Google Drive Enterprise Reviews

We use it for general purposes, such as archives and daily storage of files. We have shared drives for every single client we work for, where we store and share data.

For any file you want to collaborate on with colleagues or external people, like clients, it can be done in real-time. That's the most interesting feature.

The security and management aspects are good as well. I haven't faced any issues. 

For integration capabilities, so far, we've been able to do what we wanted. From a user perspective, I'm very happy.

It's a very flexible tool. It allows us to manage data, control access rights, and share data with whoever we want. That's it, basically.

The thing I would change is the pricing. We are a small company, and we have to pay the price for the full Enterprise version because we use some features that are only available on top-tier subscriptions.  

I have been using it for five years. 

We have had no issues with stability. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

It is very scalable. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

There are around ten end users. It's used on a daily basis. We have plans to increase its usage. 

There have been very few problems, but they were sorted out without us needing to ask for support.

We used Microsoft Office before. It's the first enterprise solution we used. Before that, each individual used different tools, but when we decided to go more professional, we chose Google.

The setup was straightforward. No complaints about that.

We don't need any additional support for Google Drive.

The main advantages are the flexibility and collaboration possibilities, as well as the integration with Pipedrive.

There is the other side. If something is too good, you rely on it too much, and it becomes difficult to walk away if you're not happy anymore.

The licensing is yearly. We pay for the high-tier subscription.

In general, I would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

We are very happy with it. It's stable and reliable. The only advice is to look at it carefully before deciding. We compared it to Microsoft, and Google was definitely the best choice.

Sometimes, I need a spare storage area. If I do not have space on my hard disk, I use Google Drive.

The solution is useful for storing personal data. The solution is simple to use. It is straightforward. It is easy to manage.

The product must provide more storage space.

I have been using the solution for a few years.

I rate the product’s stability a seven or eight out of ten. We need more space.

I do not have any trouble with scalability. My experience has been pretty good.

The setup was easy. It took a few minutes. It was very straightforward. Any user can handle the deployment. I can deploy the tool myself. I use it on my PC.

I am using the free version.

I also use OneDrive. It is pretty similar to Google Drive. OneDrive is used for official purposes.

I do not use the solution for official purposes because it is a company policy not to use public cloud storage. The UI is okay. I do not have any trouble using it. I will recommend the tool to others. People can use the tool if they need extra storage. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use the solution for personal backup purposes. It is a cloud storage solution. We can put our documents and information that do not belong to PII. Some people also use the tool to store PII. I use the tool to store certain other documents that are not that important but need to be accessible easily. We also upload many official documents on shared drives.

Most of us have Gmail accounts. It is easy to store a copy of our documents on the cloud. The ease of operation of the tool makes it very attractive. We can also store other documents or details on Google Drive. We can use the product to store large documents we cannot always carry.

Some government agencies need the latest photographs not older than two months. We can keep updating the photo and store it on Google Drive. We may not have the hard copy, but we can download the soft copy from the tool. The solution is accessible from anywhere at any time.

It enables users to share dynamic files that need continuous updating with a team. The files keep updating depending on the changes made by each person who has access to them. The product is pretty secure. We must know what to keep in Google Drive and what not to. It is up to each person’s discretion.

It’s a good tool. It is pretty safe. Almost everyone has access to Google. We can integrate the tool into any device we have. We can attach whatever we need at any point in time. If we have a safe device with internet connectivity, we can use it easily.

The solution must incorporate more flexibility in security. The tool must allow more customization. The vendor limits access to certain security-related controls they impose.

I have been using the solution for a couple of years.

I rate the tool’s stability seven and a half out of ten.

We have a lot of space. We can keep expanding it. However, I suggest not increasing the limit beyond a certain point. The more data we put on Google Drive, the more cumbersome it will be to find the required data. It is better to restrict ourselves to the available storage space and update the files when necessary.

The product provides a safe means to access documents from anywhere using any device.

I use the free version. We will be charged if we increase the storage.

I have limited use for the solution because I always have a backup. I will recommend the product to others. It is up to each individual to decide what they need to store on Google Drive. We must use our discretion. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Google Drive is a safe and easy online repository with a nice web interface for file management. It has some extra benefits over a network folder because it has automatic version control and collaboration features.

If we have a bunch of users with Microsoft Word documents or Excel files, it's not always easy to collaborate on a single file together. If we put it in Google Drive, we can all access it simultaneously and make edits and changes. We can put tags on the files and do a little bit of automation with the basic enterprise version, which is nice. They help to find things that are related to projects.

The ability to simultaneously edit files is really useful. Automatic version control is also valuable. I have never seen a security problem on Google Docs. It is easy to access. Security is built into the tool. We don't have to worry about it so much. I haven't integrated Google Drive, but it's easy to access from other applications like Jira and Confluence. The product is really easy to understand and use.

The web interface is a pain to access compared to the Windows application. However, the Windows application doesn't have any of the advanced features of the web interface, like tagging and SafeSearch. The Windows application should have the same features as the web application. The integration of Google Drive with other things could probably be better. The product’s document management and automation features are very limited. If you're a big organization, it will become a big mess very quickly.

I have been using the solution for a couple of years.

The tool’s stability is almost perfect. I've only had a problem once.

The tool’s scalability seems unlimited. I've never had a problem with it. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We have 6000 users. In my previous organization, we had 50,000 users. The solution is used every day.

I have deployed it at a university before. It took less than a week to deploy after we got the basic training.

The ROI is extremely good because we don't have to worry about backups, and the security is very high.

I've never had any issues to complain about, and I don't do the administration. I don't have any experience with support. It's a great replacement for your network drive. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use the solution for my backups. It is integrated into my local system. I use the tool predominantly to back up my photos.

The product ensures availability. If I have to take a backup on a hard disk, it is at risk of getting corrupted. Google Drive provides a guarantee that I can retrieve my data anytime.

The product does not support certain formats. My photographs are HEIC files. I tried uploading it, but it did not work. I don't get the required quality when I upload and download the photographs. The product does not provide a seamless experience. It is not integrated well compared to iOS.

I have been using the solution for the last five years.

I rate the tool’s stability a six or seven out of ten. It does not support some formats.

The setup is okay. The product is cloud-based.

I pay a monthly subscription for the product. The tool is a bit expensive.

We use Amazon S3 for projects and tasks. We have a tie-up with Microsoft. So, for our corporate needs, we use OneDrive. I also use the ecosystem available on my iPhone. I chose Google Drive due to its cost.

The vendor does not propagate the savings to the end users. We must use the storage solution that is provided by the platform we use. If not, we will face challenges with interoperability and seamlessness between the devices. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I use the solution to store some critical training documents.

I can store and share documents. If someone wants my training videos, I share them using Google Drive. I can easily access my data and see my videos on Google Drive.

The tool must provide more storage capacity. Nowadays, 15 GB is not enough. Some people create another account to use more storage. However, it would be helpful if the vendor increased the storage for individual accounts.

I have been using the solution for quite some time.

The stability is good.

The deployment is straightforward. It is a cloud-based product.

We can store the data forever. We can retrieve it whenever we want. Google Drive is a good place to store data.

I use the free version.

I also use Amazon S3. Google is open-sourced. I do not know how secure Google is. Amazon S3 is secure. Some people use Google as their official email ID and storage solution.

The tool moved from the email attachment to the Google Drive attachment. Everything goes via Google Drive. My organization has blocked our access to Google Drive. I use it on my laptop. I give training to people. I have a knowledge base. I store it on Google Drive. I will recommend the solution to others. People might not pay for the product unless it is needed for official purposes.

Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

I use it for my daily activities. I'm an entrepreneur, so I use it to document my work and collaborate with others. I'm running a small setup, so we don't have a server or file-sharing service. I use Google Drive for file sharing, documentation, and collaborative work.

File sharing and shared workspaces are good features. 

It's very convenient for me. I used to work in a corporate setting with shared servers and workspaces. For small setups like mine, it's very easy to use. Even some of my customers use G Suite for their work.

In terms of sharing, maybe a few more options would be great. Now, there are options like "read-only," but maybe having something like a timestamp would be helpful. There could be some more elaborate options.

If somebody has made changes, for example, there should be a timestamp. Also, if two or three people are working and someone deletes something, a mechanism to retrieve the previous version should be available. 

Sometimes, I feel that the Google Workspace doesn't have all the same shortcut keys compared to my desktop Excel. For example, file format options like copy-pasting formats don't work the same way. But if there were a similar shortcut for Google Docs, it would be easier to use.

In future releases, if there were more color options for folders, that would be good. It could enhance the look and feel. Also, maybe there could be more elaborate options for file-sharing permissions, like a timestamp.

I have been using it for a long time. 

I haven't faced any downtime issues. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

I didn't ask for any support, but my client, who is using G Suite, did. We approached them for support, and it was good. There was downtime for G Suite once in a year or two, and it happened globally. But we trust that Google will fix it sooner or later.

For my regular personal activities or my job, I'm using Microsoft documents. But I've been using Google Docs extensively the last few months because I have to collaborate with my teammates. It's very convenient for me. 

The initial setup is very easy. Google is not complex, and it's very easy to use. That's the reason we are still using it.

It is valuable for me because my personal email, my personal data, everything is in Google. It is the most commonly used email platform for personal use. Within my circle, as a parent, my kids also use Google.

For parental control, Google Drive should have more options. I also use it to some extent for parental control, like for browser usage. It can be more advanced. 

I pay for the additional storage. Otherwise, it's free as a basic plan, 15 GB. When my storage is beyond that limit, I pay for it. Otherwise, it's completely free.

It is convenient for me, and based on my experience, it is perfect. 

Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. Google Drive can provide a walk-through about the capabilities, that will be good. I know there are many YouTube videos, and everything is available, but a basic walk-through might be good. 

I am always concerned about retrieving lost data, especially when collaborating.  

We use the solution to share documents across teams and store them long-term in locations independent of a laptop.

With Google Drive Enterprise, multiple people can edit a document, and you can open it as Google Docs. You don't need a reader because the format reader is already a part of the drive or the browser. The ecosystem has become very user-friendly, and we don't need to purchase any software.

Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for a few years.

Google Drive Enterprise is a very stable solution.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for stability.

I have previously used Dropbox.

The solution provided us with good productivity, knowledge management, and knowledge sharing.

No setup is required for the solution, as it's all on the browser. Google Drive Enterprise is beneficial for anything that has to be shared across teams, where multiple people need to work on a document. The solution's security features are very good. We can define who gets access to the document. Users need to define their access properly so that they don't modify someone else's document. It is a good knowledge management tool.

I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
