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.

Highly flexible, useful stroage, and reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of Google Drive Enterprise is storage and the mobile version. We can connect to Google Drive, on our Android phones and store all our documents, for later access at any time. It is a very flexible solution."
  • "Google Drive Enterprise could improve the integrations. We do not use the tool very much for our corporate desktops. Additionally, Google collects a lot of personal data from the customers which is not very good and this is one of the reasons we do not use it for our corporation."

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of Google Drive Enterprise is storage and the mobile version. We can connect to Google Drive, on our Android phones and store all our documents, for later access at any time. It is a very flexible solution.

What needs improvement?

Google Drive Enterprise could improve the integrations. We do not use the tool very much for our corporate desktops. Additionally, Google collects a lot of personal data from the customers which is not very good and this is one of the reasons we do not use it for our corporation.

In a future release, the solution should be able to integrate better with Microsoft solutions, such as Outlook, Teams, and Office.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately four years.

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?

The scalability of Google Drive Enterprise is good. They give you approximately 25 GB of data to use. 

How are customer service and support?

I have not used the support.

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

I have used Microsoft OneDrive. It is well integrated with other solutions and is more secure with encryption options. This is why we use it for our corporation over other solutions, such as Google Drive Enterprise. 

Google Drive Enterprise has a strong edge over other solutions when you are using mobile devices and many of the functions are simple to use and perform quicker.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise is simple. Most people already have a Google account and it's quite easy to set up.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten.

It's easy to manage and synchronize files across multiple devices
Pros and Cons
  • "Google Drive is much more stable compared to Dropbox. Dropbox is a catastrophic solution. I used Dropbox because I manage many files, and I lost files because the synchronization between Dropbox and my customer folder was unstable. I use Google Drive to back up my files. Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer."
  • "Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users. I want to share one folder with some people and another with other groups. It's not easy to manage. You have to use Google's web interface to assign rights, but IBM Box lets you permissions directly on the Windows interface."

What is our primary use case?

I use Google Drive to synchronize between computers on the cloud, but I mainly use the solution to manage some artifacts on the cloud while synchronizing on the web between two computers. I share files between different devices, like an Apple computer, iPad, Windows PC, etc. Google Drive is the best solution, in my opinion.

I use all the Google solutions, including Google Meet and Contacts to manage my contacts. I have a lot of contacts to synchronize between phones and computers. Google's tools are user-friendly.

What needs improvement?

It's not easy to make sure you have enough space on Google Drive. I have to connect to the web application to check if I need more space. I would like it if you could right-click on Google Drive locally to see the available space. 

Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users. I want to share one folder with some people and another with other groups.  It's not easy to manage. You have to use Google's web interface to assign rights, but IBM Box lets you permissions directly on the Windows interface.

I would also like to synchronize my notes on my tablet with Google Drive. I don't know if it's possible to manage the synchronization between my personal account for my tablet on Google Drive. When I connect the solution to the cloud, the synchronization is costly, and the account size is small. I want to synchronize it with these types of solutions. You have a simple electronic device to write some notes on, and I want to synchronize with the cloud as a document, PDF, etc. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Google Drive for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Google Drive is stable. 

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

I also have used IBM Box, but I prefer Google Drive because it's effortless to install and manage compared to Box. We have synchronization problems sometimes using Box, but I never have this problem with Google Drive.

Google Drive is much more stable compared to Dropbox. Dropbox is a catastrophic solution. I used Dropbox because I manage many files, and I lost files because the synchronization between Dropbox and my customer folder was unstable. I use Google Drive to back up my files. Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer.

I've also used OneDrive, but I prefer Google Drive because it's integrated with all the other Google solutions. OneDrive creates some technical problems if you use multiple accounts. If you need to synchronize OneDrive with the two solutions, it's a nightmare to manage because Microsoft can't use two accounts on the same computer.

OneDrive's price is low, but it's not a good solution. It's a basic solution for file sharing. IBM Box's price is low, and it's a great solution, but it's geared toward professional use. I prefer Google Drive for my personal purposes.

How was the initial setup?

Google Drive is simple to set up. You only need to create a Google account. 

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

Google Drive's price is lower than competitors. I have two accounts, including one with Apple that I use to manage some pictures and contact. I use Apple Cloud for only this purpose. I use Google Drive for everything else. Compared to Google, the price of Dropbox is high and the solution isn't good.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Google Drive nine out of 10. It's perfect for me, but I would like more space for free for my personal usage. 

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?

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.

    Functional and modern with good auto-saving capabilities
    Pros and Cons
    • "Google autosaves your work, which means you won't lose things."
    • "The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to."

    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.

    It's convenient and you can access it anywhere
    Pros and Cons
    • "Google Drive is always up when I need it, so I don't have any complaints."
    • "Google Drive could offer more free storage."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use Google Drive to store files that I don't want to lose, like personal stuff, academic records, and my C.V. 

    What is most valuable?

    The performance is good.

    What needs improvement?

    Google Drive could offer more free storage. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I believe I started using Google Drive when it first came out.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Google Drive is always up when I need it, so I don't have any complaints.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    You pay for what you need, so I think it's scalable.

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

    I used DropBox in the past, but I switched to Google Drive because it's more convenient. You can access it anywhere from the web interface. 

    How was the initial setup?

    There is no installation. You only need to log in to your Gmail account. It's not technical to set up.

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

    I use the personal version. It's not a license per se. It's more like a subscription.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Google Drive nine out of 10. It isn't perfect, but I don't have any complaints.

    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."
    • "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.

    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. 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."
    • "Google Drive Enterprise can improve by having better compatibility with Microsoft files. Google Drive Enterprise sometimes blocks Japanese characters in documents."

    What is our primary use case?

    Google Drive Enterprise can integrate well with Splunk users.

    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. 

    We sometimes lose track of the files. Slack can allow users to upload files, but uploading the files gets disconnected from Google Drive Enterprise. More integration is needed.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately four years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Google Drive Enterprise is stable when there is a sufficient network connection. If someone has a slow connection they might run into issues with file syncing to the cloud and the local storage.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The scalability of Google Drive Enterprise is very good.

    Everyone in my company is using this solution.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not contacted the support from Google Drive Enterprise.

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

    I previously used OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box for file sharing with our partners, and I think everything is similar to Google Drive Enterprise. I did not find many differences.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise is simple.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Google Drive Enterprise an eight out of ten.
