Gemini Reviews & Product Details

Unfortunately, I don't have anything positive to say about Gemini. I will put details in the "dislike" area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gemini appeared in my Google Workspace tools randomly, it takes up screen real estate, pops up in random places with suggestions I find distracting and unhelpful, and it really messes with my train of thought. I don't want all of these intrusive "suggestions" all the time -- I just want to do my job. The most annoying one is definitely in Google Sheets where it keeps wanting to suggest things to do with my formulas. It's a huge distraction and is never what I wanted. I have explored trying to turn it off, particularly in the areas where it bothers me the most, but I can't seem to find a way to fine-tune where it appears and doesn't appear.

It reminds me of when someone is counting and someone (usually a kid being obnoxious) starts shouting out random numbers just to be annoying. The very (very) few times that Gemini actually suggests something I would use it's not extensive enough to be helpful and just saves me a second or two of typing. I feel like I had that with auto-fill suggestions before Gemini even became a thing. Google really needs to come up with a granular way to turn it off in the areas that frustrate people the most.

I love how effortlessly gemini connects with my Google Workspace—summarizing my emails, drafting Docs, and organizing my Drive in seconds. My massive context window also lets me "read" entire books or analyze long videos all at once, providing deep insights that saves me hours of manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike when Gemini gets too preachy or refuses to answer simple questions because of its safety filters. It can also be frustrating when it hallucinates facts or gives me a generic, wordy response instead of just getting straight to the point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first thing I appreciate is that it supports multimodal inputs, such as text, PDFs, and images. Its simple and clean user interface makes it very easy to use. I mostly rely on it for company-related tasks, as it integrates well with the Google ecosystem, including Docs, Gmail, Sheets, and Drive. Additionally, with the right prompts, I can quickly generate high-resolution images, which I often use for my YouTube channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, it struggles to understand context in more complex situations or when handling follow-up questions during photo generation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Gemini for a variety of tasks, from creating images and documents to conducting thorough research. I love how Gemini's deep research capabilities allow me to find detailed information about any concept, providing me with comprehensive details and citations, which is amazing. The ability to generate diagrams and images in a fraction of the time it would normally take is incredibly valuable. Additionally, I appreciate the canvas feature where I can design prototypes and create documents easily. The initial setup of Gemini was very easy, making the transition smooth and efficient. Lastly, the seamless integration with Google Workspace enhances my productivity across different tools and software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Gemini's performance unstable within Google Workspace, as it tends to hallucinate frequently. This affects my workflow when using Google Docs or Sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Gemini’s speed and its seamless integration with Google, which makes searching for information and summarizing content both fast and convenient. What stands out most to me about Gemini is its native multimodality and how well it fits into the broader ecosystem. Unlike other AI tools that often feel isolated, Gemini serves as a kind of connective tissue throughout your digital life. It goes beyond just reading text—it can 'see' through your camera using Gemini Live, 'watch' lengthy videos to provide summaries, and 'act' by pulling information directly from your Gmail, Docs, and Calendar. This means you can accomplish tasks without the hassle of copying and pasting between apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it frustrating that Gemini often lacks clear, step-by-step explanations. It tends to struggle with complex issues, especially when it comes to generating programming code, and sometimes has difficulty providing detailed guidance for problem-solving or projects.

I like Gemini mainly for its strong multimodal abilities and integration with the Google ecosystem. It can understand text, photos, audio, and video, which makes it more versatile. I appreciate how it combines AI thinking with Google Search, helping me understand emails, documents, pitches, and even clients' difficult queries. It's incredibly helpful for me as a BDR. Overall, Gemini acts as a partner that helps me save time, stay organized, and deliver more value to prospects. The interface is easy to handle, and it provides responses to queries in seconds.

One thing about Gemini that could improve is its consistency. Sometimes it gives very accurate, detailed responses, and other times it gives very generic responses or misses important context. It could improve its ability to track details consistently throughout longer conversations as sometimes it forgets earlier conversations or shifts its understanding midway, which affects the flow. It would help if the model had stronger memory continuity, clearer grounding in user-provided information, and more precise handling of India-specific or niche industry queries.

What I like most about Gemini is how fast and responsive it is, especially for everyday writing and research tasks. The interface is simple, clean, and easy to use, which makes it great for quick questions or deeper work. I also appreciate how well it integrates with Google’s ecosystem — switching between Docs, Gmail, and Gemini makes the workflow much smoother. Its ability to summarize content, draft emails, and generate ideas saves a huge amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are moments when Gemini’s responses feel less detailed than expected, especially with very technical queries. Some features also seem to be available only in certain regions or accounts, which can be limiting. I’d also like more customization options for tone and writing style. Overall, these are small issues, but there’s definitely room for more advanced controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is the new controllable 'thinking' capability. Unlike other lightweight models, Gemini 2.5 Flash can pause to reason through complex queries before responding. Being able to set a 'thinking budget' gives me the flexibility to balance speed and intelligence, making it surprisingly capable for a 'Flash' model while keeping costs low."

"It can occasionally be stubborn about following complex negative constraints. When given long context or detailed formatting rules, it sometimes ignores specific 'do not' instructions or gets 'lazy' with large outputs. I find I still have to nudge it more often than the Pro version to get the exact format I need on the first try." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked the image generation and code generating features of Gemini. It helps a lot when I need to make a chart or an architecture for any project. The image generation feature is also fun to use, especially for creating a mind map for clear views. As for code generation, it helps me fix my errors in code, which is really helpful.

They can improve the image generation for making designs and detailed diagrams, such as when I had to make a chart. I needed a stencil for making a diagram for FLA, but image generated was off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gemini is a more matter-of-fact AI than Chat GPT. It's not what you probably would call sycophantic; rather, it's more encyclopedic. That being said, it is also less creative and will also say it can't answer some questions if you phrase them in a certain way. You can, for example, get information about a physical ailment, but if you need information about your own health condition, you'll get disclaimers first. I wouldn't use it for generative AI because it doesn't seem to be able to switch voices.

I've only used it for content and images, and for content, it's OK. It's just OK, not superior to others. It's easy to use on my phone or computer, and because of that, I often turn to it in moments of tech frustration. I find it's best for using to solve technical problems and dilemmas, or catch me up on technology with quick answers.

I use it most on my phone for these types of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gemini is not good at image generation, at ALL. Also, if you ask for it to turn something into a template or document, it gets kind of stuck, at least for me on my end. I often have it tell me to wait to download just for the image or document to never arrive. Then the AI prompt is also quickly forgotten, and I must type it in again. Not fun.

While it's easy to use, when it does the wrong thing with a prompt, it's NOT easy to revise, and you can correct it a dozen times, but it will often get "stuck" and keep giving you the same answer.

There is no such thing as customer support, and I have gotten into arguments with it trying to get it to report a glitch lol to no avail. My apologies to everyone for this, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
