We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Storage and Google Workspace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 solution is flexible and very user-friendly."
"Google Cloud is handy and easy to use."
"Some of the most valuable features are how convenient and easy to use this solution is. It's very user-friendly and meets all my requirements."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is its ease of use. It fits well with our business use."
"I find the accessibility from various devices to be the most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage. I also like that it is integrated with Gmail and Google Groups."
"It's a stable enough solution."
"The solution is stable and has good performance."
"personally prefer to use G Suite applications, such as Gmail, Slides, and Sheets, because they give you the freedom to share the document you're editing and co-work with other colleagues simultaneously."
"The most valuable part of G Suite is the integration among all of the components. It's also highly reliable because it's always available. And G Suite's ability to collaborate on all the standard office tools has no rival. It's amazing because you can work seamlessly with any of your colleagues on the same document."
"The calendar is the most valuable feature."
"The implementation was very easy."
"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."
"G Suite and all of Google were the first to have a built-in multifactor authentication without needing to purchase another product."
"Good performance, even on relatively slow connections; no local apps required."
"Only a few competitors can do precisely what Google Workspace does in terms of email management and calendar management through its Gmail and Google Calendar apps. It's a very seamless platform."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Office files. When I open a Google document I would like it to be able to be opened with Microsoft. You can already open Google documents in Microsoft Office."
"It could be made even more secure and allow for more storage."
"It was not easy to reach the storage because there were different network zones."
"The solution should offer more free storage."
"It would be better to assign storage usage to different categories, because storage capacity is cumulative, if your Google album and email are both full, you will be unable to send or receive email."
"I don't find the solution very user-friendly."
"What would make Google Cloud Storage better is if it provided more storage."
"I would prefer more support for alternative operating systems like DSD. The performance could be better because sometimes there are glitches. The price could be better."
"There seems to be a bit of vulnerability on some operating systems, specifically on the iPhone. There isn't as much control as if a person is using an Android. That's a bit of a concern."
"Google Workspace needs to be more flexible, like Microsoft Excel."
"I don't recommend Google Workspace to others. It's expensive. Also, Google doesn't have enough oversight on their partners, so you will face some difficulties dealing with them instead of directly with Google."
"The UI could be simplified and made more user friendly."
"Everything is online, so you don't have a client on your desk. Working on email is online work, so can't do work offline and go back online. Sometimes it's not so intuitive. If you answer an email, it puts your answer at the bottom of the existing email."
"I talked with G Suite recently because my G Suite has a temporary block. I communicated with the G Suite representative or Google representative, and he told me that I sent a lot of emails, so my email was temporarily blocked. But I know I have not sent more than 500 emails daily to reach the limit. I sent only 5,200 emails, but unfortunately, my G Suite account was temporarily blocked for 24 hours, and then he resolved it. I think they need to improve G Suite because this temporary block is not fair."
"Google Workspace has limitations as a document or file management system. Without a workspace account, manual actions are required to perform tasks such as managing groups of people. Additionally, managing permissions individually is a time-consuming and inefficient process. It's difficult to articulate, but the process is not very streamlined."
"It takes a long time to import the data from G Suite into another platform."
