Google Drive Enterprise Reviews

We use Google Drive Enterprise for storing data from the servers and backup all data.

I have found the most valuable feature to be the Google Drive synchronization.

The feature for synchronization of data from multiple systems with the same single ID is not happening in Google Drive. This feature should be added. For example, if I have only one single mail ID and I'm using it in a different location to upload different data, this is the challenge. It is happening from one system or one server. The synchronization of data from the local system to Google Drive will not happen if the IDs are the same. If I'm using it for different systems in different locations, synchronization is not happening. The system hets logged out. This feature is very important for us and they need to add it.

One location I can synchronize but multiple locations with the same ID, will not work.

In a future release, they could make the solution more user-friendly.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately five years.

The solution is highly stable.

The solution is highly scalable, I would give it a ten out of ten.

We have approximately 450 G Suite mail IDs and for storage purposes, we are using approximately five to six mail IDs for synchronization.

We have a third-party company that provides us with support.

The installation is simple and user-friendly.

The price of Google Drive Enterprise is very good. There are different prices from different vendors, it priced competitively. For example, if I purchase a mail ID directly from Google, it'll cost me 2,500 rupees plus GST. If I buy the same from the third-party vendors, it'll be less than 2,000 rupees. On Google's website, they will quote a very high price but they should not do this. I should be able to purchase from Google at a cheaper price than what I do from third parties.

I have evaluated Amazon AWS and IBM solutions. Amazon AWS has competitive prices for cloud storage and backups.

I rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten.

Google Drive Enterprise is a shared space. We can access our Google Drive from any device. I use the tool for my personal use cases.

The solution is accessible from any machine or mobile device. It is a big advantage. The solution is very user-friendly. Even a common man can use it. It is always available.

In most of the devices, the product works in the background. The common man wouldn't even know they use Google Drive to access their photos from anywhere. The awareness of the common people is very low. The vendor must increase awareness about the tool among the common people. It will benefit Google.

I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten. There is room for improvement.

The product’s scalability is good. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

The setup is not complex. It is simple. I just need to have my email ID, and I should be logged in on the device to access the product.

My files and photos are available from all the devices I use. Google Drive can be accessed through mobile devices. It is stable and reliable.

The product is free.

We evaluated OneDrive. We must log in to our Microsoft account to use OneDrive, which we rarely do on mobile devices. Many people do not have Microsoft accounts, and it's not very common. OneDrive is better suited for work purposes.

I will recommend the solution to others. We must understand how it functions and use it well. I rate the usability a nine out of ten. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I use the solution to store some critical training documents.

I can store and share documents. If someone wants my training videos, I share them using Google Drive. I can easily access my data and see my videos on Google Drive.

The tool must provide more storage capacity. Nowadays, 15 GB is not enough. Some people create another account to use more storage. However, it would be helpful if the vendor increased the storage for individual accounts.

I have been using the solution for quite some time.

The stability is good.

The deployment is straightforward. It is a cloud-based product.

We can store the data forever. We can retrieve it whenever we want. Google Drive is a good place to store data.

I use the free version.

I also use Amazon S3. Google is open-sourced. I do not know how secure Google is. Amazon S3 is secure. Some people use Google as their official email ID and storage solution.

The tool moved from the email attachment to the Google Drive attachment. Everything goes via Google Drive. My organization has blocked our access to Google Drive. I use it on my laptop. I give training to people. I have a knowledge base. I store it on Google Drive. I will recommend the solution to others. People might not pay for the product unless it is needed for official purposes.

Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution to share documents between people in my company, and sometimes we also share with people outside the company.

The main feature we use is the file and photo-sharing capability. The other feature we also use quite often is the ability to make and share Google Sheets and Google Docs for authoring documentation.

Google, in general, is straightforward to use.

The initial setup is easy.

It is reliable. 

We can scale the product.

It works for me quite well now. I do not have any suggestions for the future.

It would be ideal if they could offer more GBs for free. Offering 15GBs is too small.

I've used the solution for 15 years. 

It is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. 

The solution can scale well. It's not a problem if you need to expand. 

We have 50 users on the solution currently. We do not have plans to increase usage in the future. 

I have never used technical support. I don't know how helpful they are. It's an easy, stable solution, and I've never required help. 

We also use One Drive from Microsoft. Previously, we used Dropbox. Microsoft offers more GBs to users (1TB). Google only offers 15GBs for free. 

The solution is quite simple to set up. It's quick to deploy. It takes just a click, and you are up and running. It just takes one engineer to set up and maintain the solution.

It's so straightforward, anyone can do it. We do not need any consultants or integrators. 

Users get 15GBs for free. After that, they have to pay.

I'd recommend the solution to others, depending on what the company needs. If a user just needs a drive that's 15GBs per user, then Google Drive is okay. If they need more than that, they have to pay. However, One Drive gives a user 100GBs. It's much bigger and would be more practical for bigger users. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

I work on Google Drive for personal use. 

I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices. It allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time. I also like the versioning features.

You cannot upload multiple files with the same name to Google Drive. I'm not sure how relevant it is for other users, but I have multiple files with the same name that I'm unable to upload to a single folder. 

I have been using Google Drive for around eight years.

Google Drive is stable.

Google Drive is scalable, but you have subscription fees to go to the next tier to save more data.

Setting up Google Drive is simple.

I rate Google Drive Enterprise eight out of 10 for pricing.

I rate Google Drive Enterprise nine out of 10. 

As a student, I use Google Drive to share documents with other students. Google Drive is useful for students like me who need to upload assignments, which can be in various formats like Microsoft Powerpoint, Excel, etc. Teachers can also share unusually large files with students by sharing links instead of emailing them directly, which helps to share larger files that cannot be shared via Gmail.

With Google Drive, I can create my own folders and share them with my friends. I can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility.

One thing about Google Drive is that it's not really compatible with Microsoft Drive. For example, if I have Microsoft OneDrive and want to share files in an Excel format, it shows up in my Google Sheets format on Google Drive. It can cause formatting issues between both drives, making it difficult to work with other companies like Microsoft.

One more problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days. So, if you want more capacity in your cloud, you need to pay for it.

I have been using this solution for three years.

It's quite stable. For example, if I have a link to a Google Drive, that link usually works. I can create many files like Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Forms. Recently, I was working with Google Forms, and there's an option for shortening the URL of the form as well. Whenever I share that link, the shortened link also usually works, and as the owner of the form, I can easily see how many responses I've got and analyze those responses.

I've only used it within my capacity. But because everyone now has a Google account, it would be quite scalable. Approximately 10,000 people in my college within my university are using it. We would like to increase the capacity because it should be more compatible with Microsoft.

It was quite easy to set up since everyone nowadays has a Google account. You can log in and access your Google Drive with a Google account.

No expertise is required because you just need to sign in to your Google account.

I have two Google accounts, one is my personal Google account, and the one where I use Drive more is from my university, so my university would be paying some amount, but I'm not sure about that.

I have limited exposure to Microsoft OneDrive as well, but I would definitely recommend Google's Cloud and Google Drive due to their storage capacity and ease of use.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. One thing I recommend is that Google Drive Enterprise should provide a proper outline of how much memory is available in the cloud, and if they plan to increase their prices, the pricing should be transparent from their end.

I use the solution at my job at least once a week to exchange files. About 15% of my time per week is devoted to it. 

Staff exchange files through the solution. 

I find it valuable to have access to my files from any location. If I'm traveling, I access files via my mobile or another terminal device. I have access to materials I want to take to my class and don't have to carry anything. I just put my files in the solution and open them wherever I need them. I don't even have to carry a flash drive.

The price of additional storage could be reduced. I have an annual subscription and I'm only using 150GB because of the price. 

The environment, ecosystem, and elements bundled with the solution are not strong. 

I have been using the solution for ten years. 

I don't use the product often enough to rate stability. 

The solution is scalable if you pay for additional storage. 

I use 1TB of my Microsoft Drive extensively for various things. I haven't completely made the switch because of storage costs. 

The setup was not complex, but could be improved with dashboard clarity. For example, a colleague sends me a link to a file on his drive. When opening the link, it is not apparent if the file is still on his drive or now shared on mine. I shouldn't have to open the file to store it on my drive. I would like this ease-of-use workflow item to be improved. 

Storage is the only product offered and that makes it expensive to use. If you compare it to Amazon Web Services and Microsoft, storage is incidental to other products, suites, and services. For example, Microsoft offers 1TB of storage with the purchase of Microsoft Office. The perception is that Microsoft offers free storage. It is convenient to package products and have fewer vendors with one support team. If I'm looking at storage only, I look at relative costs. 

I have evaluated and still use Microsoft Drive. 

I rate the solution a three out of ten. 

I use the solution for documentation. I also use it for storage and management.

I can store data and share it with people. The tool is user-friendly and easily manageable. Sharing real-time data is helpful for collaboration within the team. The security and management tools are good.

The product must be more secure.

I have been using the solution for ten years.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten. A small team of 40 people, including IT personnel and administrators, use the tool in our organization. We do not use it regularly.

The technical support is good. It is customer-friendly. The team provided fast responses.

Positive

The deployment is easy.

The product is not expensive.

The solution must be better protected. We use tools like Symantec for security management. It is easy to integrate Symantec with Google. I will recommend the product to other people. It is stable, reliable, and secure. It is a beneficial product. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
