A strong contender
- Video meetings and collaboration for teams
- Quickly searchable document folders (team drives etc) which can reduce the need for traditional file shares
- Robust and broadly supported email
- Best in class multi user document collaboration
- More granular security controls
- More robust DLP
While still useful for larger enterprises, existing larger orgs may find it challenging to migrate to a new solution, particularly if you are a Microsoft-heavy org. Office365 has less barrier to entry for these orgs due to app familiarity of Office, Excel etc. While Google have good alternatives in Docs, Sheets, Slides etc re-training of employees is required and it would be a cultural shift.
- Google Meet (video calls)
- Google Apps (Docs, Sheets, Slides)
- Email
- Real-time collaboration on documents led to less back and forth with revisions and email, improving timeliness and reducing clutter of old versions etc
- Less time spent managing software and licensing - the system is seamlessly updated on a regular basis and allows for simple user administration
- Savings in reduced licenses for other productivity software
- Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
0365 has slightly more granular administration and compliance features and slightly lower barrier to entry for existing orgs that are already heavy users of Microsoft products. I think it is likely to be a better fit for larger organizations.

G Suite is so sweet!
- It’s an incredibly efficient way to create and update documents, spreadsheets, forms, and more.
- Staying organIzed across an organization is easy with G Suite, as it allows access to the most up to date version of any document, detailed sharing capabilities (public and private) and integrates with countless other platforms.
- Gmail is by far the best email platform to work with due to its countless built in features and add-ons as well as its simple access to everything within your Google Drive.
- Google Forms could be more robust and allow for more customization. While there are other companies that do forms better, the benefit of G Suite is having everything in one place and it would be great if the forms could be more complex.
- Google Voice is limiting, and while it is a great feature to have, the ability to add only one masked phone number per cell phone is challenging for people who work for multiple companies like myself.
- I wish Gmail had more customization options for managing my Inbox. Since I receive emails form various incoming mailboxes (info@, support@, name@, etc), it would be nice to have those go to custom tabs in place of the uncustomizable “Social” and “Promotions”.
- G Suite is lacking in any project management features. While it does have Google Keep for list making, that is incredibly limited and doesn’t allow for due dates to be set for tasks.
- G Suite has enabled our organization and efficiently to be taken up a notch, by ensuring everyone within the company has access to the most accurate information quickly.
- It has made it easy to gather information from clients (Forms) as well as share public documents (privacy/sharing settings), which has saved the company money on other software.
- We have also saved money on call forwarding software by using Google Voice.
- Switching from Dropbox to Google Drive for storage saved us countless hours (and therefore labor costs) on asking for and waiting for verification something was the most up to date, finding documents, reviewing revisions, creating quick assigned tasks right within a document, etc.
- Dropbox and MS SharePoint
- Cloud storage, document organization
- Email
- Gathering outside information in Forms
- We’ve used other software that integrates with G Suite to quickly see real-time information in one place. From event attendee lists to mailing list subscribers we’ve synced outside software to various Google Sheets to make the info easy for everyone to view.
- There are less obvious features in G Suite that we could likely use to make our processes even more robust and efficient. Features we don’t use much or at all are Jamboard, Slides, and Forms, all of which could be helpful to our teams.
- Real time collaboration on documents or spreadsheets.
- Creating and managing a form and it’s responses.
- Managing and customizing email.
- Sharing documents and spreadsheets internally or publicly.
- Reviewing revisions to documents and spreadsheets can be a little confusing to understand at first.
- Remembering to share or unshare particular documents or spreadsheets as they are created can take some practice.
