Google Workspace provides reliable email deliverability and spam protection! Collaboration is a cinch!
Since we have moved to Google Workspace, non of those things are even a thought anymore. Email is delivered reliably and we get the same spam protection offered by Gmail. We can also setup user management for our company and our clients and we have access to all of the security features we need to prevent data loss or unauthorized data access.
- Google's service integration is seamless. Sharing files and documents with team members and clients couldn't be simpler. We can limit file sharing and access as needed.
- As expected, Google Workspace integrates perfectly with Android phones allowing for a seamless mobile experience. Integration with iOS is also good.
- Spam protection is second to none. I cannot remember ever finding a spam message in my inbox!
- Google has a good reputation for email deliverability making it less likely your outbound mail ends up in someone's spam folder.
- Google Workspace allows you to host multiple domains and alias domains on your account.
- There is a robust set of tools to allow routing of mail to different mailboxes.
- Collaboration is so easy with Workplace. Real time editing of documents is flawless. When chatting with collaborators, I can see their changes as they make them with no delay.
- Pricing is a little bit higher than other services
- The cost of each email inbox costs the same whether you want just email or all of the features. For example, we wanted a support email address that we could setup our support desk with. The cost of that added account is the same as the account I use with all of the features.
- They removed their free tier for small organizations like mine and restricted the free tier from adding new domain names. This was likely due to abuse, but everyone lost the privilege of the free service.
- Easy to share files.
- Realtime collaborations in documents.
- Can review the history in G sheets
- Data storage in cloud
- Can access data across the globe.
- Google Meet
- Google Drive
- Shared Docs
Google Workspace makes my life easier
- Share data
- Storage in the cloud
- Access data anywhere
- Integration of Google meet with Hubspot
- Contacts could be more customized
A no-brainer for mid-sized businesses
- Google Calendar...amazing. I don't need to ask team members when they're busy anymore and play this game of bouncing times back and forth. All I need to do is enter their email address and it shows my calendar and theirs side by side and then select the day and time I find that works best for the both of us.
- I actually prefer Google Meet over Zoom. Zoom bogs down my computer and I find their UI overcomplicated for what it actually does. Google Meet is simple and does practically everything Zoom does without needing to pay any extra money.
- Sheets integrates with our CRM (Copper) so it's perfect for us. Being able to export information out of our CRM into sheets and then create pivot tables from that data makes our lives a million times better.
- There's something about Google Docs that feels a bit...flat. Yes, it's a word processor so there's not much one can do but compared to Apple Pages, the aesthetic of Google's templates is very bland.
- File management is a nightmare in Google Drive. The entire flow feels clunky and it winds up causing an extreme amount of disorganization within our company.
- I do wish there were an option to download the entire Gsuite into one app, rather than having to download each program onto my mobile device. Since the Gsuite is kind of contained within one browser, the expectation is there for the apps to kind of exist all in one place. Instead, I need to switch from one app to another in order to achieve whatever needs to be done in each app.

- Better quality/application for Google Meet
Couldn't Live Without Google Workspace
- File Storage
- Email
- Document processing and sharing
- Collaborative spreadsheets
- Offering a desktop Gmail app would be the absolute biggest advancement to the suite
Google Workspace- A modern flexible workspace

Workspace is a plus for SMB businesses
- Feature releases

Google Workspace - A Workspace For the Mind(s)
- Collaboration on documents
- Communication across teams/departments
- Email provider solution
- Easy to learn
- Intuitive
- Difficult translating Excel formulas to Google Sheets
- It would be nice to have a hub for all of the programs included in Google Workspace
- It would be nice to be able to move embedded Hangouts around in the Gmail web interface
A solid choice for email, calendar, docs, files, and more.
- Email
- Calendar
- Shared docs and files
- Chat has always been sub-par. We use alternatives.
- Email host
- Calendar integration across the entire suit of apps
- Built in spell check
- email filtering
- Google Workspace is terrible if you use any Google nest deceives
- Most Nest devices will not work if you have a Google Workspace account.
- Surprisingly, Gmail UI is not the best.
- Needs improvement with organization of apps (Docs, sheets, etc)
Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) Review
- Multi user interface.
- Autosave and version history.
- Notifications
- Sheets tools were lacking in comparison to other tools.
- Government restrictive projects and lack of secure cloud locations.
It Just Works
- Sharing files. Nothing is as easy.
- Making templates-you just save them that way.
- Forms that integrate into Sheets for tracking data.
- Forms should be a bigger play in the mix.
- Ability to share files via Google Voice.
- Google Meet integration is needed.
Google Workspace: Great Value
- Collaborative working
- Intuitive interface
- Covers most aspects of remote business needs.
- Secure
- Office-like applications not up to Microsoft's level.
- Until recently, video calling was not up to level of competitors (fixed).
- Messaging application is not great.
The Ultimate Workspace
- It's terrific to have a suite of products that is built to work together, rather than having to piece tools together.
- The email and calendar are the tools I use most often together. I use Gmail through Apple Mail rather than in the browser, and it works great. Also really easy to access and use my calendar.
- I use the other suite of features both for my own company internally and to share files with clients. Super easy to use and share.
- I have several Workspace accounts, and it can be kind of annoying to switch between them. For example, if I click in my work email but my Chrome defaults to my personal Workspace, I have to open the file differently or log in and out of the other account.
- Meet is my least favorite feature. I find it very subpar to Zoom in both ease and picture resolution. It's harder to tell when you're sharing your screen and you can't see comments if you're presenting.
- Google My Business can be difficult to navigate. I frequently forget where features are and have to hunt around for them.
- 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.
