Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"From an availability perspective it's fantastic; from a security perspective it's fantastic.""Google Cloud Storage is highly reliable.""The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the filter option. You can search with some artificial intelligence kinds of features. For example, if I search for a beach, it'll show me all the beach-related pictures, which I took five or ten years before. So this is a cool feature that I've seen. They give as many features as they can to make it better, so I'm happy with this solution.""The most valuable features are Pub/Sub, Data Explorer, BigQuery, and Data Transfer.""It is flexible and simple to use.""The best feature is ease of use.""Google Cloud is handy and easy to use.""The feature we've found most valuable is the ability to access our data anywhere, anytime."

"The most valuable features are the speed at which G Suite Enterprise works.""Easy-to-build forms are allowing me to get feedback and information from my internal teams as well as from the customers very efficiently with the result data in structured manner.""We find Google Drive and mail useful for our services.""Good performance, even on relatively slow connections; no local apps required.""The email is excellent.""The most valuable feature of Google Workspace is the sheets and documents.""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.""We value the collaboration levels that are offered. Having everything integrated in a single platform is a dream come true for us."

Cons
"This solution could be improved by increasing integration with other tools, like Microsoft.""The solution could improve by adding an automatic removal of duplications feature.""It was a little more complicated when compared to Apple.""Google Cloud Storage can improve by having better integration and migration tools.""It is hard to migrate to another product if we want to.""The solution should improve its security and accountability.""The solution must provide some accessibility features.""The implementation is not as easy as Microsoft, and the process could be improved."

More Google Cloud Storage Cons →

"I'm not sure if Google Drive has a customizing feature, however, if it did, then it would be better.""If your storage requirements in day-to-day work are large, then it will incur an additional cost since free storage is limited.""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 solution could always be more secure, although that doesn't affect me so much.""The problem with the presentation is that if you upload a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and you convert it to Google presentation, the slides or pictures, their images are not editable. You can't edit the slides that you brought in. They're just images.""We've had difficulty using PowerPoint files in G Suite. PowerPoint has some functions that are not available in G Suite, so when you convert from PPTX to the Slides format, they don't work.""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.""Google Workspace does a pretty good job, so it doesn't have that much room for improvement, but what would make it even better is if its apps, for example, Gmail, could integrate with more apps, such as Evernote and specific cloud-based platforms."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "They know that the pricing is comparable with Azure, AWS, and those other solutions like Amazon are cheaper, but they are not as flexible."
  • "Better pricing would be helpful."
  • "Its price is fine."
  • "It's about nearly $10,000 USD to use the services on GCP, however, Google gave us a good deal which is why we originally went with them."
  • "The solution is free."
  • "They have recently changed their pricing structures, it used to be free but now it is a paid service. However, I am on a monthly subscription and the price is reasonable."
  • "The price could be cheaper."
  • "The price of the license could be cheaper. We are on an annual subscription."
  • More Google Cloud Storage 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."

    Overview

    Google Cloud Storage is praised for its fast performance, seamless integration, high security, and scalability. Users store and access large amounts of data easily, backup files, host websites, and collaborate on projects. The platform's reliability and cost-effectiveness make it a top choice for data storage and management.

    Similar to G Suite, all Google Workspace plans provide a custom email for your business and include collaboration tools like Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Chat, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, and more.

    As we’ve evolved G Suite into a more integrated experience across our communication and collaboration tools, we’ve rebranded to Google Workspace to more accurately represent the product vision.
