Considered Both Products	Google Alvaro Satrustegui President and CEO in Corporate at EXSEL UNDERWRITING AGENCY SL (Insurance, 1-10 employees) Chose Google Workspace G Suite has more tools than Office 365. G Suite integrates better with other Apps. Office has better text writer and spreadsheet tools. The email tool is still better in G Suite and it has no limitations on space. File storing is also better in G Suite as it has unlimited space. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Workspace Google offers a free version of Google Workspace for non-profits. So the price was pretty hard to beat. Of cloud based office communications platforms, Google offers a robust variety of tools. I find that I can trust the reliability of Google and did not have to worry about too … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Omondi Customer Support in Customer Service at waba.co.ke (Consumer Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Google Workspace Compared to these other office solutions, G Suite comes out as a mid-level application.

Yes it has similar features, but there … Incentivized Helpful? Glen Mehn Head of Development Innovation in Professional Services at Nesta (Non-Profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Google Workspace Fairly bad experience with office email previously. Browser-based office apps didn't seem to work as well as google versions. Wasn't (isn't) perfect but mostly does the job. Incentivized Helpful?	The Document Foundation Karambir Singh Khalsa Chief Executive Officer in Corporate at Gong Tones, Incorporated (Non-profit Organization Management, 1-10 employees) Chose LibreOffice Google does not offer equivalent desktop applications. Microsoft's nonprofit licensing is too complicated and their support is not really supportive of such a small organization as ours. Incentivized Helpful? Christopher Boyd Freelance Web and Software Developer in Information Technology at Cre8tiveCoder (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose LibreOffice As noted previously, LibreOffice blows Google Docs (G Suite) out of the water in terms of singular application quality, and comes close but misses the mark as a drop-in replacement to Microsoft Office. We currently are evaluating the latest release of LibreOffice to see if we … Incentivized Helpful?
