Overall Satisfaction with G Suite
In education at the high school level, we use G Suite pretty extensively (although we incorporate a variety of other tools as well) inside the 1:1 classroom. G Suite Apps have opened the door to more seamless technology integration in our district while also increasing teacher feedback, collaboration, and productivity. Our students use G Suite for a variety of things, especially when group collaboration is at the helm including lab reports, presentations, data analysis, etc. Our teachers use Google for most of their practices now, including ways to make their content more interactive and engaging such as digital playlists with Google Sites. This has made our teachers more productive while also removing the need for physical paper.

Microsoft does a nice job and was the go-to for businesses. However, Google's emergence over the years has simply taken over and become the dominant suite in education. Although Microsoft is trying to keep up, the fluidity with which Google Suite works means users can share and collaborate in real-time. That has yet to be matched.
