Google Workspace Reviews

Awesome collaboration features. Great group meetings, sharing, and using an integrated environment with office tools.

All-in-one package for our business needs. A complete integrated environment for our business. I get Google docs, Gmail, online space, and calendar where I can easily perform all documentation, storage, and communications online.

Google Apps for Business and Skype for Business are the perfect solutions for every business thriving online. It is very easy and inexpensive to get work done with these applications online.

I need more integration features in both Google Apps for Business and Skype for Business. There are certain office productivity features which need to be integrated in them. Also, if possible, some more useful features could be added, and the performance speed could be improved when the internet connection is slow.

We receive value for the price that we pay. 

A great innovation from one of the best tech leaders in the industry.

The use case is a small business in the process of developing a content strategy for a website. A common user that is me already has a Google account, searched online for Google Apps for Business, and then decided to take advantage of the variety of resources available for the G Suite. 

I have no nonprofit organization, so it has not improved anything. However, the extra space in Drive is a potential improvement in user experience because most of the people in our organization are using either a Dropbox or Drive space.

Since my goal was to extend my analysis, I found the additional Drive and Gmail storage to be very valuable. Next is the interroperability with Microsoft Outlook, which is a feature also used with Hotmail. I figured the 24/7 phone and email support was a must, too for a new business/startup.

The Outlook integration or plug-in for current outlook clients is a huge area for improvement. Calendar, contact, all that can be synched needs to be managed too.

No, not really. But it was rather extra work to configure the IMAP or POP on a smartphone.

No.

Customer Service: I would say that the customer service responded. There was a really fast email response and there were links to educational materials in relation to deployment. Technical Support: Prompt and fixed.

No, I did not use a different solution.

The initial setup is complex. It involved browsing, knowledge of IMAP and POP, and the two-step verification was in place, and then I had to consult with the smartphone provider before I access the Google Apps for Business.

I did not implement through a vendor team. 

I wanted to see if it would help make better use of my Google+ pages for business. I wanted everything to appear seamlessly, and effortlessly painless.

The average day-to-day cost is a little bit extra storage capacity for the browsing on my smartphone, which I normally don't use for the specific tasks.

I looked at cloud.google.com, and then I also took another look at blog hosting that provides email and website hosting.

I think the on-boarding could be made more efficient, but that doesn't mean more time.

Email and suite of productivity tools for business users. It can be a good alternative to MS Office 365. A lots of add-ons available to add full CRM functionality and a variety of tools to help run your business.

• Fast to set up and easy to use for most users. 
• Mail and drive work well on mobile.
• Good performance, even on relatively slow connections; no local apps required. 
• Users can work anywhere with an internet connection. 
• Reduces IT spend, freeing up cash for other areas: sales, marketing, recruitment, etc.

• Great mail client with fast search and a lot of storage.
• Drive storage makes it easy to share documents and collaborate with co-workers and others outside the organisation.
• Google forms are great for questionnaires and surveys.
• Good integration with Android devices.

Some concerns over security, but there are moves to address this and provide admin tools to secure content and adhere to data protection regulations. 

G Suite is generally rock solid, but there are inherent risks with any cloud solutions. Internal hardware, networks, and communications are more likely to be points of failure than Google's own infrastructure.

G Suite is mostly used by SMEs, but with Google's infrastructure and new enterprise features, there is no reason why G Suite could not be adopted by the largest companies.

There are several online forums and a lot of support materials online. G Suite administrators on paid-for subscriptions get access to support by telephone, email, or chat. 

There can be some complication if migrating from other providers. A lot of online training materials are available and there are many independent vendors and consultancies that can help with it. 

Our in-house team is experienced in installing and configuring G Suite in a variety of scenarios. There are many reputable vendors who can provide setup, migration, training, and/or support depending on your requirements.

There are several areas where a G Suite implementation can reduce costs: lower license fees than some competing products, reduced hardware, and IT support costs. 

There are also other benefits that can provide a competitive advantage, e.g., improved productivity (with appropriate training), increased collaboration (with correct use of tools), flexible working - work from home or remote locations, easy to scale - fast onboarding of new employees, and ability to add and remove licenses, as required.

G Suite and Microsoft Office 365 offer products with similar functionality at several different price points. Zoho offer a more extensive range of products and attempts to provide all the applications required to run most small and medium-sized businesses. 

Careful consideration should be given to the different licensing options and provisions should be made for additional applications that may be required for your particular business. As with all cloud solutions, bandwidth is key and budget should include a provision of sufficient bandwidth to support the required number of users. Traffic management tools may be required for larger setups and should be included in any pricing calculations.

G Suite competes with Microsoft Office 365 and the Zoho suite of applications, which provides solutions for virtually all business activities including Sales, Marketing, HR/Recruiting, Accounts, Project Management, Customer Support, and more. Each has its own strengths and can be great solutions for different types and sizes of businesses.

G Suite can be an excellent solution for many organisations, but there are several factors to consider before implementing any cloud-based solutions. It is best to get expert advice before committing to any particular vendor's product suite. Whatever solution you decide on, make sure you invest in training to get the most from the products. There are no magic bullets, but well trained users will be your best business investment whatever applications you decide to use.

It needs better Enterprise controls.

We've used it for seven years.

Mainly migration issues from IBM Notes.

There were no issues with the stability.

We've had no issues scaling it.

It's good.

It's good.

It's very straightforward.

We did it in-house.

It's justifiable.

The price is attractive as India enjoys a special price.

There were no other options looked at.

Go for it and use it effectively. Do take change management from Google.

• Standard and custom design pages
• Easy maintenance
• APIs
• Videos
• Other Google services

It helps us to design and development our company intranet.

It also allows us to manage technical activities and to develop e-learning applications.

• Very easy to administer
• Most users find it easy to use
• It's free for many non profit organizations

It was much easier and cheaper for us than most email solutions as we didn’t have to worry about anything except setting up users.

People who are used to Outlook hate it but I’m not really sure what should be improved, as that is feedback that I got. I would love to see threading handled in a more “classic” inbox way. As far as I know, that’s everyone's biggest complaint about Gmail, and in most respects, Google Apps for Education email is just like Gmail.

I've used it for over two years.

No issues encountered.

It was extremely reliable.

No issues encountered.

It's non-existent.

There is a decent amount of information online about administering Google Apps, but more would be helpful.

Google Apps was the only email solution we used.

It was very simple.

We implemented it in-house.

If we hadn’t had this product, we wouldn’t have had email. I’m sure someone has figured out that email in a business actually has negative ROI, but we’re all going to keep using it anyway.

It was almost zero as we paid nothing for the licenses, and the setup cost was only a few hours of our time.

No we didn't as we were looking for a free and lightweight option, and Google Apps satisfied both.

If switching, practice with one unimportant mailbox first. If you’re starting afresh, just follow the instructions.
