Overall Satisfaction with G Suite
G Suite is used by our entire company as the primary email and document creation software. It has taken the place of other, more expensive products like Microsoft and also allows us to break away from using Apple products which was our primary go-to before we started using the G Suite tools.
- G Suite lets you manage your users in a robust and easy to understand fashion. Some of the tools they offer have a steeper learning curve but nothing that isn't easy to understand fairly quickly.
- G Suite gives you fairly robust options when it comes to creating documents of all kinds. It doesn't have all the tools available in software like Microsoft suite but it's close. It is also much more universal in its capability than native Apple products.
- G Suite allows a plethora of third party app integrations which come in handy, especially things like Draw.io and others. Very useful for creating flow charts and presentations.
- G Suite does not always have the same functionality in it as things like Excel, however it is close. Anyone who is familiar with Excel should be able to use Google sheets with no trouble.
- G Suite sometimes doesn't transfer things perfectly, like PDF's into document format. It could be a bit better.
- Sometimes the differences in email addresses compared to aliases and groups wasn't as easy to comprehend when I first started using the program but things have gotten clearer over time.
- G Suite has allowed our young organization to have tools that help us look as professional as possible while not costing us an arm and a leg while doing it. It's really helped us save money.
- G Suite has been a great alternative to native Apple tools since we are a Mac environment organization. Mac tools haven't been all that great and aren't very compatible with other systems. G Suite fixed that.
- G Suite has been a good way for us to collaborate on documents across the organization, allowed our sales people to create great presentations and also let us control our email and documents in a way we never could before, without breaking the bank to do it.
G Suite is a much more cost efficient way of managing email and documents for a small organization than any other tools we've worked with. A far more robust and diverse option than most and also one that has been financially feasible for us in our cash starved environment as most startups are.
