Google Workspace Essentials vs. WordPerfect Office

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

WordPerfect itself is (IMHO) the best word processor available. Much easier to use (and I think, more intuitive) than Word. It can do things that Word struggles to do. That said, most of the world uses Word and improvements to the interchange functionality would allow it to be used in more situations. I realize that isn't easy - internally, the two products work differently and use very different data models

• Google Docs & Google Slides are essential to our company as we are remote. Multiple people can work on the documents at one time.
• Easy to share and store files in Google Drive.
• Google Calendar is amazing, it integrates seamlessly with other Google products and it's our company's primary calendar tool.

• Built-in publishing to PDF, that supports hyperlinks and watermarks.

• 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.

• it doesn't offer formatting options over the words, only in the toolbar
• track changes is compared to Word is weak

Now that our department has used G Suite Essentials for close to 2 years, I can't imagine not using it. It has proven to be a very practical tool for sharing files / folders on a shared drive. It also makes it easy to modify and update content. It is user friendly and the interface is simple.

We are married to it for life.

It works fine, few crashes.

Corel still offers support. Microsoft doesn't unless you have a paid contract. LibreOffice is all web-based. If you need support, Corel WordPerfect Office is the best option.

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.

WordPerfect Office is not a product like Blackbaud's products, but it does work very well with them. Merging documents from Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge is accomplished very easily through WordPerfect Office and allows better options in many cases than when merging with Microsoft Word. My main uses for WordPerfect Office have been in merging letters, envelopes, and labels and when searching with reveal codes for improper codes in a document.

• Not being able to record some meeting had an impact on context loss which hampers ROI
• Seamless integration has increased ROI in some cases
• Ability to not convert the office work files to MS office format properly has reduced ROI in some cases.

• My office wouldn't be able to make money at all if we didn't use WordPerfect; we use it to generate all of the documents that we use in our business. Granted, if we used Microsoft or another Office suite, we could eventually obtain the results we currently get, but we seem to have positioned our workflow around WordPerfect and to use something else would potentially hinder our productivity.
