Considered Both Products	Google Wen Sheng Lim Manager (Tech Support) / End User Services Architect in Information Technology at NTUC Fairprice Co-operative Ltd (Retail, 10,001+ employees) Chose Google Workspace In terms of collaboration, I personally think that using Google Suite is better but in terms of office productivity tools, Microsoft Office is still the widely and commonly use office productivity tool. The good part about Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Slides allow users … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Workspace The closest comparison to G Suite, specifically Drive, is Dropbox and Sharepoint. Sharepont is clunky and hard to use, and ended up costing us more time trying to use it then it saved us. While Dropbox was much better, it had a higher cost and less features than G Suite, and … Incentivized Helpful? Gabriel Chiararia Analytics VP of MBA Student-run Company in Marketing at Brigham Young University Marriott School of Business (Consumer Electronics, 201-500 employees) Chose Google Workspace It is the most intuitive and user-friendly tool vs. its competitors. It is likely to be cheapest since it lacks some important features. I'd say that is far better than MS SharePoint and Office 365. But if you use a desktop version of Office, then you are far more capable than … Incentivized Helpful? Sayle Atkinson Customer Success Manager in Corporate at Lithium Technologies (Computer Software, 501-1000 employees) Chose Google Workspace Looker is the best but too expensive. Zoho is not as easy to use as G suite in my opinion. Incentivized Helpful? Jason Ramsland Attorney in Legal at Ball Eggleston PC (Law Practice, 11-50 employees) Chose Google Workspace I am very confident that G Suite stacks up well except that folks are simply too used to Word, Excel, and more particularly, Outlook and Exchange email. But for those things and the addiction of the older generation to them, we'd still be using G Suite. Incentivized Helpful? Allison Boyce Director Talent Acquisition - Industries, Strategy and Cloud Architecture in Human Resources at Clarity Insights (Information Technology and Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Google Workspace Office 365 was definitely not the same as the standalone PC products. I was not involved in the evaluation or selection of G Suite so I can't comment on whether there was a comparable suite. I do know we have a strong Bay Area - Northern California presence and it seems like … Incentivized Helpful?	Microsoft Verified User Chose SharePoint From what I have seen, Google Workspace seems to get the balance better. I think both tech giants are in a position to be indifferent to end user experience. Incentivized Helpful? Adam Litvack Vice President, eCommerce in Information Technology at Bagatelle International (Apparel & Fashion, 51-200 employees) Chose SharePoint We found that Google Docs was basically much more user-friendly that MS SharePoint, but was much more consumer-focused (which was a good thing from a usability point of view). However, its features were not robust enough for full business implementation. We all use Outlook and … Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Deakyne Academic Services Manager in Information Technology at The University of Kansas (Higher Education, 10,001+ employees) Chose SharePoint While SharePoint isn't as easy to use as Igloo or Squarespace, it comes bundled with Office 365 and drives the backend of those tools. I don't see SharePoint as a place people want to go and see stuff, but rather as a glue that supports all the other Office Products. If we … Incentivized Helpful?
