Google Drive Enterprise Reviews

We use Google Drive Enterprise for storing data from the servers and backup all data.

I have found the most valuable feature to be the Google Drive synchronization.

The feature for synchronization of data from multiple systems with the same single ID is not happening in Google Drive. This feature should be added. For example, if I have only one single mail ID and I'm using it in a different location to upload different data, this is the challenge. It is happening from one system or one server. The synchronization of data from the local system to Google Drive will not happen if the IDs are the same. If I'm using it for different systems in different locations, synchronization is not happening. The system hets logged out. This feature is very important for us and they need to add it.

One location I can synchronize but multiple locations with the same ID, will not work.

In a future release, they could make the solution more user-friendly.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately five years.

The solution is highly stable.

The solution is highly scalable, I would give it a ten out of ten.

We have approximately 450 G Suite mail IDs and for storage purposes, we are using approximately five to six mail IDs for synchronization.

We have a third-party company that provides us with support.

The installation is simple and user-friendly.

The price of Google Drive Enterprise is very good. There are different prices from different vendors, it priced competitively. For example, if I purchase a mail ID directly from Google, it'll cost me 2,500 rupees plus GST. If I buy the same from the third-party vendors, it'll be less than 2,000 rupees. On Google's website, they will quote a very high price but they should not do this. I should be able to purchase from Google at a cheaper price than what I do from third parties.

I have evaluated Amazon AWS and IBM solutions. Amazon AWS has competitive prices for cloud storage and backups.

I rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten.

It is a shared drive. We are a reseller, and we have multiple customers. We give training, and sometimes, when customers are having any issues, we also need to troubleshoot them.

We have its latest version.

It is a shared drive. It is useful for our organization for uploading documents that will be visible to all of our employees. Our HR, finance team, accounts team, and other teams use it for any important notifications or documents. They upload a document in the shared drive, and it is visible to all of the employees. Rather than sending it to everyone one by one, they just need to allow the document to be shared with the whole organization. It is convenient and easy to use.

It is very easy to use. Everything is available on the cloud, which is what I like the most. So, when we require a document, we can download it at any time and in any of the formats.

Multiple formats are available, and it also saves multiple versions, which makes it the best. We can just restore the previous version and download it based on our convenience and in our preferred format. These are some of the features that I like the most.

I have sometimes observed that when the data is very huge or there are so many rules, Google Sheets documents get stuck while uploading. It keeps on loading the document and gives an error. There should be an improvement in this aspect. It should be quick. Currently, we have to wait for a long time.

One of our customers was basically having this issue related to the transfer of ownership of a folder. A user had created the folder in Google Drive, and he had shared that folder with other users. Those users created subfolders in that shared folder or uploaded multiple documents and shared them with the whole team. When the person who has created the main folder left the organization, we had to help him to transfer the ownership of the Google Drive to someone else, but things got messy. It was hard to know who had shared what, and basically, the ownership was totally lost. The ownership should have been transferred properly in the exact structure for all folders and subfolders.

It should be easier to implement or deploy it on our system, rather than on the cloud. There should be some improvement so that it is easily deployed without files and folders getting messy or downloads not completing. Sometimes, the downloads don't complete, and the next day, it starts again. Sometimes, it gets corrupted or doesn't start from the beginning. So, it should be easy to deploy on a system.

There is a per-day upload or download limit. They should increase and improve that.

I have more than six years of experience in working with Google Drive Enterprise.

It is reliable.

In terms of scalability, it has a problem. There is a per-day limit for uploading or downloading. It is okay for a few KBs and GBs, but sometimes, when we have the enterprise plan and we have to upload and download 1 TB or up to 5 TB data for immediate purposes, there is a limit. It should be improved in that aspect.

Their support is great.

Its initial setup was okay. It only got complex when subfolders were created, and the folders and subfolders were further shared.

It has a yearly license.

I would highly recommend this solution. There are a few things that require improvement, but it also has some very good features.

I would rate Google Drive Enterprise an eight out of 10.

Google Drive Enterprise is used for storing important data.

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.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately five years.

The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good.

I rate the stability of Google Drive Enterprise a ten out of ten.

We have approximately 100 users using this solution.

I rate the scalability of Google Drive Enterprise a ten out of ten.

The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise is simple. The process takes approximately one hour.

We did the implementation of the solution in-house.

The solution is worth the value. We have received a return on investment. The overall solution is good, from the memory and storage given.

The price of Google Drive Enterprise is affordable and is one of its best features. I am on a monthly subscription.

We have one person for maintenance that does the data backups.

My advice to others is if they need cloud storage of information in a secure location, I would recommend this solution.

I rate Google Drive Enterprise a ten out of ten.

We use it to manage our enterprise accounts. We also use it for communications like email communication, video conferencing, et cetera. With Drive specifically, we use that for storing internal confidential documents or internal documentation that require an extra level of security.  

It provides a solution for secure document sharing that is not really matched by other similar solutions.  

I would say that spreadsheets (Sheets) and document (Docs) functionalities have been most useful. That is because it is easily tied in with the ability to choose who you share something with. I think that is really primarily what is most valuable to us. 

In a more general way and for our purposes, I would say having a little bit more control and clarity over what is shared and how it is shared would be a useful improvement. There are obviously controls already in the product for sharing and restrictions, but they could be more robust and flexible as far as assigning restrictions.  

Also, some of the features within Sheets could be enhanced. It is meant to be a replacement to Excel, but it really is not there yet as a product with equal capabilities as there are still quite a few limitations to the functionality.  

Aside from those few things, there is really not too much that I think needs to be added to the product to improve it. It is quite a simple product and that is kind of the beauty of it. There is not too much more that you could add to it that would really help and might just complicate it instead. I think it is quite a mature, simple, good solution.  

We have been using the product for about a year now in my current role with this company. I used it in previous roles and as a customer for several years before that.  

We have not had any issues with the stability of the product.  

There really are no issues with scalability. Storage is unlimited and it is on the cloud so it can scale automatically.  

Personally, I have not had a reason to put in a call to the technical support but the team that administers the account has. I know I have not heard any negative feedback. Response times are within the SLA (Service Level Agreement), so the service is as expected.  

The setup is really pretty straightforward.  

It is inexpensive and the cost is per user per month.  

We did not really do any serious evaluations of products of this type before choosing to go with Drive Enterprise. I only previously looked at things like Dropbox which are pretty insecure solutions. I have used those things in the past but I have not used them for many years now because of the lack of better security features in them.  

My advice to people who are considering Google Drive Enterprise as a solution is to go ahead and use it. It is a good tool. It is secure. It is great for managing internal company documentation in a secure fashion.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate the product as about a nine-out-of-ten. To make it better than that it would really need to have some sort of revolutionary improvement that makes it step ahead of the entire class of products. I do not know what that would be. I, personally, very seldom give things 10-out-of-10 as I think perfection is something that is essentially unattainable.  

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

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.

Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly.

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

Google Drive Enterprise is a very stable solution.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for stability.

I have previously used Dropbox.

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

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.

We've been using Google Drive Enterprise internally, particularly from one developer to another, for file sharing. With it, we can upload files and share files with other users. We can also give access to users or a full company, so they can access or edit files. We can also restrict and give "view only" access, so users are only able to download and not edit the files.

Though I don't see a major difference between Google Drive Enterprise and other competitors, I find that the solution is easy to use. You just need to connect to it and upload files and give access to users who need access to the files. It's very easy to manage files and share files on Google Drive Enterprise, and these are its most valuable features.

Security-wise, Google Drive Enterprise needs improvement. Compared to its competitor: Kiteworks, Google Drive Enterprise is less secure.

As for additional features that I'd like to see from Google Drive Enterprise in the future, in terms of security, it's only asking for OTP, but that's still fine. Storage-wise, storage could be increased especially if users have a large number of files to upload and users want to maintain all those files in the cloud rather than locally.

I've been using Google Drive Enterprise for three years, and I'm still using it.

Google Drive Enterprise is a stable solution. For the past three years that I've been using it, I didn't see any delay or issue when uploading or sharing files, and I also didn't experience any issues in terms of the server being down.

Google Drive Enterprise is a scalable solution. We can upload several files, but I'm unsure what the maximum file size is, for example, it could be 20 GB maximum, but I'm not sure. We can share files, but in a single upload, I'm unable to say what the limit is in terms of the file size.

We didn't get the chance to connect with the technical support for Google Drive Enterprise because we haven't faced any issues with the solution.

I have no information about the licensing or cost associated with Google Drive Enterprise.

I evaluated Kiteworks.

I would recommend Google Drive Enterprise to other users. Normally the bank my company works with prefers Kiteworks, but my company suggested Google Drive for sharing and maintaining files and the bank is also okay with it.

I'm rating Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten versus Kiteworks which I'm rating a seven out of ten.

Because we work on projects, Google Drive is extremely versatile. It is interchangeable among users, and every one can edit at different times.

We are all in different parts of the world. When we collaborate on a team project, everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the project. There is a team leader who reviews and edits everything before we all get credit. It's pretty cool. I'm from a different era and teaching myself.

It's pretty straightforward. You have to have the right mindset for it, but it's pretty simple.

There are a few kinks to work out at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple and extremely useful.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for two years.

Google Drive Enterprise is quite stable.

I have not contacted technical support.

If I have an issue, members of my group navigate me through it. I have never had to contact them.

The University of Phoenix provides it. I've never had to pay any fees.

I'm happy with how things are going right now because I'm getting used to them. That's probably a question for later, when I am more acquainted with my business. I'm hoping to graduate in May, and I need to write a 40-page dissertation. This is a tutorial of what is to come for me.

Google Drive is popular in this generation because it is so interchangeable. People can look into your documents if you provide them with a password.

Personally, I believe it is a great solution for businesses, but it all depends on how many people you have working for you and what your main goal is.

It brings a project together, which is wonderful.

The world today fascinates me. I remember encyclopedias and going to the library to look at Microfiche.

I think that it is fabulous. I have my own practice. I am in Social Services. This information is good for me and the people I network with. I can bring anybody, I want in, I can create documents and have others look at it and give me advice. I enjoy Good Drive.

I would rate Google Drive Enterprise a ten out of ten.

I use the tool to store proposals, technical documents, and Google Sheets. 

The product helps us to collaborate with team members. You can control the share and access feature. It is also user-friendly. The solution's security features are decent and reliable. Its APIs are good. 

We don't have to keep storage separately. Everything is available on the cloud. 

Google Drive Enterprise is expensive. Google Sheets APIs need improvement. 

I have been using the product for six to seven years.

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

My company has 50 users. 

I have used Dropbox before Google Drive Enterprise.

The solution's deployment is straightforward. 

You need to pay an extra cost to use more space. 

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. It is a good option since the tool is part of the G-suite package, and you get access to multiple products.
