Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The user interface is fantastic. It's also available for the individual person, so that's also a great thing about it.""Google Workspace is an excellent tool for communicating with people, which allows users to collaborate and edit files simultaneously.""In terms of email, I could probably do the same things with other programs, however, I find 90% of my usage is Gmail.""They are launching more and more features for mobile, which I understand our customers appreciate.""We use Google Sheets extensively for things like sharing plans, data, test reports, and more.""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.""Reduces IT spend, freeing up cash for other areas: sales, marketing, recruitment, etc.""The product can scale easily."

"The DAOS feature is the most valuable. It helps to save some of my storage.""I like that HCL Domino is stable. It's a great product. I also like that HCL Domino is a mature product under IBM, which is why many companies use it.""It serves as a centralized solution that fulfills all my requirements from operating my email server to managing various aspects of my operations.""HCL Domino is an application development and collaboration platform with strong stability and security. Deployment of this platform is easy and takes only 10 minutes.""The pricing is excellent.""The most valuable features of the solution are security and integration.""We have been able to set up a portal using a special XPage application that gives our customers access to this system.""It is an excellent solution."

Cons
"Google Mail's spam filter needs improvement. If I'm sending mail to another email user, sometimes it goes to the spam folder, and they won't know unless they check because they aren't seeing it in the primary inbox. They may miss important emails. At the same time, I'm receiving spam that shouldn't go to my inbox.""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 could always be more secure, although that doesn't affect me so much.""There's a bit of a learning curve.""Google Workspace does a pretty good job, so it doesn't have that much room for improvement, but what would make it even better is if its apps, for example, Gmail, could integrate with more apps, such as Evernote and specific cloud-based platforms.""Google Workspace doesn't have some of the Excel and PowerPoint presentation functions you get with Microsoft Office.""In Google Meet, there is no feature for recording a meeting. It should have a feature for recording.""The solution could improve the Google Cloud identity login to laptops that sometimes do not work. The collaboration for Google sites, they are not equivalent to others, such as Sharepoint."

More Google Workspace Cons →

"It would be advantageous if the web server could seamlessly pick up configuration changes without the need for a complete restart.""The solution is expensive.""HCL Domino could improve by having integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft 365.""They should provide its integration with other AI applications.""When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly.""HCL Domino could have a better interface.""Recently, IBM sold the product to HCL. Since Pakistan and India have some problems on a domestic level, we were actually considering replacing it with Indian products from the organization. We're just facing some regulatory issues.""The client version of this solution could be faster and be made simpler for non-IT users. You will need to have some knowledge of Notes to correctly install this solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "G Suite and Microsoft Office 365 offer products with similar functionality at several different price points. Zoho offer a more extensive range of products and attempts to provide all the applications required to run most small and medium-sized businesses."
  • "Careful consideration should be given to the different licensing options and provisions should be made for additional applications that may be required for your particular business."
  • "Traffic management tools may be required for larger setups and should be included in any pricing calculations."
  • "There are several areas where a G Suite implementation can reduce costs: lower license fees than some competing products, reduced hardware, and IT support costs."
  • "There are benefits that can provide a competitive advantage, e.g., improved productivity (with appropriate training), increased collaboration (with correct use of tools), flexible working - work from home or remote locations, easy to scale - fast onboarding of new employees, and ability to add and remove licenses, as required."
  • "We receive value for the price that we pay."
  • "The pricing is a bit on the higher side than normal. For a basic Google account it costs $100, but Enterprise is %150."
  • "The price per client within the business is too high."

  • "We're happy with the price of our license — it's pretty standard."
  • "We pay annually for the use of this solution and it is only a standard fee."
  • "We chose to pay for our licensing fees annually."

  • "HCL Domino has reasonable pricing. It's not expensive."
  • "For 30 licenses, we pay $1,500 every year. It is not an expensive product."
