Cons
"The user interface is not very intuitive.""DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""They should integrate the solution with more email services."

"The product does not support certain formats.""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.""In the free version, managing the files and folders and data is a little difficult.""The price of additional storage could be reduced. I have an annual subscription and I'm only using 150GB because of the price.""Google Drive Enterprise is not scalable.""When compared to Commvault or Veeam, I'm not sure what Google Drive has to offer in terms of backing up data on the cloud or in a data center for a large organization.""I have sometimes observed that when the data is very huge or there are so many rules, Google Sheets documents get stuck while uploading. It keeps on loading the document and gives an error. There should be an improvement in this aspect. It should be quick. Currently, we have to wait for a long time.""The product must provide more storage space."
