Google Workspace Reviews

We use it as our main email system, so everybody is on that email as a platform. We use it for collaboration, using their tools for Google Meet or Google Hangouts. We use it for their tools that are similar to office tools. They have a spreadsheet, they have what you would see in Office, and they have similar tools to that. I'm able to do a Word documentation or editor, and spreadsheets. We use it for meetings, so it is our counterpoint to an office type of thing.

It's certainly easier to meet. We have offices around the world and the ability to have a company meeting on Google Meet platform makes it a whole lot easier to actually have everybody virtually in one room at the same time.

The email and the meeting piece of it for the collaboration tools are the most valuable features.

Their tool called Sheets is the counterpart to Excel but it doesn't have the same functionality that Excel would have. So usually if somebody needs to go back to Excel or Office, it's because of Excel.

They should incorporate some of the formulas, the ability to pivot tables. For our finance team, anything that requires higher cap calculation or data analytics isn't as good in Sheets as it is in their counterpart tools.

My company has used G Suite for over four years. 

It's stable, lots of people use it. It works well for what we use it for.

We've just signed a contract to use it for the next three years, so we know we're going to use it for that length of time, even as the company continues to grow.

We probably have about 600 users and they vary roles between our executive users, the different departments, HR, finance, sales, marketing, and customer service. We use that same tool in our print facility. So we have fewer technical people that do manufacturing operations on the shop floor.

We plan to increase usage in headcount. I don't know that they offer something that we don't use. They sell add ons or third party products and we use some of them, but it's just continued use as we expand people.

Their technical support is good. When we have a question, they're pretty quick when answering.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

It's about $8.30 up a user per month. If you want to do archiving, things of that nature, there're additional costs for storage, if you upgrade particular users. So some users may have more storage and there are additional licensing costs for that. It depends on how much more they go beyond normal storage.

If you need basic functionality in a very mobile or dispersed workforce, it works great. When we didn't use Enterprise, it became time-consuming and complicated to manage. Sometimes you step up a tier just to be able to manage it more effectively.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. I think it's a good, solid product for basic functionality. It's easy to roll out, it's easy to use in a very distributed workforce until you get to the level where you need very specific things, it's great. Once you get to that, I need some specific functionality like in Excel, it doesn't offer that kind of advanced feature set. So it's the only reason it wouldn't go higher and also because of some of the complications. But it doesn't have an advanced feature set. 

I use this solution in a variety of different cases i.e. emailing, audio and video conferencing, sharing files, etc.

The solution offers great integration and security, better than Microsoft in my opinion.

We value the collaboration levels that are offered. Having everything integrated in a single platform is a dream come true for us.

I believe that Sheets could have a more functional and user-friendly interface. Google Sheets currently lacks macros and cross-file links that can be found in Excel.

I have been using this solution for almost five years now.

This is a stable solution.

This is a scalable solution, we have some customers who install G Suite for thousands of users and have no had any issues.

We have only needed to contact support twice over the last five years and have no complaints with them.

We were originally using Microsoft but we switched for security reasons. We faced many spam attacks on the Microsoft platform and Google offered spam filters which were attractive to us so we decided to migrate everything there.

Overall, Google beats Microsoft on the price, performance, and security features.

The initial setup was straightforward and took just a couple of days to deploy within the whole company.

We implemented the solution ourselves.

We have seen high ROI.

The overall cost is very reasonable when considering all of the security features that you are receiving. It is a bit more expensive than our localhost and/or other hosting companies that are available on the market, but it is worth it.

I would highly recommend this solution, it is a no-brainer that this is one of the best cloud platforms available. The only reason you should not go with G Suite is if you have some strict regulations to keep everything on your local devices or within your local network.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The primary use case is for communications, through email.

The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use.

Everybody tries to emulate Google. I would say that they are leaders in the area of email.

It's a rolling release, it's always changing.

The price could be reduced.

I have been using G Suite Enterprise for approximately two years.

They are always ahead of the competition, there is not much to improve as long as they keep maintaining the same momentum.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

• Very easy to administer
• Most users find it easy to use
• It's free for many non profit organizations

It was much easier and cheaper for us than most email solutions as we didn’t have to worry about anything except setting up users.

People who are used to Outlook hate it but I’m not really sure what should be improved, as that is feedback that I got. I would love to see threading handled in a more “classic” inbox way. As far as I know, that’s everyone's biggest complaint about Gmail, and in most respects, Google Apps for Education email is just like Gmail.

I've used it for over two years.

No issues encountered.

It was extremely reliable.

No issues encountered.

It's non-existent.

There is a decent amount of information online about administering Google Apps, but more would be helpful.

Google Apps was the only email solution we used.

It was very simple.

We implemented it in-house.

If we hadn’t had this product, we wouldn’t have had email. I’m sure someone has figured out that email in a business actually has negative ROI, but we’re all going to keep using it anyway.

It was almost zero as we paid nothing for the licenses, and the setup cost was only a few hours of our time.

No we didn't as we were looking for a free and lightweight option, and Google Apps satisfied both.

If switching, practice with one unimportant mailbox first. If you’re starting afresh, just follow the instructions.

We do not make use of the software Enterprise, but only of the basic edition, such as Gmail and Google Docs. 

The solution helps us to collaborate. We can work and share files with our team. We also use Google Meet.

The permission and control should be addressed. It would also be nice to have additional software, such as Microsoft Teams, since our basic edition, Google Meet, cannot record video. 

It would be great if we could develop our own application by our site. 

I have been using G Suite Enterprise for around two or three years.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is scalable. 

We have rarely had occasion to make use of technical support, although we have had to do so for other Google products, such as Google app, in which case we found it to be quite good. Mainly, we handle the support on our own. 

The initial setup was simple.

We were capable of implementing on our own.

The solution requires of use some maintenance.

We just use the solution along with another software. 

There are around 200 users making use of the solution in our organization. We provide commentary and sell the solution to our clients. 

I rate G Suite Enterprises as an eight out of ten. 

We are using this solution for internal office collaboration, for example, shared documents and storage. We are also using Jira, and this is what supports our internal processes development, and support processes.

The valuable features of this solution are ease of use, performance is great, and collaboration. It is very easy to share and joins documents.

In some cases, we are using the Google Meet functions but only when we have external clients. Internally, we are using Slack. Google Meet virtual meeting function is not as advanced as the one in Slack and should improve.

There could be better integration between other platforms.

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

The solution is stable.

We have found that G Suite Enterprise has good scalability. We have 15 users using this solution in my organization.

We pay a monthly subscription for the use of this solution.

We evaluated the Microsoft package, but then we decided on this solution. We found it suited us better and the collaboration was easier.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate G Suite Enterprise an eight out of ten.

We tend to implement this solution for our clients. The solution is mainly used for email.

Most of our customers are using the basic version. 

A lot of the customers use Google Suite. They like the word processing, spreadsheets, database, and presenting tools of Google. Younger customers, newer companies, are more used to full Google. Google Docs, Google Spreadsheet, and so, on as they used it already as a student. They are quite comfortable with the solution and find it user-friendly and easy to navigate - more so than Microsoft, for example. 

The ability for multiple users to work in one document is very useful.

The Gmail search tool is excellent. They have the most powerful search tool of all the email managers I work with. They are much, much better than Outlook, for instance. The Outlook search machine is fairly poor actually. If you have a lot of emails and you will do a search, it misses a lot.

They are launching more and more features for mobile, which I understand our customers appreciate.

I am not a big fan of how Gmail organizes the mail. I find it complicated to see which mail from which users send at which date. Especially if there is a lot. 

We've been using the solution for about ten years or so. It's been a long time at this point.

The companies we work with are 100% small and medium-sized. We don't have any enterprise or corporate customers.

While I have never directly dealt with technical support from Google, from talking with my team, it is my understanding that they are quite good. I would say that we are satisfied with the level of support.

We've also worked with Microsoft. We mostly use that in my office.

Given how happy our customers have been with the solution, I would rate it at an eight out of ten.

We're a Google partner and we sell to our customers G Suite, or Google Works as it is called now. That's what we do. We're are also a Microsoft partner. We do a lot with Dynamics, Navision Microsoft Dynamics, and we're also a reseller of Microsoft 365. We do backup and disaster recovery in partnership with N‑able. All these things, we do as an MSP. We do remote monitoring as a platform solution where you buy the agents and you do your own management or we do it as an MSP where we do 24/7 management, for instance, of your server monitoring.

We are a managed service provider or a total IT service provider to the market. We do a variety of solutions, primarily for SMEs.

In terms of IT tools, we basically use Google Enterprise Solution to set up most of our services in Azure, whereas we use Azure Portal to set up all the VM, network, security, and everything else on it. Everyone is on remotely, in the system. We are using Google Chrome Enterprise for our email network, email link, and many of the apps there.

Email is one of the most important items, the others are collaboration, conferencing, and meetings. There would be more conferencing at meetings. Those are the main scenarios in which we use it.

The email, we believe, is what we like best. The email is excellent. It is simple to locate the information. We use it because it came from Microsoft Outlook, and the way Google tags information is very simple and easy to use.

Once you start using the collaborative platform in terms of creating the Excel document, both of us can be looking at the same time, they have a meeting look at the document, you and I can work on it at the same time, which is fantastic. 

We have a team of people working on these. In terms of collaboration, and simple ease of use, I think Google is good. There isn't much you need to work on in terms of security; it's pretty good in terms of how to be secure, ensuring that no one can hack the system, and so on. It appeared to be working well for us. We are also pleased with the enterprise support.

The space they provide is fantastic.

There is no such thing as being difficult to use.

The UI could be more graphic and sassy, but otherwise, it is quite functional.

We started working with G Suite Enterprise last year.

I can only recall one or two occasions when we lost access to Gmail. Aside from that, I haven't had any problems with that system. It is very stable.

I have never had to use technical support. The system is pretty simple to use.

With controlling the various groups, I never have to go into it. The integration with Google Drive and all those features in both sharing documents is very simple, as is creating a site to support different teams. I haven't reached that point where I have to contact support. They also have a lot of people, and a lot of videos to view and make it pretty simple.

I haven't had a reason to contact them. There is a good online community base for people who use these tools.

In terms of time, I'd say that it has been more than a couple of years since we used Google Chrome Enterprise. We swapped because of the number of people we have on the Enterprise, and I believe we started putting it on it last year to enable the network and securities.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward and simple.

Security-wise, grouping people, creating permissions, and so on are all very simple. Very simple to use

In terms of pricing, I don't deal with that area because it's on the outside. I just basically recommend the solutions we are using.

I am not aware of the pricing, other than I believe it is comparable to the majority of the system, but because we have been using it for so long, switching from one to the other is difficult.

The pricing is comparable, it's pretty decent. This is why we have been using this solution and haven't switched to anything else.

Before implementing it has to be appropriate for the model. Our thing is that there are a lot of us, and our work is done remotely. It has to be a good fit for how we do things. It all depends on how the enterprise is run. For us, it is extremely effective, mainly because of the collaboration, especially, because both of us are not in the same office talking. Having this collaboration is fantastic.

I would rate G Suite Enterprise a nine out of ten.
