A stable, secure, and seamless product that enables efficient communication and collaboration
Pros and Cons
  • "Google Chat is the most valuable feature of the solution."
  • "The product could improve the number of participants allowed in a meeting and the strength of the meetings."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The tool is stable, secure, and seamless.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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

How was the initial setup?

The deployment is a lengthy process.

What about the implementation team?

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Flexible, fast, and responsive
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very stable."
  • "We need more functionality with Google Sheets"

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for file sharing, document creation, spreadsheet creation, presentations, and email.

What is most valuable?

The speed and response time are the most valuable aspects of the solution. It's always quick and available. I haven't had any outage problems or anything like that. I don't think there's ever been a time when it's been unreliable.

The solution is very stable. 

It can scale well.

It's very flexible. 

What needs improvement?

We need more functionality with Google Sheets. Sometimes I find that, since I've used Excel in the past, there's not as much feature parody between Microsoft's Excel and Google Sheets. Excel seems to have more features than Google Sheets. That's probably true with Google Workspace overall. It just doesn't have as many features and isn't as feature-rich as Microsoft Office.

The learning curve is a bit higher on the solution than, for example, Microsoft Office.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a year and a half at this point. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's a stable, reliable product. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good. We've never had any lag or downtime. It's a very responsive solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have found the product to be easily scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never had to deal with technical support. I'm not sure how helpful or responsive they are in general.

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

I've used Microsoft options in the past.

Google Workspace is probably more scalable. The learning curve is probably deeper for Workspace, however, once you understand how to use workspace or G Suite, it's quicker and more responsive than Microsoft Office - and more flexible.

How was the initial setup?

I don't deal with the deployment or maintenance aspect of the solution. 

What other advice do I have?

I'd advise potential new users to just make sure that the functionality feature set will meet the needs of the organization and then make sure that the organization trains or at least enables the workforce with the resources they need to make the most out of the solutions.

I'd rate the product eight out of ten overall. I've mostly been pleased with its capabilities.

User-friendly with a good user interface and an easy setup
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is very easy."
  • "I'm not sure if Google Drive has a customizing feature, however, if it did, then it would be better."

What is our primary use case?

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. 

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

I've never had to contact technical support. 

How was the initial setup?

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. 

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

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Excellent solution for document sharing
Pros and Cons
  • "We haven't had any issues with scalability - we have over a thousand employees, and G Suite just scales."
  • "Improvements to G Suite would be the ability to collaborate more easily and better quality video compression in Google Meet."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

G Suite's most valuable feature is document sharing.

What needs improvement?

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

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

G Suite is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

What was our ROI?

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

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

G Suite is affordable.

Affordable communications and collaborations solution
Pros and Cons
  • "Valuable features of the solution are that it's simple and effective."
  • "To a degree, the project management service could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for the solution is communications and to extend collaboration mostly around spreadsheets and a few groups, but mainly just to get teams on. We're working with fairly small teams, so I don't need a complex project management system at this stage. More and more I'm looking at using ClickUp somewhere down the line.

What is most valuable?

Valuable features of the solution are that it's simple and effective. The thing that I use most is access to documentation and being able to download a print; those are handy features for what I do. In general, basic communication administration.

What needs improvement?

To a degree, the project management service could be improved. I see the product is picking up task management specifically and we're trying to move away from emails as far as possible, but still sticking to the task management aspect.

Another area of improvement would be on the conversation side if you use the chat functions; it's a bit all over the place. But it again comes back towards the project management side, or rather workflow. To me, everything is a project, that's how I approach that.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using G Suite since it was Google apps, and that was around 2009.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is fine. I would rather think the local networks are falling apart, so the response times are sometimes slow, but it's not really Google related, it's network related.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is fine. I've got one site with 50 users, so scalability doesn't really matter that in that environment. On the Google apps platform, it doesn't matter if you have one, or 10, or 100 users really, because each user is just functioning on its own space.

How are customer service and support?

I have not needed Google support in the reseller environment. I once needed to recover a Gmail address, which somebody created for a company and then disappeared, so there's quite a lot of information on there. And Google actually didn't help me, we had to find another way to recover it.

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

Prior to using G Suite, I used to run quite large projects on Microsoft Project. But that was before cloud was really involved.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. To integrate apps into G Suite is actually fairly simple. We're fortunately not sitting with a lot of disparate systems. I add one project and then I use IT to sync.

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

I would say the pricing is very affordable. To me it's cheaper to run a couple of users in a Google platform than what it would be with Microsoft Exchange. But of course, you've got Microsoft Cloud now, so I'm using that as well because clients require that.

What other advice do I have?

When considering G Suite, the key is moving from the old environment, Outlook, or whatever the case might be. I wouldn't use Outlook. I would just stick to the Google interface. But my advice is, if you want change, you've got to plan properly because you'll use it often. That is probably the biggest challenge.

I sell the product, and I would recommend it. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
