A great collaboration service for small organizations

The synchronization should be simplified. Other solutions like Dropbox and OneDrive have apps. I tried using the mobile version, but it didn't work properly, that needs to be improved. It was cumbersome. It's a good solution for a small organization like ours, but it really depends on your use-cases and the size of your organization. I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app. It was challenging to even download it and once I did, I wasn't even able to log into my system. The mobile app needs to improved for easy use.

Offers valuable features like synchronization and backup

Some time ago, I faced issues with Google Drive Enterprise, but it is not related to the tool and was more of a problem associated with Android. At the end of the day, I had to contact Google's support team to deal with the issue associated with the capacity offered by the solution. Google's support team held me for free, and they helped me change the location from the US because the mobile app factory showed that the activation work was done in the US. Google's team helped me move the location to Spain. Google's support was fast, knowledgeable, and customer-friendly. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

"The vendor must increase awareness about the tool among the common people."

"If somebody has made changes, for example, there should be a timestamp. Also, if two or three people are working and someone deletes something, a mechanism to retrieve the previous version should be available."

"I want better support, and I expect quicker support for any issues."

"The thing I would change is the pricing. We are a small company, and we have to pay the price for the full Enterprise version because we use some features that are only available on top-tier subscriptions."

"Wasabi is better for scalability aspects because it is limitless."

"A separate interface to give users a summary of how they've shared items on the drive would be useful. You can end up having a lot of stuff and the sheer amount can end up making users feel a little bit lost in terms of knowing who they've actually shared items with."

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

"Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"I use the free version."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."

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

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

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

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

"Google Drive's price is lower than competitors. I have two accounts, including one with Apple that I use to manage some pictures and contact. I use Apple Cloud for only this purpose. I use Google Drive for everything else. Compared to Google, the price of Dropbox is high and the solution isn't good."

"I use the free version."
