Overall Satisfaction with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)

As a one-person shop, I am the only user. I initially started using G Suite/Google Workspace when my email became unmanageable using Outlook. My website developer recommended moving to G Suite. It has simplified managing my email and has solved what had become a major problem for me, as I rely on my email, and of course, there isn't a day that goes by when I'm not using it.
  • Email management: This was the primary reason it was recommended to me. Makes a HUGE difference in how I manage my email. It also allows you to do things the free version won't.
  • Google Docs: I use these more now than I used to. It allows easy collaboration with clients.
  • Google Drive: I use this for not only docs but for sheets - which I'm using more of these days.
  • I think Google could provide more info on how to make the most of the product/app. I'm probably not doing everything I could with it to manage my business.
  • I use the very low-end version, so it works fine for what I need. I guess they could try to convince me to upgrade to the higher version, but I don't see them doing that.
  • I like the video component more than Zoom, so maybe they could market that a little more aggressively.
  • It's been a positive. Before Google Workspace, my mailbox was a behemoth. It was unmanageable. Anytime I switched to a new computer, it was a major undertaking to move my email box.
  • The email solved space issues. Because my site and email were hosted together, it was massive. I have a lot of emails. So switching to Google Workspace really helped solve this challenge.
  • It helps me be more productive, and email is vital to my business, so it's definitely had a positive impact.
My web developer recommended switching from Microsoft Outlook to Google Workspace. It was a good recommendation. Much easier to manage.

Yes

Did implementation of Google Workspace go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Workspace again?

Yes

For email management, which is the primary way I use it, I really like it. Of course, it was hard to shift from what I was using, but once I got used to using G Suite for email, I really liked it. I use it all day every workday and have no real complaints.

I think if you're looking for more than that, you would either need to look at other tools or look at the higher-end version of the G Suite/Workspace.
