Google Workspace Reviews

The product is a SaaS platform that helps us work remotely from anywhere in the world with just internet access. We can send emails and collaborate with friends. It is a secure workspace.

Google Chat is the most valuable feature of the solution. We can communicate with our domain users effectively. We can share documents and content and have quick meetings. We can collaborate with friends securely and seamlessly without downtime.

The product could improve the number of participants allowed in a meeting and the strength of the meetings. It can also improve the sending limit.

I have been using the solution for the last four years.

The tool is stable, secure, and seamless.

The product is scalable. Around 400 users are using the product in our organization.

I have asked many questions to the support team when there are any struggles with email deliveries. The support provided was satisfactory.

The deployment is a lengthy process.

The deployment process depends on the platform we use. If we had used a different platform before, we would have had to migrate users’ drive, email, and calendar data to Google Workspace. These processes then lead to change management because most users are unfamiliar with it. I don’t need staff members to deploy the solution.

The time taken for deployment depends on the user base. If there are 300 users, it can be done within 15 days. The solution does not require maintenance, but an administrator is required to manage the users, configurations, and policies.

The product provides updates on a regular basis. We chose the product because Google is growing in its user base and security. The tool is easy to use, and we can leverage the product. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I utilize Google Workspace for my active files. I personally prefer to store all my files on Google as it allows me to access them from any device, provided I have an internet connection. The benefit of using Google apps is that they function similarly across all platforms, so it doesn't matter which device I'm using, as it all works seamlessly.

The most valuable feature of Google Workspace is its ease of use and stability.

Google Workspace has limitations as a document or file management system. Without a workspace account, manual actions are required to perform tasks such as managing groups of people. Additionally, managing permissions individually is a time-consuming and inefficient process. It's difficult to articulate, but the process is not very streamlined.

I have been using Google Workspace for approximately 10 years.

I have only seen the solution go down twice in my usage, it is stable.

My university used Google Workspace for approximately 50,000 students.

The free version does not have support. However, if you are using the paid version the support is good and quick.

The setup is easy. However, the help files could improve.

I did the deployment of the solution myself.

The price of the solution can vary.

We have one person for the maintenance of the solution.

I rate Google Workspace an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case for the solution is for email, worksheets, documents and presentations. We deploy the solution on cloud.

We find the practicality of the solution valuable.

The solution needs to be more user-friendly and improve its tools and features. Additionally, access to the specific tools inside the application is not easy to understand, so you need to go through many menus to find out what is needed for particular tasks. It's not easy in Microsoft Office because everything you see can be visualized. It's faster and simpler to use the tools, but in Google Docs, we need to work around many of them and understand how they work and the functions required for the Worksheet application.

We have been using the solution for approximately two years and are currently using the latest version.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

We do not have experience with customer service and support.

The initial setup is easy because it's all pre-configured, so there's no problem configuring the tool. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten.

I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. I recommend the solution for users considering it because it is easy to use but doesn't have other features from Microsoft Office.

I don't use Google Workspace frequently, but when I do, it's mainly for scheduling meetings. For example, when I have meetings with lecturers or with classmates for scheduled discussions.

The solution could improve by having more frequent updates.

I have been using Google Workspace for approximately three years.

The solution is stable if there is a good internet connection. 

I rate the stability of Google Workspace a ten out of ten.

We have approximately 100 people using the solution in my organization. We plan to increase our usage in the future.

I rate the scalability of Google Workspace a ten out of ten.

I have not used the support.

I have not used a similar solution prior to Google Workspace.

The initial setup of Google Workspace is straightforward.

I rate the initial setup of Google Workspace a ten out of ten.

The implementation of the solution was done in-house. We have five people able to do the deployment of the solution. The team consists of developers and lecturers.

We have seen an ROI because it provides good services.

I rate the ROI of Google Workspace a ten out of ten.

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

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Google Workspace a ten out of ten.

I use it for mail purposes. I use Gmail and I use it for mailing people. I also use Google Slides for presentations and Google Sheets for data. It also has Google Docs, which I use for documents. 

Its user interface is great. It's user-friendly. You don't have to look for support when using it. 

Even the presentations and the docs, when you need formatting, it's all available there. Its reliability is very good and it syncs with the cloud. 

We can mutually work on a document. It's great for real-time editing. 

The initial setup is very easy.

I haven't come across any area that's really lacking. 

I'm not sure if Google Drive has a customizing feature, however, if it did, then it would be better. We'd like the flexibility of customizing the way you want it to look.

The solution is very stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is good. 

It is a very scalable product. If you need to expand, it's not hard. 

We might have about 90,000 people using the solution.

I've never had to contact technical support. 

The setup was very simple and straightforward. The deployment was on the cloud, so I did not have to do much. All I needed to do was activate the account to be set up and everything was on the cloud already. You just need a password and username to get started. 

I don't deal with licensing. I can't speak to the exact cost. 

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. 

I'd recommend the solution as it is very easy to use. I'd rate it a nine out of ten based on its user-friendliness and easy setup.

We've been using Google Workspace mostly for emails. We've also been using it for collaboration purposes.

What I like most about Google Workspace is the Google Drive app because you can easily access it from anywhere and from any device. I also find the solution easy to use. It's user-friendly.

What needs improvement in Google Workspace is the Google Drive app, in particular, making the process of finding the shared and most used files and folders easier. The first time you get an invite to view a file or folder in Google Drive and you view that folder or file, it's pretty easy, but the next time you try to access it again, sometimes, it's a bit difficult to find what was shared with you.

An additional feature I'd like to see in Google Workspace is the option to un-send messages in Gmail. Microsoft has a message recall feature, and this isn't available in Gmail, so it's the feature I'd like to be added to Gmail.

I've been using Google Workspace for more than five years now.

Google Workspace is a stable solution. There was only one instance when I couldn't access it, and the whole world couldn't access it as well, so overall, I find Google Workspace to be a very stable solution.

Google Workspace is a very scalable solution.

I didn't directly interact with the Google Workspace technical support team, but I'm not aware of any concerns about the support, so it's okay. At the moment, there's no problem with Google Workspace support.

Setting up and deploying Google Workspace is easy as it's done on the web. It's a simple process, and on a scale of one to five, with one being difficult and five being easy, I'm rating the setup and deployment of Google Workspace a five.

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.

I used Microsoft as well, but I prefer Google Workspace because of its ease of use and accessibility.

My company has around one hundred fifty users of Google Workspace.

I'm rating Google Workspace eight out of ten.

My company is a customer of Google Workspace.

I mainly use G Suite for collaboration, online meetings, document sharing, and email.

G Suite's most valuable feature is document sharing.

Improvements to G Suite would be the ability to collaborate more easily and better quality video compression in Google Meet. 

I've been using G Suite Enterprise for about five years.

G Suite is very stable.

We haven't had any issues with scalability - we have over a thousand employees, and G Suite just scales.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We're seeing a good ROI as we use G Suite for many purposes.

G Suite is affordable.

G Suite Enterprise provides many features, such as business increased search visibility, email address, and domain. It's a large whole ecosystem that is the major benefit. You can manage your whole team and have many tools. Over seven years, the solution has gone through some drastic upgrades and improvements which are done automatically, I do not have to manual upgrade.

These types of solutions were code-heavy five years ago, but if you're to recreate it using the no-code environment, they're not only growing in that perspective they're also growing the AI. "How do I handle the data at the end of it?" HubSpot is not growing those services.

There are 120 different products and Google is ready to copy their competitors and vice versa. Some of them work, and some of them don't. There are many newer tools with no-code environments which allow for a leaner self-owned system, where I'm not tied to paying hundreds and thousands of dollars a year to another company.

In the next release of G Suite Enterprise, it would be a benefit to have mapping integration. For example, receiving the location on who you're interacting with and where people are coming from.

The mapping integration feature should not be an afterthought, but an active part of engagement with the people. If I send out a post to social media because emails are not a thing anymore, you're doing it through the social channel and people respond to it. "This is where I am and here's a picture of my backyard, my company is called Tiny Toronto and we build homes in backyards." This should get mapped on a map, Google's good at maps. The marketing generation between people tagging themselves on a map, you have that information accessible in that platform that you can make outreach to them. HubSpot hasn't evolved fast enough to go at that velocity. It's on hold because it doesn't have the mapping integration into something.

I have used G Suite Enterprise within the past 12 months.

The solution is stable, we have never lost data. They don't let you delete stuff in some sense.

G Suite Enterprise support is very accessible. I can click on call back connect with someone, and they can solve my problem immediately. They are a utility company that answers the phone.

I have used HubSpot previously and they are not as dynamic as G Suite Enterprise.

If HubSpot wants to be a utility company they have to be able to answer the phone. I'm planning to move to Shopify, and it has an integration with Google Adwords, you can have fulfillment and everything in a separate ecology. I'm sure G Suite Enterprise has other things that plug into Shopify that's been built new. HubSpot is not a growing platform anymore, people have gone elsewhere, especially in e-retailing.

G Suite Enterprise requires effort to set it all up.

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.

I rate G Suite Enterprise a seven out of ten.

We use G Suite to send daily operational emails for internal and external purposes.

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. If I'm getting a message from the bank about paycheck processing, I can forward it to every user who has asked about their paychecks. 

When I'm away, I can automatically forward my email to another user taking over for me. A copy of the email goes to the second user, so they can take action in my absence. Any case IDs or other emails related to organizational requirements go to second-level people.

The best feature in G Suite is Google Mail forwarding and the ability to create rules based on the subject line. I found it very useful, and you can store additional data in Google Drive. 

Google Mail's spam filter needs improvement. If I'm sending mail to another email user, sometimes it goes to the spam folder, and they won't know unless they check because they aren't seeing it in the primary inbox. They may miss important emails. At the same time, I'm receiving spam that shouldn't go to my inbox.

We've been dealing with G Suite and Google Mail for 10 years. 

G Suite is stable.

G Suite is scalable. You can add as much space as you want. We have more than 200 users working with it. 

We get technical support from a third-party provider, not Google, which is difficult to contact. That is one crucial area for improvement. Google should take care of this. They have a customer care number, but it isn't easy to get immediate service. Even though my company is a paid customer, we have to go through third-party vendors. We cannot contact Google when we have any issues. With Microsoft and other vendors, I can call them directly with any problems, but it's hard to contact Google when we need technical support. 

We used Yahoo Business Mail in the past, and they had the same problems with technical support as Google, but the storage costs were cheaper. It was 1 TB per user.  

The email setup is very easy. It took less than 10 minutes to create my email account and configure it. 

G-Suite is a costly investment, but it is better than other solutions in terms of features, functions, usability, and uptime. 

The license is based on the number of users, and it's annual. There aren't any additional costs. Sometimes we have automation people who need to access an email ID, so we allocate the old ID to the new employee. 

I have other solutions also, but they're not a user-friendly as Google Mail. Some of the features I wanted weren't present, so I didn't recommend these solutions for my organization.

I rate G Suite nine out of 10. It is pretty good. Aside from a few small things, I don't have any issues.

I mainly use G Suite for keeping notes and the calendar. I also use the productivity tools or applications that belong to G Suite and the free email service as well as the Chrome browser to search Google. 

Everything is synchronized across every single device you use to access G Suite. That is why we like it. Also, the apps are intuitive, easy to use, and highly responsive. Gmail and the Chrome browser are the two tools we use the most. We also use Google Drive to upload and store files online. 

Many of the other tools are useful. I often access YouTube for personal use, but I seldom use Google Maps because I prefer Waze. Instead, I use the translator and the tool for managing photos. I use Google Keep for taking notes and also Meet because, in the business world, you need to use various tools to host web conferences with customers, vendors, and for personal use. I don't use Google Hangouts, though.

I think Meet is not as well-positioned as Zoom. That application needs to be enhanced to make it more feature-rich and easy to use. It's easy and has all the essential features, but it's not as popular as Zoom. And I think Google Translate could add more features. For example, it could be integrated when typing in a document or a web browser like Grammarly. I use Grammarly to review the way I write English, and the services included in Grammarly are excellent. Or translation features could be embedded in all the Google applications. It would also be helpful to use translation offline when you are using a desktop, tablet, or cellphone that can't access the web.

For years, everyone has been expecting Google to add a real-time AI interpreting service where you can speak in your language, and Google translates it into other languages for other users. For example, you have a cellphone or web instant messaging integrated with free phone service. They could also use translation services to make it easier to communicate among people because not everyone knows exactly different languages. So I can speak in Spanish, and you understand me in English because you listen to me in English. And if you need to ask something because you are not clear about anything that I said, you can ask a question in your language, and I listen to you in my language.

It would be an excellent service for Google. They already have a global scope and their own platform. Google has an advantage because it is at the top of the internet services. They aren't the leader in all services, but they are well-positioned as the top searching engine. Google could seize other opportunities to develop and deploy some other services we are hoping for and make things easier for everybody.

I don't know precisely how long, but we've been using G Suite for years. I think we've been using it since Google launched those services — before Google started branding this set of apps G Suite. I don't know when they decided to bundle their solutions into G Suite and Plus. Google is the leading provider of internet services, so of course, I use applications from Google.

G Suite's performance is good. It's highly stable.

Google has many data centers, and their services are in their cloud. The performance in all of their applications is excellent. I can't say a bad word about G Suite.

I haven't ever needed to use Google support because everything works. I don't remember when Google has locked a service or went down due to a bug. So I think they produce excellent applications. They have an excellent approach to quality, testing, and user satisfaction. Google keeps things as simple as possible.

G Suite applications are all web-based, so you do not have to download anything. It's simple compared to some other products. 

I rate G Suite nine out of 10. I highly recommend it. Google email services have been helpful for us. I worked for the second-largest public university in Costa Rica, and there was a need to have thousands of active email addresses. It's complex to configure all of them yourself and maintain an email server. Google email offered an effortless way to implement the email for more than 20,000 different addresses that needed to be opened every year. I would say Google Mail must be the most used application globally. Google Mail is a great application, and the service is suitable for personal or enterprise use.
