A great collaboration service for small organizations
The synchronization should be simplified. Other solutions like Dropbox and OneDrive have apps. I tried using the mobile version, but it didn't work properly, that needs to be improved. It was cumbersome. It's a good solution for a small organization like ours, but it really depends on your use-cases and the size of your organization. I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app. It was challenging to even download it and once I did, I wasn't even able to log into my system. The mobile app needs to improved for easy use.

Email collaboration and accessibility have improved team productivity
The valuable features include the email service, email updates, and Google Drive. People are given email access to Google Drive. The team can share manual files and work accordingly. They can access different teams from anywhere, collectively putting files, sharing them, and managing them. Additionally, the manufacturing product does not require any downgrades. It works fine and continuously for the last three or four years. Users can access their emails from anywhere in their browser without a laptop or can directly access from Gmail. This is helpful for salespeople.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"The valuable features of this solution are ease of use, performance is great, and collaboration. It is very easy to share and joins documents."
"The solution is stable."
"All the Microsoft Office features are available in Google Workspace."
"The product is user-friendly and knows how to appeal to a user. Google Docs accepts some of our requirements. Its most valuable feature is performance. The product's integrations are good."
"Valuable features of the solution are that it's simple and effective."
"I find smart sheets in Google Sheets to be useful."
"It's more open than Microsoft and easy to use."
"We value the collaboration levels that are offered. Having everything integrated in a single platform is a dream come true for us."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The solution could improve by having more frequent updates."
"I believe Google Drive has potential for improvement. Enhancements could be made in terms of synchronization and the functionality of the Google Sheets app, particularly in areas like formulas and pivot tables, to make it more comparable to Microsoft Excel. Google Chat needs to make improvements so that we can send Excel and PDFs from the mobile app itself. I would like to see Google Bard integrated with the product."
"The price could be reduced."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it doesn't integrate that well with Microsoft Office, which is one of the bigger business apps on the market, compared to Google Sheets and applications of that sort."
"Some concerns over security, but there are moves to address this and provide admin tools to secure content and adhere to data protection regulations."
"The tool should improve its on-prem capabilities to include people who are working offline. The pricing is also a challenge for both the Indian and overseas markets. The tool has a cap of 300 licenses. The product's price has also increased by 10 percent. Businesses are struggling to justify the ROI. Users cannot block emails unless they have a strong firewall."
"They can maybe improve its graphical user interface. Google is not really known for having a PC interface. It is just a nice-to-have feature."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"The pricing is very high, although I cannot tell if this is the result of the Indian vendors artificially inflating it."
"We have purchased an annual subscription."
"The pricing is comparable, it's pretty decent."
"I give the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."
"It's low in cost as compared to Office 365. There is an annual licensing cost."
"It's cheaper to run a couple of users in a Google platform than what it would be with Microsoft Exchange."
"The solution is expensive."
"Careful consideration should be given to the different licensing options and provisions should be made for additional applications that may be required for your particular business."
