Also solid solution for HIPAA compliance once BAA is signed. > > **Cons**: Simple to set up out of the box, but some advanced features and customizing require a tech brain to understand. > > Couldn't imagine doing business without it\! It's used daily by every single member of our team, often in multiple ways. ----- ### "Powerful suite that simplifies collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *3 February 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, and Meet together create a unified ecosystem with an intuitive and familiar interface making it a good choice for using with non-technical teams. > > **Cons**: Offline functionality is limited; if internet connectivity drops, certain apps lose functionality, which can slow work during travel or weak connections. Some advanced spreadsheet functions don’t translate as cleanly from Microsoft Office files, leading to occasional errors when importing and exporting documents. > > My experience with Google Workspace has been largely positive. It streamlines communication, and reduces dependency on multiple apps. While not perfect, especially if you require deep offline support or advanced document functions like Excel macros, it serves as a reliable productivity suite for teams. ----- ### "Might be worth it for a company that isnt service related." — 3.0/5 > **Carolyn** | *1 May 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the consistency of using a google product I liked all the possible apps I could use if we had the kind of business that used them. > > **Cons**: Too busy No options for an a la carte plan Forced to purchase Google Workspace just to use one of their apps. Not enough apps for my business model > > I really enjoyed using Google Voice on the free level, but our business grew, and we decided to stick with Google Voice, but move to the business level. We were not informed that we had exceeded our max message/call limit. We were just cut off. To do this we had to purchase a monthly subscription to Google Workspace. This product is not built for my type of company, a mobile cat grooming service, but really nothing is, and we are forced to run our business on a patchwork of apps. We were hoping for more functionality and consistency across our platforms once we decided to upgrade to the Business level of google voice and thus jump in with Google Workspace. The transition was pretty hard for our company. We had no phone for 2 weeks while we transitioned. Ill say that again. If you have Google Voice at a personal free level, and you want to go to a higher level, you have to pause your phone lines to do the transition. Then each person in my company needed an email, or so I was prompted, at a fee per user, of course. None of this did we need. We just wanted to use a higher level of google voice. So here we are, we are using it for about a year, and Im noticing that we don't have the needed functionality that I was promised in my sales call, namely an SMS auto-responder that integrates with google voice. ----- ### "PP loves using Google Workspace\!" — 5.0/5 > **Faz** | *29 January 2026* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google workspace makes life easier, its super easy to use and comes with a great amount of cloud storage space too which is always helpful. The pricing plans are affordable too. > > **Cons**: It does miss some features relative to Microsoft such as some features on team or security of authentication. I also feel like the UI is a bit dated. > > Love it\! I think it's the leading workspace for tools for organisations across the board and always found it to be a stable solution. ----- ### "Google Workspace: A Modern Productivity Suite for Collaborative Teams" — 5.0/5 > **Julayne** | *20 March 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Workspace has great value for money in that it is less expensive than other apps. It also allows sharing and collaboration in several different ways such as cloud sharing, document sharing and lets you have real time interaction. > > **Cons**: Sometimes there are issues with trying to share a Word document across Google Workspace. However, this is a minor issue and is usually resolved quickly. > > Actually, using Google Workspace is conducive to working with colleagues across different departments and files can be easily added to or edited for clarity. It is easier to onboard with this app. ----- Page: 1 / 701\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/90761/google-apps-for-business?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/90761/google-apps-for-business) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
