Architect - Database Administration at Mitra Innovation
A fast and user-friendly enterprise solution, but the price could be better
Pros and Cons
- "I like that it's easy to use, and I'm satisfied with the speed, stability, and availability."
- "The price could be better. Google should rethink and realign its pricing strategy along with the storage prices because storage prices are going down for on-premise solutions. If they can reduce the cost or increase the storage capacity for that same tier, that would be a great advantage."
What is our primary use case?
I use Google Drive Enterprise for collaboration. We use Google Sheet, Google Forms, and Google Docs, and we can collaborate within Teams very well. It was very helpful, especially during the pandemic when we were working from home. It has been a very helpful suite, not a single application.
What is most valuable?
I like that it's easy to use. I'm satisfied with the speed, stability, and availability.
What needs improvement?
The price could be better. Google should rethink and realign its pricing strategy along with the storage prices because storage prices are going down for on-premise solutions. If they can reduce the cost or increase the storage capacity for that same tier, that would be a great advantage.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for less than a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Google Drive Enterprise is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Google Drive Enterprise is a scalable solution, and I'm satisfied with it. We have approximately 250 users, and next year we hope to increase that number by 100.

I used a different solution before but switched because of the ease of maintenance and managing storage.
How was the initial setup?
There's no installation as it's on the cloud, but we have people to do new user registration and things like that, but not a very heavy technical requirement.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price could be better.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Google Drive Enterprise a nine.

It's convenient to share documents or download shared documents
Pros and Cons
- "I'm satisfied with the basic function, and it's convenient to share documents or download shared documents you need."
- "I had some issues with permissions at first. I have to ask for Drive permissions because I'm a new doctoral student. Sometimes I have to ask for permission because I can't access this kind of document, but recently they fixed that by adding me to their team. Now I can access any document that my department supervisors and staff share on Drive."
- "I'm never sure if the problem is with Google Drive or my browser. Sometimes, it takes a long time loading, but I'm not sure we should blame Google Drive."
What is our primary use case?
I use Google Drive to share documents like meeting minutes with my doctoral supervisor and other people in my lab. I just started my doctorate, so I'm doing some literature reviews, and I have to take some notes about my supervisor's plan for four months and what we should discuss.
You can integrate Slack with Google Drive to share documents in Slack. For example, the supervisor can check the minutes and notes by clicking a link I provide in Slack. I post the notes for the article I'm reviewing, then my supervisor can check what I have read and my current profiles. Sometimes when we have seminars and presentations, the presenters will share slides on Google Drive.
What is most valuable?
I'm satisfied with the basic function. it's convenient to share documents or download shared documents you need.
What needs improvement?
I had some issues with permissions at first. I have to ask for Drive permissions because I'm a new doctoral student. Sometimes I have to ask for permission because I can't access this kind of document, but recently they fixed that by adding me to their team. Now I can access any document that my department supervisors and staff share on Drive.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used Google Drive off and on for three years while I was getting my master's degree. When I started my doctorate, the supervisor set up a Shared Drive for me, so I've been using Google Drive regularly from September 2021 until now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I'm never sure if the problem is with Google Drive or my browser. Sometimes, it takes a long time loading, but I'm not sure we should blame Google Drive. Browsers react differently. I open Google Drive in Safari and sometimes the "Back" button doesn't function well, especially when logging in.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I think Google Drive is easy to scale, but I have a student account with limited storage, so I have to file a request to my department if I want to scale. But students don't upload large documents to Google Drive or store lots of pictures and videos.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I'm Chinese, so I used some Chinese products that have a similar function, but sharing in Google Drive is more convenient. I think it works for a multidisciplinary team.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Google Drive eight out of 10. I would give it a higher rating, but it's not stable on my Safari browser. When I do something, I want to finish it very quickly, but Google Drive loads slowly in Safari.

Head of IT at Prerana Motors India
Useful synchronization feature, highly scalable, and simple installation
Pros and Cons
- "I have found the most valuable feature to be the Google Drive synchronization."
- "The solution is highly scalable, I would give it a ten out of ten."
- "The feature for synchronization of data from multiple systems with the same single ID is not happening in Google Drive. This feature should be added. For example, if I have only one single mail ID and I'm using it in a different location to upload different data, this is the challenge. It is happening from one system or one server. The synchronization of data from the local system to Google Drive will not happen if the IDs are the same. If I'm using it for different systems in different locations, synchronization is not happening. The system hets logged out. This feature is very important for us and they need to add it."
- "The feature for synchronization of data from multiple systems with the same single ID is not happening in Google Drive."
What is our primary use case?
We use Google Drive Enterprise for storing data from the servers and backup all data.
What is most valuable?
I have found the most valuable feature to be the Google Drive synchronization.
What needs improvement?
The feature for synchronization of data from multiple systems with the same single ID is not happening in Google Drive. This feature should be added. For example, if I have only one single mail ID and I'm using it in a different location to upload different data, this is the challenge. It is happening from one system or one server. The synchronization of data from the local system to Google Drive will not happen if the IDs are the same. If I'm using it for different systems in different locations, synchronization is not happening. The system hets logged out. This feature is very important for us and they need to add it.
One location I can synchronize but multiple locations with the same ID, will not work.
In a future release, they could make the solution more user-friendly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is highly stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is highly scalable, I would give it a ten out of ten.
We have approximately 450 G Suite mail IDs and for storage purposes, we are using approximately five to six mail IDs for synchronization.
How are customer service and support?
We have a third-party company that provides us with support.
How was the initial setup?
The installation is simple and user-friendly.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of Google Drive Enterprise is very good. There are different prices from different vendors, it priced competitively. For example, if I purchase a mail ID directly from Google, it'll cost me 2,500 rupees plus GST. If I buy the same from the third-party vendors, it'll be less than 2,000 rupees. On Google's website, they will quote a very high price but they should not do this. I should be able to purchase from Google at a cheaper price than what I do from third parties.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have evaluated Amazon AWS and IBM solutions. Amazon AWS has competitive prices for cloud storage and backups.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Google Cloud Engineering Lead at Persistent
Makes it easy to share documents with the whole organization and enables us to download a document anytime and in any format
Pros and Cons
- "It is very easy to use. Everything is available on the cloud, which is what I like the most. So, when we require a document, we can download it at any time and in any of the formats."
- "I have sometimes observed that when the data is very huge or there are so many rules, Google Sheets documents get stuck while uploading. It keeps on loading the document and gives an error. There should be an improvement in this aspect. It should be quick. Currently, we have to wait for a long time."
What is our primary use case?
It is a shared drive. We are a reseller, and we have multiple customers. We give training, and sometimes, when customers are having any issues, we also need to troubleshoot them.
We have its latest version.
How has it helped my organization?
It is a shared drive. It is useful for our organization for uploading documents that will be visible to all of our employees. Our HR, finance team, accounts team, and other teams use it for any important notifications or documents. They upload a document in the shared drive, and it is visible to all of the employees. Rather than sending it to everyone one by one, they just need to allow the document to be shared with the whole organization. It is convenient and easy to use.
What is most valuable?
It is very easy to use. Everything is available on the cloud, which is what I like the most. So, when we require a document, we can download it at any time and in any of the formats.
Multiple formats are available, and it also saves multiple versions, which makes it the best. We can just restore the previous version and download it based on our convenience and in our preferred format. These are some of the features that I like the most.
What needs improvement?
I have sometimes observed that when the data is very huge or there are so many rules, Google Sheets documents get stuck while uploading. It keeps on loading the document and gives an error. There should be an improvement in this aspect. It should be quick. Currently, we have to wait for a long time.
One of our customers was basically having this issue related to the transfer of ownership of a folder. A user had created the folder in Google Drive, and he had shared that folder with other users. Those users created subfolders in that shared folder or uploaded multiple documents and shared them with the whole team. When the person who has created the main folder left the organization, we had to help him to transfer the ownership of the Google Drive to someone else, but things got messy. It was hard to know who had shared what, and basically, the ownership was totally lost. The ownership should have been transferred properly in the exact structure for all folders and subfolders.
It should be easier to implement or deploy it on our system, rather than on the cloud. There should be some improvement so that it is easily deployed without files and folders getting messy or downloads not completing. Sometimes, the downloads don't complete, and the next day, it starts again. Sometimes, it gets corrupted or doesn't start from the beginning. So, it should be easy to deploy on a system.
There is a per-day upload or download limit. They should increase and improve that.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have more than six years of experience in working with Google Drive Enterprise.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In terms of scalability, it has a problem. There is a per-day limit for uploading or downloading. It is okay for a few KBs and GBs, but sometimes, when we have the enterprise plan and we have to upload and download 1 TB or up to 5 TB data for immediate purposes, there is a limit. It should be improved in that aspect.
How are customer service and technical support?
Their support is great.
How was the initial setup?
Its initial setup was okay. It only got complex when subfolders were created, and the folders and subfolders were further shared.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It has a yearly license.
What other advice do I have?
I would highly recommend this solution. There are a few things that require improvement, but it also has some very good features.
I would rate Google Drive Enterprise an eight out of 10.

What needs improvement?
Google Drive Enterprise can improve by having better compatibility with Microsoft files. Google Drive Enterprise sometimes blocks Japanese characters in documents.
I'm using Slack for internal communication and with other companies. Google Drive Enterprise has some integration with chat tools, but they can do more with the chat tools in the future.
