What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution’s stability ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the solution ten out of ten for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is awesome. Whenever you have trouble, try to ping the support team online, and you will get immediate support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used Azure and Amazon, but I found that Google was a more suitable platform for me. Microsoft Azure is more particular and user-friendly when creating VMs and networking components in the cloud.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup is quite easy. You just log in and start working on the tool.
What was our ROI?
The solution's return on investment depends on the company's requirements, what it is looking for, and what it needs exactly.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution has a subscription-based license. Users have to keep paying for the services they subscribe to. Google Drive Enterprise has different payment models.
What other advice do I have?
Google Drive Enterprise gives 15 GB, which is more than enough for personal use cases. Google Drive Enterprise is a cloud-based solution. The solution provides many new integration features. I rate its integration capabilities ten out of ten. I rate the solution's security and management tools ten out of ten.
I would recommend the solution to other users. Regarding interportability and services, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft Azure are the three major service providers in terms of cloud computing. Google is more focused on the open platform, which gives you more flexibility.
Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

Managing Director at sea-solutión
Reliable, straightforward to use, and offers great file sharing capabilities
Pros and Cons
- "The initial setup is easy."
- "It would be ideal if they could offer more GBs for free. Offering 15GBs is too small."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution to share documents between people in my company, and sometimes we also share with people outside the company.
What is most valuable?
The main feature we use is the file and photo-sharing capability. The other feature we also use quite often is the ability to make and share Google Sheets and Google Docs for authoring documentation.
Google, in general, is straightforward to use.
The initial setup is easy.
It is reliable.
We can scale the product.
What needs improvement?
It works for me quite well now. I do not have any suggestions for the future.
It would be ideal if they could offer more GBs for free. Offering 15GBs is too small.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for 15 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution can scale well. It's not a problem if you need to expand.
We have 50 users on the solution currently. We do not have plans to increase usage in the future.
How are customer service and support?
I have never used technical support. I don't know how helpful they are. It's an easy, stable solution, and I've never required help.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also use One Drive from Microsoft. Previously, we used Dropbox. Microsoft offers more GBs to users (1TB). Google only offers 15GBs for free.
How was the initial setup?
The solution is quite simple to set up. It's quick to deploy. It takes just a click, and you are up and running. It just takes one engineer to set up and maintain the solution.
What about the implementation team?
It's so straightforward, anyone can do it. We do not need any consultants or integrators.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Users get 15GBs for free. After that, they have to pay.
What other advice do I have?
I'd recommend the solution to others, depending on what the company needs. If a user just needs a drive that's 15GBs per user, then Google Drive is okay. If they need more than that, they have to pay. However, One Drive gives a user 100GBs. It's much bigger and would be more practical for bigger users.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

User-friendly, reliable, and accessible from any machine or mobile device
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is very user-friendly."
- "The vendor must increase awareness about the tool among the common people."
What is our primary use case?
Google Drive Enterprise is a shared space. We can access our Google Drive from any device. I use the tool for my personal use cases.
What is most valuable?
The solution is accessible from any machine or mobile device. It is a big advantage. The solution is very user-friendly. Even a common man can use it. It is always available.
What needs improvement?
In most of the devices, the product works in the background. The common man wouldn't even know they use Google Drive to access their photos from anywhere. The awareness of the common people is very low. The vendor must increase awareness about the tool among the common people. It will benefit Google.

I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten. There is room for improvement.

What other advice do I have?
I will recommend the solution to others. We must understand how it functions and use it well. I rate the usability a nine out of ten. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Lead Technical Instructor at Code.Hub
A web application that works as a repository for storing data such as Excel, Word documents, and more
Pros and Cons
- "One of the most strong features is the ability to collaborate by sharing files with others, allowing concurrent work. The most valuable features of our team's collaboration include concurrent editing and quickly creating reports. This allows for simultaneous editing, moderation, and finalization of our reports."
- "Improvements could include better editing features within a Word document, similar to the characteristics of on-premises versions, such as more formatting functions. Another improvement could be file transfer from the browser to the desktop, making it as simple as drag and drop."
What is our primary use case?
The tool is our repository for storing data such as Excel, Word documents, and more.
What is most valuable?
One of the most strong features is the ability to collaborate by sharing files with others, allowing concurrent work. The most valuable features of our team's collaboration include concurrent editing and quickly creating reports. This allows for simultaneous editing, moderation, and finalization of our reports.
The tool is secure, and you won't encounter any difficulties.
What needs improvement?
Improvements could include better editing features within a Word document, similar to the characteristics of on-premises versions, such as more formatting functions. Another improvement could be file transfer from the browser to the desktop, making it as simple as drag and drop.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Google Drive Enterprise's stability as ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I think it is quite scalable. The free version offers up to one or ten gigabytes of storage, and you can pay for extra space if needed. My company has five to ten users who use it daily.
How are customer service and support?
We don't need to contact support because everything is straightforward. In most cases, we solve any issues ourselves. The products are mature and provide straightforward solutions, so support is unnecessary.
How was the initial setup?
Google Drive Enterprise's deployment is easy. It's just a web application.
What was our ROI?
The biggest value is that you don't need to exchange files manually. You have a central repository and concurrent users, which is quite important.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
You don't need to pay if it is within your storage limits. If you need more, you can have a corporate license. I don't know the pricing, but there is a corporate license. The extra costs would only be if you exceed these free limits.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the overall product a ten out of ten. I would advise others to start using it without hesitation. It's safe and reliable so that you won't lose your data.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
Easy to use and allows for collaboration between users
Pros and Cons
- "can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility."
- "One problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days."
What is our primary use case?
As a student, I use Google Drive to share documents with other students. Google Drive is useful for students like me who need to upload assignments, which can be in various formats like Microsoft Powerpoint, Excel, etc. Teachers can also share unusually large files with students by sharing links instead of emailing them directly, which helps to share larger files that cannot be shared via Gmail.
What is most valuable?
With Google Drive, I can create my own folders and share them with my friends. I can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility.
What needs improvement?
One thing about Google Drive is that it's not really compatible with Microsoft Drive. For example, if I have Microsoft OneDrive and want to share files in an Excel format, it shows up in my Google Sheets format on Google Drive. It can cause formatting issues between both drives, making it difficult to work with other companies like Microsoft.
One more problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days. So, if you want more capacity in your cloud, you need to pay for it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's quite stable. For example, if I have a link to a Google Drive, that link usually works. I can create many files like Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Forms. Recently, I was working with Google Forms, and there's an option for shortening the URL of the form as well. Whenever I share that link, the shortened link also usually works, and as the owner of the form, I can easily see how many responses I've got and analyze those responses.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I've only used it within my capacity. But because everyone now has a Google account, it would be quite scalable. Approximately 10,000 people in my college within my university are using it. We would like to increase the capacity because it should be more compatible with Microsoft.
How was the initial setup?
It was quite easy to set up since everyone nowadays has a Google account. You can log in and access your Google Drive with a Google account.
What about the implementation team?
No expertise is required because you just need to sign in to your Google account.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I have two Google accounts, one is my personal Google account, and the one where I use Drive more is from my university, so my university would be paying some amount, but I'm not sure about that.
What other advice do I have?
I have limited exposure to Microsoft OneDrive as well, but I would definitely recommend Google's Cloud and Google Drive due to their storage capacity and ease of use.
I would rate it an eight out of ten. One thing I recommend is that Google Drive Enterprise should provide a proper outline of how much memory is available in the cloud, and if they plan to increase their prices, the pricing should be transparent from their end.

Product Manager at Slalom Consulting
Reliable uptime with the ability to synchronize files across different platforms
Pros and Cons
- "Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot."
- "The free tier of storage is limited."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for document and file storage. Additionally, we use it to store interesting knowledge articles or books we are interested in.
How has it helped my organization?
Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot, and its uptime is always very reliable and available. So it's a great way to have important information synced across multiple devices.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is its ability to synchronize files across different platforms. So the most recent copies of information and data are available and can easily be transferred offline. For example, if I edit a document on Google Drive, I know that there won't be an older version of it somewhere else.
What needs improvement?
The free tier of storage is limited, especially regarding the photos. Additionally, there is no editing option available via the mobile application. Hence the solution can be improved by consolidating viewing and editing features on mobile devices and expanding its free storage options.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Google Drive Enterprise for several years.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the solution a nine out of ten. I recommend new users considering the solution use multiple devices to sync all their files constantly and use folders within Google Drive Enterprise. Additionally, they should be aware of capacity limits and storage limits.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
