We performed a comparison between Google Workspace and Microsoft Intune based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Google, Microsoft, Zimbra and others in Email Applications."It is quite a useful tool. It allows many people to work on a document. You can actually provide review comments and tag anybody to make the comment changes. You can also attach a document in Google Chat."
"Good search features, reliable storage, and quick thinking."
"The solution is stable."
"I use Keep to assign tasks to a team of programmers, which is very easy."
"A complete integrated environment for our business. I get Google docs, Gmail, online space, and calendar where I can easily perform all documentation, storage, and communications online."
"G Suite and all of Google were the first to have a built-in multifactor authentication without needing to purchase another product."
"When it comes to email, Google has a very good anti-spam engine or solution. We get very less spams. We don't have to use an external anti-spam solution with this."
"We find Google Drive and mail useful for our services."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"They can maybe improve its graphical user interface. Google is not really known for having a PC interface. It is just a nice-to-have feature."
"Less customizations than there used to be."
"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."
"It would be nice to have additional software, such as Microsoft Teams, since our basic edition, Google Meet, cannot record video."
"We use Zoom most of the time for official meetings, and we use Google Meet only for internal meetings. I would like to get an improvised Google Meet. It would be good if they can make Google Meet more clear in communication and more scalable like Zoom."
"And I think Google Translate could add more features. For example, it could be integrated when typing in a document or a web browser like Grammarly."
"I talked with G Suite recently because my G Suite has a temporary block. I communicated with the G Suite representative or Google representative, and he told me that I sent a lot of emails, so my email was temporarily blocked. But I know I have not sent more than 500 emails daily to reach the limit. I sent only 5,200 emails, but unfortunately, my G Suite account was temporarily blocked for 24 hours, and then he resolved it. I think they need to improve G Suite because this temporary block is not fair."
"With the Internet of Things, a platform that integrates well with others would be even better."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."

I hope to be helpful
I agree with @Saiyed Shahab Ahmed. You should also consider the management overhead of having multiple productivity tools.
Intune is more recommended for Microsoft OS or Microsoft products. On Chromebooks, if you are going with Google tech stack of Office apps, Google Workspace will be your go-to option in this case.
