Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The breadth and capability of the various extensions and plug-ins that are out there for Chrome to do additional things on top of just working in the browser are fantastic.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Chrome Enterprise is really easy to deploy and manage.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The best part of Chrome is security.""Chrome functions as a comprehensive solution due to its continuous self-evaluation and improvement. The evolution process has been significant, with a notable distance covered from its inception to the present. Notably, features like VPN support have been incorporated over time, enhancing the platform's capabilities. A distinctive feature is that users don't even need to know the Wi-Fi password; upon signing into the machine, internet connectivity is established immediately. Furthermore, the cloud storage system ensures data isn't stored locally, making it seamless for users to switch between machines. In summary, Google Chrome Enterprise is an excellent solution, particularly when there's a shortage of available manpower.""This solution is user-friendly with security features detecting if there is suspicious activity on the browser. There is a lot of extensions we can use to provide us with good coverage.""It has been working pretty well for us...By and large, things are pretty stable."

"The technical support services are good.""The initial setup for most modern Linux distributions is normally straightforward. Most of the common distributions use an ncurses or GUI install.""Out-of-the-box SLES supported all of our HBAs and hardware specific components.""The main feature is that Linux is flexible to work with for most web-based applications.""The solution offers a secure operation system.""It is very easy to maintain, migrate and upgrade.""I have not experienced any issues with this operating system.""The solution is easy to use, secure and allows for simple manipulation."

Cons
"I wish there was a way that they could update things a little less often if anything. I think a lot of enterprise customers are frustrated... Certain plug-ins like ad blockers will lose some functionality in the next quarter to half a year.""The performance could be faster.""The tool is not very user-friendly.""Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market.""The product must improve its speed.""The solution could be made cheaper.""Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution.""Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging since Chrome consistently strives to enhance itself. One aspect I'd like to highlight is virtualization. For instance, if you require desktop-based applications like Cisco or Adobe products on your local machine, Chrome's support is limited. While they offer Linux solutions for virtualization, my query or request would be to expand this to include Windows-based applications. If this were implemented, it would be a valuable enhancement, encouraging broader adoption by companies."

More Google Chrome Enterprise Cons →

"All distributions of Linux could use some improvement.""The quality of support offered by SUSE Linux Enterprise is not that great, making it an area where improvements are required.""They should improve their educational portal.""The solution could be more stable.""The free version sometimes has security holes.""The product must improve its UI.""They should probably just make clustering a bit simpler and also provide more descriptive log files for cluster services.""They should provide chatbot support for customers to open the troubleshooting cases directly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We are on a monthly subscription for this solution."
  • "So all I can say is just for us since we just recently re-upped our three-year contract for Google Education Enterprise, whatever the name is for their highest level enterprise...I found the pricing to be pretty reasonable overall."
  • "Google Chrome Enterprise is a medium-priced solution."
  • "Pricing varies significantly based on different regions and specific requirements. The cost can differ for the Euro price as opposed to the Asia-specific price. Generally, the standard pricing falls within the range of twenty-five to thirty dollars per license. This payment can be structured on a monthly or yearly basis. Opting for the yearly payment plan often comes with an added discount, either directly from Google or through negotiations with your vendor."
  • "Yearly payments are to be made towards the licensing costs of Google Chrome Enterprise. It is not an expensive solution. I rate the solution's pricing model a six out of ten. There is a need to pay an extra cost in addition to the solution's standard licensing fees."
  • "The product price is very good in my opinion."

  • "I would advise others to download the free or strictly open source versions, then test them in their environment before committing to a purchase. This will allow for testing suitability for applications that they want to run."

  • "When we first implemented this product, we had licenses for support."
  • "I have to pay for a license in order to get support."
  • "There is a free tier and a paid support tier. If you do not need support, then the solution is free to use. If you need support then there is an option for that as well."
  • "Anyone can use Linux because it is open-source."
  • "The license we pay is for Oracle. We make use of the community edition."
  • "There is no license for this solution, there is only a subscription of support available."
