Overall Satisfaction with Google Workspace for Education

Google Workspace for Education is used to manage email accounts, groups, meetings, service accounts, and devices, including Chromebooks and mobile devices. This platform enables us to enforce organizational policies, conduct e-discovery, control allowed extensions and applications, and support theft recovery.

Pros

  • Integrates their apps across their ecosystem very well
  • Regularly debuts new, useful features
  • Granular control of devices
  • Excellent security policies

Cons

  • The admin console regularly feel sluggish
  • Require third party tools to make changes to bulk devices
  • Support could be a little better
  • There has been a steady evolution of new features coming out that reduced the need for third party tools
  • We have been able to sign agreements to lock in annual renewal costs for up to 5 years
  • It's a ubiquitous platform, finding support is generally pretty easy
The platform is stable and relatively easy to use. Google Workspace for Education consolidates all of its products into a single dashboard, allowing administrators to enable or disable services and control features within each app. Although prices have increased over the years, the platform continues to offer significant value.
Ultimately, since we use Chromebooks, it did not make sense to choose Microsoft. Its price points are significantly higher, and the platform is more business-oriented than tailored to the education market.

Did implementation of Google Workspace for Education go as expected?

Would you buy Google Workspace for Education again?

Yes

In K-12 education, it's very well suited. Having a fleet of over 8,000 Chromebooks, it's very easy to push app/extensions out, review inventory and remotely deprovision devices. The platform is scalable and well suited for any organization requiring email. It's straightforward to set up, it might not be well suited for those using O365 as files can't be easily shared between platforms.
