Google Workspace and Google Drive Enterprise compete in productivity and collaboration tools. Google Workspace seems to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive suite of applications that provide seamless integration and advanced collaboration capabilities.
Features: Google Workspace includes tools like Gmail, Drive, and Calendar, praised for scalability and seamless integration. It offers advanced collaboration capabilities and ease of use in various environments. Google Drive Enterprise focuses on file storage and document sharing with ease of access, security, and collaboration, ideal for on-the-go file management.
Room for Improvement: Google Workspace users seek better integration with traditional email clients like Outlook, enhanced security features, and improved performance with document formats. Users of Google Drive Enterprise desire enhancements in file management, increased storage capacity, and improved integration with Microsoft applications.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both solutions are easy to deploy on public cloud platforms. However, Google Workspace receives mixed reviews for its technical support, citing variability in accessibility and documentation compared to competitors. Google Drive Enterprise offers reasonable support with fewer accessibility difficulties reported.
Pricing and ROI: Google Workspace’s pricing is considered reasonable by some, though it can be expensive when additional services are needed. The integration benefits justify costs for many companies. Conversely, Google Drive Enterprise offers competitive pricing with free tiers but can become costly with higher storage needs. Both solutions offer high ROI due to streamlined processes, though Workspace's extensive suite enhances value perception.
In the past, we experienced a problem with automatic emails being blocked, and the support team resolved the issue quickly.
With Gemini, I was charged for a year without receiving any guidance on its usage.
It supports around 2,500 users in our company, and this scalability assists us in maintaining our infrastructure.
Scalability involves another configuration with a new email configuration, involving some authentication issues with Microsoft Outlook.
This stability is crucial to us because it ensures we do not lose communication or connection while using messaging and accessing files.
The stability of Google Workspace is excellent and very solid.
The only issue is collaboration with Outlook, where I am having a bit of a problem.
I am not aware of the security level it provides, and I would not recommend it for enterprise or company use due to these security concerns.
The new integration was implemented last September, and we are facing some issues with OAuth 2.0 authentication.
The security functionalities are similar to those in competitors like Active Directory, but they could be optimized for stronger security features.
I am familiar with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing costs of Google Drive Enterprise, and I find it cost-effective.
The current cost is approximately seven to ten euros per user per month.
The integration of various office tools allows for making and sharing documents easily.
The collaboration aspects between teams and within team members are the most beneficial features.
These tools enhance productivity by allowing us to edit the same file at the same time, making collaboration much smoother.
The valuable features include the email service, email updates, and Google Drive.
Drive Enterprise enables you to transform how your business stores, accesses, and secures files, all without extensive change management. Drive Enterprise is a standalone offering with usage-based pricing that includes all the features of Drive.
Similar to G Suite, all Google Workspace plans provide a custom email for your business and include collaboration tools like Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Chat, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, and more.
