User Testimonials
	Google Workspace Essentials	Pagecloud
Likelihood to Recommend	Google I will state this with 2 basic examples, When I require documentation to be edited by many editors then Google workspace is the way to go. It provides the best synching capabilities and also sharing capabilities. In case of meeting conduction through google meet a notes section would be awesome for personal notes and the capability to record the meetings would also help a ton to improve the productivity of all users Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Pagecloud No answers on this topic
Pros	Google Google Docs & Google Slides are essential to our company as we are remote. Multiple people can work on the documents at one time. Easy to share and store files in Google Drive. Google Calendar is amazing, it integrates seamlessly with other Google products and it's our company's primary calendar tool.

Cons	Google I'd love to see a formal integration of an Airtable-like program that expands on something like Sheets to really make project management extremely efficient and robust. I think it would be useful if public-facing pieces like Google Forms were more customizable to our org's brand. Creating some sort of easy-to-manage/integrated CRM, donor management, and marketing software would really change the game.

Likelihood to Renew	Google Now that our department has used G Suite Essentials for close to 2 years, I can't imagine not using it. It has proven to be a very practical tool for sharing files / folders on a shared drive. It also makes it easy to modify and update content. It is user friendly and the interface is simple.

Usability	Google Google Workspace is very easy to use. Even the advanced features are also rendered with an intuitive user interface. Opting into new features is easy, with a clear indication of whether they cost extra or free. Communications about new features as well as security threats are easy to understand and follow up on.

Alternatives Considered	Google Google Workspace Essentials is more robust than Dropbox with the other features that are available. Google Workspace Essentials is very comparable to Microsoft 365, and we ultimately went with Google because at the time, it was free/priced better than MS, and now we have lots of legacy files already stored on Google servers, so a switch would be too time-consuming. We went with Google Workspace Essentials over OpenOffice because of the email features of using Google.

Return on Investment	Google Not being able to record some meeting had an impact on context loss which hampers ROI Seamless integration has increased ROI in some cases Ability to not convert the office work files to MS office format properly has reduced ROI in some cases.
