Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution offers a workflow where we can collaborate and share documents. Its most valuable features are Gmail and Google Drive. Google Drive is great for file collaboration. It improves productivity. The product is on the cloud; we don't have to connect to the office through a VPN.""It has saved us money.""The solution is very stable.""Reduces IT spend, freeing up cash for other areas: sales, marketing, recruitment, etc.""We find Google Drive and mail useful for our services.""The most valuable features are the speed at which G Suite Enterprise works.""The Hangouts feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us.""We use Google Sheets extensively for things like sharing plans, data, test reports, and more."

"It is an excellent solution.""They offer good support and provide a roadmap.""HCL Domino is the best product from a security point of view.""HCL Domino is an application development and collaboration platform with strong stability and security.

Cons
"It takes a long time to import the data from G Suite into another platform.""Google Meet is a very good product, but it's not up to the mark if you compare it against other products like Zoom or Microsoft Teams.""Integrating Copilot with Google Workspace is slightly difficult.""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.""With Microsoft, you can use it on the web version, and you can use Microsoft Outlook. Google has the web version.""There are too many steps for sharing pictures.""Google needs to improve its support.""Google Workspace has limitations as a document or file management system. Without a workspace account, manual actions are required to perform tasks such as managing groups of people. Additionally, managing permissions individually is a time-consuming and inefficient process. It's difficult to articulate, but the process is not very streamlined."

More Google Workspace Cons →

"Its performance and integration could be better. It has capabilities for large deployment with several servers, but in the latest interface, running with different servers isn't supported.""The solution is expensive.""Designing a new template could provide a refreshed visual experience for users without significant changes to the underlying functionality.""The client version of this solution could be faster and be made simpler for non-IT users. You will need to have some knowledge of Notes to correctly install this solution.""Recently, IBM sold the product to HCL. Since Pakistan and India have some problems on a domestic level, we were actually considering replacing it with Indian products from the organization. We're just facing some regulatory issues.""When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly.""They should provide its integration with other AI applications.""HCL Domino needs to be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "G Suite and Microsoft Office 365 offer products with similar functionality at several different price points. Zoho offer a more extensive range of products and attempts to provide all the applications required to run most small and medium-sized businesses."
  • "Careful consideration should be given to the different licensing options and provisions should be made for additional applications that may be required for your particular business."
  • "Traffic management tools may be required for larger setups and should be included in any pricing calculations."
  • "There are several areas where a G Suite implementation can reduce costs: lower license fees than some competing products, reduced hardware, and IT support costs."
  • "There are benefits that can provide a competitive advantage, e.g., improved productivity (with appropriate training), increased collaboration (with correct use of tools), flexible working - work from home or remote locations, easy to scale - fast onboarding of new employees, and ability to add and remove licenses, as required."
  • "We receive value for the price that we pay."
  • "The pricing is a bit on the higher side than normal. For a basic Google account it costs $100, but Enterprise is %150."
  • "The price per client within the business is too high."

  • "HCL Domino has reasonable pricing. It's not expensive."
  • "For 30 licenses, we pay $1,500 every year. It is not an expensive product."
