Overall Satisfaction with Google Domains

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Google Domains to create and manage emails for our employees. Its user interface makes it super easy and fast to do so! Also it integrates well with other Google products and that helps us a lot in our field.

Pros and Cons

Pros

UI Simplicity
Ease of use
The ability to backup your emails before deleting a certain account

Cons

The only problem with Google Domains is that you only have access to the basic domain extensions. The new, cool domains are only available on GoDaddy and other providers. Hopefully this will change soon.
Domain pricing was not the lowest on the market.

Return on Investment

Positive - the ability to set up an email in less than 5 minutes for our new employees on a tight schedule
The ability to link it with other Google apps without any manual setup
Integration with third-party apps is low to nonexistent

Alternatives Considered

GoDaddy and HostGator

Getting a domain via Google just makes more sense than any other provider. They aren't gonna bombard you with ads and try to upsell you products or services. Also, if you use G Suite it makes even more sense to choose Google Domains over any other provider because of the integration and easy billing options.

Other Software Used

UberConference, MailChimp, Join.me

Likelihood to Recommend

One huge benefit to using Google Domains is that everything can potentially and likely be linked together - mail, spreadsheets, documents, domains, etc. It is easy to find once in your account, and it's also pretty cost-effective, from what I've seen. Google Domains is definitely efficient and worth checking out. While it does not offer support for all domains, it has access to a majority of them, which is more than I can say about certain competing products.
