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.

Email collaboration and accessibility have improved team productivity

The valuable features include the email service, email updates, and Google Drive. People are given email access to Google Drive. The team can share manual files and work accordingly. They can access different teams from anywhere, collectively putting files, sharing them, and managing them. Additionally, the manufacturing product does not require any downgrades. It works fine and continuously for the last three or four years. Users can access their emails from anywhere in their browser without a laptop or can directly access from Gmail. This is helpful for salespeople.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."

"The product is user-friendly and knows how to appeal to a user. Google Docs accepts some of our requirements. Its most valuable feature is performance. The product's integrations are good."

"The solution offers a workflow where we can collaborate and share documents. Its most valuable features are Gmail and Google Drive. Google Drive is great for file collaboration. It improves productivity. The product is on the cloud; we don't have to connect to the office through a VPN."

"In terms of email, I could probably do the same things with other programs, however, I find 90% of my usage is Gmail."

"Google seems to be a more stable environment than our current on-premise Microsoft solution that we're replacing."

"The solution helps us to collaborate."

"The tool helps me keep a backup of old emails. Like everyone else, I love the Google search engine for searching emails on webmail. The Google Workspace connector for Outlook works well, so I have no issues with that."

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

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

Cons

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

"Google could integrate Gemini AI with Google Workspace to enhance user experience."

"It takes a long time to import the data from G Suite into another platform."

"With Microsoft, you can use it on the web version, and you can use Microsoft Outlook. Google has the web version."

"Expensive with a complicated licensing structure."

"Integration with Microsoft Outlook could be improved."

"The synchronization is a bit of an issue."

"It would be nice to have additional software, such as Microsoft Teams, since our basic edition, Google Meet, cannot record video."

"G-Suite is excellent for what we're trying to do, but it could use some extra features. For example, it would be helpful if we had a seamless way to convert Excel macros to Google Sheets."

More Google Workspace cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"The pricing is comparable, it's pretty decent."

"There are different versions of the solution available, such as premium."

"We normally purchase the license on a yearly basis."

"The pricing is very high, although I cannot tell if this is the result of the Indian vendors artificially inflating it."

"I can't recall the exact pricing per user for Google Workspace, but I know it's not that expensive. I'm in a mid-sized company that's able to maintain and afford Google Workspace, so it has competitive pricing, and I would rate its price as four out of five."

"We have purchased an annual subscription."

"It's cheaper to run a couple of users in a Google platform than what it would be with Microsoft Exchange."

"Pricing is something concerning. We find the solution very expensive."
