Offers the most simplest and easiest UI to use

I would not like many changes in the tool, but I think the 15 GB space provided by Google Drive Enterprise needs to be increased to around 25 five GB, as it would be really helpful for users. These days, the resolution of pictures and everything else has been increased. If you take a picture from an iPhone, it could easily be of around seven to eight GB. Photos are memories that one would want to keep or store properly. I believe that it is not possible to save a lot of photos in Google Drive Enterprise since it only provides 15 GB to users. The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.

Excellent technical support, easy to install, but the price, while affordable, could be improved

Office 365 is scalable, but it is dependent on the situation. We don't have a problem with it from an organizational standpoint. They started with 100 employees and then added another 500 after six months, for a total of 600 employees. The setup of new users, new emails, and new applications to be assigned to the new users is straightforward. They also provide the PowerShell command, which they provided more, development type, like, for example, you can create users, not manually, but through a script that can create users, for example, 100 users in two, three minutes, and you don't do it manually. They're fantastic. My portfolio contains approximately 50 companies. Office 365 is our primary platform for the 50 companies. I only have one on G Suite, and the majority of them will be migrating from G Suite to 365 in the coming month.

More Google Drive Enterprise pros

"OneNote is the feature I use the most. We also frequently use the Power Apps features."

"As an email provider, I believe Office 365 is the best email provider."

"Adaptable solution with a good interface. It's easy to set up and easy to use."

"The most innovative feature of Office 365 is the Power Apps, which allows us to automate literally everything that we want automated. For example, sending attachments to specific folders on SharePoint, adding people's SharePoint when certain apps are performed, or emailing certain people at certain instances, such as when you've done a follow-up with the CRM and you need a marketing email to be sent out at a particular point."

"The technical support is outstanding."

"The most valuable feature is Microsoft Exchange."

"Cloud-based management is valuable and software deployment is positive."

"The most valuable feature is the integration with OneDrive, which has allowed us, a small business, easy access to a cloud environment, with no need to back up the data from five different computers."

More Office 365 pros

Cons

"Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking."

"The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to."

"Google Drive Enterprise can improve by having better compatibility with Microsoft files. Google Drive Enterprise sometimes blocks Japanese characters in documents."

"Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly."

"Some features like transpose are still lacking in the solution for power users."

"There are a few kinks to work out at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple and extremely useful."

"The solution is kind of expensive."

"I am not sure what will happen if you forget to renew your license."

More Google Drive Enterprise cons

"The feature to convert PDF file to a Word document needs improvement as well as the feature to save the file automatically when typing, without using the save command."

"I'm not sure if there are areas of improvement. For us, it's working quite well."

"Sometimes the synchronization between the desktop and online is a little bit slow."

"Performance-wise, Office 365 needs a lot of bandwidth. The problem is, the solution requires very high bandwidth and internet usage. Meaning, the desktop application consumes a lot of internet data. Sometimes, when the connection is slow, it won't work and it won't load. This is an area for improvement for Office 365."

"If two people update the same file, it causes issues."

"As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request."

"Integration with other platforms can be improved."

"It seems like every other week when we log into the administrative portals, it doesn't matter which one, it could be the active directory portal, it could be the exchange admin center or SharePoint admin center, it seems like Microsoft is consistently updating with new versions of the admin centers, which can be frustrating."

"Google Drive Enterprise is free for everyone to use."

"Google is much cheaper than Microsoft."

"The product is free."

"The tool is a bit expensive."

"The pricing is high and has actually caused us to limit the number of licenses we purchase due to budgeting."

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, or we prepay them."

"I think that we pay $9.99 USD per user, monthly."

"For the moment, we are paying on a monthly basis because we are still adapting the support and how we want to proceed. I think we will move to paying for the annual license."

"We have a license to use this solution. We have an E3 license which covers many different solutions."

"The pricing/licensing is easy to manage."
