“Integrated Tools and Cloud Accessibility Make Google Workspace a Reliable Choice”
Using Google Workspace in my day-to-day work has been mostly a positive experience as it keeps everything simple and well connected. It helps me stay productive and collaborate easily even though there are times when internet issues or feature limits slow things down but still having everything in one place outweighs the drawbacks making it a dependable and reliable tool that I continue to use for both personal and team tasks.

“Missing Basic Features and Challenging UI Impact Workspace Product Usability”
The overall experience is poor. The UI and lack of user friendly features pose a constant challenge while using the Workspace products. Lack of table stake features like a scroll up and down arrow, being able to open an email in a pop up window with a single click, etc. degrade the user experience.

Google Workspace Likes & Dislikes
What stands out most to me about Google Workspace is how smoothly everything works together in one place. I can create and edit documents, sheets and slides in real time with others which makes teamwork fast and hassle free. The built-in cloud storage with Google Drive means my files are always saved, easy to find and accessible from any device. I also really like how Gmail, Calendar and Meet are tightly connected making communication and scheduling simple also the clean interface and strong security features help me stay organized and confident while working every day.
I like the web interface which allows you to use the product without having to have a desktop or mobile client installed, allowing access to work email from any device and browser.
Enhances collaboration due to its strong real-time asynchronous workflows and co-authoring Contains enterprise grade security Cloud-based allowing one to work from any location
Sometimes it depends heavily on a stable internet connection which can be frustrating when the network is slow also some advanced features feel limited compared to desktop software in Sheets and Docs. Managing storage can also become confusing over time as occasional updates change the layout which takes time to get used to.
The user experience is poor. Compared to using other enterprise collaboration applications, it is far inferior. I have outlined some of basic features above which the application lacks.
There is inconsistent integration with industry specific software like TMS and this forces one to rely on manual workflows to bridge that gap between systems.

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
See Full DiscussionYeah, 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
See Full DiscussionWe'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.

Unified Communication, Real-Time Collaboration; Growth Engine for Transport Strategy
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. - EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT COORDINATOR50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source
Google Workspace Streamlines Teamwork Despite Occasional Syncing and Storage Issues

Collaboration and Organization Streamlined but Permission Management Can Be Confusing
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. - BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE<50M USDSoftwareReview Source
