Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very easy to scale.""The ability to simultaneously edit files is really useful.""I'm satisfied with the basic function. it's convenient to share documents or download shared documents you need.""I like that you can easily create folders and sort things by sliding them in and out. I like the sliding option. It's quite nice.""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.""Though I don't see a major difference between Google Drive Enterprise and other competitors, I find that the solution is easy to use. You just need to connect to it and upload files and give access to users who need access to the files. It's very easy to manage files and share files on Google Drive Enterprise, and these are its most valuable features.""When we collaborate on a team project, everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the project.""Provides a secure backup to my data."

"They are launching more and more features for mobile, which I understand our customers appreciate.""Extremely reliable, providing great collaboration features.""G Suite Enterprise is user-friendly, and the technical toolkits and other information are on the website. Additionally, the technical documents are comprehensive.""I have found the solution to be pretty stable.""G Suite Enterprise is scalable.""I use Keep to assign tasks to a team of programmers, which is very easy.""Everything is synchronized across every single device you use to access G Suite. That is why we like it.""Convenient to share and collaborate documents."

Cons
"I would like to see larger storage capabilities.""There are a few kinks to work out at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple and extremely useful.""Google Drive Enterprise is not scalable.""The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to.""If they would implement something for people who have been working on Google Drive for so many years, to have an upgraded version or to be upgraded to that capacity or storage, that would be fantastic.""There is really not too much that I think needs to be added to the product to improve it. Some of the features within Sheets could be enhanced so this product is a more complete replacement for Excel.""Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly.""A separate interface to give users a summary of how they've shared items on the drive would be useful. You can end up having a lot of stuff and the sheer amount can end up making users feel a little bit lost in terms of knowing who they've actually shared items with."

"There are too many steps for sharing pictures.""The tool should improve its on-prem capabilities to include people who are working offline. The pricing is also a challenge for both the Indian and overseas markets. The tool has a cap of 300 licenses. The product's price has also increased by 10 percent. Businesses are struggling to justify the ROI. Users cannot block emails unless they have a strong firewall.""The solution could always be more secure, although that doesn't affect me so much.""The product could improve the number of participants allowed in a meeting and the strength of the meetings.""The initial setup is not intuitive at all.""To a degree, the project management service could be improved.""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.""There are 120 different products and Google is ready to copy their competitors and vice versa. Some of them work, and some of them don't. There are many newer tools with no-code environments which allow for a leaner self-owned system, where I'm not tied to paying hundreds and thousands of dollars a year to another company."
