Google Workspace Reviews

G Suite Enterprise provides many features, such as business increased search visibility, email address, and domain. It's a large whole ecosystem that is the major benefit. You can manage your whole team and have many tools. Over seven years, the solution has gone through some drastic upgrades and improvements which are done automatically, I do not have to manual upgrade.

These types of solutions were code-heavy five years ago, but if you're to recreate it using the no-code environment, they're not only growing in that perspective they're also growing the AI. "How do I handle the data at the end of it?" HubSpot is not growing those services.

There are 120 different products and Google is ready to copy their competitors and vice versa. Some of them work, and some of them don't. There are many newer tools with no-code environments which allow for a leaner self-owned system, where I'm not tied to paying hundreds and thousands of dollars a year to another company.

In the next release of G Suite Enterprise, it would be a benefit to have mapping integration. For example, receiving the location on who you're interacting with and where people are coming from.

The mapping integration feature should not be an afterthought, but an active part of engagement with the people. If I send out a post to social media because emails are not a thing anymore, you're doing it through the social channel and people respond to it. "This is where I am and here's a picture of my backyard, my company is called Tiny Toronto and we build homes in backyards." This should get mapped on a map, Google's good at maps. The marketing generation between people tagging themselves on a map, you have that information accessible in that platform that you can make outreach to them. HubSpot hasn't evolved fast enough to go at that velocity. It's on hold because it doesn't have the mapping integration into something.

I have used G Suite Enterprise within the past 12 months.

The solution is stable, we have never lost data. They don't let you delete stuff in some sense.

G Suite Enterprise support is very accessible. I can click on call back connect with someone, and they can solve my problem immediately. They are a utility company that answers the phone.

I have used HubSpot previously and they are not as dynamic as G Suite Enterprise.

If HubSpot wants to be a utility company they have to be able to answer the phone. I'm planning to move to Shopify, and it has an integration with Google Adwords, you can have fulfillment and everything in a separate ecology. I'm sure G Suite Enterprise has other things that plug into Shopify that's been built new. HubSpot is not a growing platform anymore, people have gone elsewhere, especially in e-retailing.

G Suite Enterprise requires effort to set it all up.

The price of G Suite Enterprise is reasonable compared to HotSpot. I'm not going to say G Suite Enterprise is affordable. It's valuable, you find value in paying your gas bill or your electricity bill, because of what it allows you to do.

I rate G Suite Enterprise a seven out of ten.

We use G Suite to send daily operational emails for internal and external purposes.

If I'm addressing certain emails from banks — automatic emails, like OTP, etc. — I can create rules and forward that OTP to the specific email IDs. You can create rules and deliver mail to different groups using the forwarding feature. It's handy. If I'm getting a message from the bank about paycheck processing, I can forward it to every user who has asked about their paychecks. 

When I'm away, I can automatically forward my email to another user taking over for me. A copy of the email goes to the second user, so they can take action in my absence. Any case IDs or other emails related to organizational requirements go to second-level people.

The best feature in G Suite is Google Mail forwarding and the ability to create rules based on the subject line. I found it very useful, and you can store additional data in Google Drive. 

Google Mail's spam filter needs improvement. If I'm sending mail to another email user, sometimes it goes to the spam folder, and they won't know unless they check because they aren't seeing it in the primary inbox. They may miss important emails. At the same time, I'm receiving spam that shouldn't go to my inbox.

We've been dealing with G Suite and Google Mail for 10 years. 

G Suite is stable.

G Suite is scalable. You can add as much space as you want. We have more than 200 users working with it. 

We get technical support from a third-party provider, not Google, which is difficult to contact. That is one crucial area for improvement. Google should take care of this. They have a customer care number, but it isn't easy to get immediate service. Even though my company is a paid customer, we have to go through third-party vendors. We cannot contact Google when we have any issues. With Microsoft and other vendors, I can call them directly with any problems, but it's hard to contact Google when we need technical support. 

We used Yahoo Business Mail in the past, and they had the same problems with technical support as Google, but the storage costs were cheaper. It was 1 TB per user.  

The email setup is very easy. It took less than 10 minutes to create my email account and configure it. 

G-Suite is a costly investment, but it is better than other solutions in terms of features, functions, usability, and uptime. 

The license is based on the number of users, and it's annual. There aren't any additional costs. Sometimes we have automation people who need to access an email ID, so we allocate the old ID to the new employee. 

I have other solutions also, but they're not a user-friendly as Google Mail. Some of the features I wanted weren't present, so I didn't recommend these solutions for my organization.

I rate G Suite nine out of 10. It is pretty good. Aside from a few small things, I don't have any issues.

I mainly use G Suite for keeping notes and the calendar. I also use the productivity tools or applications that belong to G Suite and the free email service as well as the Chrome browser to search Google. 

Everything is synchronized across every single device you use to access G Suite. That is why we like it. Also, the apps are intuitive, easy to use, and highly responsive. Gmail and the Chrome browser are the two tools we use the most. We also use Google Drive to upload and store files online. 

Many of the other tools are useful. I often access YouTube for personal use, but I seldom use Google Maps because I prefer Waze. Instead, I use the translator and the tool for managing photos. I use Google Keep for taking notes and also Meet because, in the business world, you need to use various tools to host web conferences with customers, vendors, and for personal use. I don't use Google Hangouts, though.

I think Meet is not as well-positioned as Zoom. That application needs to be enhanced to make it more feature-rich and easy to use. It's easy and has all the essential features, but it's not as popular as Zoom. And I think Google Translate could add more features. For example, it could be integrated when typing in a document or a web browser like Grammarly. I use Grammarly to review the way I write English, and the services included in Grammarly are excellent. Or translation features could be embedded in all the Google applications. It would also be helpful to use translation offline when you are using a desktop, tablet, or cellphone that can't access the web.

For years, everyone has been expecting Google to add a real-time AI interpreting service where you can speak in your language, and Google translates it into other languages for other users. For example, you have a cellphone or web instant messaging integrated with free phone service. They could also use translation services to make it easier to communicate among people because not everyone knows exactly different languages. So I can speak in Spanish, and you understand me in English because you listen to me in English. And if you need to ask something because you are not clear about anything that I said, you can ask a question in your language, and I listen to you in my language.

It would be an excellent service for Google. They already have a global scope and their own platform. Google has an advantage because it is at the top of the internet services. They aren't the leader in all services, but they are well-positioned as the top searching engine. Google could seize other opportunities to develop and deploy some other services we are hoping for and make things easier for everybody.

I don't know precisely how long, but we've been using G Suite for years. I think we've been using it since Google launched those services — before Google started branding this set of apps G Suite. I don't know when they decided to bundle their solutions into G Suite and Plus. Google is the leading provider of internet services, so of course, I use applications from Google.

G Suite's performance is good. It's highly stable.

Google has many data centers, and their services are in their cloud. The performance in all of their applications is excellent. I can't say a bad word about G Suite.

I haven't ever needed to use Google support because everything works. I don't remember when Google has locked a service or went down due to a bug. So I think they produce excellent applications. They have an excellent approach to quality, testing, and user satisfaction. Google keeps things as simple as possible.

G Suite applications are all web-based, so you do not have to download anything. It's simple compared to some other products. 

I rate G Suite nine out of 10. I highly recommend it. Google email services have been helpful for us. I worked for the second-largest public university in Costa Rica, and there was a need to have thousands of active email addresses. It's complex to configure all of them yourself and maintain an email server. Google email offered an effortless way to implement the email for more than 20,000 different addresses that needed to be opened every year. I would say Google Mail must be the most used application globally. Google Mail is a great application, and the service is suitable for personal or enterprise use.

The product is user-friendly and knows how to appeal to a user. Google Docs accepts some of our requirements. Its most valuable feature is performance. The product's integrations are good.  

Google Workspace needs to be more flexible, like Microsoft Excel. 

I have been using the product for a couple of years. 

My company has 400 users. 

The tool's deployment is easy. It is a cloud solution, and you must just log in to use it. You need a team of ten resources to deploy it. 

Google Workspace's deployment can be done in-house. 

We have enjoyed benefits like time, money, data acquisition, and records with the tool's use. 

The solution is expensive. 

I rate Google Workspace an eight out of ten. The product has a high level of security and I haven't encountered any kind of violation. 

The product is a SaaS platform that helps us work remotely from anywhere in the world with just internet access. We can send emails and collaborate with friends. It is a secure workspace.

Google Chat is the most valuable feature of the solution. We can communicate with our domain users effectively. We can share documents and content and have quick meetings. We can collaborate with friends securely and seamlessly without downtime.

The product could improve the number of participants allowed in a meeting and the strength of the meetings. It can also improve the sending limit.

I have been using the solution for the last four years.

The tool is stable, secure, and seamless.

The product is scalable. Around 400 users are using the product in our organization.

I have asked many questions to the support team when there are any struggles with email deliveries. The support provided was satisfactory.

The deployment is a lengthy process.

The deployment process depends on the platform we use. If we had used a different platform before, we would have had to migrate users’ drive, email, and calendar data to Google Workspace. These processes then lead to change management because most users are unfamiliar with it. I don’t need staff members to deploy the solution.

The time taken for deployment depends on the user base. If there are 300 users, it can be done within 15 days. The solution does not require maintenance, but an administrator is required to manage the users, configurations, and policies.

The product provides updates on a regular basis. We chose the product because Google is growing in its user base and security. The tool is easy to use, and we can leverage the product. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

It's easy to control the admin settings, like updating the SDS, NIK, etc. I

I don't recommend Google Workspace to others. It's expensive. Also, Google doesn't have enough oversight on their partners, so you will face some difficulties dealing with them instead of directly with Google.

I have worked at this company for three years, but they have used Google Workspace for more than 10 years. 

I rate Google Workspace seven out of 10 for stability.

I rate Google Workspace five out of 10 for scalability.

I rate Google support eight out of 10. When we were having issues with security and email, they were perfect. 

Positive

Deploying Google Workspace is straightforward. We deployed in-house with two IT staff.

Google Workspace isn't worth the money.

I rate Workspace 1 out of 10 for affordability. We pay a yearly license

I rate Google Workplace seven out of 10. It's useful for enterprises of any size.

I mainly use G Suite for collaboration, online meetings, document sharing, and email.

G Suite's most valuable feature is document sharing.

Improvements to G Suite would be the ability to collaborate more easily and better quality video compression in Google Meet. 

I've been using G Suite Enterprise for about five years.

G Suite is very stable.

We haven't had any issues with scalability - we have over a thousand employees, and G Suite just scales.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We're seeing a good ROI as we use G Suite for many purposes.

G Suite is affordable.

My main use case for the solution is communications and to extend collaboration mostly around spreadsheets and a few groups, but mainly just to get teams on. We're working with fairly small teams, so I don't need a complex project management system at this stage. More and more I'm looking at using ClickUp somewhere down the line.

Valuable features of the solution are that it's simple and effective. The thing that I use most is access to documentation and being able to download a print; those are handy features for what I do. In general, basic communication administration.

To a degree, the project management service could be improved. I see the product is picking up task management specifically and we're trying to move away from emails as far as possible, but still sticking to the task management aspect.

Another area of improvement would be on the conversation side if you use the chat functions; it's a bit all over the place. But it again comes back towards the project management side, or rather workflow. To me, everything is a project, that's how I approach that.

I've been using G Suite since it was Google apps, and that was around 2009.

The stability is fine. I would rather think the local networks are falling apart, so the response times are sometimes slow, but it's not really Google related, it's network related.

The scalability is fine. I've got one site with 50 users, so scalability doesn't really matter that in that environment. On the Google apps platform, it doesn't matter if you have one, or 10, or 100 users really, because each user is just functioning on its own space.

I have not needed Google support in the reseller environment. I once needed to recover a Gmail address, which somebody created for a company and then disappeared, so there's quite a lot of information on there. And Google actually didn't help me, we had to find another way to recover it.

Prior to using G Suite, I used to run quite large projects on Microsoft Project. But that was before cloud was really involved.

The initial setup is straightforward. To integrate apps into G Suite is actually fairly simple. We're fortunately not sitting with a lot of disparate systems. I add one project and then I use IT to sync.

I would say the pricing is very affordable. To me it's cheaper to run a couple of users in a Google platform than what it would be with Microsoft Exchange. But of course, you've got Microsoft Cloud now, so I'm using that as well because clients require that.

When considering G Suite, the key is moving from the old environment, Outlook, or whatever the case might be. I wouldn't use Outlook. I would just stick to the Google interface. But my advice is, if you want change, you've got to plan properly because you'll use it often. That is probably the biggest challenge.

I sell the product, and I would recommend it. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
