    My overall experience with Google Workspace Is a pleasant one. Especially the ease of use to create emails and to bring other team members on task. I also like the access of the Google apps, the Google Store, and the Google Market I feel that those Integrations are smooth

    Pros

    One of my favorite features about Google workspace was the ability to easily create other emails for other members on your team. You have a lot of control Of the permissions that you assigned to your teammates in addition to the easy integration of other Google applications at your fingertips. Teammates could also create other email accounts for new teammates. The main administrator would not always have to be in the office creating other emails for new team members so this saved a lot of time!

    Cons

    Whenever I needed to switch between different Administration profiles and different security passwords It was a bit troublesome and it was not that user friendly. In fact it is a bit clunky and I feel that it should be an easier experience. I feel that the double triple security measures that Google uses for passwords between accounts and its users is way over the top. There have been times where I've been asked for my state ID when the password was correct! These kinds of methods slow things down a lot amongst the administrators and staff when we're trying to get projects done. They have to find another way to implement security that does not make the user feel overwhelmed yet it is efficient enough to keep hackers out.

    It sucked! Navigation was circular, I spent hours trying to sign a BAA, with no success.

    Pros

    When it worked, it was easy to access the drive.

    Cons

    It was discontinued after the trial period, although I am still being charged for the service I don't have. There is no way to contact customer service, so my only recourse is to challenge the charge on my card each time it comes up.

    After using Google Workspace for more than 2 years, I felt satisfied about the product that the company introduced. I would like to use that again when building other organization or when joining another organization that uses Workspace.

    Pros

    I find Google Workspace to be very helpful for smaller organizations willing to open their business. What I like about the tool is its simplicity of the feature usages, including Gmail, Calendar and Meet.

    Cons

    While I don't find the strong negative, I would like to see more implementation to the Google Workspace, which may pertain to additional admin control to the users.
