Overall Satisfaction with Google Workspace for Education

We use Google Workspace for Education to host our email and file storage. There is major upside to not having to manage a mail server. The scope of our use case is over one thousnad users. The business problems it solves are numerous. Mostly not maintaing an Exchange server. Users are familliar with the interface. This limits the amount of training we have to perform.

Pros

  • Ease of mailbox managemnt.
  • Easy for users to adapt to.
  • Simple from an administrative standpoint.

Cons

  • Better management if spam.
  • Imporved recognition of phishing scams
  • Admin dashboard can be somewhat confusing.
  • It's far less expensive than comparable competitors.
  • We are saving 50% compaed to othere options.
  • Users understand how to use it reducing training costs.
Sometimes the producti can be tricky to use. I've managed several Exchanges servers in the past. Google Workspace for Education is better and easier to manage. The easy accessibility of our data is a big plus as well.
  • Microsoft 365
Google Workspace for Education compares favorably due to its strong security, free Fundamentals tier, and integrated tools like Classroom, though it may lack the advanced features of desktop applications like Microsoft Office. A common reason for selection is its AI-driven learning tools, robust security with controls for student protection, and the scalability it offers through its cloud-based infrastructure.
