Collaboration works seamlessly and automation supports efficient file sharing

I work as a software engineer in fraud prevention projects where I function primarily as a data engineer. I work with data warehouses, which are centralized storage systems where transactions through databases occur and data from various client sources is consolidated. Amazon WorkDocs can be integrated with AWS Lambda and used with step functions. If publishing with SNS, WorkDocs can subscribe to SNS as well. The integration capabilities of WorkDocs with other AWS services are strong. For access, we use Okta with our AWS account, and we can only log in through our laptops. We authenticate and access whatever services we are authorized to use from the company. Mobile access is not allowed. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon WorkDocs an 8.

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

"For content sharing, it provides automation features that can be customized according to needs, which are some of the best features that I appreciate."

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

"Google Workspace is an excellent tool for communicating with people, which allows users to collaborate and edit files simultaneously."

"G Suite Enterprise is scalable."

"A complete integrated environment for our business. I get Google docs, Gmail, online space, and calendar where I can easily perform all documentation, storage, and communications online."

"If I'm addressing certain emails from banks — automatic emails, like OTP, etc. — I can create rules and forward that OTP to the specific email IDs. You can create rules and deliver mail to different groups using the forwarding feature. It's handy."

"The initial setup of Google Workspace is straightforward."

"The solution is stable."

"The stability of Google Workspace is excellent and very solid."

"Google Apps for Business and Skype for Business are the perfect solutions for every business thriving online. It is very easy and inexpensive to get work done with these applications online."

More Google Workspace pros

Cons

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."

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

"There's a bit of a learning curve."

"Google Workspace needs to be more flexible, like Microsoft Excel."

"In Google Meet, there is no feature for recording a meeting. It should have a feature for recording."

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

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

"Better integration without visual misrepresentation with the Microsoft suite is required."

"I would rate the stability a five out of ten."

"To a degree, the project management service could be improved."

More Google Workspace cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"The price per client within the business is too high."

"The price of G Suite Enterprise is reasonable compared to HotSpot. I'm not going to say G Suite Enterprise is affordable. It's valuable, you find value in paying your gas bill or your electricity bill, because of what it allows you to do."

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

"I give the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."

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

"I rate Google Workspace's pricing five to six out of ten. We do not pay any extra costs."

"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"You pay for Google Workspace based on your usage and the apps you use, but in my case, it's free, but if I used it a lot more, I'd probably need to pay. 15GB is enough for me, but I see myself upgrading and paying the additional charges for more storage regularly."
