Overall Satisfaction with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)

It is currently being used across the org. We just got acquired by LeanIX, so we are in the process of moving to Microsoft Office. But my team is still using Google Workspace for the time being. Google Workspace was our main organization/ communication tool that is essential for email, calendar, sheets and docs.
  • Calendar usability - after being able to compare it with outlook, the functionality and smoothness of the google calendar is much better.
  • Email organization - email is easy and simple to use. It is also easy to customize to my liking.
  • Google sheets is more user friendly than Microsoft Excel - it simplifies terms and makes navigation easier.
  • When someone forwards me an email thread, those are pretty hard to decipher because of the way the emails are displayed. This could be improved.
  • Email.
  • Calendar.
  • Sheets/docs.
  • Has served as our main email - integrates well with Outreach to run our outbound sales campaigns.
  • Shared docs/sheets allowed us to collaborate often and share ideas on how to drive business.
Microsoft Office 365 - I like Google better because of the overall usability and simpler interface. This was made most apparent for me when I compared the calendars - Outlook calendar is not as user friendly as Google. Google makes navigation, events, reminders etc. easier to use. One thing that Outlook does have on Google is the mobile app is a bit better - it displays email and calendar in one interface which I like.

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?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Google Workspace go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Google Workspace again?

Yes

It is well suited for any smaller company needing a suite of communication and collaboration tools. It makes sharing and collaborating with peers across platforms easy. It was perfect for our company's needs. I have heard that moving to Outlook is more of a mature move for a larger company, but honestly I think Google Workspace would function just as well if not better at the enterprise level.
