Google Workspace Likes & Dislikes

It was very simple, customizable, and cheap to run.

Like

It's Google, it's open. Not many competitors. We're more opensourtce and saas oriented so there are no many choises out there.

Like

We are a Google Suite company and utilize Google Workspace for all of our communication needs

Dislike

It had limited font options, and some of the templates felt stiff and difficult to manipulate.

Dislike

its ok. A bit late for IA deployment. Changes in features and distribution are not fair.

Dislike

Some tools within Google Workspace could use more improvement, like Google Sites.

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.

    Google Workspace is a great tool for collaboration and sharing working processes; the possibilities of cross-platform integrations are vast and suitable for various cases. I've been using it for all parts of my work, starting from scheduling meetings and ending at writing scripts for google sheets. At every step I was able to access help from my colleagues in seconds just by sharing a link, and it is wonderful.
