User-friendly, with great photo backup feature
Pros and Cons
  • "I also use OneDrive, but I prefer Google Drive because it's available on many platforms and devices, so it gives a wide variety for backups, especially on Android systems."
  • "The desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment."

What is our primary use case?

I use Google Drive on my phone for backups.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the backup of photos and the user-friendliness. It's also useful to have Google's version of Office embedded in the app, as it allows you to view your files directly from your Google Drive online.

What needs improvement?

The limit on the storage size could be expanded, and the desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for five to six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Google Drive is stable.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also use OneDrive, but I prefer Google Drive because it's available on many platforms and devices, so it gives a wide variety for backups, especially on Android systems. However, OneDrive's desktop app is better because it's embedded in Windows, and you directly back up your PC to OneDrive while working in your Microsoft account.

How was the initial setup?

Google Drive is easy to install, especially on Android phones where Google's services are linked in.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Google Drive is free.

What other advice do I have?

I would give Google Drive a score of eight out of ten.

Simple to use and easy to understand with a great user interface
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution secures the data well."
  • "I would like to see larger storage capabilities."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for storing and exchanging data.

What is most valuable?

The solution secures the data well. It also offers good storage.

The initial setup is easy.

It's very stable and reliable. 

The product is simple to use and easy to understand. The user interface is great. It's well organized for the most part.

What needs improvement?

I have not found any areas as of right now for improvement.

I would like to see larger storage capabilities. 

If they could continue to design it to make it easier and easier to use, that would be ideal. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for more than four or five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would say the solution is stable. I haven't experienced issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. I have found it to be reliable. 

How are customer service and support?

I'm satisfied with technical support, however, I haven't really used them that much. 

How was the initial setup?

It's pretty clear and very easy to set up if you follow the steps that automatically direct you. The first step is very easy. You just go through step by step. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

As of right now, I am using the free version of the solution. I don't pay for it at all. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I've never looked into other options, however, I'd be open to exploring them.

What other advice do I have?

I'm a customer.

We use the solution in the cloud and on-premises.

It's convenient to share documents or download shared documents
Pros and Cons
  • "I'm satisfied with the basic function. it's convenient to share documents or download shared documents you need."
  • "I had some issues with permissions at first. I have to ask for Drive permissions because I'm a new doctoral student. Sometimes I have to ask for permission because I can't access this kind of document, but recently they fixed that by adding me to their team. Now I can access any document that my department supervisors and staff share on Drive."

What is our primary use case?

I use Google Drive to share documents like meeting minutes with my doctoral supervisor and other people in my lab. I just started my doctorate, so I'm doing some literature reviews, and I have to take some notes about my supervisor's plan for four months and what we should discuss. 

You can integrate Slack with Google Drive to share documents in Slack. For example, the supervisor can check the minutes and notes by clicking a link I provide in Slack. I post the notes for the article I'm reviewing, then my supervisor can check what I have read and my current profiles. Sometimes when we have seminars and presentations, the presenters will share slides on Google Drive.

What is most valuable?

I'm satisfied with the basic function. it's convenient to share documents or download shared documents you need.

What needs improvement?

I had some issues with permissions at first. I have to ask for Drive permissions because I'm a new doctoral student. Sometimes I have to ask for permission because I can't access this kind of document, but recently they fixed that by adding me to their team. Now I can access any document that my department supervisors and staff share on Drive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used Google Drive off and on for three years while I was getting my master's degree. When I started my doctorate, the supervisor set up a Shared Drive for me, so I've been using Google Drive regularly from September 2021 until now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I'm never sure if the problem is with Google Drive or my browser. Sometimes, it takes a long time loading, but I'm not sure we should blame Google Drive. Browsers react differently. I open Google Drive in Safari and sometimes the "Back" button doesn't function well, especially when logging in.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think Google Drive is easy to scale, but I have a student account with limited storage, so I have to file a request to my department if I want to scale. But students don't upload large documents to Google Drive or store lots of pictures and videos. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I'm Chinese, so I used some Chinese products that have a similar function, but sharing in Google Drive is more convenient. I think it works for a multidisciplinary team. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Google Drive eight out of 10. I would give it a higher rating, but it's not stable on my Safari browser. When I do something, I want to finish it very quickly, but Google Drive loads slowly in Safari.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Google

Good for sharing, searching and storage share
Pros and Cons
  • "Low maintenance solution."
  • "Record your meeting and simply share with anyone without thinking where to store the file."
  • "Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking."

What is our primary use case?

We utilize the Drive Enterprise for sharing, the search drive and the storage share.

What is most valuable?

The ease of user sharing information among people in the organization is the most valuable feature of this solution.

For example, when you have a meeting, you can record it and then simply share with anyone you would like. You don't have to think about where to put the file, everything is semi-automatic, everything is functional.

What needs improvement?

Microsoft Teams has a lot more features than Google. Google Meet allows you to collaborate by drawing on a whiteboard while talking in the meeting, however it is primitive and not user friendly as it is a bit challenging to try to demonstrate using the whiteboard.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Google Drive since day one of our organization.

How are customer service and support?

Google Drive Enterprise is a low maintenance solution.

What other advice do I have?

If you don't need the added features of Microsoft Teams, Google Meet will satisfy the needs of collaboration and discussion. It is a good integration of Google. There has been no problems or issues. I would give it a 9 out of 10.

Excellent performance, feature rich, easy to scale, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology."
  • "When compared to Commvault or Veeam, I'm not sure what Google Drive has to offer in terms of backing up data on the cloud or in a data center for a large organization."

What is our primary use case?

I use Google Drive Enterprise for my personal use. I back up my files, photos, and other information I have stored on my mobile device, as well as my daily tasks, or whatever is done on my computer are backed up on my drive.

What is most valuable?

Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology.

Google Drive Enterprise is easy to use.

What needs improvement?

Personally, I can't say what I don't like about Google Drive Enterprise because I haven't discovered anything better.

The price could be lower.

When compared to Commvault or Veeam, I'm not sure what Google Drive has to offer in terms of backing up data on the cloud or in a data center for a large organization.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Google Drive for personal use for nine to ten years, and I've been a premium user for the last two years.

I'm using the most recent version. I use the web version rather than the app.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Google Drive Enterprise is a stable product.

Google Drive's performance is one of my favorite features. It doesn't take long to load, and everything happens instantly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I currently have more than 300 GB of data on my Google Drive. I don't believe that scaling would be an issue. It's easy to scale.

How are customer service and support?

We have never had any issues that required assistance from technical support.

How was the initial setup?

When using their web version, no setup is required. If I'm using an Android app, for example, I only need to configure my storage. In Google Drive, I have to define my storage and what I want to back up, and it backs it up ahead of time.

Because it's for personal use, I haven't had any issues with it, such as difficulty setting it up or anything like that. It's not like Veeam or a formal setup that requires many machines for that environment.

I am not using it on a large scale, it's for my personal usage only.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The licensing fees are not cheap, but when you compare it to other products and the features it provides, it's reasonable.

The costs could be lower, but they are reasonable for the value they provide.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The management in my company has just decided to switch over to cloud backup solutions, which is why I have been researching the various websites for products that are best for my use.

I am exploring, but management will review the information and make a decision. I don't know what they're going to decide, so I don't have a say in it.

What other advice do I have?

My family does not have access to the credentials, but if they needed something backed up or saved, they would just give it to me to store safely on my cloud.

For personal use, I would definitely recommend this solution.

I would rate Google Drive Enterprise a ten out of ten.

Versatile, extremely useful, and is quite stable
Pros and Cons
  • "When we collaborate on a team project, everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the project."
  • "There are a few kinks to work out at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple and extremely useful."

What is our primary use case?

Because we work on projects, Google Drive is extremely versatile. It is interchangeable among users, and every one can edit at different times.

What is most valuable?

We are all in different parts of the world. When we collaborate on a team project, everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the project. There is a team leader who reviews and edits everything before we all get credit. It's pretty cool. I'm from a different era and teaching myself.

It's pretty straightforward. You have to have the right mindset for it, but it's pretty simple.

What needs improvement?

There are a few kinks to work out at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple and extremely useful.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Google Drive Enterprise is quite stable.

How are customer service and support?

I have not contacted technical support.

If I have an issue, members of my group navigate me through it. I have never had to contact them.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The University of Phoenix provides it. I've never had to pay any fees.

What other advice do I have?

I'm happy with how things are going right now because I'm getting used to them. That's probably a question for later, when I am more acquainted with my business. I'm hoping to graduate in May, and I need to write a 40-page dissertation. This is a tutorial of what is to come for me.

Google Drive is popular in this generation because it is so interchangeable. People can look into your documents if you provide them with a password.

Personally, I believe it is a great solution for businesses, but it all depends on how many people you have working for you and what your main goal is.

It brings a project together, which is wonderful.

The world today fascinates me. I remember encyclopedias and going to the library to look at Microfiche.

I think that it is fabulous. I have my own practice. I am in Social Services. This information is good for me and the people I network with. I can bring anybody, I want in, I can create documents and have others look at it and give me advice. I enjoy Good Drive.

I would rate Google Drive Enterprise a ten out of ten.
