Google Workspace Reviews

The solution is easy to use, and you don't need a lot of knowledge for it. Also, if anyone changes a document in the workspace, you can set up messages telling you if someone changes a document.

Google needs to improve its support.

I've used the solution for around ten years.

I rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten because it can always be improved.

The solution is scalable since it's just software. We have about ten users in my company on the solution, and we plan to increase the number of users. We have people in IT, the manager, and the sales department using the solution.

The quality of support depends because sometimes they are very fast. By contrast, if I want to change a registered number from mobile to landline, Google tells me it's impossible because it violates their rules. I must then send them proof that the landline belongs to the company. But I should be able to change it without questions since I own the account. I have a similar problem with changing the location because Google has set my location to the next building. I've tried five times already, but it only shows the proper building for 20 minutes before returning to the other one.

Tech support either doesn't answer requests, or you have to open a new ticket.

The initial setup is straightforward. It took five minutes to deploy the solution. To deploy the solution, I needed to create a login, and then I got access to spreadsheets or any other documents.

You don't need any IT people to deploy the service. You can do it yourself. In my company, two people in the IT department are looking at deployment and maintenance, helping with IT problems.

Google Workspace is good for everybody. Everyone can participate in editing documents. Moreover, you don't have to send any documents. You just need to log into your Google account, and you will have access. Likewise, you can access documents from anywhere if you have the Internet.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten and recommend others use it.

We use the tool for email and Google Drive. 

We find Google Drive and mail useful for our services. 

The tool should improve its on-prem capabilities to include people who are working offline. The pricing is also a challenge for both the Indian and overseas markets. The tool has a cap of 300 licenses. The product's price has also increased by 10 percent. Businesses are struggling to justify the ROI. Users cannot block emails unless they have a strong firewall. 

I have been using the tool for twenty years. 

The product is stable. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

I use it for communicating with people, editing files simultaneously, sharing files, and uploading documents. 

From my point of view, there is a lot of room for improvement in the workspace, particularly in the cloud and premises environment. I would like to learn more about how to communicate, edit things, and use the cloud as a hosting environment for a website. I lead IT for websites in WordPress and have been using Google Workspace, but I would love to know more about how I could use Google Cloud for my purposes. 

Additionally, I need to figure out how to manage phones, save things, and use the software for business management.

I've been using Google Workspace since it was first introduced. Whenever something new is released, I start using it immediately.

I would rate the stability a five out of ten. From the products I have used so far with Google, I would rate stability around five because I've seen it keep developing and being stable in general.

I had issues with Google Ads, which is another product of Google not exactly coordinated with Workspace. But I didn't have any issues with Workspace.

In general, I trust Google products. I would definitely recommend using the solution. Overall, I would rate it around seven 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 use this solution in a variety of different cases i.e. emailing, audio and video conferencing, sharing files, etc.

The solution offers great integration and security, better than Microsoft in my opinion.

We value the collaboration levels that are offered. Having everything integrated in a single platform is a dream come true for us.

I believe that Sheets could have a more functional and user-friendly interface. Google Sheets currently lacks macros and cross-file links that can be found in Excel.

I have been using this solution for almost five years now.

This is a stable solution.

This is a scalable solution, we have some customers who install G Suite for thousands of users and have no had any issues.

We have only needed to contact support twice over the last five years and have no complaints with them.

We were originally using Microsoft but we switched for security reasons. We faced many spam attacks on the Microsoft platform and Google offered spam filters which were attractive to us so we decided to migrate everything there.

Overall, Google beats Microsoft on the price, performance, and security features.

The initial setup was straightforward and took just a couple of days to deploy within the whole company.

We implemented the solution ourselves.

We have seen high ROI.

The overall cost is very reasonable when considering all of the security features that you are receiving. It is a bit more expensive than our localhost and/or other hosting companies that are available on the market, but it is worth it.

I would highly recommend this solution, it is a no-brainer that this is one of the best cloud platforms available. The only reason you should not go with G Suite is if you have some strict regulations to keep everything on your local devices or within your local network.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

In terms of IT tools, we basically use Google Enterprise Solution to set up most of our services in Azure, whereas we use Azure Portal to set up all the VM, network, security, and everything else on it. Everyone is on remotely, in the system. We are using Google Chrome Enterprise for our email network, email link, and many of the apps there.

Email is one of the most important items, the others are collaboration, conferencing, and meetings. There would be more conferencing at meetings. Those are the main scenarios in which we use it.

The email, we believe, is what we like best. The email is excellent. It is simple to locate the information. We use it because it came from Microsoft Outlook, and the way Google tags information is very simple and easy to use.

Once you start using the collaborative platform in terms of creating the Excel document, both of us can be looking at the same time, they have a meeting look at the document, you and I can work on it at the same time, which is fantastic. 

We have a team of people working on these. In terms of collaboration, and simple ease of use, I think Google is good. There isn't much you need to work on in terms of security; it's pretty good in terms of how to be secure, ensuring that no one can hack the system, and so on. It appeared to be working well for us. We are also pleased with the enterprise support.

The space they provide is fantastic.

There is no such thing as being difficult to use.

The UI could be more graphic and sassy, but otherwise, it is quite functional.

We started working with G Suite Enterprise last year.

I can only recall one or two occasions when we lost access to Gmail. Aside from that, I haven't had any problems with that system. It is very stable.

I have never had to use technical support. The system is pretty simple to use.

With controlling the various groups, I never have to go into it. The integration with Google Drive and all those features in both sharing documents is very simple, as is creating a site to support different teams. I haven't reached that point where I have to contact support. They also have a lot of people, and a lot of videos to view and make it pretty simple.

I haven't had a reason to contact them. There is a good online community base for people who use these tools.

In terms of time, I'd say that it has been more than a couple of years since we used Google Chrome Enterprise. We swapped because of the number of people we have on the Enterprise, and I believe we started putting it on it last year to enable the network and securities.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward and simple.

Security-wise, grouping people, creating permissions, and so on are all very simple. Very simple to use

In terms of pricing, I don't deal with that area because it's on the outside. I just basically recommend the solutions we are using.

I am not aware of the pricing, other than I believe it is comparable to the majority of the system, but because we have been using it for so long, switching from one to the other is difficult.

The pricing is comparable, it's pretty decent. This is why we have been using this solution and haven't switched to anything else.

Before implementing it has to be appropriate for the model. Our thing is that there are a lot of us, and our work is done remotely. It has to be a good fit for how we do things. It all depends on how the enterprise is run. For us, it is extremely effective, mainly because of the collaboration, especially, because both of us are not in the same office talking. Having this collaboration is fantastic.

I would rate G Suite Enterprise a nine out of ten.

We use G Suite for email, spreadsheets, producing documents, presentations, chat, and notes. 

The most valuable part of G Suite is the integration among all of the components. It's also highly reliable because it's always available. And G Suite's ability to collaborate on all the standard office tools has no rival. It's amazing because you can work seamlessly with any of your colleagues on the same document. It's perhaps the single greatest feature that that tool has.

G Suite could offer something a little more solid in terms of chat — something that is a little more like Slack and integrates with everything. But, unfortunately, the chat is very basic there. It doesn't offer that many features and feels like it doesn't belong there. 

As far as features I'd like to see, G Suite already has a lot of tools that integrate natively with it. For example, the CRM that we use integrates natively with it. But maybe it could be better integrated with mobile phones and SMS. I don't really use them that much, but the cell phone is our second-most used work tool, so more mobile integration could be great. By that, I mean integration at the call level — logging to calls and stuff like that— could be helpful in some specific cases, but that already is integrated. It has apps, Google Phone, etc., but SMS is the one part that isn't integrated.

I've been using G Suite for about four years now.

G Suite is stable. I think I can remember only one time that it failed for a brief period.

G Suite is scalable. It offers so much storage. I even use it for my family as well. I have a 2 terabyte plan and it's amazing. You put whatever you need in there, and I've never reached a limit. You can create as many documents as you want. From the user's standpoint, it's great. It'll have the greatest scalability. 

I rate G Suite Enterprise 10 out of 10. If you are considering it, I would say just go ahead and do it. It's great.

We primarily use the solution for work and also for the MDM BYOD control.

We're currently still testing the solution. It's very early in the process.

I'm also aware of Microsoft's MDM. When compared with Google, they are both pretty much the same, and not too different.

The initial setup is easy.

The scalability is good.

I have found the solution to be pretty stable.

We mostly needed G Suite for the data to implement the BYOD policy. We're still in the process. Once everything is implemented, my understanding is that it will work well for us, however, it's still very early in the process. Right now, we're still in the testing phase.

We'll need to have more control of the data lake once we have the BYOD policy in place. We need more control in terms of DLP going forward. This solution doesn't seem to really cover that functionality.

There seems to be a bit of vulnerability on some operating systems, specifically on the iPhone. There isn't as much control as if a person is using an Android. That's a bit of a concern.

There may be some usability issues within the browser.

We have not begun using it yet, however, we have the license. We have the license for testing. We've used the solution for about two months in a testing capacity.

To be fair, I only tested Google G Suite and have not compared it to another provider vendor.

That said, the enterprise edition is quite stable compared with simply using Google on the browser to read the email. I find it's not easy to read on the browser.

The scalability on offer has been fine and it seems to be able to expand quite well.

I've never been in touch with technical support. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful they are, or how quickly they respond to questions.

We have found the implementation process to be straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

I'm on the security team. I can't speak to the exact licensing costs. It's not a part of the product I deal with directly. 

We did look at different options.

In Thailand, you need to have control the BYOD. That's why we tried to find a solution that addresses this. Our organization already was using the Google G Suite and we decided to move to Enterprise.

I'm not the direct implementer of the product. I just looked into the features inside, however, I did not directly set up G-Suite and therefore I can't be sure if it's a cloud-based deployment.

We are just customers and end-users. We don't have a partnership with Google.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. When I compare it to the Microsoft offering, it's pretty good.
