Compared to Microsoft SharePoint, the interface and learning curve for Google Drive are better mainly because the solution is much simpler and focuses on doing the basics well.
They can all do the basics equally well, storing and sharing documents. Google Drive is the best from an ease of use perspective. SharePoint is a little better in terms of user management. Dropbox has the best name recognition, but not all the features you will need. If you …
Google Drive and Box are extremely similar in functionality, the primary differences being aesthetic (Google is more user friendly, Box's UI design is a little less intuitive) and with regards to security (Box offers an enhanced level of protection commensurate with it's …

Chose Google Drive
Google Drive is better because it has its own suite of product features so it's simple and easy to use. It also allows multiple people to edit at once, whereas for other products (i.e. SharePoint) you have to "check" the document out for a single person's use.
i have been using google drive from 2012 and found the ease of use of it better than others. Even though I use Dropbox and OneDrive for work on some aspects mostly I prefer google drive for my work and personal.
Prior to adopting MS SharePoint, our team used Google Drive. I think MS SharePoint has made big gains in recent years and now offers essentially the same functionality and services as Google Drive does with added functionality. While Google Drive allows individuals and …
MS SharePoint offers far more beyond just document sharing like Google Drive or Dropbox. It allows our company to collaboate and complete tasks in a timely manner. It is a more robust solution and offers better security, customization, and scalability than other solutions.
SharePoint has more features than Google Drive, but is not free. It has the ability to present full web pages, which Google Drive does not have. It also has integration into Microsoft 365, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Outlook which are strong product lines for business. Googl…
MS SharePoint's seamless integration with OneDrive makes it the hands-down winner over Google Drive. Although Google Drive is a fantastic tool, not being fully integrated with the MS Office Suite makes it less appealing for a large corporate storage solution.
I think that Google Drive is much faster and more efficient than working in SharePoint. I understand that the benefit of using SharePoint is the integration of other MS tools such as Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc. However, these tools all work more efficiently offline rather …
For my time\money, Google Drive is an infinitely better investment than SharePoint, including in a business setting. Although it may not integrate with existing infrastructure (e.g. Active Directory) as well as SharePoint, Google Drive is much more efficient and effective for …
I have only used Google Drive for personal reasons, not at work. SharePoint has a larger corporation safer feel to it as it uses the comfort of MS Office products for users.
We still have Confluence and Google Drive, but we wanted a product that could provide document security and a single point of access that easily integrated into our active directory. Since we use this for our intranet site, we found the features easier to stand up and the UI …
MS SharePoint lags behind its competitors in most areas. While it does offer more functionality, such as custom sites, MS SharePoint's bogged-down sharing system really hurts it. While sharing documents with coworkers, outside contractors, and guests is hassle-free with Google …
I like Microsoft SharePoint over Google Drive for its organization. I believe that Microsoft SharePoint keeps things much more organized than Google Drive. Also, typically when you purchase Microsoft SharePoint, you get the rest of the Microsoft Suite. However, Google Drive has …
Since Microsoft SharePoint comes with the MS business office package, it is fully integrated with other office products and really works together with other MS Office products like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, Publisher, etc.. in real-time, so it's really easy to maintain …
SharePoint was selected primarily because of its inherent integration with MS Office. The other tools were easier to use and easier to set up, but not selected because they were a third-party integration with Office.
I think that MS SharePoint is a more robust and well integrated tool than other products. Because it lives in the Microsoft universe it likely integrates to the other software products you already have very easily. Most users will not have trouble adopting it as the UI is …
OneDrive focuses mainly on being a repository in the cloud, but where the administrator of this information is usually the person who owns the site or the account where the information is stored. Unlike Sharepoint that allows generating groups of administrators, users and …
We chose SPO because of the integration with O365 and Office Apps. Single sign on and it being included in our O365 plan and license made implementation easy. Plus, Microsoft Teams now integrates with SPO team sites which made more sense for us to continue down this path …
I think SharePoint has been around the longest, at least it's the first cloud-based collaboration tool I used many years ago. It has a very Microsoft feel which has its perks and drawbacks. Reminds me of when I used Microsoft mobile OS and how it felt like Windows on a phone. …
Being integrated into Office 365 and included with your subscription, there are no added costs associated with setting up SharePoint. Also being able to sync one drive and being able to open files SharePoint files via file explorer is a great added benefit.
Based on what was recommended by the normal people in the company actually using the Intranet, a MS Sharepoint solution was not the recommended solution, but rather a WordPress solution. This solution was much easier to build and setup, but expensive consultants convinced the …
MS SharePoint is a better option for our team as we use Office 365 across our organization. It allows us some integration, and was a more familiar interface for many of the users on our team. It met our security needs and standards for our parent company as well.
MS SharePoint had great Microsoft product integration compared to other services, and was a more complete enterprise package. We didn't evaluate many other services, as SharePoint's integration into other basic office programs was more valuable than saving a little bit or …
As an alternate collaboration toot one can use Skype with its screen sharing functionality and it also provides the ability to hand over control to another user although we have not used this functionality. However, it does seem that TeamViewer is more aimed towards a host …
TeamViewer better at centrally managing lots of workstations and devices, but not as straightforward as Zoom for client customer support. Most of our clients (who are less technically proficient) use Zoom regularly so it was easier to support them on an individual basis than …
I find that TeamViewer is easy to install and set up on most devices. It is free (for personal use) which gives it an edge over Apple Remote Desktop. It is also available to access Windows and Mac computers which is an edge over Apple Remote Desktop. Chrome Remote Desktop …
TeamViewer is easier to use and has more flexibility than other existing software. I can even access my microscope computer in the laboratory from home and control the microscope remotely when I run time-series experiments. During online meetings also getting access to a common …
All these solutions are great in any way for remote support, however (with exception to Zoom) they all lack TeamViewer collaborative features such as video conferencing and remote live interaction via phone, video and/or chat, and event recording. Being Zoom the prime contender …
The commercial price is expensive for TeamViewer than GoToMyPC & VNC. Also, Teamviewer updates are very constant, sometimes up to twice or thrice a year, which makes it expensive because it forces you to buy a license.
If we ignore the cost part, Overall TeamViewer is really the …
We looked at a few free sharing applications and also a few paid ones and this one was the best for the buck. We did a 30-day trial to start and then purchased it once we saw the value of the program. We use it every day in most troubleshooting cases and also in our …
Join.me and Webex allow for remote desktop sharing, but typically for meetings or instances. They do not offer the constant connection that teamviewer does. The user must be on the computer and type in the code provided by the remote user. The unlimited personal trial nature of …
It is possible to share files and folders with up to 200 email addresses, as well as with persons outside the company.Use the drop-down arrow to select who may see, comment on, or change the file or folder before sending out an invitation.I am very much impressed with this feature
SharePoint Document Management excels as a central repository for storing, organising, and retrieving documents. It supports version control, metadata tagging, secure access, and integration with tools like Power Automate. At our organisation, it's used for managing contracts, policies, and supplier documents. SharePoint Workflow Automation integrates with Power Automate to streamline approvals, gather feedback, and automate recurring tasks. This reduces reliance on email chains and manual trackers.
I think it works well for IT management and help desk support of end users. I find it very useful to help users and send files to their desktop. Remote Workers still run into some problems with MFA and updates, both to the TV Host app and OS updates. However, it does give us secure direct access without the need of a VPN.
Any user with access can store a file using different platforms like Android, IOS, Windows, or Ubuntu (Desktop version)
You can share files with any number of different users with different access rights or you can even keep it public by providing the access link and assign different rights for public access
You can open Excel/Word files using google software Sheets/Docs in the browser environment without having to install software like Microsoft Office etc on your Windows OS
Having a little bit more control and clarity over what is shared and how it is shared would be a useful improvement.
Could be more robust and flexible as far as assigning restrictions.
Google Sheets could be enhanced because Excel really is not there yet as a product with equal capabilities as there are still quite a few limitations to the functionality.
Windows Explorer users have some difficulty having to constantly UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD files. Specifically on the DOWNLOAD when they are used to Drag & Drop in & out of LOCAL folders via Window's explorer.
Microsoft SharePoint supports multiple "library" types. When implementing our "image" library the search function is done via "tags" and boolean logic. This is challenging to most end users. I'd like our users to be able to search our Microsoft SharePoint image library without having to enter KEYWORD or other BOOLEAN logic.
Microsoft SharePoint can also be an internal website for each department or company wide communication tool but I believe these features are geared for much larger organizations. Since we are a SMB we really aren't using these features. So maybe something more useful to SMBs would be nice.
With an iPad, you can't take control of the device, so you have to tell someone what to do. Which can be a challenge because the end user doesn't know what to do
With the free version of TeamViewer you cant enter Admin credentials because TeamViewer blocks the windows to fill in the credentials
The free version can be really limited which can be putting off people because they don't see the full potential of TeamViewer
It's perfect for me. It keeps things saved and is easy to remove items if needed. Also, I very much enjoy the formatting options. Along with the integrations it has for SSO. Overall, this is the most user friendly system I have ever come across.
It's integral to our business. It's already included with most of the Office 365 licensing we buy, so the cost is effectively zero. It stores our files, it is the foundation for custom applications, and Microsoft only continues to enhance its functionality and its connections to other Microsoft tools. SharePoint just keeps getting better and better.
We need this tool in our day to day business. It is what we do all day remoting into clients devices. In this day and age we can access devices all over the world as long as we have secure internet connection. It certainly saves money in gas, and even if you are away you can help.
It's easy enough to use for computer users of all ages and skill levels. I am an advanced user, and I think the hardest part might be showing someone how to download and set up the app on their device if they weren't too familiar with computers, but overall it is very easy to understand.
No usability issues reported. Individual teams also have allocated areas which replace legacy shared drives on local LANs. Access to Sharepoint resources is fully integrated with corporate Active Directory with additional two-factor authentication required for administrative users. Users have access to Microsoft Services Hub which allows you to create, manage, and track support requests while staying current on Microsoft technologies with access to select self-paced learning paths
TeamViewer is a reliable and really strong tool for accessing remote IT platforms secure and fast. We don't know any product that provide us such strong functionality to make our life as a internationally recognized MES provider with DIAMES with an international clientele so easy. We look forward for any new TeamViewer functionality that supports us even more.
The documents load fairly quickly and also update in real time, especially given the fact that multiple people can be using it at once. The "Offline" feature works great to allow the user to make edits and access the document without access to the internet, and then sync changes later once they're back.
It takes a few days for customer support to get back to you. Although, I have not had to use support too often. Once you get an email back, they are very thorough and work hard to fix the problem quickly. It is a really great resource and a great way to get the help you need if you're stuck. A phone call also works quickly but you have to call during specific times.
the few times i have had to contact teamviewer support, they were very responsive and give me quick answers and seemed to understand my problems quickly and easily. I did not have to sit on the phone for hours on hold or get passed around to multiple phone support techs before finding a solution to my issues, so i would rate their support very highly.
The effective google workspace using training that my organization received and was conducted by me (as a team lead of the ICT team) was mind-blowing and as a result, our staff is performing well in terms of using the application for their daily jobs than before. Now, in my institution, all teachers and all the administrative personnel are very much interested in cloud storage facilities, in previous my institution was afraid of losing all important documents in the cloud storage. But, after having received the training they are now realized that if anyone has only one google account then he or she can use 15GB of cloud storage freely and they are now happy because now it is not necessary for anyone to carry the traditional pen drive.
The face to face training I received was on SharePoint Administration. It was rushed as there was a lot of information to cover and the application of the labs weren't that great either. I like to be able to relate what I am learning to what I am currently doing.
As expected without any problem! Alternate in-person training is another efficient way to learn how a product works. There are many third party supporters for TeamViewer courses available that can give additional ideas how to use TeamViewer for specific functions and features as we did require in respect of our usage.
I like to learn at my own pace and online training allows for that. Additionally, you can skip through pieces of content that you already know or are already comfortable with. Microsoft actually offers great videos on their website for basic fundamental SharePoint Training. I have used these training videos in some of my own training sessions with end users.
I have never used the online training either. I have watched a few informational videos that were helpful when learning how to do a specific procedure within TeamViewer and get the most out of the software by utilizing one of the many features that are available with the software. Again, 5 if for neutral.
It's an extremely easy software to implement, once you sign up for a google account you automatically have access to google drive with a set amount of storage space. The business or Google Suite accounts have more storage space than a regular free account, but setting up and accessing google drive is very easy in both cases
TeamViewer installation and deployment to other devices is pretty straightforward and does not require much technical know-how. This makes ease of use attractive when supporting both new and existing clients with limited technical knowledge. I think ease of use is a huge factor in getting new clients. TeamViewer handles that extremely well.
In short, Google Drive is better for independent users who store a normal amount of stuff. OneDrive makes more sense for businesses and teams that are doing heavy-duty storage or large-scale syncing. Realistically, though, most users will fall somewhere in between the two, where either platform would meet their needs.
The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the content and better indexing and searching capabilities.
TeamViewer's cost is much lower than that of other solutions, and its security is far superior to RemotePC's. TeamViewer is also a request-based remote session manager, unlike other software that allows indefinite connection time. TeamViewer's free version makes it even better for one end of the group to find support, while the other end has the paid version.
