Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is easy to use, and you don't need a lot of knowledge for it.""Convenient to share and collaborate documents.""The security and privacy policies of G Suite make it efficient, and the organizational data is secure.""We haven't had any issues with scalability - we have over a thousand employees, and G Suite just scales.""The document sharing in which multiple people can work on the same document. To go along with that is the archiving of documents. If you mess up a document, it's easy to go get a previous version.""G Suite Enterprise is user-friendly, and the technical toolkits and other information are on the website. Additionally, the technical documents are comprehensive.""I think it is a great subscription for me. I think it is important, especially when making an internal email subscription. For example, I can easily create my colleague's email address, and we can use it. I benefited from G Suite. I am using the G Suite Drive, which provides 30GB of storage, and it is helping for me. I think it's better for me.""The solution's technical support is very good."

"An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources.""IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people.""It's scalable and stable.""The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful. It is convenient that everything is in one place. You can easily share and collaborate documents, making the program's unity a significant advantage.""The product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it. Also, there is no requirement for any administrators to manage the product by the people who own the solution.""The groupware module is the most valuable feature.""The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions.""The solution's voice services work well for our company."

Cons
"Sometimes, I would like to be able to use the solution offline, and I can't do so. It would be ideal if there was some sort of offline mode available.""The stability should be addressed.""There are too many steps for sharing pictures.""Expensive with a complicated licensing structure.""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.""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.""Despite being an excellent platform, I would very much like Google Docs to be more compatible with Microsoft Word.""Some concerns over security, but there are moves to address this and provide admin tools to secure content and adhere to data protection regulations."

More Google Workspace Cons →

"Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version.""The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes.""Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."

  • "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."
