I would recommend Google Workspace to other organizations due to its ease of setup, excellent help section for administrators, and outstanding searching facility within Gmail. The platform is very user-friendly and significantly reduces the workload of managing emails and data.
For new users, it is essential to thoroughly learn and utilize the collaboration features of Google Workspace. These features are what set it apart from other software solutions and significantly enhance productivity within a team. Do not treat it just like another online version of Microsoft Word; take full advantage of its collaborative tools. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The solution has AI features. I haven't used them, though. I prefer typing emails myself. I do not think that the AI-driven email sorting feature increases productivity. I recommend the tool for small and medium-sized businesses. It is a good product. It is useful. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
I would advise others to use Google Workspace because it's very intuitive. The entry threshold of the solution is not high. Some systems are very difficult to use and understand at the beginning, but it's quite the opposite in Google Workspace. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Google Workspace is good for everybody. Everyone can participate in editing documents. Moreover, you don't have to send any documents. You just need to log into your Google account, and you will have access. Likewise, you can access documents from anywhere if you have the Internet. I rate the solution an eight out of ten and recommend others use it.

I'm using the latest desktop version of Google Workspace, including the latest iOS version on my iPhone. I'm using the latest Gmail and Google Calendar versions. As Google Workspace is on the cloud, it doesn't require any maintenance. If I have any problems, I can call and get support. At one point, my company had quite a few users of Google Workspace, though that number was under ten. Right now, I'm the only one using the solution, but I use it multiple times daily. I plan to increase my product usage, but that would depend on the business. My advice to anyone planning to use Google Workspace is to use it because it's a great platform. It's a great system. I'd give Google Workspace a solid nine, but if there's a bit of improvement in it, then it's a ten. I'm a Google Workspace customer, not a partner.
If you want to get something just for personal use, it is okay. For a corporation, in terms of traceability and making sure you can get your information if something goes wrong, it's brutal. The infrastructure is not intuitive and technical support isn't great. When you've got issues, and you need to restore information or back information up, it's a nightmare. Even when you're exporting information out from the Workspace, when it exports it, you look at it, and it's just a mess. I would not recommend this solution to others. I'd rate it one out of ten.
We are end-users and customers. I would recommend it based on the ease of use, and for beginners or people who are only used to having personal emails and stuff like that. New users won't face any difficulty as they will be pretty much used to working on it on a personal level. However, for big enterprises or more professional organizations, I would still recommend Microsoft. Overall, I would rate it seven out of ten.
We are using the latest version of the product. If your company is heavily into Excel or Powerpoint, it's best to stay with Microsoft. However, Google is a decent option for those who do not need these two applications so much. I'd rate it seven out of ten.
I rate G Suite nine out of 10. I highly recommend it. Google email services have been helpful for us. I worked for the second-largest public university in Costa Rica, and there was a need to have thousands of active email addresses. It's complex to configure all of them yourself and maintain an email server. Google email offered an effortless way to implement the email for more than 20,000 different addresses that needed to be opened every year. I would say Google Mail must be the most used application globally. Google Mail is a great application, and the service is suitable for personal or enterprise use.

I'm not the direct implementer of the product. I just looked into the features inside, however, I did not directly set up G-Suite and therefore I can't be sure if it's a cloud-based deployment. We are just customers and end-users. We don't have a partnership with Google. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. When I compare it to the Microsoft offering, it's pretty good.
I rate G Suite nine out of 10. If it weren't for G Suite's compatibility problems with PowerPoint, I would rate it a perfect 10. PowerPoint files are often broken when we convert. Nevertheless, I recommend that companies use cloud-based applications as much as possible. PowerPoint doesn't allow you to cooperate with other colleagues simultaneously. That's the deciding factor. On a desktop solution, it's hard to pull together a project with multiple parts where one person is working on each.

If you're in a similar situation to us, with a small company, especially a startup or maybe a small team that needs to manage their corporate email, team email, their documents, and have access to some web-conferencing software and so on, it's a good tool. It takes a few minutes and you're set up, with all the infrastructure. We were creating our own domain to create our corporate emails and we could have gone for Microsoft or Google. My preference would have been Microsoft, but for some reason, from our country, that wasn't an option. For user experience, G Suite is still a good solution.

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.

G Suite Enterprise is a good option for startups. It's low in cost as compared to Office 365, and there is no difference. They are almost equal to each other if we keep performance aside, and it's a stable product. So, I recommend this product for startups and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

We are just users and customers. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. If the solution had fewer formatting issues on Microsoft to Google uploads, and if I used Google Keep more, I might rate it higher. If you don't use anything, it's always between this option and Office 365. For a smaller company, G Suite is easy to set up. I would assume it's quite straightforward. Microsoft might be better for a larger organization. In general, however, the whole setup is pretty easy to use.

I would recommend this solution. It is quite a good product. Our requirements are very basic, and it fully satisfies our requirements. We plan to keep using it for the time being. I would rate G Suite Enterprise a seven out of ten.
This is a good product, it is really scalable, and I definitely recommend it. This is a really good investment and there are many features that we have not yet exploited. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
From information security, that is, confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) as well as stability and reliability point of view, G Suite is the product to go for. I would rate G Suite Enterprise a nine out of ten.
I would rate it an eight out of ten. Google is trying to implement a telephone system on top of it. I would say, wait and see, because that's a new product, and wait and see if it's going to work and if it's going to cause you problems.
We're just customers; we don't have a business relationship with Google. There's always going to be a decision to either go with a G Suite, Microsoft Office, or some other open-source platform like Open Office. I would suggest G Suite to someone who's considering making a move, especially if they are a new enterprise. They need to consider carefully who they're going to be interacting with in terms of clients. Does it make sense for them to pay the premium price and go to the Microsoft Suite because of the nature of the work they're doing? It depends on the situation. If I was doing a lot of legal work with a lot of documentation back and forth, I wouldn't even think twice. I'd only use Microsoft. However, if I'm doing a lot of other sorts of work where I need to have collaboration, I would hands down choose G Suite. If I'm not worried about collaboration and I just want cheap and cheerful, I would probably go to Open Office. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I'm just a customer. I'm not sure of the version I'm currently using. I just use the business G Suite. I believe it's always the latest version that's available. The only thing I use in G Suite is Gmail, Drive and the Calendar and that's about it. I'm not really using Google Ads. I do a little bit of YouTube stuff, but I'm fixing to convert that into putting the videos on my website. I just recently also used Google Voice. In terms of advice to other companies, I'd caution that it's very difficult to use effectively. Users need to really make sure they're going to have to be able to vertically integrate it. If you're using Microsoft Office and Google together, you might want to just consider how to stay within the Microsoft Office platform. If you're going to use Google, you need to consider how you integrate that entirely inside your business. I would rate the solution five out of ten. There's a lot of opportunity in Google, however, their biggest two problems are that they don't do a very good job of protecting the privacy of the individual that's using G Suite, and it needs to be more intuitive and easier to implement.

There's always room for improvement but it works fairly well for what we need. The conference systems can always be improved of course, but it works quite well for most of the functions we use. Obviously, it's not perfect. Everything can always be better of course, but we are quite satisfied with it. There is a cost per user, per month. It depends on how many users they have in the system. It's a decent cost anyway. It feels quite okay for what we get for it. It's simple and easy to get working and started. You don't really need to locally install stuff, you have the browser and that's it. It's easy to set up and it's fairly flexible. There are a lot of apps in it like Meet or collaboration tools. It works well and we have been using it daily. It seems to be a robust and working system. We are quite happy with it. I would recommend it. I would rate it an eight out of ten. We haven't had any main problems with it. It's more like it could be hard sometimes to find your way through all the settings and using things like that. It's a flexible system, in general it's hassle-free. In the next release, I would like to see more encryption of documents, mail, and things like that. There should be a better way to encrypt mail and documents that are pushed through this system. That would be some improvement or additional features that could be good to have.

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.

The solution is on Google's public cloud. Currently, the solution is serving its purpose and I don't know if there are any enhancements needed. I'd rate it nine out of ten.
Many people don't understand that when you are migrating to a company, you don't need to use software for mail, and you don't need to have software to open Gmail. It's the main feature. For me, this solution and the setup is easy, but for some people who do not have the experience, they see features and don't know what they are used for. For the Cloud, people are using Active Directory or Outlook, but they should also consider Gmail. As an administrator, you don't have to manage mail software and local mail storage. When people are using Office 365 Suites online and they come from Outlook to the online version, they don't like it. Gmail is made specifically to be used through a web browser. For some people, it's a con, but for me, it's a pro. In France, many people are using old products and they have to use Microsoft Office, but for new companies, they are using new online modern software. When I meet with some of these companies, I push them toward using G Suite and Gmail. Microsoft was the top in IT, and they were beaten by Okta with regards to the single sign-on, and Gmail could do a single-sign-on earlier than Microsoft. I would recommend this product. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
I am completely satisfied with G Suite. It has a powerful set of messaging and collaboration tools comprising a range of applications. The components that I use most are its Slides presentation application, the Sheets spreadsheet editor, the Docs word processor, and the file storage platform, Drive.
Similar to G Suite, all Google Workspace plans provide a custom email for your business and include collaboration tools like Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Chat, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, and more.
As we’ve evolved G Suite into a more integrated experience across our communication and collaboration tools, we’ve rebranded to Google Workspace to more accurately represent the product vision.
I'd rate the solution five out of ten.
Improvements are needed in the area of document functionalities where Microsoft Word is still superior to Google documents. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

However, if I'm doing a lot of other sorts of work where I need to have collaboration, I would hands down choose G Suite. If I'm not worried about collaboration and I just want cheap and cheerful, I would probably go to Open Office. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
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.
Individuals need to explore the options based on their business needs. G Suite has building forms, online forms, reports, everything like that. It's just a matter of exploring it and understanding your requirements. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. It still requirements some improvements in order to catch up to Microsoft.
I'm just a customer. I'm not sure of the version I'm currently using. I just use the business G Suite. I believe it's always the latest version that's available. The only thing I use in G Suite is Gmail, Drive and the Calendar and that's about it. I'm not really using Google Ads. I do a little bit of YouTube stuff, but I'm fixing to convert that into putting the videos on my website. I just recently also used Google Voice. In terms of advice to other companies, I'd caution that it's very difficult to use effectively. Users need to really make sure they're going to have to be able to vertically integrate it. If you're using Microsoft Office and Google together, you might want to just consider how to stay within the Microsoft Office platform. If you're going to use Google, you need to consider how you integrate that entirely inside your business. I would rate the solution five out of ten. There's a lot of opportunity in Google, however, their biggest two problems are that they don't do a very good job of protecting the privacy of the individual that's using G Suite, and it needs to be more intuitive and easier to implement.
There's always room for improvement but it works fairly well for what we need. The conference systems can always be improved of course, but it works quite well for most of the functions we use. Obviously, it's not perfect. Everything can always be better of course, but we are quite satisfied with it. There is a cost per user, per month. It depends on how many users they have in the system. It's a decent cost anyway. It feels quite okay for what we get for it. It's simple and easy to get working and started. You don't really need to locally install stuff, you have the browser and that's it. It's easy to set up and it's fairly flexible. There are a lot of apps in it like Meet or collaboration tools. It works well and we have been using it daily. It seems to be a robust and working system. We are quite happy with it. I would recommend it. I would rate it an eight out of ten. We haven't had any main problems with it. It's more like it could be hard sometimes to find your way through all the settings and using things like that. It's a flexible system, in general it's hassle-free. In the next release, I would like to see more encryption of documents, mail, and things like that. There should be a better way to encrypt mail and documents that are pushed through this system. That would be some improvement or additional features that could be good to have.
I would recommend any company carry out a good profiling of the people who are going to be migrated to the solution, and to implement a good change management adoption in order to have everyone on board. If you do this you have satisfied users and they are the ones who are going to rely on the tool and get all the advantages the tool provides. I would rate this solution a seven out of 10.
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.
The solution is on Google's public cloud. Currently, the solution is serving its purpose and I don't know if there are any enhancements needed. I'd rate it nine out of ten.
Many people don't understand that when you are migrating to a company, you don't need to use software for mail, and you don't need to have software to open Gmail. It's the main feature. For me, this solution and the setup is easy, but for some people who do not have the experience, they see features and don't know what they are used for. For the Cloud, people are using Active Directory or Outlook, but they should also consider Gmail. As an administrator, you don't have to manage mail software and local mail storage. When people are using Office 365 Suites online and they come from Outlook to the online version, they don't like it. Gmail is made specifically to be used through a web browser. For some people, it's a con, but for me, it's a pro. In France, many people are using old products and they have to use Microsoft Office, but for new companies, they are using new online modern software. When I meet with some of these companies, I push them toward using G Suite and Gmail. Microsoft was the top in IT, and they were beaten by Okta with regards to the single sign-on, and Gmail could do a single-sign-on earlier than Microsoft. I would recommend this product. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
I am completely satisfied with G Suite. It has a powerful set of messaging and collaboration tools comprising a range of applications. The components that I use most are its Slides presentation application, the Sheets spreadsheet editor, the Docs word processor, and the file storage platform, Drive.
A great innovation from one of the best tech leaders in the industry.
