“Very good set of applications helping your teams to collaborate and create.”

3.0

Since Google is quite a dynamically changing company so sometimes it's hard to reach the right people to ask them for help with your case. However, if you find the right person the collaboration is very good.

Performance of Google Workspace Across Market Features

Google Workspace Likes & Dislikes

I like that it offers multiple software in one place so I don't need to jump from one software to another as it makes my work more organized, the interface is simple and easy to use and I can do real time collaboration using Google Workspace.

The user interface is clean and easy to use. Workspace is focused on the most used functions so it's easy to use all the applications without any training and support. There are plenty of intelligent functions to collaborate and help users do their job.

simple and fast

I dislike that if I have any internet issues my productivity can be affected as it is cloud based software and also some of the design tools are very basic.

I don't like the product segmentation i.e. if you only lack the storage space you have to upgrade your pricing plan paying for additional features you don't need. Extending storage is possible too, but the price is not attractive for small companies. However, Workspace is not an expensive service in general and offers good value for money.

Gmail and calendar apps are working separately, there is no proper sync

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.

Director of Operations

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 has a stellar reputation for a reason. The Workspace solution has all the bells and whistles needed to make collaborating across teams and departments easy. We're able to see updated information in real time and ensure everyone is working with the most up-to-date version of all internal documents, sheets, and slides. We can quickly touch base via Google Meet and the chat feature.
