Overall Satisfaction with Google Workspace Essentials (formerly G Suite Essentials)
It has worked well for us through the years. Recently, in my experience, we have had more and more issues syncing between users and integrating with other products. Now it appears the platform is going to be subscription only. We will not be continuing to use, in my opinion, a lesser product AND pay more. Until the past year or two, I have been a HUGE fan of Google Workspace Essentials. I would have highly recommended it until recently.

We have started to use Smokeball Legal Software as opposed to Google for many of our chat and calendar services. It's more functional, secure, and has less downtime. We had hoped for Google integration, but it does not appear that is coming, so unfrankly, we have to move on to something that better suits the needs of our law firm.
