Google Drive Enterprise Reviews

I used this solution for holding data files and sharing them. I stopped using it because I did not like being constrained within the Google environment.

The most valuable feature is the ability to share files.

I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for about three years.

I didn't experience any issues with stability.

This is a scalable solution.

I think that Google Drive Enterprise works for a lot of people but it didn't work for me.

I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

We use it to manage our enterprise accounts. We also use it for communications like email communication, video conferencing, et cetera. With Drive specifically, we use that for storing internal confidential documents or internal documentation that require an extra level of security.  

It provides a solution for secure document sharing that is not really matched by other similar solutions.  

I would say that spreadsheets (Sheets) and document (Docs) functionalities have been most useful. That is because it is easily tied in with the ability to choose who you share something with. I think that is really primarily what is most valuable to us. 

In a more general way and for our purposes, I would say having a little bit more control and clarity over what is shared and how it is shared would be a useful improvement. There are obviously controls already in the product for sharing and restrictions, but they could be more robust and flexible as far as assigning restrictions.  

Also, some of the features within Sheets could be enhanced. It is meant to be a replacement to Excel, but it really is not there yet as a product with equal capabilities as there are still quite a few limitations to the functionality.  

Aside from those few things, there is really not too much that I think needs to be added to the product to improve it. It is quite a simple product and that is kind of the beauty of it. There is not too much more that you could add to it that would really help and might just complicate it instead. I think it is quite a mature, simple, good solution.  

We have been using the product for about a year now in my current role with this company. I used it in previous roles and as a customer for several years before that.  

We have not had any issues with the stability of the product.  

There really are no issues with scalability. Storage is unlimited and it is on the cloud so it can scale automatically.  

Personally, I have not had a reason to put in a call to the technical support but the team that administers the account has. I know I have not heard any negative feedback. Response times are within the SLA (Service Level Agreement), so the service is as expected.  

The setup is really pretty straightforward.  

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

We did not really do any serious evaluations of products of this type before choosing to go with Drive Enterprise. I only previously looked at things like Dropbox which are pretty insecure solutions. I have used those things in the past but I have not used them for many years now because of the lack of better security features in them.  

My advice to people who are considering Google Drive Enterprise as a solution is to go ahead and use it. It is a good tool. It is secure. It is great for managing internal company documentation in a secure fashion.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate the product as about a nine-out-of-ten. To make it better than that it would really need to have some sort of revolutionary improvement that makes it step ahead of the entire class of products. I do not know what that would be. I, personally, very seldom give things 10-out-of-10 as I think perfection is something that is essentially unattainable.  

We primarily use the solution for internal file management and also for creating rooms or drives for clients.

The streamlining that an organization gets when using the solution is great. It saves a lot of space on the desktop because all of the files are in the cloud and don't need to be downloaded.

I don't know if it's already available, however, being able to set a period for which files can be available to people you share them with before the permissions disappear would be quite helpful.

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. 

I haven't been using the solution for too long in this current organization, however, I have worked with it extensively in the past.

The solution is quite stable.

The solution is very easy to scale.

We currently have about 300 people in our organization using it regularly. Virtually everyone uses it, including executive management. Analysts, sales, developers and finance teams are all on it.

We've never contacted technical support. I don't think we have any issues.

We have previously used Dropbox. However, it wasn't great for streamlining services.

The initial setup is quite simple. Users will find it very straightforward. There isn't even really any setup required. As soon as the domain was set up, it was ready to go.

We didn't evaluate another solution. I had already used Google privately and decided it was a good one to use to streamline and switch over to.

We're using the latest version of the solution. It's constantly updating itself. A user doesn't have to go and manually update the solution.

We use this solution on a daily basis and quite extensively.

Most organizations need to try it out. It's very straightforward. I'd suggest users go to Wix to get their domains, however, instead of Google, as Google can be quite expensive for that.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is for personal files and file storage. So basically I use the solution as long-term storage for photos, documents, or media files that we used over the years. 

What I like most about this solution, is the space feature that is used to store documents. I like it that I can store files to access whenever and wherever I want. I can access files on my laptop from anywhere. The other valuable feature is that the solution is fast and secure. The program runs seamlessly. I simply send my files to the cloud where they are stored, and I don't have to worry about losing my phone or laptop, I know exactly where they are. I don't have to use any other features in terms of sharing it, for instance.

I don't really see anything that needs to improve. I am not a very heavy user so I haven't had any issues with it. I think it does okay for the basics, for storing and saving files. Perhaps the security of files can be better.

The program is very stable. I've never seen it crash. 

I think Google is scalable by default. I know that from personal experience. I'm not a heavy user, so I think it's scalable.

There has never been need to contact their support team.

Yes, we did use a different solution, Google Cloud, so it was very similar software. I used Microsoft Drive as an alternative too. Google Drive is a great solution if you are on Gmail, so it's worth sticking with Gmail. Also, if you use an Android device that works with integration, the system runs seamlessly. Google Drive gives you a better storage amount in terms of it being your own storage unit and not others.

It is really easy to set it up on your personal laptop. But I am in government now, so we're not allowed to set up Google Drive. We're restricted and due to security measures Google Drive is not accessible in all areas. 

I'm an IT technician so I was responsible for the installation and deployment, which took me only about two minutes. 

The program is very affordable. I am just not sure what will happen if you forget to renew your license. Will you lose all your data? That is still unclear to me.

I will rate this solution an eight out of ten. I think there is a lot of distrust when it comes to giving your data to Google. They're a commercially based company, so putting anything on Google Drive might not be hundred percent secure and how will I know for sure that nothing's going to happen to my file? You don't have the assurance, so it's always a security issue when giving your files to Google Drive to store. I don't think security is Google's first priority, although it is a flexible, good software. That's why I give it eight.

Google Drive Enterprise is designed for different use cases. It is used for sharing with colleagues or teams. It is naturally easy to use and perfect for basic usability.

The solution provides access and manageability of storage.

Collaboration might be improved. In SharePoint, you have a structured directory, which makes it better for managing, organizing, and versioning documents. On the other hand, Jira is a bit more complicated and is more suitable for small companies. For large companies, SharePoint is better for collaboration.  

The biggest weakness is its connectivity and integration issues with Microsoft products. Many companies rely heavily on Microsoft Office, especially for Excel, and if a customer uses Google Drive, they need easy access to all these resources. For example, using Excel in Google Suite is not seamless; it can be difficult to edit and use, making the experience frustrating and unattractive.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for five years.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight or nine out of ten.

The solution is scalable. 50,000 users are using this solution.

Support is responsible for supporting every question, ticket, and incident related to Azure, Google Drive, and other associated services.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I use Google Drive for personal storage and organization of my documents, files, and other personal data.

The most valuable feature of Google Drive is its seamless integration across mobile devices and computers. Accessing and editing files from different platforms makes it incredibly convenient.

There could be some improvements in Google Drive, maybe in terms of user interface or additional features. Considering things like speech recognition or enhanced benefits in Google Cloud could be worth exploring for a better experience.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for a few months.

I would rate the stability as an eight out of ten. It could be a little faster.

I would rate the scalability as a ten out of ten.

The initial setup was very easy and I deployed the solution myself.

It is on the expensive side.

Overall, I would rate Google Drive Enterprise as an eight out of ten.
