Secure, scalable, and useful collaboration function
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use, has good performance, and is secure."
  • "The solution could improve User Access Management by showing more detailed information of which users have access to folders or files. For example, you can see which users have access one by one, but there is not a dashboard that can show what user has access to a library document."

What is our primary use case?

The main purpose we are using Google Drive Enterprise is for storing files and the collaboration function. We share documents with certain members of the company.

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to use, has good performance, and is secure.

What needs improvement?

The solution could improve User Access Management by showing more detailed information of which users have access to folders or files. For example, you can see which users have access one by one, but there is not a dashboard that can show what user has access to a library document. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately five years.

Easily accessible from anywhere, whether for emails or applications
Pros and Cons
  • "I can check emails from anywhere, and use the applications wherever I am."
  • "It's become difficult to fit everything in one window."

What is our primary use case?

We are partners and resellers of Google Drive Enterprise. I'm a technology consulting department manager.

What is most valuable?

I've been using Gmail for such a long time and I'm really familiar with the interface. In terms of my work, I'm able to check emails from anywhere, and I can use the applications wherever I am.

What needs improvement?

They recently updated the email under 'interface' and I can't fit everything in one window. For example, I'm checking an email and half of it opens on the right side and you can't really read everything. The recent update is not really great for me because I'm used to having the space I need. I can't really minimize the chat box so I can read the emails wholly. There are so many things in the window, you can't really see it all and have to open a new window just to get access to the entire email.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This product is stable. 

How was the initial setup?

The product doesn't require any implementation, it's browser based.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this product even though I have trouble reading everything. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Good file sharing, but it needs better integration with other environments
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the ability to share files."
  • "I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments."

What is our primary use case?

I used this solution for holding data files and sharing them. I stopped using it because I did not like being constrained within the Google environment.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the ability to share files.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for about three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I didn't experience any issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution.

What other advice do I have?

I think that Google Drive Enterprise works for a lot of people but it didn't work for me.

I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Provides a secure backup service; somewhat lacking in customization
Pros and Cons
  • "Provides a secure backup to my data."
  • "The product lacks customization."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case of this service is for storage. I have a package and I use it to synchronize my data and to keep a backup for my device and mobile phone. I'm an IT system and infrastructure manager, and a customer of Google Drive. 

What is most valuable?

The service gives me the confidence of knowing that I have a backup copy of all my data and it can be accessed at any time. 

What needs improvement?

The service could be improved if it could do more customization, because the model inside is pre-defined and there is no customization. I'd also like to see an extension of the packages because the first two packages have minimal space. The next release should have more customization and more storage for the packages.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this service for 18 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable product. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I haven't contacted technical support. I'm using a very limited part of the server, it's only storing data. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used Dropbox to store data, but when I had the option to move, I decided to go with Google Drive and not continue with Dropbox.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

This is not an expensive service. 

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Google Drive Enterprise, especially for Android users. It's the most suitable application or service.

I rate this service a seven out of 10.
