What is Patronum?

Patronum takes the Google Workspace (G Suite) administrators wish-list and creates a set of features to transform the way Google Workspace users, groups and resources are managed.

Onboarding and Off-boarding users within Google Workspace can be time-consuming and costly. Patronum aims to remove this hassle, by making it easy to manage the complete user life cycle of Google Workspace users and fully automating all the administrator and user tasks to ensure an efficient, effective and secure process.

The vendor states the tool has been created with seamless integration in mind. Each user will be set up according to the company's policy, with the correct email signature, Gmail settings, including labels, filters and other settings, Google Drive files and folders, Google contacts, Google calendars, and Google Groups automatically maintained with Patronum. Patronum also provides a user-friendly Google Contact sharing option enhanced with the introduction of a Google Chrome extension and Gmail add-ons.

Patronum aims to be the must-have tool for any Google Workspace administrator.
