"The valuable features of this solution are ease of use, performance is great, and collaboration. It is very easy to share and joins documents.""It's more open than Microsoft and easy to use.""We find Google Drive and mail useful for our services.""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.""The product can scale easily.""A complete integrated environment for our business. I get Google docs, Gmail, online space, and calendar where I can easily perform all documentation, storage, and communications online.""G Suite Enterprise provides many features, such as business increased search visibility, email address, and domain. It's a large whole ecosystem that is the major benefit. You can manage your whole team and have many tools. Over seven years, the solution has gone through some drastic upgrades and improvements which are done automatically, I do not have to manual upgrade.""We value the collaboration levels that are offered. Having everything integrated in a single platform is a dream come true for us."

More Google Workspace Pros →

"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility.""Provides easy access to our data.""In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels.""The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."

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

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"Google Meet is a very good product, but it's not up to the mark if you compare it against other products like Zoom or Microsoft Teams.""I would rate the stability a five out of ten.""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 believe that Sheets could have a more functional and user-friendly interface. Google Sheets currently lacks macros and cross file links which can be found in Excel.""The performance speed could be improved when the internet connection is slow.""The problem with the presentation is that if you upload a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and you convert it to Google presentation, the slides or pictures, their images are not editable. You can't edit the slides that you brought in. They're just images.""The stability should be addressed.""They could increase the number of third-party integrations on offer."

More Google Workspace Cons →

"Their cloud services could be improved.""The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced.""The product needs improvement in terms of affordability.""I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."

    Overview
    ShareFile is a secure file sync and sharing service that meets the mobility and collaboration needs of users and the security requirements of businesses.

    Similar to G Suite, all Google Workspace plans provide a custom email for your business and include collaboration tools like Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Chat, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, and more.

    As we’ve evolved G Suite into a more integrated experience across our communication and collaboration tools, we’ve rebranded to Google Workspace to more accurately represent the product vision.

    Huawei FusionStorage fully distributed cloud storage features massive scale-out capability designed for cloud-based architectures. The on-board storage system software combines the local storage resources of standard x86 servers into fully distributed storage pools, providing block, object, or file storage resources to the upper layer. An enterprise can easily obtain the required flexibility and efficiency in data storage to keep up with the ever-changing dynamics of business.
