Workspace Audit Reviews & Product Details

What surprised me most about Workspace Audit is that it’s not just a powerhouse for locking down domain security, it’s actually an incredible learning tool for admins as well. Google Workspace is huge and full of settings, and it’s way too easy to overlook hidden settings, buried toggles, or new policy options. Workspace Audit shines a light on features I didn't even realise were sitting right there in the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, very little. The sheer amount of data and settings it audits can feel a bit eye-opening on day one when you realise how much needs attention, but that’s kind of the point. I'd much rather see the full picture than not know Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Google admin console is such a vast, complicated and ever-changing piece of software. As a small k-12 school IT administrator - I don't have time to be constantly figuring out the changes to it on my own. We talked about Workspace Audit in one of our monthly regional Tech Director meetings, like we had talked about other similar software before. The difference that I found and what led me to purchase the software was three-fold. First, for a small K-12 school , the cost was very reasonable compared to other similar software. Secondly, I liked the fact that Workspace Audit is read-only, so they were not going to change anything in my admin console, and I wasn't letting any unauthorized outsiders into our most important piece of software. Third, after doing the trial, I realized how much our security needed improving and how easy it was to use Workspace Audit to help correct long neglected details in the Google Admin Console. In three words, easy, safe, cheap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m not sure I’ve found anything I dislike so far. I’m fairly new to the tech world—I’m trained as a teacher, but I took over the IT position and I’m learning as I go. That said, there are a few things that could use clearer explanations, especially around why they make my Google more secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool provides a unique look into my Google Admin space. This has shown me graphically what items need my attention. This tool also helps provide guidance on recommendations to fix the issue. Finally, there is a link to Google Admin console to fix it faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not had any dislikes to date. I have found this software very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it highlights what we need to focus on and I like how often the product is updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish there were a few enhancements like "snoozing" alerts as some of them we want to turn into projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For those of us who are not Google Admin experts, Workspace Audit is a great tool for monitoring your Google Workspace domain settings and policies. The UI is easy to navigate and understand and it clearly identifies risk through a RAG system so you know what to prioritise and what you need to do to address them.

The dashboard can be a bit overwhelming at times, especially if you have a lot of security issues. It would also be great if there were longer trial periods or a greater selection of pricing tiers so that schools - on small budgets - could make use of this great tool.

I was very drawn to its very clean and open UI/UX design, which allowed me to see my most critical issues at the forefront all the time. I never lost view of things that needed my attention, which then allowed me to start drilling down from the top side and start prioritizing some of the changes I would have to make. Everything was done in very clear language, and the use of the color palette choices meant that critical issues really stood out. Anything less critical was still visible, but there was a prioritization, allowing me to focus on points that needed attention the most. It was also easy to navigate between different categories with the left nav view and tool tree on the left hand side, making it very easy to focus on a particular section. I appreciated its ease of use, clarity, and backing with framework references for security choices. The live data feedback in the risk centers was great for seeing dynamic changes or effects made by users, allowing me to act much quicker. The initial setup was also very simple, as it integrates seamlessly with my Google enviroments data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't say that anything did not work for me. I took the trial, which ended up being an extended trial. It was probably at an earlier iteration of the actual application. I know that there have been improvements since that time. Because I took it up as a trial, there were some elements missing in the upgraded pro license for the seven days that I had it. I wasn't able to fully evaluate the risk centers, and I couldn't assess it against my own environment to understand the data a lot more cleanly. But I wouldn't say there was an issue with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Workspace Audit goes deep into reporting, especially when it comes to Google Workspace apps and extensions. It provides a really granular view of our environment that most tools just gloss over. This depth helps take the guesswork out of security by showing exactly which apps have risky permissions and what extensions are being used, making it easy to shut down vulnerable apps before they become a problem. Additionally, I like how easy the initial setup was; it just required connecting with a Google Workspace service account. The customer support team is awesome too; they listen to feedback and have created a really strong community around their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there isn't much that doesn't work well and if there is something I think could be changed the team is more than helpful when it comes to suggesting changes or new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Workspace Audit makes everything so clear and prioritized, telling you which settings aren't in the recommended manner and suggesting changes. It's easy to follow through the tool, adjusting settings from the most to the least critical. The tool provides excellent guidance for managing school cybersecurity in the Google Workspace admin settings, giving me all the information I need, making it super easy to use and understand. I appreciate that it organizes risks by priority, and thanks to the tool, I now know what I must do, which calms me. The initial setup was trivial and super easy, and honestly, it's just perfect and great value for the money. I would certainly recommend it and would buy it again if I switched jobs.

I don't know. In a perfect world, the changes would be done automatically. Not sure if that's a good idea though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Workspace Audit because it's easy to use and helps us keep our security policies in check efficiently. It's also great that we can audit our systems instantly without hiring an external company. I appreciate that we can prevent sensitive data loss with it. The team has been super reactive, answering questions and helping us set it up without any fuss. They even gave us a 1-on-1 consultation to ensure the correct settings and permissions, provided hints and tips, and adapted the tool based on our feedback. The setup was very easy, as they guided us through the entire process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you first do an audit, there are often lots of scary scores and terms. Seeing 32 non-compliant issues can make you panic. It would be good to have a warning or some context. We made one change as per their recommendation, but that shut some of our users out of apps they needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instantly understanding your risks and what steps are required to rectify the identified issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The trial is only 7 days, but I think it can be extended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
