Find out what your peers are saying about Google, Microsoft, Zimbra and others in Email Applications."Google integrates well with our system. G Suite has an open API, so you can connect any open system with Google capable of working with API. This is the main reason we use it."

"The solution is stable."
"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 most valuable features are the speed at which G Suite Enterprise works."
"It's more open than Microsoft and easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use, and you don't need a lot of knowledge for it."
"It's a secure solution that enables you to choose those you wish to share with."

"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing or information sharing."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"Some concerns over security, but there are moves to address this and provide admin tools to secure content and adhere to data protection regulations."
"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."
"With Microsoft, you can use it on the web version, and you can use Microsoft Outlook. Google has the web version."
"When I compare with Office 365, G Suite has fewer features."
"There could be more options in Google G Suite. They can include HD calling for Google Meet. The layout portion in the calendar for Google G Suite can be better designed. When we get into the calendar and start scheduling meetings, we do have few hiccups here and there. The layout can be a little easier. People from different backgrounds are finding it a little bit tough to understand. It should be more intuitive. At the moment, it has a completely white background. To do power saving, it would be good if they can release a darker background. There are a few issues with the formatting of Google Docs when they get converted to Microsoft docs. It would be amazing if they can resolve it in the next release."
"Not all tools are available in the one facility."
"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."
"I found that there is no desktop application for this solution, and that's a major fault of this application."
"The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
