Overall Satisfaction with Google Workspace

The basics of course; Email, Calendar, and Contacts. We use The Drive feature for file sharing and backups of some computer files. Google Photos is a great tool for syncing and backing up photos from your mobile devices. Gemini AI has been a great resource for research and solving problems. It can save a lot of time when you're responding to emails and text questions.

Pros

  • Email spam filtering is the best thing going.
  • Gemini AI, along with its image and video tools is the best in class as well.
  • Sharing and collaborating with Drive works well and is efficient.

Cons

  • It seems like many people using Workspace aren't aware of all the features available to them with their subscription. Helping users learn to use the features would be a good idea.
  • Personally, I'm weary of all the naming changes. I wish Google would come up with a name and stick to it for a while.
  • Google Workspace has been an affordable and valuable solution for us to communicate with our customers in various ways and on their level.
  • The security of Workspace helps give us peace of mind when sharing or storing files in the cloud.
  • Google keeps adding more choices and features that help us grow in our work and personal lives.
Google Workspace does not require installation and maintenance of desktop programs and this make it quick to start or expand documents or projects. After a few minutes, most users are able to work with a multitude of apps.
Google Workspace is in a good competition with Microsoft 365 and is ahead in many areas. Although MS365 is moving in the 'cloud' direction, Google has always been 'cloud' based and is still ahead in that area. For newer, smaller companies, Workspace is a great choice. For larger and more established companies with a long history of Microsoft application use, they might find it beneficial to use the MS365 option.

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

Yes

Are you happy with Google Workspace's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Workspace live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Google Workspace go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Workspace again?

Yes

Google Workspace is ideal for small to medium businesses and remote teams that prioritize real-time cloud collaboration and strong, integrated security. It's less appropriate for organizations with a heavy reliance on specialized desktop software, strict data residency requirements, or a deep investment in legacy systems like Microsoft's ecosystem.
