User interface has improved navigation but demands clearer organization for consistent workflows
There is one product for operating system called Google Chrome OS Flex. Google Chrome Enterprise generally updates in the background with a button that appears for relaunching to update. The updates are frequent, occurring every two or three days. While tab history is saved, it can be inconvenient to close and reopen all tabs. When an update occurs, a button appears on Google Chrome Enterprise indicating the need to relaunch. This requires closing all Chrome windows before updating. Google Chrome Enterprise is simple to install. For Google Cloud services, installation is not necessary as services are created directly on the cloud. It is currently running on public cloud. I don't have anything deployed on other clouds, only GCP. I have rated this solution 6 out of 10.

Decreased our security alerts without impacting employees' work
I can't say that there is one specific feature that is most valuable. It's the overall platform that is well-suited to our needs. It's something that is different from a lot of other products or platforms in the marketplace. It provides a single console for security policy and management. That is somewhat important because we used to have other products where you would have to log in to individual appliances, devices, or clusters. Having one spot to log in to or one area to go to for doing different tasks and viewing data sources, just makes it easier from a user perspective. Also, the fact that it's invisible to our end-users and doesn't affect their work is very important. Most companies don't want to have added friction or impact on their users. In addition, the combination of user-friendliness for admins, and security for the organization, works well. As a cloud-hosted solution, it provides ease of use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The breadth and capability of the various extensions and plug-ins that are out there for Chrome to do additional things on top of just working in the browser are fantastic."
"It has been working pretty well for us...By and large, things are pretty stable."
"Google Chrome Enterprise provides ease of management for users and regular updates."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I am using Google Admin console for managing my devices; it is actually convenient and I am using that for managing multiple accounts and parent accounts."
"We use the product to run applications and devices."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The best aspects of Google Chrome Enterprise are its compatibility with everything, smooth management, and frequent security patching, which I find nice to use."
"Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine."
"I can't say that there is one specific feature that is most valuable. It's the overall platform that is well-suited to our needs. It's something that is different from a lot of other products or platforms in the marketplace."
 

Cons

"The performance could be faster."
"I wish there was a way that they could update things a little less often if anything. I think a lot of enterprise customers are frustrated... Certain plug-ins like ad blockers will lose some functionality in the next quarter to half a year."
"Additional data security and data privacy features could be proactively recommended by Google."
"Setting up anything resembling a shared inbox is still kind of a giant pain in the solution."
"The solution's interface is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging since Chrome consistently strives to enhance itself. One aspect I'd like to highlight is virtualization. For instance, if you require desktop-based applications like Cisco or Adobe products on your local machine, Chrome's support is limited. While they offer Linux solutions for virtualization, my query or request would be to expand this to include Windows-based applications. If this were implemented, it would be a valuable enhancement, encouraging broader adoption by companies."
"The updates are frequent, occurring every two or three days. While tab history is saved, it can be inconvenient to close and reopen all tabs."
"There is a need for improved features to refine search results and narrow them down efficiently."
"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."
"There are several features, such as supporting web technologies, that the company is working on implementing in the platform. There are a lot of backend web technologies in use on various websites, for example, two-way audio/video and WebGL, for which support may not be fully implemented in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product price is very good in my opinion."
"Pricing varies significantly based on different regions and specific requirements. The cost can differ for the Euro price as opposed to the Asia-specific price. Generally, the standard pricing falls within the range of twenty-five to thirty dollars per license. This payment can be structured on a monthly or yearly basis. Opting for the yearly payment plan often comes with an added discount, either directly from Google or through negotiations with your vendor."
"Yearly payments are to be made towards the licensing costs of Google Chrome Enterprise. It is not an expensive solution. I rate the solution's pricing model a six out of ten. There is a need to pay an extra cost in addition to the solution's standard licensing fees."
"So all I can say is just for us since we just recently re-upped our three-year contract for Google Education Enterprise, whatever the name is for their highest level enterprise...I found the pricing to be pretty reasonable overall."
"We are on a monthly subscription for this solution."
"Google Chrome Enterprise is a medium-priced solution."
"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
