Find out what your peers are saying about Google, Microsoft, Zimbra and others in Email Applications."We find Google Drive and mail useful for our services."
"It's easy to control the admin settings, like updating the SDS, NIK, etc. I"
"If I'm addressing certain emails from banks — automatic emails, like OTP, etc. — I can create rules and forward that OTP to the specific email IDs. You can create rules and deliver mail to different groups using the forwarding feature. It's handy."
"What I like most about Google Workspace is the Google Drive app because you can easily access it from anywhere and from any device. I also find the solution easy to use. It's user-friendly."
"The solution offers very good email. It's a very good email provider."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Google Workspace is its ease of use and stability."
"Good performance, even on relatively slow connections; no local apps required."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"In some cases, we are using the Google Meet functions but only when we have external clients. Internally, we are using Slack. Google Meet virtual meeting function is not as advanced as the one in Slack and should improve."
"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."
"Some concerns over security, but there are moves to address this and provide admin tools to secure content and adhere to data protection regulations."
"I'm not sure if Google Drive has a customizing feature, however, if it did, then it would be better."
"It takes a long time to import the data from G Suite into another platform."
"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."
"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."
"The UI could be more graphic and sassy, but otherwise, it is quite functional."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"It will fully use your system resources."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
