In terms of areas for improvement, Google is improving; they are enhancing the updates and security, so they have a vision about the browser itself. Regarding Google Chrome Enterprise improvements, they need to declare some security details; they are applying security but not publishing the details about the security applied. When troubleshooting any issues, especially security issues, it is not easy to define the root cause.
I can't use Google Chrome Enterprise for my bank site because it could be the bank site issue. Something is breaking on the logging page itself, so it could be a cookies issue. As long as it is working in Edge, I am content with that. Google account storage could use some improvements. They should have a better compression mechanism or increase the free data space to the next level; at least make it 30 or 40 GB. According to the current trend, increasing the free version is better so that people can sustain for some time before making a purchase. There could be more flexible options for pricing and license for Google Chrome Enterprise. Currently, there are maybe two, three, or four options, but there should be something lesser than one TB. Customers should be able to choose extra storage according to their needs, such as 50 GB on demand, rather than predefined sizes. There aren't many complaints about the Google Admin console; maybe some improvements, especially with the parent control part. Perhaps I didn't explore that much; that could be a reason.
There are many plugins available, which are often promoted through ads. However, there's a lack of clear information on whether they are free or if they will eventually require credit card information. This causes hesitation in installing them due to concerns about hidden costs and inadequate information. Furthermore, the integration of AI, specifically Google Gemini, can sometimes be misleading.

There is a need for improved features to refine search results and narrow them down efficiently. The current tools and operators are basic, and more detailed filters could help reduce research time.

The tool is not very user-friendly. All Google products can be improved from a UX perspective. The UX is not great in Google Chrome Enterprises compared to other tools from Microsoft, Slack, and other such platforms.
Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market. The government just gives Chromebooks to schools and for use cases like education. But for people outside the government or in commercial use, it is hard to find Chromebooks. And the HP Chromebook version 11 has just disappeared. For the future, I would love it if there were more Chromebook options in the market.
Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution. Google can maybe add some AI to their solution, just like Microsoft has today. The user should be able to do some tasks and make some sheets while also being able to take the entire conversation from a meeting and do a briefing of what that meeting was about.

Speaking about improvements needed in the solution, I would say that their security is great overall. I wish there was a way that they could update things a little less often if anything. I think a lot of enterprise customers are frustrated with the browser providers and a lot of web 2.0 technology providers in this internet era where there's a lot of thinking because of the developments going on, where every six weeks, you're going to have a sprint before releasing new features, etcetera. So, we want new releases on a quarterly basis. We want it once a year. Otherwise, too many features are introduced too quickly. Honestly, other than that, there was something else I was going to say. So, a big concern is coming with the way that they're changing the way that Chrome interacts with extensions and plug-ins in the next two generations. Certain plug-ins like ad blockers will lose some functionality in the next quarter to half a year. And while that ad blocker is not something that I use, I know some people use it to deal with junky ads, etcetera. So there's a lot of concern that Google's not listening to the community on that one because folks have said they don't want that functionality to change. And I think Google's perspective is that making this change allows them to better secure their browser. But, I think it's really something that should depend on the preference of the users. If I can take that little bit of risk of vulnerability, it means I'm not having every ad pop up in front of me.
The Google browser extensions are generally useful, but the solution can be improved by including additional extensions that can be adapted to support different browsing behaviours. For example, it could be more proactive in recommending extensions. Additional data security and data privacy features could be proactively recommended by Google to show users that their data is being used responsibly.
You still need to have a pretty good understanding of GCP to deploy it properly. Their enterprise system is not just an easy thing where you can run it from the admin console. You're still running it as a GCP software as a service. They do make Chromeboxes - small form factor computers - which have a little more horsepower. The question I have on this and going forward at using Chrome OS in the healthcare side if you're looking at these workstations that are doing high-powered rendering and volumetric rendering, and take a lot of horsepower in the GPU side if they'll be able to handle that. They haven't really addressed that. That's a little bit trickier. You could run Chrome OS and you could do Chrome RDP to a virtual machine running with a lot of horsepower in the cloud as your rendering engine. You could do that, however, the tricky part about that is that a lot of times over the years we'd use Teradici or we'd use PC over IP for these high intensive graphic stations. That's still a kind of disconnect for me on the Chrome OS side. I have a mix in some hospitals where they'll say, yeah, we want Chrome OS for all the nursing computers, however, all the radiology computers have to be OnPrem Z series, Hewlett Packard works stations, or whatever. It's just not across the board perfect for every department's needs yet. When you get to the CTL-qualified laptops for Chrome OS running Parallels and running Windows applications on it, those become higher-end machines. That's okay - there's a handful of users that need to use real Windows applications, however, typically, that's not the case. I'm sort of trying to work through that right now.

The performance could improve because it uses many computer resources. If you are low on resources, such as RAM, it can cause some slowness in the computer. However, this does not happen all the time and I think if you have the proper allocated amount of RAM it would work smoothly. In an upcoming release, the enhanced troubleshooting feature needs to improve to be able to identify the issues for the use case and for the user experience.
Google Chrome Enterprise combines Chrome OS and Chrome Browser to enable work in the cloud. Manage users’ access to data, applications, and extensions without breaking a sweat. Work securely from anywhere, on any device. Your data is kept safe in the cloud.

It's a bit bulky. If we have a laptop with basic configuration, it eats up a lot of RAM and slows down the system.

The solution's interface is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement.
The solution could be made cheaper.

They need to deal with their memory management. Google Chrome is very RAM hungry. It takes up a lot of RAM resources.
