    Why do users choose G Suite?

    What would users change about G Suite?

    Pros
    Love it, love it love it. As a small business, it has al of the tools we need to run and operate our business.
    My overall experience with Google Workspace has been great. There are so many useful tools within it and it is perfect for a business owner.
    A really great place to work out of, ease of use is 10/10, and just really a workplace's best friend.
    Cons
    For example, inserting code into a google doc is sometimes ugly and extremely inconvenient. I imagine there are other similar specialized use cases that should be added.
    We did run into occasional glitches and bugs, especially where access permissions are concerned, which can be a problem.
    At times when files are imported from external apps such as Microsoft 360 for example there are loss of formatting and data types which is inconvenient.

    Google Workspace Review: All Of Our Favorite Tools In One.

    Reviewed a year ago

    Transcript

    Allen E.: Hey, this is Allen [inaudible 00:00:02] sport owner. I've got a team of three. We give Google Workspace a five. We started our business back in 2018, and right off the bat we just went with Google Workspace. We didn't consider any other options at the time. It's familiar, we use Gmail anyways and Calendar. So it just took all of our favorite tools, rolled it into one, and gives us a lot of access, and abilities to be able to control who has access to our files. I love all the different suites or different apps that it has. Obviously Gmail Calendar, Forms are the big ones that we use. Drive is a huge one that we use. And the ability to share files to people within the company, outside the company, control access, who can edit, who can view. So it gives us a lot of options to be able to protect our IP. It's just a great tool, productivity tool. Super easy to get started with Google Workspace. There is a bit of a learning curve once you want to start adding new members to your team, and being able to decommission them from your team. But once you have that down, it's super easy to use. Consider getting Google Workspace, just start with the lowest tier, try it out, see how it works for you, and then from there you can bump up the tiers based on what your particular needs and situation are.

    Josh: Hi, my name is Josh. I'm a lawyer and I work in the legal industry and I rate Google GSuite four out of five stars. We looked at a variety of different management softwares that were recommended to us by our IT professionals. There were some that I just don't even recognize, whereas I recognized Google clearly, it's an industry standard, and that's why we selected GSuite. We chose GSuite specifically because it's an industry standard that all of our staff and partners would be familiar with, as well as the recommendation of our IT professionals. We found GSuite to be very easy to integrate into our existing platform. It's an industry standard, it was recommended by our IT professionals and the setup was quite easy. I recommend educating yourself about what the industry standards are as well as what the preferences of your IT group are in making a decision about the kind of software and platform that GSuite addresses in managing your domains and your variety of internet information and presentations.

    Efficient Collaboration with Some Limitations

    Reviewed a month ago

    My overall experience with Google Workspace has been positive. It offers seamless collaboration tools that make working with teams easy and efficient, with the added benefit of cloud-based access to files from anywhere. The integration with other Google services like Gmail and Calendar enhances productivity, and the user interface is straightforward and intuitive. However, there are some limitations in advanced features compared to other specialized tools, and the need for constant internet access can sometimes be a drawback. Overall, it's a reliable solution for day-to-day tasks and team collaboration.

    Pros

    Google Workspace offers seamless real-time collaboration, cloud-based access, and smooth integration with other Google services, enhancing productivity. Its strong security features and user-friendly interface make it a reliable choice for teams.

    Cons

    The main downside of Google Workspace is that some advanced features are limited compared to specialized software like Microsoft Office, particularly in handling spreadsheets and presentations. Additionally, relying entirely on internet access to work on and access files can be a challenge for some users.

    Google Workspace is great for work and home.

    Reviewed 2 months ago

    Overall Google Workspace is a great suite of products for both business and personal use. I really like that I have access to many of the tools I use for work, in a free platform that I can use in my personal life. The tools share common functionality and formulas across the suite of products and integrate seamlessly with one another. I would definitely recommend it over the competitors.

    Pros

    Workspace in very intuitive and has a variety of business productivity application in one integrated platform. The applications function similar to other products that I have used and they integrate with products such as Microsoft Word and Excel, which makes transitioning from other products easy.

    Cons

    It took some time to adjust to using some of the more advanced features of Sheets. The Macros are similar to Excel, but there were enough differences that I found myself "googling" to understand how to replicate the Excel Macros in Sheets.

    Google workspace is best when you prefer to work on the cloud

    Reviewed a month ago

    There are a bunch of cool features and availability on the cloud is great but hard to beat M365 suite of apps that are more flexible and have desktop counterparts.

    Pros

    The option to use real time updated versions of any file and track the revisions on any browser is great.

    Cons

    Its mostly cloud based making the documents difficult to edit without a connection or when you are offline - like on a plane or when the organization restricts it.

    After 10 Years, Still Happy with Google Workspace

    Reviewed 3 months ago

    I use Google Workspace to control multiple email accounts, due to the different functions in my job. I can't imagine doing the same thing with paper mail and physical filing cabinets. When I need to find something, it's easy to find and continue with whatever needs to be done with that item.

    Pros

    I've been using the product (even though the name has changed) for about ten years. The different functions are readily available on sidebars or in menus and are easy to find and consistent, as to their placement and descriptive icons. Now, as I discover new ways to use different features, it makes noticeable improvements in my productivity, particularly, in being able to control exactly, how my email works, as far as organization, placement, specific filters, etc.

    Cons

    It would be nice if the archiving function worked differently. If we could sort by several parameters and move all of the results to a specific archive folder, that would not be part of the original email account.

    (Probably) the best mail in the world on your domain name

    Reviewed a month ago

    I've been using Google Workspace pretty much since it launched, sorry, forgot what it was called then, G Suit most likely. It's a flawless service for its money, including ( probably ) the best mail server of the day. I use it as my own domain and for corporate client solutions and except for usage bills, you won't have a bad experience with it.

    Pros

    To fully understand all the benefits of Google Workspace, you should ideally set up your own mail server at least once and understand how much work Google engineers have done to ‘package’ this product. And while there are many more products in the Workspace suite, you'll mostly be using Gmail and GDrive. The admin panel is well thought out and there are a lot of settings ‘under the hood’. You can leave it untouched and everything will work right away, or you can go inside and fine tune everything. But you can also mess things up. But! It would not be Google if there was no technical support. One time, but I messed with my mail settings and it stopped sending. I wrote to support, they called me back and together we fixed it.

    Cons

    Like any other cloud solution this is fine as long as you are using 10-500 accounts. Once the number of active accounts increases significantly, the monthly mail server bill may not be the most pleasant. Also, surprisingly, using Google mail servers doesn't guarantee that your email won't be blocked by a spam filter. But this is hardly a problem with Google Workspace. All these SPF, DKIM and other SPAM blocking technologies are only good if both sender and recipient have configured them.
