Great document storing and easy to set up but needs to offer more collaboration capabilities
It should have collaboration features. For example, if I upload a document and I want the document which I upload to be discussed among my colleagues and peers, I should be able to share. I'd like for us to be collaborating, discussing the document, adding to the document, et cetera. I'd like it to be possible for teams to collaboratively create the document. Compliance or records management could be improved. For example, if I upload a document, a legal document such as a contract, when you onboard a new customer, you would like to have that contract document stored. At the same time, it should be logged. Once a document is approved and taken by printout and sent to the customer, it should be logged. It should not be allowed to be editable; you shouldn't be able to make changes to it. For records management, it should only be accessible to some people, not everyone. I would like to have records management features and compliance features where data could be hidden. Items such as personal data should be hidden or masked. I would like to have GDPR features added. We had some slight hiccups during the setup process.

Collaborative work with students has improved but storage limitations and support issues remain
We have Google Workspace, and we use it primarily for Drive to collect items. We categorize folders with topics and material either for students or for research. We use Google Doc to share documents, especially when we assign homework to be corrected for peer correction or classroom correction. With Teams and Microsoft, we use it for collective calls and exam supervision because we use video surveillance through camera with Teams. We use Teams for meetings and to share material with students. The ability to share documents with students and assign them things and correct them in real time has been beneficial. You can verify what they write, and they can contribute and cooperate to create a collective document, which is something that our society nowadays requires. The ability to cooperate, especially those who work with languages and those who work with writing, need to learn how to cooperate. There is co-editing and co-writing, all these sorts of things. I love the fact that I can easily have access to folders that I can categorize and where I can upload research material and teaching material.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DocuWare allows for easy document management and workflow automation, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and streamlining the approval process."
"For the most part, the initial setup is easy. There's good documentation."
"The most valuable part of G Suite is the integration among all of the components."
"I like the capabilities for collaboration on any platform; for example, I might be on an iPad whereas the person next to me is on a laptop and the person next to them is on their phone, and we can all collaborate together and update documentation in real-time."
"The security and privacy policies of G Suite make it efficient, and the organizational data is secure."
"We are not seeking new requirements or additional features."
"G Suite Enterprise is user-friendly, and the technical toolkits and other information are on the website."
"The solution is easy to use, and you don't need a lot of knowledge for it."
"The solution helps us to collaborate."
"It is a stable platform; it is very easy to use, and most importantly, it is very easy to administer, and it also gets up and running quite easily."
 

Cons

"Its graphical user interface could be more user-friendly."
"It should have collaboration features."
"In the next release, I would like to see more encryption of documents, mail, and things like that. There should be a better way to encrypt mail and documents that are pushed through this system. That would be some improvement or additional features that could be good to have."
"To a degree, the project management service could be improved."
"There's a bit of a learning curve."
"It is stable but we have had issues receiving emails from people who use Outlook."
"Some people complain that Google Mail is inflexible. It was advanced 10 years ago, but other solutions are cleaner and clearer."
"Integration with traditional e-mail clients (Outlook) is not there."
"I believe that Sheets could have a more functional and user-friendly interface. Google Sheets currently lacks macros and cross file links which can be found in Excel."
"Everything is online, so you don't have a client on your desk. Working on email is online work, so can't do work offline and go back online. Sometimes it's not so intuitive. If you answer an email, it puts your answer at the bottom of the existing email."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the price may be considered slightly high, it is still reasonable within the context of other options available on the market."
"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."
"We receive value for the price that we pay."
"It's about $8.30 up a user per month."
"The pricing is comparable, it's pretty decent."
"The pricing of Google Workspace, so far, has been reasonable."
"Pricing is something concerning. We find the solution very expensive."
"I rate Google Workspace's pricing five to six out of ten. We do not pay any extra costs."
