"The solution is very user-friendly."
"It's very convenient for me. I used to work in a corporate setting with shared servers and workspaces."
"The performance of this solution is fast because it is hosted by Google."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share files."
"Everything they have should be integrated into one item."
"The user interface is not very intuitive."
"The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application."
"Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode."
"They should integrate the solution with more email services."
"My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."
"There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."
"DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices."
"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."
"There is really not too much that I think needs to be added to the product to improve it. Some of the features within Sheets could be enhanced so this product is a more complete replacement for Excel."
"The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to."
"Improvements could include better editing features within a Word document, similar to the characteristics of on-premises versions, such as more formatting functions. Another improvement could be file transfer from the browser to the desktop, making it as simple as drag and drop."
"Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly."
"The storage space customization is limited, starting with 2GB and jumping significantly higher without intermediate options. Learning to use the admin console can be complex and overwhelming for some users. Additionally, the subscription payment method could be simpler, as updating payment details can be challenging if a credit card expires. For simple users, Gmail is fine, but business users often require more control."
"I had some issues with permissions at first. I have to ask for Drive permissions because I'm a new doctoral student. Sometimes I have to ask for permission because I can't access this kind of document, but recently they fixed that by adding me to their team. Now I can access any document that my department supervisors and staff share on Drive."
"It's a cloud-based product that is stable and secure, but I would like to see more security features added."
