Google Workspace for Education Standard

Overall Satisfaction with Google Workspace for Education

We use Google Workspace for Education as our default for cloud storage, email back end, and browsing (via Chrome). The school has moved to using the Google Suite for docs, presentations, and spreadsheets. The problem that this solves is that it unifies the way the school manages content. Allowing staff to collaborate on documents saves time in knowledge transfer.

  • Unifying document management has saved time for people to find what they need.
  • Collaboration abilities across the suite allow for streamlined workflows.
  • The ever-expanding toolset within the ecosystem allows for dynamic shifts in the way organisations can manage their digital footprint.
Google has a simpler approach to its apps. With all applications being online, things like auto-save being a default have been helpful for many staff in our organisation. Compare this to Microsoft where much of the admin has to be managed by the ICT Team, Google allows for a portion of control to the user to manage permissions of areas. This type of user empowerment helps people see how important ICT is to a business.

Google Workspace is great for organisations that have a need to unify their digital foot print. Google offers so many tools that the ecosystem supports any type of business. Apps like Docs are simple, but paid with collaboration can change an organisation. Where it is less appropriate, is if you have staff that are not self sufficient. Things like setting up an out of office response. In other systems, ICT can do this for you. Under Google they empower the user to do this. If they forget, there is no way for an ICT Admin to do this.
