Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
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.""It has saved us money.""The product is user-friendly and knows how to appeal to a user. Google Docs accepts some of our requirements. Its most valuable feature is performance. The product's integrations are good.""The Hangouts feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us.""The most valuable feature of the solution is email.""G Suite Enterprise is scalable.""The document sharing in which multiple people can work on the same document. To go along with that is the archiving of documents. If you mess up a document, it's easy to go get a previous version.""Valuable features of the solution are that it's simple and effective."

Cons
"Expensive with a complicated licensing structure.""Google Meet can have a bit more functionality. It should show the views of more people. Right now, it shows just eight at a maximum, or six. When there are more people on the call, more than eight, everyone is not showing.""With Microsoft, you can use it on the web version, and you can use Microsoft Outlook. Google has the web version.""Not all tools are available in the one facility.""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.""I found that there is no desktop application for this solution, and that's a major fault of this application.""They could increase the number of third-party integrations on offer.""And I think Google Translate could add more features. For example, it could be integrated when typing in a document or a web browser like Grammarly."

"Security is very important to us, so improvements to this functionality are welcome.""The solution could improve by allowing us to use a color that we want in the editing boxes."

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."

  • "This is an affordable solution but the price could be improved."
