Google Workspace Essentials vs. Page Penguin

I will state this with 2 basic examples, When I require documentation to be edited by many editors then Google workspace is the way to go. It provides the best synching capabilities and also sharing capabilities. In case of meeting conduction through google meet a notes section would be awesome for personal notes and the capability to record the meetings would also help a ton to improve the productivity of all users

• Google Docs & Google Slides are essential to our company as we are remote. Multiple people can work on the documents at one time.

• I'd love to see a formal integration of an Airtable-like program that expands on something like Sheets to really make project management extremely efficient and robust.
• I think it would be useful if public-facing pieces like Google Forms were more customizable to our org's brand.
• Creating some sort of easy-to-manage/integrated CRM, donor management, and marketing software would really change the game.

Google Workspace Essentials is more robust than Dropbox with the other features that are available. Google Workspace Essentials is very comparable to Microsoft 365, and we ultimately went with Google because at the time, it was free/priced better than MS, and now we have lots of legacy files already stored on Google servers, so a switch would be too time-consuming. We went with Google Workspace Essentials over OpenOffice because of the email features of using Google.
