We performed a comparison between Google Workspace and Microsoft OneDrive based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product can scale easily."
"The solution is very stable."
"The initial setup is easy because it's all pre-configured."
"We use Google Sheets extensively for things like sharing plans, data, test reports, and more."
"If I'm addressing certain emails from banks — automatic emails, like OTP, etc. — I can create rules and forward that OTP to the specific email IDs. You can create rules and deliver mail to different groups using the forwarding feature. It's handy."
"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."
"I like everything that Google does. They have good products."
"I like the capabilities for collaboration on any platform. For example, I might be on an iPad whereas the person next to me is on a laptop and the person next to them is on their phone. We can all collaborate together and update documentation in real-time."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it doesn't integrate that well with Microsoft Office, which is one of the bigger business apps on the market, compared to Google Sheets and applications of that sort."
"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."
"Scalability is not as good as we would like."
"I am not a big fan of how Gmail organizes the mail. I find it complicated to see which mail from which users send at which date. Especially if there is a lot."
"The price could be reduced."
"It would be nice to have additional software, such as Microsoft Teams, since our basic edition, Google Meet, cannot record video."
"I would rate the stability a five out of ten."
"In Google Meet, there is no feature for recording a meeting. It should have a feature for recording."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
