    My experience has been great since the beginning, given the easy learning curve provided. With it, I am able to leverage it to collaborate with my colleagues, sharing information easily and crucially be capable of working from everywhere in the world with zero problems.

    Pros

    GW is a great solution for every company. With GW users can work from everywhere and from multiple machines by easily collaborating on files.
    It is a great tool to streamline work.

    Cons

    It is still not considered as professional as alternatives provided by Microsoft which offer way more customisations.

    After 10 Years, Still Happy with Google Workspace

    I use Google Workspace to control multiple email accounts, due to the different functions in my job. I can't imagine doing the same thing with paper mail and physical filing cabinets. When I need to find something, it's easy to find and continue with whatever needs to be done with that item.

    Pros

    I've been using the product (even though the name has changed) for about ten years. The different functions are readily available on sidebars or in menus and are easy to find and consistent, as to their placement and descriptive icons. Now, as I discover new ways to use different features, it makes noticeable improvements in my productivity, particularly, in being able to control exactly, how my email works, as far as organization, placement, specific filters, etc.

    Cons

    It would be nice if the archiving function worked differently. If we could sort by several parameters and move all of the results to a specific archive folder, that would not be part of the original email account.

    Overall, my experience was just ok. Using it for my small business works because it's low cost and I don't need a lot of bells and whistles.

    Pros

    I like that I can use Google Workspace from anywhere and it integrates with my Gmail.

    Cons

    From someone who came from Microsoft 365, Google Workspace seemed more limited in its capabilities.

    My overall experience with Google Workspace has been very positive. The seamless integration across the suite, combined with powerful collaboration tools and syncing capabilities, makes it an excellent choice for both individual and team projects. The AI tools in Google Sheets and the ability to work seamlessly with Google Calendar further enhance productivity. Despite a few minor drawbacks, Google Workspace has become an essential part of my workflow.

    Pros

    What I like most about Google Workspace is how intuitive and user-friendly it is, making the transition from Microsoft Office to Google Docs and Google Sheets incredibly smooth. The integration with Google Drive is outstanding, allowing all my files to be easily accessible and shareable across the platform. I also appreciate the AI assistance in Google Sheets, which streamlines data handling and analysis. The ability to sync everything with Google Calendar and collaborate in real-time with colleagues is a significant advantage, enhancing productivity and teamwork.

    Cons

    The downside is that sometimes there are formatting issues when importing files from other platforms, which can be a bit frustrating. Additionally, the customization options for headers, footers, and some document settings are somewhat limited compared to other software. These are minor issues, though, considering the overall functionality.

    Google Workspace has become an indispensable component of our workflow, allowing us to more effectively manage our brand strategy and maintain the productivity and connectivity of our team, regardless of their location.

    Pros

    The implementation of Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides has revolutionized the way my team collaborates on projects, particularly when collaborating with numerous stakeholders. This capability substantially improves productivity by enabling us to track changes, maintain version control, and edit documents in real-time.
    The cloud-based access and intuitive interface of Google Workspace enable my team to work from any location, thereby facilitating remote collaboration that is equally effective as in-person collaboration.

    Cons

    Although the platform provides exceptional collaboration tools, the inability to customize specific features to more closely align with our branding requirements, such as branded document layouts or customized email templates, was a source of frustration.
