Overall Satisfaction with G Suite

G Suite is being used organization-wide to store training and help information. Though the search functionality leaves something to be desired in the drive (shows archived or inactive items) in general it is a very organized and easy to navigate interface. I go straight to G Suite to create sheets or create docs for myself or to collaborate on. We actually just recently moved from Gmail to Outlook for our calendars and emails and it has been a difficult adjustment because of how intuitive Google is.
  • Organized- folders in drive are laid out in an understandable and manageable format for even those that are less tech savvy
  • Collaborative- love the systems that allow for instant sharing of documents, knowing how someone else is editing what you are working on and comments
  • Intuitive- because of its global familiarity it is easy to train others on all elements of G Suite, email, calendar, drive etc.
  • Sharing documents can sometimes lead to users not being given the correct permissions to edit or share, not the most obvious
  • I wish Drive search was a little more optimized to most recently or frequently used documents
  • Being able to easily access training information is enormously important to a team that needs to troubleshoot issues on a complex software
Outlook email is clunky and inconvenient. I hate that it has a desktop app and an online site and there are such annoying specifications for how to access both, and sometimes they show separate information. Calendar invites are still a mystery and generally cause confusion. I wish I could go back!
I would definitely recommend for use in an environment where not everyone is super tech savvy. It is incredibly intuitive and easy to learn and most people aren't scared away by Google like they would be other software. Google does it right with so many things and this is definitely one of them.
