"Seamless Collaboration and Auto-Save with a Consistent, Easy UI"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

Google Workspace offers a complete set of office applications, and the ability to collaborate on a document is a real game changer. What I appreciate most is that documents are saved continuously, so I don’t have to worry about manual saves. The menus and functions are straightforward and easy to understand. Whether I’m using Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, the UI feels consistent, generally the same, and nicely standardized across the apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

Some formatting issues can come up when you import documents from Microsoft, especially Excel. Also, some formulas in Excel do not work properly in Google Sheets. At times, if your document is large and contains many pages, tabs, and images, it can slow down quite a bit and take a bit longer to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Collaboration and Seamless Canvas Integration—Plus the Must-Have “Force a Copy” Feature"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

I like how easy it is to collaborate with my colleagues and students. I like how efficient it is and I love how it integrates with Canvas. My favorite feature of Google Workspace is how one can force a copy with people/students/colleagues. I LOVE THAT. NEVER GET RID OF IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

The biggest thing I don't like about Google Workspace is the design elements. The default templates in Google slides are ugly, Google drawings is a little worthless, and the stock images are not cute or creative at all. I think that teachers and students like to make pretty things, but people are turning to Canva for these things. If you want to get back to the cutting edge, I would make it cute again. Better templates, better colors, more like Canva. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Real-Time Collaboration Boosted by Auto-Save and Version History"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

Real-time collaboration is one of the biggest advantages. Multiple users can work on the same document at the same time, and features like auto-save and version history help improve productivity while reducing manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

One drawback of Google Workspace is that some advanced features are locked behind higher-tier subscriptions, which can become expensive for organizations. Its offline functionality also feels limited compared with desktop-based tools. In addition, I’ve run into occasional compatibility issues when working with Microsoft Office files—especially those with complex formatting, macros, or large spreadsheets—when sharing and editing across different environments and teams.

"Real-Time Collaboration Anywhere with Google Workspace"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

I like Google Workspace because I collaborate a lot with others. That collaboration is real time and it works anywhere. I use Google Sheets, Documents, and Slides that update instantly for everyone. I don't have to worry about emailing files back and forth. It also provides great options for allowing others to view only, edit, and/or download. Google Workspace is very useful when I work in Teams with others. It also integrates well with Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Drive, and other Docs. The price is great also! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

Google Workspace works offline, but the experience isn't as seamless as the desktop apps. I've noticed that it lags more more when working offline. The drive organization can get messy and confusing when sharing between my drive, shared drives, and file shortcuts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Seamless Google Workspace Collaboration for a Remote Team"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

Google has allowed our company to quickly and easily locate, share, organize, and use files, images, and other information across our remote-based company.

Because all of our employees are familiar with Google, all of the applications in Google Workspace are easy to learn and seamlessly integrate with each other. We particularly use Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Google Gemini, Google Calendar, Gmail, and Google Slides. For our marketing company, all of the assets we store on Google Drive have made it simple to communicate throughout our company and use assets for presentations and sales calls.

While many coworkers use the AI Gemini, I use it very effectively to produce realistic AI images for marketing visuals and designs.

There is no lag in use of any of the Google Apps, and files update within seconds on Google Drive.

Our company also uses Monday.com, and Google Drive does seem to conflict when it comes to showing an updating non-Google file (such as a pdf). It treats it as though the file is deleted or in the trash instead of a file being updated; however, it's unclear whether this is a Monday.com issue or a Google Drive issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

While we have not used Google Meet recently, when we last used it several years ago, there was noticeable lags and glitches, which caused us to choose another video meeting platform. This could be due to too many team members being on the meeting at once.

For what it does, the Google Workspace does seem to prove a great ROI for what we pay; however, we still do need to pay for better applications separate from the Workspace according to our needs. We would love the opportunity to use other apps in Google Workspace instead of our other applications that we pay separately for if the performance of the applications met our expectations.

AI Gemini does seem to have issues making particular edits to image files after generating an image in the chat. However, it's not particularly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Platform for Team Productivity"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

Google Workspace makes everyday work much easier because all the tools are connected in one place. I can quickly switch between Gmail, Drive, Meet, Calendar, and Docs without wasting time. The best part is the real-time collaboration, which helps teams work together smoothly even when everyone is remote. It keeps communication and file sharing simple, organized, and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

Sometimes Google Workspace feels limited for advanced work, especially when using large spreadsheets or creating detailed presentations. A few features available in desktop software are missing or harder to use online. I’ve also noticed occasional slowdowns when internet connectivity is weak, since most tools depend heavily on being online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and Budget-Friendly with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

I like that Google Workspace is price effective and budget friendly, making it affordable for us. It's very useful in communications, with features like chats and emails. The integration with tools such as Jira and Slack, as well as other third-party applications, is very smooth, making it easy to manage domains and handle domain problems. I find it very easy to use and manage. Setting it up was straightforward, and it enhances our daily communications. Overall, Google Workspace supports our entire organization of around 40 people effectively, both in India and the US. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

Yeah. It's quite, we can say, one of the improvements I can believe in, you know, in Google Chat, we are getting the messages. It is you know, forward the message is still there, but we need to, you know, Slack the groups and all these things. It is a little bit complex for us to sharing the images and all these things. So if, you know, have the better understanding to, you know, forwarding the messages and all these things, it will be the more accurate and more things will be the helpful for us.

"All-in-One Collaboration Suite That Keeps Our Team Productive"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

Google Workspace is one of the best workspaces available — it brings together all the essential apps a team needs in one place. It is excellent for team collaboration with real-time co-editing in Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Gmail keeps email communication smooth and reliable, while Google Meet and Chat make video and audio calls effortless. The admin console makes managing users and assigning different roles and permissions very easy. File sharing through Drive is seamless and integrates with every other app in the suite. From email to calendars, documents, video calls, and storage, Google Workspace covers everything a modern team needs. Overall, it is a very helpful and reliable tool that has improved how our team communicates and gets work done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

Honestly, there is very little to dislike about Google Workspace. Some advanced features in Docs, Sheets, and Slides are not as deep as desktop equivalents. Pricing can climb for larger organizations as you scale up users. Offline editing also requires a bit of setup. None of these are major issues, and the overall value of the suite easily makes up for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Google Workspace made remote work much easier for us"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

What I like most about Google Workspace is that all the tools work very well together and make daily work much faster. The interface is clean and easy to use, even for people who are not very accustomed to this type of platform. In our case, we use Gmail, Drive, Docs, and Meet a lot, and being able to have everything connected in one place greatly facilitates organization.

We have also done well with integrations and synchronization between devices. Video calls usually work stably, and collaborating on documents in real-time saves the team a lot of time. In terms of performance, we haven't had major problems, and everything usually loads quickly.

As for the price, it seems quite reasonable for everything it includes, especially for small or remote teams. Additionally, the AI features they have been adding to some tools are useful for quick tasks and productivity. The support and initial setup were also quite straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

What I like least about Google Workspace is that some advanced features are only available in more expensive plans, so sometimes you have to look for external tools for certain needs. There are also times when the organization of permissions in Drive can be a bit confusing, especially when working with many clients or shared folders.

In Google Meet, we have had some video calls where the resource consumption was quite high, especially with older equipment. And although the support works well, in some cases the responses could be a bit faster. Even so, overall the experience has been quite positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential Collaboration Hub for Engineering Projects and Fast-Paced Hackathons"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Workspace?

Google Workspace provides a seamless ecosystem for team collaboration, which is absolutely critical during fast-paced events like hackathons or when coordinating hardware builds within a project hub. The real-time syncing in Google Docs and Sheets allows multiple developers to edit project documentation, track sensor data, and manage hardware component lists simultaneously without version conflicts. Google Drive is incredibly reliable for sharing large assets, such as Arduino libraries, CAD models, and circuit diagrams. Additionally, Google Meet integrates perfectly with Google Calendar, making it effortless to schedule quick virtual syncs when the team needs to troubleshoot ESP32 or robotics code remotely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Workspace?

When working with extremely large datasets in Sheets or heavily formatted, multi-page engineering reports in Docs, the web applications can occasionally experience minor lag compared to dedicated offline desktop software. Furthermore, when managing multiple robotics projects simultaneously, navigating permissions and organizing deeply nested shared folders in Google Drive can sometimes become a bit cluttered and difficult to audit quickly.
