications that don't depend so much on the cloud, which might make it faster.

The product lacks in the area of documentation. I use tools provided by Microsoft Office, and I feel Google needs to provide some documentation similar to what Microsoft provides to its users.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for a few years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution, and I have never faced any issues with the product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution since one can get as much as one needs from the product. Regarding the product's scalability, one can subscribe to get a larger capacity and pay for it.

How was the initial setup?

The solution is deployed on the cloud. My company has its own local premises, servers, and infrastructure, but Google is more suitable as a cloud-sharing solution, especially when handling critical data and when one has no access to local premises via VPN to handle less critical information, like sales material and data sheets.

There is no time taken to deploy the product since it is already integrated into Google Chrome.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

My company had previously compared Google Drive Enterprise with Microsoft but decided to choose Google since Google's pricing was favorable for our company.

What other advice do I have?

I don't have any recommendations for those planning to use the solution since I am not a sophisticated user. I can say that the product has everything my company needs.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
