"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution has been stable."
"Chrome functions as a comprehensive solution due to its continuous self-evaluation and improvement. The evolution process has been significant, with a notable distance covered from its inception to the present. Notably, features like VPN support have been incorporated over time, enhancing the platform's capabilities. A distinctive feature is that users don't even need to know the Wi-Fi password; upon signing into the machine, internet connectivity is established immediately. Furthermore, the cloud storage system ensures data isn't stored locally, making it seamless for users to switch between machines. In summary, Google Chrome Enterprise is an excellent solution, particularly when there's a shortage of available manpower."
"Google Sheets and Google Docs are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It has been working pretty well for us...By and large, things are pretty stable."

"There is no notification before updates are applied to the solution, which occasionally means that new functionality isn't compatible with how the product is currently being used, and causes issues."
"Integration with other platforms could be improved."
"Lacks sufficient security and some coding tools."
"The product's stability can be better."
"Setting up anything resembling a shared inbox is still kind of a giant pain in the solution."
"I wish there was a way that they could update things a little less often if anything. I think a lot of enterprise customers are frustrated... Certain plug-ins like ad blockers will lose some functionality in the next quarter to half a year."
"They need to deal with their memory management."
"Additional data security and data privacy features could be proactively recommended by Google."
"Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging since Chrome consistently strives to enhance itself. One aspect I'd like to highlight is virtualization. For instance, if you require desktop-based applications like Cisco or Adobe products on your local machine, Chrome's support is limited. While they offer Linux solutions for virtualization, my query or request would be to expand this to include Windows-based applications. If this were implemented, it would be a valuable enhancement, encouraging broader adoption by companies."
"The solution's interface is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market."
