Overall Satisfaction with G Suite
We use G Suite in our school district for all of our student and staff devices, since being an education environment we receive unlimited Google Drive storage and it has been an amazing solution to offer to teachers and students for backing up their data.
- G Suite has the ability to integrate with our ticketing system so all of our users can easily sign into our ticketing system with their Gmail credentials
- This year we are beginning to use lightspeed relay as our web filter and it also includes integrated login with G Suite
- The ability to change settings based on groups, for example, students in 5th grade and below have accounts but no email access. So they can use the drive but cannot send emails.
- It was difficult to get our sync with the AD set up
- It would have been nice to have automatic integration and configuration with AD
- It's not entirely user-friendly for all of our employees in our department, we had one employee accidentally add all users to a smart email group resulting in everyone in our district receiving an email that should have only gone to a few.
- Previously we had Groupwise email hosted locally and it caused us tons of problems. By switching to G Suite, our productivity was boosted and taken to an entirely new level.
- Previously, we had no cloud storage and with Google Drive and docs we can collaborate and backup our data with ease
- Our teachers and students use Docs, Sheets, and Slides for collaborating on documents, making class projects much easier
