What problems is Workspace Audit solving and how is that benefiting you?
I recently had a free trial of Workspace Audit to scan our Google Workspace tenancy and identify potential security improvements. It was very simple to set up and run a scan of the environment, with pretty much instant results.
The tool makes it easier to see what settings need changing to become a more secure environment. With so many settings available within Google Admin, it's very easy to overlook and/or miss important configurations.
The dashboard is what makes this tool even more user-friendly. It presents findings in a clear way and categorises issues by area and severity. This made it easy to prioritise what needed attention. I also found the direct links into Google Admin particularly helpful, saving time when locating and updating specific settings.
Workspace Audit appears to be a very powerful health check tool that provides immediate clarity on where your domain stands against best practices. It highlights misconfigurations and gives actionable steps to resolve them, ultimately helping to strengthen overall security.
Not all areas of Workspace Audit are available for trial users, so I can't comment on those. But from demos I have seen of these areas, these features look like they would add even more value.
Overall, the trial experience was very positive and demonstrated real value, particularly for admins looking to improve security quickly and efficiently. However, while the tool is clearly powerful, I feel the pricing model may put it out of reach for some. In our case, current and upcoming budgets are tight. That being said, we will definitely consider this tool in future budget planning, as it adds clear value and gives greater visibility into your tenancy than Google Admin alone.
