Overall Satisfaction with Google Drive

Google Drive is our cloud storage platform for all documents across the business. It is where we can collaborate on documents, spreadsheets and presentations and share them easily with relevant people. It is also where we store historical information and it is used as an archive for documents as well.

Pros

  • Document Sharing
  • Good search function
  • Easy to access on numerous devices

Cons

  • UI could be improved
  • Too easy to share documents with incorrect access
  • File organisation is too linear
  • It has improved our ability to work globally
  • Improved collaborative working
  • Improved consistency of work
For most of it's functionality, Google Drive is very good and quite easy to use, making it an efficient and effective option for us to use. However, there are some things already mentioned that could be improved and that would make the product easy to use and navigate on a day to day basis
I think the way in which Google Drive allows collaboration on documents in a live way is far better than the way in Microsoft products do it and I find it much easier to work in a Google Drive enviroment companred to Microsoft 365 so I would always choose it over this option

Do you think Google Drive delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Google Drive's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Drive live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Google Drive go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Google Drive again?

Yes

Overall, Google Drive is well suited to businesses or varying sizes as it is allows for centralised document storage and management and also gives easy collaboration on a wide variety of documents. The user interface is pretty basic and could be improved as could the folder setup as it isn't always easy to navigate.
