"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"The solution is scalable."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."

"Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint."
"It's stable. There isn't really any downtime."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is email."
"The valuable features of this solution are ease of use, performance is great, and collaboration. It is very easy to share and joins documents."
"In terms of email, I could probably do the same things with other programs, however, I find 90% of my usage is Gmail."
"I use Keep to assign tasks to a team of programmers, which is very easy."
"It's secure. It offers data security and user privacy. I use it for personal purposes. The interface is okay, and it's easy to use."
"They are launching more and more features for mobile, which I understand our customers appreciate."
"From a security point of view, Google will alert you if anything strange is happening. They will flag it for you so you are aware."
"Data privacy, regarding where to store your data: Offering several transparent(!) options (where to store my data and whether to sync back or not and where to sync) regarding the local law situations (USA, EU, Switzerland!) would increase the credibility of a US based company (after NSA ‘snooping’)."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"It could be cheaper."
"I have had issues with my Google Address Book. I have an address book and it is available to everyone, but I cannot add additional users. In Microsoft Outlook, I could easily share certain contacts with other members of my team, but I cannot do so on G Suite."
"The stability should be addressed."
"To a degree, the project management service could be improved."
"The UI could be simplified and made more user friendly."
"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 would rate the stability a five out of ten."
"We noticed that sometimes when we forward emails to somebody, it is being relocated as part of the communication somewhere else. The traceability and other features should be improved."
"I found that there is no desktop application for this solution, and that's a major fault of this application."
