We performed a comparison between Google Workspace and Microsoft OneDrive based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."G Suite Enterprise provides many features, such as business increased search visibility, email address, and domain. It's a large whole ecosystem that is the major benefit. You can manage your whole team and have many tools. Over seven years, the solution has gone through some drastic upgrades and improvements which are done automatically, I do not have to manual upgrade."
"We use Google Sheets extensively for things like sharing plans, data, test reports, and more."
"G Suite Enterprise is scalable."
"The solution is very intuitive."
"The email is excellent."
"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. We can all collaborate together and update documentation in real-time."
"I use Keep to assign tasks to a team of programmers, which is very easy."
"Good search features, reliable storage, and quick thinking."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."
"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"Google Mail's spam filter needs improvement. If I'm sending mail to another email user, sometimes it goes to the spam folder, and they won't know unless they check because they aren't seeing it in the primary inbox. They may miss important emails. At the same time, I'm receiving spam that shouldn't go to my inbox."
"The cost could be improved. It can sometimes be a bit confusing figuring out how we are actually being charged."
"The tool should improve its on-prem capabilities to include people who are working offline. The pricing is also a challenge for both the Indian and overseas markets. The tool has a cap of 300 licenses. The product's price has also increased by 10 percent. Businesses are struggling to justify the ROI. Users cannot block emails unless they have a strong firewall."
"Not all tools are available in the one facility."
"There's a bit of a learning curve."
"I have had issues with my Google Address Book. I have an address book and it is available to everyone, but I cannot add additional users. In Microsoft Outlook, I could easily share certain contacts with other members of my team, but I cannot do so on G Suite."
"Despite being an excellent platform, I would very much like Google Docs to be more compatible with Microsoft Word."
"We noticed that sometimes when we forward emails to somebody, it is being relocated as part of the communication somewhere else. The traceability and other features should be improved."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"The technical support is really very bad."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
