Regional Manager Fortinet at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Easy to use, stable, and simple to scale
Pros and Cons
- "The possibility of working together in real-time on the same document is the most useful feature for me."
- "I also use Word from Microsoft Office. Sometimes it's difficult to find some features that are available in Office and not available in Google Docs or are in a different place (if you are more used to Word). We sometimes lose time trying to find certain useability features."
What is our primary use case?
Before I joined Fortinet, we used Google Drive as our main docking share platform. Now I use it to share documents and to collaborate in the same document. It's mostly just for sharing internally.
What is most valuable?
The possibility of working together in real-time on the same document is the most useful feature for me.
The initial setup is very easy.
The solution is very stable.
You can easily scale the solution if you need to.
What needs improvement?
I also use Word from Microsoft Office. Sometimes it's difficult to find some features that are available in Office and not available in Google Docs or are in a different place (if you are more used to Word). We sometimes lose time trying to find certain useability features.
For how long have I used the solution?
I started using the solution ten to 12 years ago. I've used it for a while. it's been over a decade.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I cannot recall ever facing any stability issues. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
While I have only really used a quarter of the space, it's easy just to pay to scale up and scale out.
How are customer service and technical support?
I've never dealt with technical support. I have a colleague that handles everything. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is simple. It's straightforward and not overly complex.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I currently only use the free version. You can pay for more space on the drive if you need to.
In the past, I used the Enterprise version and we did have to pay for that. If you wanted to upgrade from free to Enterprise, there would be a cost involved, and, depending on how much you used, the price would rise.
My understanding is that it is more expensive than Microsoft Teams.
What other advice do I have?
I'm just an end-user.
I'd recommend the solution to others. It's easy, it's free, it's almost integrated with the contacts of Gmail, and you can add comments and automatically send notifications to the participants in the documents. It's integrated with other Google platforms. On top of that, it is easy to understand how to work with it.
I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Owner at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
Stable and well-integrated with Google products
Pros and Cons
- "The integration with Gmail, Calendar, and Google Meet is the most valuable."
- "The ability to share documents with outside clients can be improved. It is difficult to share documents with outside clients, and that's why I am looking at some other solution. If you use Google Drive, they want you to use all of their Google Suite, but not everybody uses Google Suite for document creation. It is not a great solution if you are working with a company that doesn't use Google Suite."
What is our primary use case?
We use it for general storage and sharing documents. We are using the latest version.
What is most valuable?
The integration with Gmail, Calendar, and Google Meet is the most valuable.
What needs improvement?
The ability to share documents with outside clients can be improved. It is difficult to share documents with outside clients, and that's why I am looking at some other solution.
If you use Google Drive, they want you to use all of their Google Suite, but not everybody uses Google Suite for document creation. It is not a great solution if you are working with a company that doesn't use Google Suite.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for less than a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is Google. It is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I didn't really have to test that. We have only two users.
How are customer service and technical support?
I haven't used them.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward.
What other advice do I have?
It is very well-integrated with Google products such as Google Suite. It is a great solution for non-profits and similar stuff, but when you're dealing with other businesses and corporations that have not adopted this solution, it doesn't play nice.
I would rate Google Drive Enterprise an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Senior Consultant/System Analyst at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Good for sharing, searching and storage share
Pros and Cons
- "Low maintenance solution."
- "Record your meeting and simply share with anyone without thinking where to store the file."
- "Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking."
What is our primary use case?
We utilize the Drive Enterprise for sharing, the search drive and the storage share.
What is most valuable?
The ease of user sharing information among people in the organization is the most valuable feature of this solution.
For example, when you have a meeting, you can record it and then simply share with anyone you would like. You don't have to think about where to put the file, everything is semi-automatic, everything is functional.
What needs improvement?
Microsoft Teams has a lot more features than Google. Google Meet allows you to collaborate by drawing on a whiteboard while talking in the meeting, however it is primitive and not user friendly as it is a bit challenging to try to demonstrate using the whiteboard.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Google Drive since day one of our organization.
How are customer service and support?
Google Drive Enterprise is a low maintenance solution.
What other advice do I have?
If you don't need the added features of Microsoft Teams, Google Meet will satisfy the needs of collaboration and discussion. It is a good integration of Google. There has been no problems or issues. I would give it a 9 out of 10.

Secure, scalable, and useful collaboration function
Pros and Cons

The main purpose we are using Google Drive Enterprise is for storing files and the collaboration function. We share documents with certain members of the company.
