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."
"Extremely reliable, providing great collaboration features."
"It's easy to control the admin settings, like updating the SDS, NIK, etc. I"
"Good performance, even on relatively slow connections; no local apps required."
"G Suite Enterprise is scalable."
"The document sharing in which multiple people can work on the same document. To go along with that is the archiving of documents. If you mess up a document, it's easy to go get a previous version."
"The solution is very intuitive."
"It's secure. It offers data security and user privacy. I use it for personal purposes. The interface is okay, and it's easy to use."
"The valuable features include the email service, email updates, and Google Drive."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The stability should be addressed."
"Google Workspace doesn't have some of the Excel and PowerPoint presentation functions you get with Microsoft Office."
"The downloading options need improvement, particularly in converting and viewing data formats like PST and inbox formats easily."
"G-Suite is excellent for what we're trying to do, but it could use some extra features. For example, it would be helpful if we had a seamless way to convert Excel macros to Google Sheets."
"One area of improvement for Google Workspace is the Google Meet functionality. Currently, users cannot upload files directly through Google Meet; instead, they have to share links via Google Drive, which adds unnecessary steps and complexity."
"They could increase the number of third-party integrations on offer."
"Scalability is not as good as we would like."
"The feature set of Google Sheets is limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"It's low in cost as compared to Office 365. There is an annual licensing cost."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side than normal. For a basic Google account it costs $100, but Enterprise is %150."
"Traffic management tools may be required for larger setups and should be included in any pricing calculations."
"There are benefits that can provide a competitive advantage, e.g., improved productivity (with appropriate training), increased collaboration (with correct use of tools), flexible working - work from home or remote locations, easy to scale - fast onboarding of new employees, and ability to add and remove licenses, as required."
"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."
"There are different versions of the solution available, such as premium."
"Approximately $6 per user, per month."
"The pricing of Google Workspace, so far, has been reasonable."
