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.

It allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time
Pros and Cons
  • "I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices; it allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time, and I also like the versioning features."
  • "You cannot upload multiple files with the same name to Google Drive. I'm not sure how relevant it is for other users, but I have multiple files with the same name that I'm unable to upload to a single folder."

What is our primary use case?

I work on Google Drive for personal use. 

What is most valuable?

I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices. It allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time. I also like the versioning features.

What needs improvement?

You cannot upload multiple files with the same name to Google Drive. I'm not sure how relevant it is for other users, but I have multiple files with the same name that I'm unable to upload to a single folder. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Drive for around eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Google Drive is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Google Drive is scalable, but you have subscription fees to go to the next tier to save more data.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Google Drive is simple.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I rate Google Drive Enterprise eight out of 10 for pricing.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Google Drive Enterprise nine out of 10.

The environment, ecosystem and elements bundled with the solution are not strong
Pros and Cons
  • "I find it valuable to have access to my files from any location."
  • "The price of additional storage could be reduced. I have an annual subscription and I'm only using 150GB because of the price."
  • "I rate the solution a three out of ten."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution at my job at least once a week to exchange files. About 15% of my time per week is devoted to it. 

How has it helped my organization?

Staff exchange files through the solution. 

What is most valuable?

I find it valuable to have access to my files from any location. If I'm traveling, I access files via my mobile or another terminal device. I have access to materials I want to take to my class and don't have to carry anything. I just put my files in the solution and open them wherever I need them. I don't even have to carry a flash drive.

What needs improvement?

The price of additional storage could be reduced. I have an annual subscription and I'm only using 150GB because of the price. 

The environment, ecosystem, and elements bundled with the solution are not strong. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for ten years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I don't use the product often enough to rate stability. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable if you pay for additional storage. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I use 1TB of my Microsoft Drive extensively for various things. I haven't completely made the switch because of storage costs. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup was not complex, but could be improved with dashboard clarity. For example, a colleague sends me a link to a file on his drive. When opening the link, it is not apparent if the file is still on his drive or now shared on mine. I shouldn't have to open the file to store it on my drive. I would like this ease-of-use workflow item to be improved. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Storage is the only product offered and that makes it expensive to use. If you compare it to Amazon Web Services and Microsoft, storage is incidental to other products, suites, and services. For example, Microsoft offers 1TB of storage with the purchase of Microsoft Office. The perception is that Microsoft offers free storage. It is convenient to package products and have fewer vendors with one support team. If I'm looking at storage only, I look at relative costs. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have evaluated and still use Microsoft Drive. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution a three out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Easy to use and makes file management and file sharing easy
Pros and Cons
  • "Though I don't see a major difference between Google Drive Enterprise and other competitors, I find that the solution is easy to use. You just need to connect to it and upload files and give access to users who need access to the files. It's very easy to manage files and share files on Google Drive Enterprise, and these are its most valuable features."
  • "It's very easy to manage files and share files on Google Drive Enterprise, and these are its most valuable features."
  • "Security-wise, Google Drive Enterprise needs improvement. Compared to its competitor: Kiteworks, Google Drive Enterprise is less secure."

What is our primary use case?

We've been using Google Drive Enterprise internally, particularly from one developer to another, for file sharing. With it, we can upload files and share files with other users. We can also give access to users or a full company, so they can access or edit files. We can also restrict and give "view only" access, so users are only able to download and not edit the files.

What is most valuable?

Though I don't see a major difference between Google Drive Enterprise and other competitors, I find that the solution is easy to use. You just need to connect to it and upload files and give access to users who need access to the files. It's very easy to manage files and share files on Google Drive Enterprise, and these are its most valuable features.

What needs improvement?

Security-wise, Google Drive Enterprise needs improvement. Compared to its competitor: Kiteworks, Google Drive Enterprise is less secure.

As for additional features that I'd like to see from Google Drive Enterprise in the future, in terms of security, it's only asking for OTP, but that's still fine. Storage-wise, storage could be increased especially if users have a large number of files to upload and users want to maintain all those files in the cloud rather than locally.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Google Drive Enterprise for three years, and I'm still using it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Google Drive Enterprise is a stable solution. For the past three years that I've been using it, I didn't see any delay or issue when uploading or sharing files, and I also didn't experience any issues in terms of the server being down.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Google Drive Enterprise is a scalable solution. We can upload several files, but I'm unsure what the maximum file size is, for example, it could be 20 GB maximum, but I'm not sure. We can share files, but in a single upload, I'm unable to say what the limit is in terms of the file size.

How are customer service and support?

We didn't get the chance to connect with the technical support for Google Drive Enterprise because we haven't faced any issues with the solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I have no information about the licensing or cost associated with Google Drive Enterprise.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated Kiteworks.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Google Drive Enterprise to other users. Normally the bank my company works with prefers Kiteworks, but my company suggested Google Drive for sharing and maintaining files and the bank is also okay with it.

I'm rating Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten versus Kiteworks which I'm rating a seven out of ten.

Integrates well, has adequate storage, and is user-friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "It's easy to access from an Android device and can access things like cyber security restrictions on USB drives, file size, and so on. Google Drive will be an option."
  • "I would like to see the price reduced in the next release."

What is most valuable?

It's easy to access from an Android device and can access things like cyber security restrictions on USB drives, file size, and so on. Google Drive will be an option.

So far, I have been pretty happy with it.

I don't believe there will be many issues with integration. It's quite simple.

I'm not a frequent user. I don't have any issues connecting to Google Drive.

What needs improvement?

Everyone wants more storage space, but for me, it's adequate.

I would like to see the price reduced in the next release.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Google Drive Enterprise for three or four years.

If you are a user, or if you have friends who use Google Suite, you will always deal with Google Drive.

I use it less, as there are several other options available.

I use both the mobile and web versions of this solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Google Drive Enterprise is stable. I am satisfied with the stability of this solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have no complaints about Google Drive Enterprise's scalability.

How are customer service and support?

I did not contact any support desks, but any support can be easily found on the internet.

When you search the web, you can easily find it. Everything is there.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have experience with both Automation Anywhere as well as UiPath, but more with UiPath because our company is a UiPath partner. We have a team of RPA specialists.

I also have experience using cloud solutions such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Today, you cannot avoid other clouds. I cannot ignore any of these cloud provider services, along with Power platform, SharePoint, Office 365, Teams, and Dynamics.

We have recently encountered a number of SharePoint requirements. It's becoming increasingly popular. It is a hot topic in Hong Kong.

Dynamics is also becoming more popular.

How was the initial setup?

In my opinion, the initial setup was acceptable. For a basic user, it is straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

That would be ideal if it were as cheap as possible.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated other solutions such as OneDrive, and I like Google Drive better.

Perhaps I am used to the Google Drive experience. So, yeah, I prefer it to OneDrive. I believe it's just a matter of getting used to things as they are.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to anyone who is interested.

I would rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten.

Useful for sharing information, creating and checking reports, and making presentations
Pros and Cons
  • "The tool is intuitive and easy to use."

    What is our primary use case?

    Google Drive Enterprise is useful for sharing information, creating and checking reports, and making presentations.

    What is most valuable?

    The tool is intuitive and easy to use. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I haven't had any stability issues with Google Drive Enterprise. I rate its stability as seven or eight out of ten. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Ten percent of my clients use Google products. The tool's scalability is excellent. My clients have around 300-400 users. 

    How are customer service and support?

    I haven't contacted the support since I didn't encounter any issues. 

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I also use Microsoft One Drive.

    What other advice do I have?

    The tool used to crash on virtual desktops. However, it wasn't an issue with the product; it was with the virtual desktop. 

    I haven't worked as an administrator with Google tools, but I receive much news about their security. Previously secure, they have become even more secure now. Our clients who use Google tools don't experience many security problems. It's a good and secure solution. 

    I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. I recommend that people try it before making a decision. In my opinion, it's more about comfort rather than concerns about security or stability when compared to other suites.

    Used to create, store, and share documents securely
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing with partners."
    • "The solution's capacity could be increased to store more documents."

    What is our primary use case?

    We create folders and store our documents in Google Drive. We can give folder access to our friends, colleagues, customers, or partners. If they want to download, we can also give them download access.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing with partners.

    What needs improvement?

    The solution's capacity could be increased to store more documents. We currently access the solution by clicking a link that shows us all the applications, such as Calendar and Drive. We currently don't have the Google Drive option on top of the email, which allows us to access the solution immediately.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution’s stability is very good.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Google Drive Enterprise is a very scalable solution. Earlier, using the solution was very difficult, but now it's very easy to operate. We can easily share folders and move files from one folder to another. It takes very little time to upload. Earlier, it used to be very slow, but now it can upload very fast. Around 30 users are using the solution in our organization.

    I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.

    How was the initial setup?

    The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution.

    What other advice do I have?

    Google Drive Enterprise was very useful for one SAP project we did recently. We uploaded all the technical specifications in project documents, stored them in Google Drive Enterprise, and shared them with our team members. The team members could access them very smoothly, and the project went very smoothly after using the tool. I would recommend the solution to other users.

    I would recommend the solution to other users because it is a very good DMS (document management system) tool for storing documents. Google Drive Enterprise is a scalable, easy-to-operate, and secure solution.

    We have been operating G Suite for almost five years now. Long before that, we used Google Drive Enterprise on our personal and official accounts. We have not faced any technical issues with the solution and can access it anywhere. The solution is also mobile-friendly. I can download a file from my mobile and share it with my employees.

    Overall, I rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten.

    A solution that offers its users an option to easily share and collaborate
    Pros and Cons
    • "Google Drive Enterprise provides convenience to its users. Also, it provides its users the option to easily share and collaborate."
    • "Some features like transpose are still lacking in the solution for power users."

    What is most valuable?

    Google Drive Enterprise provides convenience to its users. Also, it provides its users the option to easily share and collaborate. So, these are some of the main benefits of the solution.

    What needs improvement?

    Regarding the applications available on Google Drive Enterprise, specifically products like Google Docs and related offerings, offer a compatibility level that is very good. Some features like transpose are still lacking in the solution for power users. While these products are quite good, transitioning between Microsoft and Google products can be problematic because not all features convert as smoothly as expected.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    In our company, we use Google Drive Enterprise. Also, we are customers of the product.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Stability-wise, I haven't had any outages while using the solution.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I don't see any problems with the scalability of the solution because our company is still growing, and we don't have a large number of employees yet. Currently, we only have a couple of hundred employees. So, we aren't pushing it that hard, but we have had no issues so far.

    How are customer service and support?

    In our company, we never had a reason to contact the technical support team.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I use lots of Google and Microsoft products mainly, apart from OfficeSuite, Google Cloud, and other Google-related products since my company heavily uses all of these products.

    How was the initial setup?

    I wasn't involved in the tool's setup. However, getting my own personal account was very easy. I had to just sign up, after which I got a link from our IT. I just had to go through it. So, the setup was very easy.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would say that it's a fine product. I never have any hesitations about its basic functionality or from a stability standpoint. So, I would definitely recommend it to others. That being said, if you are a power user who frequently switches between Microsoft and Google Drive Enterprise, there are some peculiarities that you should be aware of, and so I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
