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."The solution is stable."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy because it's all pre-configured."
"We haven't had any issues with scalability - we have over a thousand employees, and G Suite just scales."
"From a security point of view, Google will alert you if anything strange is happening. They will flag it for you so you are aware."
"We find Google Drive and mail useful for our services."
"I have found the solution to be pretty stable."
"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 groupware module is the most valuable feature."
"IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people."
"It has great communication capabilities for team chatting and web conferences."
"The solution's voice services work well for our company."
"The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other 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."
"An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources."
"Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."
"G-Suite is excellent for what we're trying to do, but it could use some extra features. For example, it would be helpful if we had a seamless way to convert Excel macros to Google Sheets."
"The solution could improve by having more frequent updates."
"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 needs to improve its support."
"With the Internet of Things, a platform that integrates well with others would be even better."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly and improve its tools and features."
"There could be more options in Google G Suite. They can include HD calling for Google Meet. The layout portion in the calendar for Google G Suite can be better designed. When we get into the calendar and start scheduling meetings, we do have few hiccups here and there. The layout can be a little easier. People from different backgrounds are finding it a little bit tough to understand. It should be more intuitive. At the moment, it has a completely white background. To do power saving, it would be good if they can release a darker background. There are a few issues with the formatting of Google Docs when they get converted to Microsoft docs. It would be amazing if they can resolve it in the next release."
"There are 120 different products and Google is ready to copy their competitors and vice versa. Some of them work, and some of them don't. There are many newer tools with no-code environments which allow for a leaner self-owned system, where I'm not tied to paying hundreds and thousands of dollars a year to another company."
"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."
"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."
"It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details."
"Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail."
"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."
"Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product."
"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."
"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."
