Unified Communication, Real-Time Collaboration; Growth Engine for Transport Strategy

5.0
Aug 2, 2025
Using Google Workspace for Unified Communication has been a great drive in our business. It has helped with faster creation of proposals and communication with clients during pitching for transport solutions. The results are speeded up client outreach and cut down on turnaround time for tenders. It also saves time on admin work. Another advantage is its seamless collaboration across regions and departments as well due to features such as shared calendars and Google Docs for real-time editing of presentations or proposals. Another advantage is the integrated project and flow of communication through tools such as Google Chat Rooms, Forms and Comments & tag mentions, all of which keep entire project centralized and traceable. It also helps with curbing miscommunication due to lost documents or emails thus supports collaboration. Another advantage is its secure, cloud-based access anywhere as the tools are 100% cloud-based, it contains admin level security control and offers offline editing for Slides, Docs and Sheets. This ensures that there is secure access from any device, anywhere, and this makes it ideal for strategic remote teams. It also ensures that one does not lose access to strategic documents or plans.

Google Workspace: Reliable Collaboration Tool

3.0
May 14, 2025
I've been using Google Workspace for quite a while at this point. I don't have much to compare it to but I have no complaints really. It's fairly easy to use and keeps everything synced across my devices which is quite helpful. I especially like the different collaboration features which come in handy when working together on a project or just for overall collaboration in the company.

What Your Peers Are Saying About Google Workspace

IT Analyst
Can anyone share details of identified privacy risk linked to the google workspace agreement/ privacy notice- specific to using the Youtube service?
Researcher & Contributor
Yeah, I think that using YouTube within Google Workspace can definitely present privacy concerns, including (and especially) third-party data sharing, content exposure risks, and inconsistent privacy protections compared to core services. Challenges include data residency compliance, inadequate access controls, and integration vulnerabilities. Some of My Key Recommendations Would Be: - Enforce clear policies and educate users on safe YouTube usage. - Regularly audit YouTube settings for compliance and security. - Leverage Google's tools like the Cloud Data Processing Addendum and YouTube management guide. - Proactive measures can help mitigate risks while ensuring compliance and security.

Who is using or investigating Google Workspace? What is your experience regarding collaboration with Microsoft 365 users in the own organization or with other companies ? Which Microsoft services are still in use? Do you also consider Google Chrome Enterprise Premium? Do you have a plan to fully migrate to Google (and what's the timeline)?
Chief Information Officer
We've been a long time user of Google Workspace. We've also had to maintain a parallel set of Microsoft licenses (Office suite only - Word, Excel Powerpoint etc) for a portion of the organization. We will never be able to get to Google only - we have requirements for external content sharing/collaboration requirements (e.g. legal, procurement), application specific support for MS Office only, or at times simply user preference. We periodically have to harvest Microsoft licensing to avoid too much overlap. It imposes an approval process - who also gets Office. The use of both tools creates some inconvenience when moving between file formats both within the organization as well as externally sharing - they're pretty compatible but there are always formatting and other minor issues. We will not consider chrome enterprise premium. If we were migrating anywhere, it would be to standardize on Microsoft, though it's not high on the priority list at the moment.

    My experience with Google Workspace has been great because it makes collaboration and daily work much easier with its integrated tools and real time editing features but managing storage and occasional syncing issues can be a bit frustrating and the convenience, accessibility and seamless teamwork it offers make it a very effective productivity platform.

    Google Workspace keeps all my work organized in one place and makes collaboration with others easy and efficient. I appreciate how everything syncs across devices and integrates seamlessly which saves time and reduces hassle, but managing permissions and finding older files can sometimes be a bit tricky.

    Efficient Task Management and Trust Control Provided by Google Workspace Access Levels

    5.0
    Aug 22, 2025
    Google workspace has helped me manage efficient use of technologies used to maximize my online presence through various users within my organization. The integration of Gemini has amplified usage through allowing a more efficient means to communicate with employees. Access levels allow me to manage trust within an organization. The ability to integrate the workspace with outside technologies has made the experience more convenient. I also find many cloud technologies to be easily integrated within the workspace eco system.
