key founder and Managing Director at adcareIT
Good mobile features, excellent search capabilities, and allows for multiple users to edit one document simultaneously
Pros and Cons
- "They are launching more and more features for mobile, which I understand our customers appreciate."
- "I am not a big fan of how Gmail organizes the mail. I find it complicated to see which mail from which users send at which date. Especially if there is a lot."
What is our primary use case?
We tend to implement this solution for our clients. The solution is mainly used for email.
What is most valuable?
Most of our customers are using the basic version.
A lot of the customers use Google Suite. They like the word processing, spreadsheets, database, and presenting tools of Google. Younger customers, newer companies, are more used to full Google. Google Docs, Google Spreadsheet, and so, on as they used it already as a student. They are quite comfortable with the solution and find it user-friendly and easy to navigate - more so than Microsoft, for example.
The ability for multiple users to work in one document is very useful.
The Gmail search tool is excellent. They have the most powerful search tool of all the email managers I work with. They are much, much better than Outlook, for instance. The Outlook search machine is fairly poor actually. If you have a lot of emails and you will do a search, it misses a lot.
They are launching more and more features for mobile, which I understand our customers appreciate.
What needs improvement?
I am not a big fan of how Gmail organizes the mail. I find it complicated to see which mail from which users send at which date. Especially if there is a lot.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using the solution for about ten years or so. It's been a long time at this point.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The companies we work with are 100% small and medium-sized. We don't have any enterprise or corporate customers.
How are customer service and technical support?
While I have never directly dealt with technical support from Google, from talking with my team, it is my understanding that they are quite good. I would say that we are satisfied with the level of support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We've also worked with Microsoft. We mostly use that in my office.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Given how happy our customers have been with the solution, I would rate it at an eight out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
We're a Google partner and we sell to our customers G Suite, or Google Works as it is called now. That's what we do. We're are also a Microsoft partner. We do a lot with Dynamics, Navision Microsoft Dynamics, and we're also a reseller of Microsoft 365. We do backup and disaster recovery in partnership with N‑able. All these things, we do as an MSP. We do remote monitoring as a platform solution where you buy the agents and you do your own management or we do it as an MSP where we do 24/7 management, for instance, of your server monitoring.
We are a managed service provider or a total IT service provider to the market. We do a variety of solutions, primarily for SMEs.

Professional Prospect List Building Service Provider, Email Sourcer, Virtual Assistant at Freelance
An enterprise workspace solution with adequate storage and easy email account creation
Pros and Cons
- "I think it is a great subscription for me. I think it is important, especially when making an internal email subscription. For example, I can easily create my colleague's email address, and we can use it. I benefited from G Suite. I am using the G Suite Drive, which provides 30GB of storage, and it is helping for me. I think it's better for me."
- "I talked with G Suite recently because my G Suite has a temporary block. I communicated with the G Suite representative or Google representative, and he told me that I sent a lot of emails, so my email was temporarily blocked. But I know I have not sent more than 500 emails daily to reach the limit. I sent only 5,200 emails, but unfortunately, my G Suite account was temporarily blocked for 24 hours, and then he resolved it. I think they need to improve G Suite because this temporary block is not fair."
What is our primary use case?
I use G Suite Enterprise for email.

For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using G Suite Enterprise for just one month.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
G Suite Enterprise is stable.
How are customer service and technical support?
I am definitely satisfied with its technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Initially, I used Microsoft Outlook for almost six months. I used those subscriptions, but I cannot buy the Microsoft mailbox service. I tried to communicate with a Microsoft representative, and she tried many times over two hours, but she cannot install or buy my subscription. After that, she provided me with our local representative number. Unfortunately, I cannot reach those people. That's when I escaped Microsoft Outlook and moved to Google G Suite. I think G Suite features are better for me.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I would give G Suite Enterprise an eight.

Sales Director at Kentik
It has an open API so it can integrate with just about any open system
Pros and Cons
- "Google integrates well with our system. G Suite has an open API, so you can connect any open system with Google capable of working with API. This is the main reason we use it."

What is our primary use case?
We have about 200 people at our company using all aspects of G Suite, from Google Drive to Gmail.
How has it helped my organization?
Accessing G Suite is super flexible. You can use it wherever you are on any device.

Content strategist at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Easy to use, simple to navigate around and very stable
Pros and Cons
- "From a security point of view, Google will alert you if anything strange is happening. They will flag it for you so you are aware."
- "Google Meet can have a bit more functionality. It should show the views of more people. Right now, it shows just eight at a maximum, or six. When there are more people on the call, more than eight, everyone is not showing."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use G Suite for our internal tasks. In the company, all the accounts are set up in the G Suite. We use chat also, as well as video functionality and the drive on offer. We do calls through Google G Suite itself.
What is most valuable?
It's a good solution.
It's simple to use and navigate.
I like the video capabilities. I like it more than Microsoft Teams and Zoom as well, due to the fact that it's so simple.
The functionality is really simple and it's absolutely cloud-based and it's easy to use and it's fast.
The solution is stable.
You can scale the product.
From a security point of view, Google will alert you if anything strange is happening. They will flag it for you so you are aware.
What needs improvement?
Google Meet can have a bit more functionality. It should show the views of more people. Right now, it shows just eight at a maximum, or six. When there are more people on the call, more than eight, everyone is not showing. That's an improvement that can be made so that we can see everyone who actually enters a meeting.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for one year. It hasn't been that long.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.
Currently, we have about 450 people using the product.
How are customer service and technical support?
I've never dealt with technical support. I've never had any problems and therefore I have never had to reach out. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also have experience with Microsoft Teams as well as Zoom (for video conferencing tasks).
However, we have only used this product and did not use anything else previously.
How was the initial setup?
I did not handle any aspect of the installation process. I can't speak to how easy or difficult it was, how long it took, or what was involved in executing.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I can't speak to the cost of the product or how much our company pays. I don't deal with payments or licensing.
What other advice do I have?
I'm a customer and an end-user. I use this product at my current company.
We use the enterprise version of the solution.
I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
I would recommend the product to other users and organizations.

Director, Middle East, East India & SAARC at DMX Technologies
Stable, easy to use, and very quick to set up
Pros and Cons
- "The general ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's extremely simple to use. You don't even have to look up videos in order to figure things out. It's all very intuitive."
- "They could increase the number of third-party integrations on offer."
What is our primary use case?
The product itself has a host of tools that come with it. Basically, we use it for our online meetings - web-based meetings. We use Google Meet for them. For file storage, we are using Google Drive. For any surveys or anything, again, there are capabilities. We are using the product for Gmail - their email service.
What is most valuable?
The solution has a host of features. There are so many, we are not using all of them. However, quite a few of them, including Drive, Sheets, Docs, Gmail, Meet, Calendar, and so on are extremely valuable to us.
The general ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's extremely simple to use. You don't even have to look up videos in order to figure things out. It's all very intuitive.
The solution is very stable.
The scalability is very good.
The product is on the cloud. It's plug-and-play. There isn't a long, drawn-out setup process.
What needs improvement?
The pricing of the solution could be better. Maybe they can get some special pricing for it. They have something called a Business Starter, but maybe they can look at still slightly more optimized pricing for the other companies as well.
They could increase the number of third-party integrations on offer.
I don't see any technical challenges or features that are lacking. More or less, they have everything we need.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using the solution for about a year or so now. It hasn't been too long.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We've found the solution to be very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's given us no issues at all so far. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution can scale. If a company needs to expand, it can do so with relative ease.
We have about 50 users on the solution at this time.
We do pan to continue to use it, and to increase usage in the future.
How are customer service and technical support?
We did not require the assistance of technical support, and therefore I cannot speak to their level of service. We only really had two issues, and we simply used Google to find the answers we needed. Technical support was not required. Therefore, I can't speak to their level of knowledge or responsiveness.
How was the initial setup?
The solution is on the cloud. It's kind of a plug-and-play solution. We just got a license or subscription. It gave us access to so many users. There are no hassles at all for the installation and configuration. They make it very simple.
It hardly takes more than a few minutes. The deployment is very fast.
You only need one person to handle the deployment process. It requires a very minimal amount of staff.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is a bit high. They should offer more licenses that could appeal to a wider variety of companies.
We currently have a yearly subscription which we pay.
What other advice do I have?
We are using the latest version of the solution currently.
I'd recommend this solution to other users or companies. It's very user-friendly and easy to adopt.
I'd rate the product at a perfect ten out of ten. For a company our size, it gives us everything we require. It's great.

Partner, Cloud Expert at GoCloud
Provides great opportunities for collaboration and streamlining our business
Pros and Cons
- "Extremely reliable, providing great collaboration features."
- "There is some redundancy in the functionality between certain modules."
What is our primary use case?
This solution is our primary tool for communication and collaboration within the company. We use it for everything possible. We are partners with Google and I'm a cloud expert and company partner.
How has it helped my organization?
This product has improved our organization in many ways, whether it's in terms of quick access to information from any place and the fact that it's more than just email. In the work environment I can quickly collaborate with others on urgent matters. Problems are addressed more quickly and content is created and approved in less time, providing quick and easy access to information.
What is most valuable?
It's difficult to name a single valuable feature, but I like that it simply works and is reliable. I like the philosophy of the product.
What needs improvement?
G Suite has improved but there's still some redundancy in the functionality between certain modules. The general Q and A's are different from the Q and A's in Google presentations and Google slides. I think the three could be unified into a single function rather than three different functions. For additional features, I'd like to see some project management area tools, workflow tools around document management, that kind of thing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for over 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is absolutely reliable and stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is excellent - the product is a public cloud product so by definition it's scalable. We're not a big company, we have close to 20 users and they are in all roles, whether it's sales, marketing, professional services or administration.
How are customer service and technical support?
As partners, I think the technical support offered is good. From Google's perspective, I think it could be improved. There is quality lacking in their support. The solution works very well and there are rarely any technical issues and that could be the reason that their first line of support is not great. I think it's similar with other vendors so it seems to be the industry average.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There are different licensing packages available so you can choose what suits you. The price is relatively low, it's reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
Compared to anything else, this solution is absolutely the best.
I rate this solution a 10 out of 10.
