What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have approximately 100 users using this solution.
I rate the scalability of Google Drive Enterprise a ten out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise is simple. The process takes approximately one hour.
What about the implementation team?
We did the implementation of the solution in-house.
What was our ROI?
The solution is worth the value. We have received a return on investment. The overall solution is good, from the memory and storage given.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of Google Drive Enterprise is affordable and is one of its best features. I am on a monthly subscription.
What other advice do I have?
We have one person for maintenance that does the data backups.

Competitive Intelligence at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Functional and modern with good auto-saving capabilities
Pros and Cons
- "Google autosaves your work, which means you won't lose things."
- "Google is great when people save documents and work on them together."
- "The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to."
- "Google still has a learning curve you need to get over."
What is our primary use case?
I primarily use the solution in the same way I would use the Microsoft suite - for presentations, documentation, et cetera.
What is most valuable?
It helps me with presentations, and I use Slides for that. I also use Sheets, which is like Excel. Everything is together. It's got everything I need.
There isn't too much of a difference between Google and Microsoft products, which makes it easier, as you can work on both. I can do something in PowerPoint and convert it into Slides. The same is true in Excel, which I can put into Slides.
Google autosaves your work, which means you won't lose things. Microsoft requires you to hit save; if you don't, you can lose your work.
The functionality is good.
It is stable.
Google is newer and more modern. Many people are finding Microsoft old school in comparison.
What needs improvement?
I've used PowerPoint and other Microsoft tools over the years and find it easier to use than Google. Google still has a learning curve you need to get over. I find I have to learn all the ways to do things I know quite easily in Microsoft.
The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have 500 people in our company. Many are using Google and prefer it over Microsoft.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use a lot of Microsoft products, or used to, for 20 years. I moved from Microsoft products to Google. The organization that I moved to was using Google and so I moved over to that instead.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't deal with licensing. I can't speak to the exact costs.
What other advice do I have?
We are customers.
I'd recommend the solution. Some people may use both Google and Microsoft tools. However, Google is great when people save documents and work on them together. It seems everyone is headed toward Google, which is growing in popularity.
I'd rate the product nine out of ten. I haven't had an experience where I haven't been able to do something. It works quite well.

Senior Partner Sales Engineer at Splunk
Highly scalable, beneficial integration, and secure
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of Google Drive Enterprise are the secure file-sharing service. It is necessary to communicate with people, and the safe large file transfer is good.

What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Google Drive Enterprise are the secure file-sharing service. It is necessary to communicate with people, and the safe large file transfer is good. It's very useful and critical for us to communicate with each other nowadays. They integrate well with other Google solutions, such as Google Documents and Google Spreadsheet.
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.

What other advice do I have?
I rate Google Drive Enterprise an eight out of ten.

I'm not sure if we plan to increase usage. I'm not the right person. I'm just answering in an individual capacity as a user.
How are customer service and support?
I've never used technical support from Google. I've never reached out to them. We haven't had any issues that would have required reaching out. Therefore, I can't speak to their level of service.

Network Security Specialist at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Feature-rich, easy to use, and has ample storage for file sharing and saving
Pros and Cons
- "For me, the most valuable feature is basically saving and sharing documents with other people outside, having something to be co-shared. When documents are large in size, it is easier to send them via email."
- "Because it combines multiple functionalities and features in one place, Google Drive was my go-to storage system."
- "If they would implement something for people who have been working on Google Drive for so many years, to have an upgraded version or to be upgraded to that capacity or storage, that would be fantastic."
What is our primary use case?
Google Drive Enterprise is something that I use for my personal use.
I use Google Drive Enterprise for storage.
I don't do much with it aside from saving and sharing access to certain documents or folders with other employees. That's what I've been doing for the past four years.
What is most valuable?
It's working fine for me. The storage capacity is quite good for me, and aside from that, I'm simply sharing the majority of the items I require to be saved.
It provided me with cloud storage for a number of documents that I have, as well as with some of the vendors that I work with we can share files that cannot be sent via email over Google Drive.
It has enabled some features that will assist me in continuing my work. On a personal level, it's actually fantastic.
For me, the most valuable feature is basically saving and sharing documents with other people outside, having something to be co-shared. When documents are large in size, it is easier to send them via email.
What needs improvement?
To some extent, my usage is very limited. Perhaps my experience with it is limited to sharing and storing. There is nothing truly critical that I could share with you to have implemented or included. For the time being, Google Drive meets my needs.
Of course, having more storage capacity would improve the experience for anyone working on Google Drive.
If they would implement something for people who have been working on Google Drive for so many years, to have an upgraded version or to be upgraded to that capacity or storage, that would be fantastic. That would be extremely beneficial.
If there is even a possibility, I haven't downloaded the desktop version to see if it has the same features as the web version. But, in general, if you can set permissions on specific folders and then give people access to them, you can keep track of who is doing what. Perhaps visibility and permissions for a functionality.
In the next release, I would like to have more functionality for other users to visit my Google Drive Account.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for my personal use for a couple of years since I created my Gmail account.
I have been working with Google Drive Enterprise for four years.
I am not sure what version it is, but when I join or log in, to my Gmail, I'm redirected to the Google Drive page via whatever shortcut is available on my page.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Google Drive Enterprise is definitely a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Google Drive Enterprise scales extremely well.
How are customer service and support?
No, not until now. To be honest, I didn't have any problems that required me to contact Google technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Prior to that, I had a Dropbox account through which I used to share documents. But now that I have Google Drive, I hardly ever use Dropbox.
I believe it simply facilitates better because you have more features and functionalities than Gmail.
I either use my email account, then save things to Google Drive, and then share them through that, or I use Google Docs. Because it combines multiple functionalities and features in one place, Google Drive was my go-to storage system.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very simple. After working on it for so many years, I haven't encountered many issues or complexities.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I was reviewing the website to see what products were available.
We are planning to implement Cisco Stealthwatch in our network in the near future, I was thinking it would be a good idea to read up on the product and see what kind of features it offers.
It is still in the budgeting stage, but it will most likely be implemented in the coming months.
Because I work in the financial sector, it is required that the majority of our resources not be shared on a cloud basis. Anything that uses the cloud, such as Azure or Amazon Cloud, is usually not allowed on our network.
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.
I would rate it a perfect 10. As I previously stated, I have not encountered any difficulties or technical issues with it. It met my personal requirements for capacity and sharing. From my perspective or from my personal needs, it is working well for the time being.
I would rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten, allowing for some room for improvement.
