About Google Workspace
Google Workspace is how teams of all sizes connect, create, and collaborate — to drive innovation from any device, and any location.
Customer support is good and in some plans you have priority support services. The collaboration is the most transparent possible, work agility is better than with other solutions.
It can be frustrating when there are features that are available in MS Suite that GSuite does not have. They are few and far in between, but once in a while it does frustrate you.

Google Workspace is pretty awesome♥️
Comments: My experience with Google Workspace has been quite the journey, akin to embarking on an adventure through a well-organized, digital realm. Imagine a bustling marketplace where every stall offers a different tool, yet they all work in harmony to help you achieve your goals. The seamless integration of Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides creates a cohesive environment where productivity thrives. It's like having a magical quill that never runs out of ink, ready to capture your thoughts and ideas at a moment's notice. The real-time collaboration features are particularly enchanting, allowing multiple users to work together as if they were all gathered around a single, ever-expanding parchment. However, like any grand adventure, there are a few bumps along the way. Navigating through the myriad of options and settings can sometimes feel like wandering through a dense forest without a map. Yet, once you get the hang of it, the journey becomes smoother and more intuitive. In summary, Google Workspace is a powerful suite of tools that, despite a few minor hiccups, offers a rich and rewarding experience for anyone looking to enhance their productivity and collaboration.
Pros:
Google Workspace is pretty awesome! I love how everything is integrated so smoothly. You can hop from Gmail to Google Docs to Google Meet without missing a beat. It's like having a magical toolkit where all the tools just work together perfectly. Plus, the real-time collaboration in Google Docs is a game-changer—it's like having a virtual brainstorming session where everyone can contribute at the same time.
Cons:
If I had to pick something, I'd say sometimes the interface can feel a bit cluttered, especially if you're juggling a lot of tasks at once. It can be easy to get lost in all the tabs and options. But overall, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
Alternatives Considered:
Must-have for teams collaboration
Pros:
This tool ecosystem enables any team to increase online collaboration. It helps organizations of all sizes to adapt to secure cloud storage. You can take advantage of a ton of integrations which will help a ton with remote working and team enablement.
Cons:
As always, a small learing curve is expected when you first set-up this tools. It is reccomended to have an experienced user to walk through the different possibilites so the rest of the team can make the most out of the platform. There is online documentation and several tutorials for this too.

Google Workspace - the good, the bad, and the downright ugly
Comments: Overall, I've been mostly pleased with my experience with Google Workspace. However, because of the serious issues I've had with trying to reassemble my total file structure and now having at least 12 duplicates of each file/folder, I have chosen to build my own redundant file server with exponential storage so that I can do not have to contend with the synching issues. Once I sort out the duplicates and rebuild my original file structure to completion, I will likely ditch Workspace (at least the drive portion). I do not see the need to pay ~$275/year for the service if I can store my files at home and access them anywhere worldwide - with at least six to ten times the amount of storage space available.
Pros:
I like the convenience of Google Workspace - I can use my business' domain name and still have all the creature comforts of Google's numerous apps and tools, like Drive, email, etc.
Cons:
There is a learning curve when setting up Google Workspace. From my perspective, an average user will not understand the in-depth and granular onboarding process. Google Workspace seemingly treats its users as large corporations, and as such, it fashions its directions and setup process as though they are dealing with IT pros. However, as a small freelance design studio (sole proprietor), I do not need all the features that are available to set up, such as mobile device authorizations, auditing, groups, and teams. I wish Google had the option of scaling their set-up and onboarding process specifically to each user—perhaps a preferences board where options can be toggled on/off to lessen the confusion. Thankfully, I have prior knowledge of domain setup, mailbox management, etc. However, I still had to consult Google support more than once to ensure my settings were correct. However, beyond the length of the setup process, my biggest complaint about Google Workspace is that there is no easy or efficient way to eliminate duplicate files and protect files from errant deletion. Therefore, if a sync session is interrupted, files can be inadvertently duplicated, or when files on one terminal are accidentally deleted, those files are also deleted within the Drive space—a complete recipe for disaster. This has happened to me more than once. I attempted to remove duplicate files from my internal hard drive but didn't realize that my Drive app was still running. Instead of being able to correct my course and undelete the data, the app synced my changes to the cloud, and my data was forever lost (because of the sheer amount of it - over 4 TB). I've since attempted to restore many of the files using EaseUs recovery software and miscellaneous backups I have from other hard drives, but that has also turned into a disaster because when I start the copying process (restoring the files), the internet cuts out and the connection is lost. The whole process has to be restarted, but Google doesn't know where it left off and where it needs to begin, so the process starts from scratch, causing multiples of each file to collect in the cloud, and then it is synced back to my local hard drive - using up precious storage space. Google needs a more robust solution to track file changes and versions, a check/balance approach to adding and replacing files, and the ability to resume a sync or copy session where it left off.

Leave O365 Behind!
Comments: Love it, have all the basics and more, plus more integrations than I know what to do with. A great way to streamline work
Pros:
The amount of applications Google workspace offers is incredible. Not only do you get the standard email, writing, presentation, and excel type of programs you also can take advantage of several others that are incredible for business. The ability to use google voice, analytics, gemini, etc is incredible.
Cons:
Not a con, more of a personal anecdote, I wish I knew the basics behind all of what Google workspace offers so I knew what I had available to me that maybe I wasn't taking advantage of. A demo or short explanation of each tool would be great.

Google Workspace for Virtual Assistants
Comments: My overall experience with Google Workspace has been highly positive, as it serves as a fundamental tool in my virtual assistant business. I appreciate the seamless integration across various applications, which enhances my efficiency and allows for smooth transitions between tasks. The real-time collaboration features in Google Docs and Sheets have significantly improved my ability to work with clients, making it easy to edit and provide feedback instantaneously. I value Gmail for its powerful email management capabilities, enabling me to stay organized with custom filters and labels. Google Calendar has proven essential for scheduling, particularly when coordinating with clients across different time zones, ensuring that I manage appointments effortlessly. Google Drive stands out as a reliable platform for document storage and sharing, providing the security and accessibility I need for sensitive files. The ability to manage tasks and notes through Google Tasks and Keep has further streamlined my workflow. While I have encountered some minor drawbacks—such as occasional lag with large files and limited features in Google Meet—these do not overshadow the overall effectiveness of the suite. The intuitive interface and comprehensive tools allow me to operate efficiently, making Google Workspace an invaluable asset to my business.
Pros:
-Seamless Integration between apps (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, etc.) -Real-time Collaboration on Docs and Sheets with live editing and commenting -Secure File Sharing and storage with advanced permission controls -Task Management through Google Tasks and Keep for staying organized -Reliable Video Conferencing with Google Meet, easy to use without extra software -Customizable Email Organization with labels, filters, and multiple inbox options -Cross-device Accessibility from any location with cloud-based functionality -Time Zone Adjustments in Calendar for managing meetings with clients globally -Version History in Docs and Sheets for tracking changes and reverting to previous versions -Offline Mode for Docs, Sheets, and Drive to work without internet and sync later -Easy User Management and access control through the Admin Console.
Cons:
-Occasional Lag when working with large files in Google Drive. -Limited Advanced Features in Google Meet compared to other video conferencing platforms (e.g., fewer interactive tools). -Storage Limits on free or lower-tier plans, potentially requiring upgrades. -Formatting Limitations in Google Docs and Sheets compared to desktop alternatives like Microsoft Office. -Complexity for New Users due to the range of apps and settings. -Inconsistent Offline Mode performance, sometimes leading to syncing issues. -Basic Task Management in Google Tasks lacks advanced project management features. -Drive’s Folder Navigation can feel clunky when managing large amounts of files.

Small business using Google G suite for 5+ years
Comments: We have been using the Google workspace products for the past 5 years with G suite and have no plans on switching to any other solution.
Pros:
Having all of our documents integrated and accessible from anywhere, with great software options for every device we use.
Cons:
We would like better recovery options for deleted/lost data.
Get work done with workspace
Comments: Overall my experience with Google Workspace has been great. The services and features are in line iwth what I need to complete projects.
Pros:
I use google workspace every day for emails, creating documents and spreadsheets. It is the best and most user friendly platform I have used for these types of projects.
Cons:
The features are starting to fall behind and it hasn't modernized its look.
Simple and Effective
Comments: Overall, It has been good for my team to keeps things together. We use Meet regularly and we use all of the typically used apps like Docs, Slides, Sheets.
Pros:
I like that it has everything that my organization needs to use. Most people are familiar with using Google products so it is a fairly simple transition.
Cons:
It can get complex when you have years of work. Without constant attention to organization, it gets unruly easily.
Excellent choice
Comments: Smoothest sailing I've ever experienced with a workspace product
Pros:
Everything syncs and it's very easy to use
Cons:
The features of the communication channels are a bit lackluster
Google Workspace should be your first choice for documents
Comments: Thanks to it being saved in my Google Drive, I can access my documents across multiple devices. Also if I need to I can save it to a specific device and in multiple formats.
Pros:
It is simple and easy to use. It has all the necessary features and isn't overblown with unnecessary features to overwhelm regular users.
Cons:
If there is any con it could use some different themes or a splash of colour.
Using G Suite as a Business Communicator
Comments:
Overall, G Suite is a dream to use – so long as you have a reliable internet connection.
I especially appreciate the collaborative features, the ability to set differing permissions, and the integration with other products. The ability to use it on a smartphone on the go is very helpful as well.
Pros:
I love the collaborative aspects of G Suite. The ability to create shared folders and documents that are accessible from anywhere, the ability for multiple people to work in and comment on documents all at the same time. The ability to tag/call out colleagues in a document, and assign them sections to work on is amazing as well. There is even a built-in chat function to host a discussion within a document. Moreover, the accessibility of documents from anywhere with an internet connection is great. It's as easy to do from within a mobile app as it is on a desktop computer, making sharing items on the fly (or while out sick) a snap! We use G Suite with LumApps intranet, and G Suite integrates nearly seamlessly. It's great! As a business communicator, the ability to set different permissions in a document is immensely helpful, and it is appreciated!
Cons:
Some features are a little less intuitive than others, which sends a curveball. In some ways, Google have set the bar so high for themselves with the way some features work, that they almost set themselves up to disappoint when other features don't perform or are less intuitive. G Suite is often marketed as a Microsoft Office replacement. And in many ways, it is. However, there are a couple of features that are missing or underdeveloped: In any document, it is not possible to do a find-and-replace that is limited to a specific section or limited to a highlighted area. Find-and-replace applies to the entire document, which is very vexing. In Google Slides, it is not possible to set differing slide durations; each slide must advance at the same interval. Both of these features, which I used every day in Microsoft Office, seem relatively easy to implement. (But then again, I am not a coder!)

G Suite is the gold standard in productivity applications
Comments: G Suite makes it easily to collaborate not only within your own organization, but also with other organizations on every area from email to processing spreadsheets. It's a must-have in my opinion. As a Gmail user since its early days, I completely trust Google and have faith in what they do (from a non-political side, but I understand that's part of their marketing strategy)
Pros:
- Integrated with most of the web - Has document/office features, easily accessible through nearly any internet browser - Gmail (email) is closely tied in with everything - OAuth2 / SSO makes signing up for websites that you wouldn't otherwise care to take time on a breeze - Google Voice is awesome - Security is unmatched by any other company
Cons:
- Google sometimes has questionable motives - Their betas are sometimes forced - Sometimes they drag their feet on important feature releases after announcement, but regardless they always meet their promises. This actually shows great QA and project management which is more of a pro than a con
Alternatives Considered:
All in one solution for new companies
Comments:
There is hardly any other tool that offers this much at this price. Google Drive and all its document creation features are essentially a must in any modern company, and the only other option is Office 365 which is still miles away due to their late online adoption and unreasonable price. And it comes attached with the de-facto email manager and a calendar that works out of the vox in almost any android device.
The value for money is very competitive.
Pros:
GSuite is a plug and play set of productivity tools for virtually any company but specially but starting companies (as early choices may have large impacts down the road). If you're looking into having your email account set up with your domain name, this is the way to go as it works seamlessly to provide a gmail account in that domain (little configuration). Plus, along comes a calendar, video-calls, cloud space for files, and a suite of document creation tools (docs, sheets, slides, etc). Since all of these are very connected with each other, this was a no-brainer choice and very powerful for startups.
Cons:
Google created an amazing product by just stiching several of its already existing products and making them work together really well, but beyond that (which is already a lot) there is little else. For example, it's just normal that people enter and leave a company, and the support for forwarding emails or managing these "old accounts" is limited. Other specific functionalities are also limited or a bit too complicated in comparison with the rest of the suite, like managing rooms, creating email lists, or controlling permissions. Also, one misses a Slack-like functionality. Where is google's version of slack? It could so easily be integrated in Gsuite.

The Best Out There For Collaborative Work
Comments: I love Google Suite. It truly is the best collaborative site out there. It makes communication, sharing, and editing super easy. I never have to worry about losing any files or information because G suite has my back!
Pros:
I absolutely love how easy it is to collaborate with teammates. I never have to worry about saving a document or losing a document. Google suite makes it easy to keep all my files in one place and share my files with hundreds of other users. G Suite has a lot of storage for my files and makes it easy to archive and retrieve any file. I also love how you can search for a document by typing any word in the file. I use G Suite for everything
Cons:
There is not much to complain about but I dislike how difficult it is to remove large quantities of files. I also have a love hate relationship with how detailed the progress history is—while it is beneficial for tracking work, it is frustration when it causes problems among teammates.
Alternatives Considered:
A great business collaboration tool
Comments: Google Workspace has been an amazing asset to my business. The apps are user-friendly and the collaboration tools are top-notch. I love the ability to easily share files and communicate with my team members. The pricing is also very affordable. The business apps integration is also a great feature - you can easily access your email, calendar, and contacts from within the workspace. Overall, I've found Google Workspace to be a great tool for business collaboration.
Pros:
Google Workspace is the most complete way to work from anywhere specifically when you have to work both from home and office. Google Workspace includes Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sheets and Slides. I can use all these services from one place with a single login. It's saves a huge time. I can work with others team mate at the same time on the same document and see their changes in real time.
Cons:
It is little bit hard to configure for the first time if you are not a tech savvy guys.
Alternatives Considered:
User friendly
Comments: Very user friendly easy to understand the setting is customizable. very efficient in using this in managing a large team cascading info lightning fast.
Pros:
All in one package for me as an employee. we use it to time in and time out on our work also sharing files with each other is very convenient. what I like the most is the schedule reminder having multiple android device whatever I am using it will remind me like 10 minutes before my meeting start in google meet.
Cons:
When I used the Google workspace chat features there are some limitation like sending a file video sometimes it fails if it reach certain MB but always succeed if I send it in facebook messenger. I wish the mb limitation of how you send video in google workspace chat features will be larger in this we dont need to like jump in messenger if sending certain video wont upload in chat feature of google worksapce. and some of the android device like samsung galaxy note 10 plus is not full optimized in google workspace chat features randomly crashes or failed to send.
Alternatives Considered:
Good Business Collaboration Platform
Comments: Overall, it is a useful service to use for document storage. Less so for anything more complex because you'll have to do it all yourself and won't be able to rely on the system to assist you identify, store, and recover documents. Pray that you never leave that company or organisation as well, as you won't ever be able to access your files exactly as they are on your drive and you'll discover that you've lost a lot of data about which you were unaware.
Pros:
The most advantageous features of this programme are collaboration and online storage. Sharing a link to an uploaded content is another great technique to provide each user the appropriate security rights.Having everything in one location and beginning each day in a hub is incredibly convenient. That Google Sweet contains practically everything a business needs is what I appreciate about it the best.
Cons:
Because of the potential for less customization and detail in the notifications, we occasionally need to review the Google Workspace notifications in-depth.
Alternatives Considered:
Google Workspace is the absolute best - there's truly no other option!
Comments: Having an international team, the integration with Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides and more has made our collective workflow so much more efficient. I love being able to collaborate with my team in real-time on documents and spreadsheets, and the ability to access everything from any device has been a lifesaver. The interface is clean and easy to use, but customer support can be difficult to get a speedy response from, but hey, it's Google. I highly recommend Google Workspace to anyone looking to streamline their work process.
Pros:
It's easily accessible for remote workers to collaborate. With a global team that works cross-collaboratively, it's important to have all shared work files in one place, easily customizable and streamlined. Saves our company hours in electronic file management.
Cons:
I have no cons about Google Workspace itself! I guess, for Google Meetings, I wish it were a bit less glitchy. There can be issues when creating meetings for other attendees, or echo issues.
It's So Easy To Use You Feel Bad For Using It
Comments: Almost every business I have worked with over the last ten years or so has been rooted in Google Suite products, from advertising to basic internal communication. Over the years I've become extremely familiar with Chrome, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, AdWords, AdSense, scripting automation, Maps, Earth, YouTube, Chromecast, Analytics, Waze, Calendar, Android, Keep, Slides... and I'm pretty sure there are more that ought to be on the list, but the point is there is a Google version of almost everything I need to do. I was an early adopter of Microsoft's original OLE (object linking and embedding) that allowed you to be able to manage your data in one place (the database) and have changes reflected everywhere the data was used - Word Docs, Excel spreadsheets, Project reports and so on. G-Suite is like Office on steroids mixed with a little free 'crack' to keep you coming back - because they keep adding new functionality and it almost never costs the user a dime... as long as you don't mind being the commodity.
Pros:
There's no getting around the fact that the single most compelling reason to use the Google suite of business apps is that they are free for the average user. Gmail itself is ubiquitous, so no matter what group you work with - room mothers, band members, co-workers, volunteers - anyone with internet access either has, or can easily create, a Gmail address and boom - you're all part of a system that is easy to control. Sharing documents with Google Drive is way better than clogging up someone's email sending them file attachments. You can even share files with people you don't know - got a downloadable product you want to sell and don't have the time or the money to set up a full-fledged store? Include a secure link in a shared Google Drive file in an email or on a web page or even in a receipt. It's so easy you feel like you cheated. Another reason for using the Google Suite of products is that no matter what aspect of the G-Suite you are digging into, there will be a LOT of info out on the internet about how to get the most out of it. YouTube, Adwords scripts, spreadsheet automation, data reporting, maps to your business location, photo management and sharing, translating documents, managing your money, operating a classroom, casting web content to your TV... the list is extensive, and so are the online resources - videos and articles by users abound.
Cons:
One drawback to using this software is that it's unequivocally connected to YOU. Google Maps knows where you are if you have it installed on a phone. Every single IP address used to access any part of the Google universe is logged. Google code is in everything, all over the place. It's a little big-brother-feeling. That's the trade-off. You get all their software for free, but you give up your anonymity.
The hidden face of G Suite
Comments: Overall we are saving such much time with all the collaboration options that we use it for all of our companies. On top of having the peace of mind that everything is secured and always running.
Pros:
Yes, I love having all the required basic tools to run my business like emails, calendar, drive storage, docs and everything else. I could talk about all the obvious features everyone knows about G Suite but for me the value of G Suite for business goes beyond that. Considering that running a business in 2019 almost always guaranteed that you will need to have an online presence of some sort, being on G Suite simplify a lot of the processes and required tools access needed to run your business online. Let me explain. When running or starting a business, you need Google My Business Google Analytics, Google Webmaster, Google Ads, YouTube, Google Trends and on and on. Being on G Suite allows you to centralize all of those assets and access under your company to avoid having personal emails owning your assets which can bring issues when trying to linked them all. It also simplify how you manage your employees access to all those assets and platforms. I could even add that there are so many platforms outside of Google cco-system uses Google Single Sign-in option that being on G Suite again simplify the account sign process. Finally the ability to control and protect your company data using G Suite management platform is just awesome, sometime a bit of advanced knowledge is required but nothing that can't be understood in Google's the support section.
Cons:
Not that much, it's easy to setup , however, it can get a bit complicated for new users to setup advanced features. But again the support section is very detailed.
Alternatives Considered:
Highly recommended! A good investment for your company
Comments: In general it is a great product for any company, both medium and large, the support is quite fast and in several languages. It takes a little while for the initial setup, but it's worth it.
Pros:
When you buy G Suite, you have access to a large number of applications that improve the overall quality of communication within the company and also with customers, "Meet" for video conferences, "sites" for websites, "Chat" to send messages of text and the always useful Gmail are available are included with the subscription. It also comes with a space of 15gb per user in google drive, and office tools. The initial setup is not that simple, but you can have help online or by calling. User administration is quite easy. You can choose between making payments monthly or annually (the latest with a percentage of discount).
Cons:
Althogh they provide a FAQ and other instructions on how to customize and implement their products, there is needed additional help from the customer servicer. There are many steps to follow for making specific configuration in the email groups. G suite allows the migration of emails from a previous provider but not every provider is compatible. I also had some problems running the applications on an iphone (the mac had no problem).

Keep data safe with built-in security features that protect your company's information
Cons:
Google Workspace has been a popular cloud computing suite for businesses in recent years, but it does come with some drawbacks. The most notable disadvantage of Google Workspace is its cost - while there are free and basic plans available, the more advanced features can get expensive. In addition, there can be compatibility issues when using Google Workspace across different devices or operating systems. Customers have also reported occasional glitches and system downtime with their services. Lastly, there is limited customer support available to help troubleshoot any technical issues that may arise. These disadvantages should be weighed when considering whether or not to use Google Workspace for your business needs.Google Workspace does have some limitations when it comes to integrations and customizations. For example, you cannot completely customize the interface of Google services or integrate third-party software into them. You may be able to find add-ons from the G Suite Marketplace, but these don't always offer comprehensive solutions. Additionally, while there are many supported cloud storage services that can integrate with Google Workspace, they are limited and often require specific setup processes to work properly. Ultimately this means that those who need more complex integration and customization may find Google Workspace lacking in this area.

Can’t imagine a without using Google Workspace
Comments: The efficiency of Google is truly remarkable, as it encompasses a significant portion of my digital life. I've retained my original Google Workspace account's domain precisely because of the seamless integration it offers with various aspects of my online presence.Hindsight being 20/20, I realize that creating a personalized domain would have been a wise move given the substantial impact Google Workspace has had on my life. It's worth noting that my experience is not unique—many individuals share this sentiment.From a business standpoint, Google Workspace serves as the foundational cornerstone for every enterprise. It's the starting point for numerous business activities, spanning from the inception of a new company to the complex task of employee management, including hiring and even terminations. The all-encompassing nature of Google Workspace is undeniably evident, solidifying its role as an integral tool in the business landscape.
Pros:
I have been a user of Google Workspace for over a year, consistently witnessing the introduction of new and enhanced features. Throughout this time, I haven't come across any aspects of Google Workspace that I didn't appreciate. I do believe that increasing the email storage space would be a valuable addition. Additionally, I'm eagerly anticipating further enhancements in Google Calendar, as it seems to have been lacking significant updates compared to other components of the suite.
Cons:
Simplifying the process of switching from my current account to another would greatly enhance user experience. Although there have been attempts to address this issue, my earlier accounts were established using my current email address, making it quite challenging to transition seamlessly between different accounts.
Collaborative and easy to use productivity suite
Comments: Overall, Google Workspace has been an indispensable tool for my team. It simplifies collaboration, helps us stay organized, and allows us to work from anywhere. For companies looking for an all-in-one productivity solution that integrates communication, collaboration, and cloud storage, Google Workspace is an excellent choice. The convenience of having everything in one place far outweighs any minor limitations.
Pros:
hat I like most about Google Workspace is its seamless integration of tools that enhance team collaboration and productivity. As a CMO, managing multiple projects and communicating with various teams is essential, and Google Workspace makes this effortless. The real-time collaboration on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations through Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides is a game-changer for remote or hybrid teams. It’s easy to keep everything organized through Google Drive, and the integration with Gmail and Google Calendar helps keep our communication and scheduling on track. The flexibility of accessing these tools from any device is incredibly useful, especially when I’m on the go.
Cons:
The only area I feel could use improvement is the offline functionality of some tools. While Google Workspace works great online, the offline mode doesn’t always perform as smoothly, particularly when syncing changes. Additionally, some of the advanced features in Google Sheets and Docs are a bit limited compared to other standalone tools, but these are minor trade-offs given the overall ease of use and collaborative features.
