We performed a comparison between Google Workspace and IceWarp based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Email Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"I like everything that Google does. They have good products."
"The initial setup is easy because it's all pre-configured."
"The Hangouts feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"I use Keep to assign tasks to a team of programmers, which is very easy."
"Reduces IT spend, freeing up cash for other areas: sales, marketing, recruitment, etc."
"It's a secure solution that enables you to choose those you wish to share with."
"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."
"The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions."
"An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources."
"Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."
"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."
"It's scalable and stable."
"The solution's voice services work well for our company."
"It has great communication capabilities for team chatting and web conferences."
"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."
"There seems to be a bit of vulnerability on some operating systems, specifically on the iPhone. There isn't as much control as if a person is using an Android. That's a bit of a concern."
"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."
"They could increase the number of third-party integrations on offer."
"If you use a name with a special character like a slash in the folder, it will crash the migration, with no warning. There is no pre-warning or anything to tell you that if you use characters in a file name that it will crash the migration."
"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."
"Google Workspace needs to be more flexible, like Microsoft Excel."
"I have had issues with my Google Address Book. I have an address book and it is available to everyone, but I cannot add additional users. In Microsoft Outlook, I could easily share certain contacts with other members of my team, but I cannot do so on G Suite."
"There is some redundancy in the functionality between certain modules."
"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."
"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."
"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."
"Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product."
"It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details."
"Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way."
"The exchange compatibility mode is rather limited. Their technical support can also be better. They only provide online support, and there should be some option for escalating."
"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."
