We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Google Drive is its seamless integration across mobile devices and computers.""I have found the most valuable feature to be the Google Drive synchronization.""I also use OneDrive, but I prefer Google Drive because it's available on many platforms and devices, so it gives a wide variety for backups, especially on Android systems.""Google Drive is much more stable compared to Dropbox. Dropbox is a catastrophic solution. I used Dropbox because I manage many files, and I lost files because the synchronization between Dropbox and my customer folder was unstable. I use Google Drive to back up my files. Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer.""The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good.""Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot.""The program is very stable.""I like that it's easy to use. I'm satisfied with the speed, stability, and availability."

"I like everything that Google does. They have good products.""G Suite Enterprise is user-friendly, and the technical toolkits and other information are on the website. Additionally, the technical documents are comprehensive.""The email is excellent.""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 use Google Sheets extensively for things like sharing plans, data, test reports, and more.""Google Apps for Business and Skype for Business are the perfect solutions for every business thriving online. It is very easy and inexpensive to get work done with these applications online.""The most valuable feature of the solution is email.""Being able to back up our data on Google Drive is a critical and valuable feature for our customers. It is just in sync. Imagine you change a file on the desktop, and it gets updated directly to your Google Drive. Our laptop is completely in sync with Google Drive. Google Meet, Google Sheets, and Google Docs are also amazing products. They're very versatile and easy to use as compared to Office 365. I am using Google Sheets and Google Docs, which first save the work on my memory or ROM, and then on my RAM. It gives me better productivity through Google Sheets and Google Docs."

Cons
"The product’s document management and automation features are very limited.""The desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment.""The product lacks customization.""The free tier of storage is limited.""I would like to see larger storage capabilities.""It might be ideal if we could increase storage more easily, however, I don't have much visibility on that and have never had any issues.""It should have more features similar to Office 365. To improvise more, they should compare their features with Office 365.""Google Drive Enterprise is not scalable."

More Google Drive Enterprise Cons →

"I believe Google Drive has potential for improvement. Enhancements could be made in terms of synchronization and the functionality of the Google Sheets app, particularly in areas like formulas and pivot tables, to make it more comparable to Microsoft Excel. Google Chat needs to make improvements so that we can send Excel and PDFs from the mobile app itself. I would like to see Google Bard integrated with the product.""The initial setup is not intuitive at all.""There is some redundancy in the functionality between certain modules.""With Microsoft, you can use it on the web version, and you can use Microsoft Outlook. Google has the web version.""Google Workspace needs to be more flexible, like Microsoft Excel.""I'm not sure if Google Drive has a customizing feature, however, if it did, then it would be better.""Improvements to G Suite would be the ability to collaborate more easily and better quality video compression in Google Meet.""They could increase the number of third-party integrations on offer."
