Google Workspace Reviews

Great for collaboration. Google spreadsheets can pull data directly from a big data database, enabling sharing across an enterprise.

Fairly frequent performance problems.

We primarily use the solution for email and Google Drive. We use Google Sheets as well occasionally. It's mainly those items. We don't really use Google Docs. It's largely Google Drive and Gmail.

The solution is rather easy to collaborate on. You can just upload files, even if it is an Excel file or a Word document. Once they are uploaded, you can collaborate easily. 

The solution offers very good email. It's a very good email provider.

The solution is very stable.

The scalability of the solution is very good.

The solution is very easy to use.

It's perfect for smaller organizations.

The initial setup is pretty easy.

I used Excel quite a bit. When you switch over to Google Suite, maybe due to the fact that it's a web platform, the shortcuts are not the easiest. I'm quite used to Excel shortcuts. Shortcuts on G Suite are not the best. 

In terms of Google Docs, if you upload a Word document up to Google Docs, it could mess up your formatting quite a bit.  

I've maybe been working with the solution for about three years or so. In my previous company, we were working with G Suite as well. I've used it across a few organizations at this point. 

The stability is very good overall. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability of the product is good. We haven't hit any limitations at all. If a company can scale it, it shouldn't be a problem.

I've never had to reach out to technical support. I've never come across a problem that would require me to raise a ticket. The solution works very well. I haven't had any technical issues and therefore have no experience with technical support.

I also use Microsoft Office. Sometimes when you upload Microsoft to Google, the formatting goes a little haywire. 

In terms of the initial setup, I don't know too much about the process. I didn't set it up personally. It was my company's support services that handled the implementation. It was also already up and running when I came in. They just asked me to set up my Gmail and I have access to all the other sorts of apps in G Suite. In that sense, it's straightforward.

Our internal team set up the solution. 

We are just users and customers.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.  If the solution had fewer formatting issues on Microsoft to Google uploads, and if I used Google Keep more, I might rate it higher.

If you don't use anything, it's always between this option and Office 365. For a smaller company, G Suite is easy to set up. I would assume it's quite straightforward. Microsoft might be better for a larger organization. In general, however, the whole setup is pretty easy to use.

It needs better Enterprise controls.

We've used it for seven years.

Mainly migration issues from IBM Notes.

There were no issues with the stability.

We've had no issues scaling it.

Customer Service:

It's good.

Technical Support:

It's good.

It's very straightforward.

We did it in-house.

It's justifiable.

The price is attractive as India enjoys a special price.

There were no other options looked at.

Go for it and use it effectively. Do take change management from Google.

We mainly use it as our email system.

When I compare with Office 365, G Suite has fewer features.

The collaboration in Office 365 is more advanced and more developed than G Suite.

We have been using the G Suite Basic Edition for between two and three years.

We have not had any limitations with G Suite. There are no issues with the stability of this product.

We have not needed help from technical support. G Suite is pretty much straightforward.

There is nothing to install. We just have to subscribe to it.

The implementation was very easy.

We have plans to migrate to Office 365. We want to keep everything on the same platform for office applications. Rather than purchase two licenses, we would like to purchase one.

I would say that Office 365 is better to use.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The Hangouts feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us.

The Google Slides should be able to be available in a "read-only" format, even if they are downloaded. Currently, when you share a slide, it can be edited or even downloaded and edited. We'd prefer it if there was a way to protect them from being tampered with.

The user interface, especially on Google Drive, could be better.

I've been using the solution for three years.

The stability of the solution is perfect. It's very reliable.

The solution is on Google's public cloud. Currently, the solution is serving its purpose and I don't know if there are any enhancements needed.

I'd rate it nine out of ten.

The features we use quite a lot are the mail and Google Drive. We can store documents and share documents between both employees here, locally in Sweden, and we have an office in the US as well. It's a very easy way to share information and documents, and have online meetings and stuff with Google Meet. We use it quite a lot.

We have been using this solution for five years. 

It has been very stable, actually. I can't remember if we had anything that I actually can blame Google for. It's more our internet connection, we need to have it working for this work of course but no, it has been stable.

We just have around a hundred users. At that scale, it works fine. We haven't had any real problems with scaling. For our size company, it seems to be working well.

We have a couple of IT people here that manage it, but it's just a few hours. It doesn't really take much, it doesn't have many users. Fairly little maintenance is needed.

Support is actually not direct. You can search online for information from Google. We have been able to solve things that way, just finding information online. 

The initial setup was straightforward because it's totally web-based. We managed it via the web browser and we don't need any special installation of software stuff locally. It was quite easy to set up and start with.

We deployed it around five years ago, but it took a few days to get the basics. It was fairly straightforward. It took a couple of days and I think we had most of it up. We started using it and then we learn as we go with new features and stuff, but the whole thing was fairly straightforward.

There's always room for improvement but it works fairly well for what we need. The conference systems can always be improved of course, but it works quite well for most of the functions we use. Obviously, it's not perfect. Everything can always be better of course, but we are quite satisfied with it.

There is a cost per user, per month. It depends on how many users they have in the system. It's a decent cost anyway. It feels quite okay for what we get for it.

It's simple and easy to get working and started. You don't really need to locally install stuff, you have the browser and that's it. It's easy to set up and it's fairly flexible. There are a lot of apps in it like Meet or collaboration tools. It works well and we have been using it daily. It seems to be a robust and working system. We are quite happy with it. I would recommend it. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. We haven't had any main problems with it. It's more like it could be hard sometimes to find your way through all the settings and using things like that. It's a flexible system, in general it's hassle-free.

In the next release, I would like to see more encryption of documents, mail, and things like that. There should be a better way to encrypt mail and documents that are pushed through this system. That would be some improvement or additional features that could be good to have.

Awesome collaboration features. Great group meetings, sharing, and using an integrated environment with office tools.

All-in-one package for our business needs. A complete integrated environment for our business. I get Google docs, Gmail, online space, and calendar where I can easily perform all documentation, storage, and communications online.

Google Apps for Business and Skype for Business are the perfect solutions for every business thriving online. It is very easy and inexpensive to get work done with these applications online.

I need more integration features in both Google Apps for Business and Skype for Business. There are certain office productivity features which need to be integrated in them. Also, if possible, some more useful features could be added, and the performance speed could be improved when the internet connection is slow.

Less than one year.

We receive value for the price that we pay. 

A great innovation from one of the best tech leaders in the industry.
