More Google Drive Enterprise Pros →

"The initial setup is easy to implement and deploy.""It is flexible.""Sharing screens, even on mobile devices, is great.""The installation is very easy.""The solution allows for easy collaboration. You are able to use, for example, Excel and go online to the cloud and save your documents offline rather than on a personal hard drive. In my organization, we promote collaboration when possible and this solution does a good job at providing this functionality. The solution is always updated and we receive the latest features. Additionally, they offer many other services we do not use very much but are available, such as Power BI.""Microsoft Business 365 is quite stable.""It's great that many people can collaborate together at the same time.""You can have conference calls with different parties using video and voice."

Cons
"The product does not support certain formats.""It's become difficult to fit everything in one window.""If somebody has made changes, for example, there should be a timestamp. Also, if two or three people are working and someone deletes something, a mechanism to retrieve the previous version should be available.""I want better support, and I expect quicker support for any issues.""One problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days.""Lacks scalability and security.""The desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment.""The storage limits could be higher."

More Google Drive Enterprise Cons →

"The installation should be supportive of and able to integrate with Linux.""The stability could be improved.""One thing we did not like, about Excel particularly, is that it hangs a lot. It hangs a lot compared to Google Sheets.""The initial setup is slightly complex.""Lacks ability to deploy on more than two devices per license.""The pricing model could be improved.""The integration is good but could be better.""Microsoft Teams can be improved. It is a bit taxing on resources and is resource-heavy on the devices. When you install it on a PC, it uses a lot of memory. They should look for a better price model for educational institutions, and it should be free. We are also using Google Suite, which is free for educational institutions. They charge business people, not nonprofit institutions."

  • "Depending on which plan you purchase, there are a plethora of applications available to you."
  • "Compared to buying a license, it is much cheaper and a good buy."
  • "We do monthly billing, however, I'm not sure what the exact costs are. We may pay around $1,000/month. We started using the Microsoft Teams and we've started doing the conference call feature, so that's another $4 an account and we have a few accounts using that right now."
  • "USD $1,250 annually for the standard package."
  • "Pricing can vary a lot due to fluctuations in exchange rates and that is not favorable for planning."
  • "Now you can select different licenses, for example, if somebody doesn't need all of the features, it would cost $8 USD per month and if they didn't need the email application then it would cost $6 USD per month."
  • "It works out to be $12.50 per user per month."
  • "Microsoft 365 Business will be good to have if you have a large organization where you have more than 3000 employees. Other cheaper solutions, like Gmail, are easily available in the market."
