Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 13, 2025

Oracle Beehive and Google Workspace compete in collaboration and productivity tools. Google Workspace has the upper hand due to its extensive integration capabilities and feature set, preferred despite a higher price.

Features:Oracle Beehive provides enterprise communication tools with focus on security, beneficial for internal collaboration. It includes email, calendaring, and instant messaging designed for confidentiality and compliance. Google Workspace offers tools like Gmail, Docs, and Drive, enhancing productivity through cloud integration and real-time collaboration. It provides seamless sharing and editing across devices with applications integrated into one platform.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:Oracle Beehive deployment is complex, suited for IT departments in large organizations, requiring a dedicated service team for setup. This can be resource-intensive but offers robust support. Google Workspace offers a smooth deployment with extensive online resources and simple integration, appealing to businesses with limited IT resources. Its accessibility and simplicity present an advantage.

Pricing and ROI:Oracle Beehive involves potentially higher installation costs, ideal for those prioritizing security and internal communication. Google Workspace, although potentially higher-priced depending on subscription, provides strong ROI by boosting productivity without additional infrastructure. Its cost-effectiveness makes it favorable in pricing and ROI considerations.

Email collaboration and accessibility have improved team productivity

The valuable features include the email service, email updates, and Google Drive. People are given email access to Google Drive. The team can share manual files and work accordingly. They can access different teams from anywhere, collectively putting files, sharing them, and managing them. Additionally, the manufacturing product does not require any downgrades. It works fine and continuously for the last three or four years. Users can access their emails from anywhere in their browser without a laptop or can directly access from Gmail. This is helpful for salespeople.

Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability

We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to use."

"Google Apps for Business and Skype for Business are the perfect solutions for every business thriving online. It is very easy and inexpensive to get work done with these applications online."

"Google Workspace enhances my productivity within my organization."

"It has saved us money."

"A complete integrated environment for our business. I get Google docs, Gmail, online space, and calendar where I can easily perform all documentation, storage, and communications online."

"G Suite Enterprise is scalable."

"personally prefer to use G Suite applications, such as Gmail, Slides, and Sheets, because they give you the freedom to share the document you're editing and co-work with other colleagues simultaneously."

"The stability of Google Workspace is excellent and very solid."

More Google Workspace pros

"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well."

"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."

Cons

"There are 120 different products and Google is ready to copy their competitors and vice versa. Some of them work, and some of them don't. There are many newer tools with no-code environments which allow for a leaner self-owned system, where I'm not tied to paying hundreds and thousands of dollars a year to another company."

"I found that there is no desktop application for this solution, and that's a major fault of this application."

"Despite being an excellent platform, I would very much like Google Docs to be more compatible with Microsoft Word."

"What needs improvement in Google Workspace is the Google Drive app, in particular, making the process of finding the shared and most used files and folders easier. The first time you get an invite to view a file or folder in Google Drive and you view that folder or file, it's pretty easy, but the next time you try to access it again, sometimes, it's a bit difficult to find what was shared with you. An additional feature I'd like to see in Google Workspace is the option to un-send messages in Gmail. Microsoft has a message recall feature, and this isn't available in Gmail, so it's the feature I'd like to be added to Gmail."

"We use Zoom most of the time for official meetings, and we use Google Meet only for internal meetings. I would like to get an improvised Google Meet. It would be good if they can make Google Meet more clear in communication and more scalable like Zoom."

"I don't recommend Google Workspace to others. It's expensive. Also, Google doesn't have enough oversight on their partners, so you will face some difficulties dealing with them instead of directly with Google."

"Google Workspace lacks the ability to copy and move files from one folder to another easily."

"Some concerns over security, but there are moves to address this and provide admin tools to secure content and adhere to data protection regulations."

More Google Workspace cons

"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price per client within the business is too high."

"2,500 Rupees per month per user."

"I give the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."

"The pricing is comparable, it's pretty decent."

"I can't recall the exact pricing per user for Google Workspace, but I know it's not that expensive. I'm in a mid-sized company that's able to maintain and afford Google Workspace, so it has competitive pricing, and I would rate its price as four out of five."

"Pricing is something concerning. We find the solution very expensive."

"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."

"The pricing is reasonable."
