Find out what your peers are saying about Google, Microsoft, Zimbra and others in Email Applications."The calendar is the most valuable feature."
"They are launching more and more features for mobile, which I understand our customers appreciate."
"The corporate email feature on Google's Gmail is fantastic."
"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."
"It's easy to control the admin settings, like updating the SDS, NIK, etc. I"
"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 Mail lets you link a task to a specific email and add a reminder. That's helpful for reviewing your schedule. It's based on Slack, so you don't have these folders like in Microsoft mail. Using Slack instead of folders is a bit more intuitive. It's easier to find again a specific email than using Microsoft Suite. If you misplace things, it's much easier to find them because of Google's search capability."
"The solution's technical support is very good."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"The stability should be addressed."
"I found that there is no desktop application for this solution, and that's a major fault of this application."
"In some cases, we are using the Google Meet functions but only when we have external clients. Internally, we are using Slack. Google Meet virtual meeting function is not as advanced as the one in Slack and should improve."
"G Suite could offer something a little more solid in terms of chat — something that is a little more like Slack and integrates with everything. But, unfortunately, the chat is very basic there. It doesn't offer that many features and feels like it doesn't belong there."
"The UI could be simplified and made more user friendly."
"The price could be reduced."
"Some concerns over security, but there are moves to address this and provide admin tools to secure content and adhere to data protection regulations."
"Improvements to G Suite would be the ability to collaborate more easily and better quality video compression in Google Meet."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."

I agree with @Saiyed Shahab Ahmed. You should also consider the management overhead of having multiple productivity tools.
Intune is more recommended for Microsoft OS or Microsoft products. On Chromebooks, if you are going with Google tech stack of Office apps, Google Workspace will be your go-to option in this case.
