Google Workspace

Vorteile

Hat alles, was man braucht an allen Geräten und funktioniert!

Nachteile

Dass man einen großen Teil kostenlos nutzen kann in einem kleinen Umfang.

Vorteile

Die übergreifende Suchfunktion ist ein echter Segen und funktioniert fantastisch.

Nachteile

Google Meet sorgt oft für die Verlangsamung des Rechners. Gäste haben oft Probleme. Der Anruf aus dem Workspace ist bei Wettbewerbern im UX besser gelöst.

Vorteile

Das man nichts Downloaden oder installieren muss und alles online sind. Von email, bis Kalender. Man ist nicht Hardware Geräte abhängig

Nachteile

Was eben auch Nachteil ist, dass man immer aus dem Browser arbeitet und es für mich am Anfang nervig war alle Benachrichtigungen an oder auch abzustellen und die zugriffe richtig eingestellt hatte. Mich nervt manchmal der Drive, weil die Struktur nicht so ersichtlich ist.

Vorteile

Ich arbeite gerne mit Google Workspace, da es sehr benutzerfreundlich ist. Selbst für jemanden, der noch nie damit gearbeitet hat, ist es schnell und einfach zu erlernen. Es ist perfekt für kleinere Firmen und Startups geeignet, da es kostengünstig ist, und sogar für den Privatgebrauch ist es eine tolle Option.

Nachteile

Ich betrachte es eher als ideale Einstiegslösung, besonders für Neulinge, die nicht tief in die Tasche greifen möchten. Für größere Unternehmen sind jedoch andere Programme oft besser geeignet, da es immer wieder zu Problemen mit sich überschneidenden SharePoints kommen kann.

Vorteile

Abstimmung der Anwendungen aufeinander, Interaktion der Anwendungen miteinander. Sehr umfassende Auswahl an hilfreichen Tools zur Erleichterung der Zusammenarbeit im Team.

Nachteile

Auf der technischen Seite kam es gelegentlich zum Verlust von Daten aufgrund von Abstürzen.

Vorteile

An sich ist workspace nicht schlecht, mit vielen Funktionen.

Nachteile

Wenn man Probleme hat mit Domain oder Mailempfang , sitzt man schnell auf Glatteis

Vorteile

Verbindet alle wichtigen Tools an einem Ort

Nachteile

Viel Konkurrenz, die mehr auf ein Thema spezialisiert ist

Vorteile

Zugang zu allen Google-Produkten in 1 Hand

Nachteile

nicht ganz die richtige Suchpositionierung

Vorteile

GMail ist durchdacht und gut zu verwenden. Drive ist an sich auch gut zu verwenden, wären da nicht die Probleme beim Download von Ordnern, großen Dateien und beim Teilen.

Nachteile

Es wurde mit "so viel Speicher wie nötig" geworben, danach die Preise angehoben und das Verpsrechen entfernt. Jetzt müssen wir statt anfangs 8.5€ / Montag / User plötzlich 30€ / Monat / User für die gleiche Leistung Zahlen und ich kann mir nicht mal sicher sein, dass Google sich umentscheidet und auch dort die Leistung irgendwann einfach ändert. Geht gar nicht. Außerdem funktioniert der Download großer Dateien und Order so schlecht, dass wir inzwischen lieber WeTransfer für Kunden verwenden.

Vorteile

Es funktioniert, ist schnell und einfach zu verstehen.

Nachteile

Manchmal hänge ich fest und muss erneut beginnen, das ist aber nichts Weltbewegendes.

Vorteile

ist ein herausragendes Tool für die Zusammenarbeit, es kombiniert Gmail, Drive und Kalender

Nachteile

Abhängig von Internetverbindung und offline funktionen wie Google Docs sind eingeschränkt nutzbar

Vorteile

Einfach zu bedienen, easy Collaboration, Einfache Integration

Nachteile

Google Meet und Kalender könnten noch ein paar mehr Funktionen vertragen :)

Vorteile

Vorteile

Die Übersichtllichkeit und Bedienungseinfachheit ist ein entscheidendes Kriterium

Nachteile

Leider bietet das Programm nur eingeschränkte Möglichkeiten es in Fremden Sprachen zu nutzen

Vorteile

überall und von jedem Gerät aus abrufbar, mobil perfekt und schnell.

Nachteile

man kann leider nicht mehrere Postfächer von einer Seite verwalten. Erklärvideos könnten auch auf Deutsch verfügbar sein!

Vorteile

Kommunikation mit Teammitgliedern auf allen Ebenen, sehr leichte Integration, sehr einfache Migration von vorhandenen Systemen

Nachteile

alles in der Cloud, an Datensicherheit muss man halt glauben

Vorteile

Also google meint wenn man selbstständig ist braucht man ein Google workspace dann habe ich das gemacht und jetzt arbeite ich damit.

Nachteile

Ich finde es manchmal etwas umständlich aber ansonsten muss man sich halt rein finden und damit zurechtkommen es ist schon okay alles so.

Vorteile

Es ist die benutzerfreundlichste Software, die ich bis heute benutze, es gibt eine Reihe von Optionen in der Software. Ich benutze fast alle von ihnen jeden Tag. Wie Business, Meet, Chat, Drive, Hangouts etc. Alles in einem an einem Platz.

Nachteile

Die Kalenderfunktion habe ich benutzt, aber sie ist nicht so effizient wie andere, zum Beispiel Outlook.Die Verwaltung und das Hinzufügen von Zeitfenstern ist für mich etwas schwierig.Das kostenlose Laufwerk ist auf 15 GB begrenzt, was für die Speicherung von Dateien ausreicht, aber nicht für Fotos.Wenn wir zusätzlichen Speicherplatz kaufen würden, wäre es besser, und er wäre zu einem günstigeren Preis erhältlich.

Vorteile

Benutzerfreundlich und einfach zu verstehen und neue Tools zu lernen

Nachteile

zu viele Werbung, manchmal stecken bleiben

Vorteile

Tolle Integration in andere Softwareprodukte

Nachteile

Liegt eben bei Google das muss man auch wollen

Vorteile

Saubere Abläufe tolles Service Personal

Nachteile

Ausbau fähig alle sollten sich mal anstrengen

Vorteile

Es ist einfach und sehr übersichtlich top

Nachteile

Bis her habe ich keine negativen Nachteile

Vorteile

One of Google Workspace’s shining features is shared workspace which lets many people work on the same document spreadsheets and presentations at the same time. Its supple integration with other Google tools, like Gmail, Calendar, and Drive, makes the ecosystem very natural. One example is being able to build events right from email invitations and automatically attach related documents to calendar entries that reduce administrative load for users.

Nachteile

An advanced communication project of any complexity would be benefited if Gantt chart features or even more advanced task dependency tracking were added.

Vorteile

Firstly from the perspective of working in a large international corporate, what stands out the most is its real-time collaboration tools, especially Google Docs and Google Sheets, which allow multiple users to edit simultaneously with visible, instant updates. In a large corporate setting, this eliminates the need for extensive email chains and enables team comments and tagging, making feedback cycles much quicker. Additionally, Google Drive’s shared drives simplify file organisation across departments, allowing easy access control for large teams. I also appreciate Google Calendar's ease of use, particularly when managing multiple diaries with stakeholders overseas - the ability to quickly adjust meetings to suit different timezones is invaluable. Google Keep has also been extremely useful in managing to-do lists for multiple clients.

Also as a solo founder, Gmail’s integration with Google Calendar is invaluable, with features like smart scheduling, email reminders, and access to Google Meet. This makes it easy to manage everything in one ecosystem, keeping tasks organised without needing multiple platforms.

Nachteile

Oftentimes, Google Sheets can slow down with large datasets, especially compared to more robust data tools like Excel, making it challenging for teams handling heavy data. Some limitations in offline functionality can also be frustrating, as it requires reliable internet to maximise productivity.

For a solo user, the cost can feel high for just one person, especially if only basic tools are used. There’s also a limited range of design customisation in Google Slides, which can sometimes be restrictive for branding needs.

Vorteile

I like the convenience of Google Workspace - I can use my business' domain name and still have all the creature comforts of Google's numerous apps and tools, like Drive, email, etc.

Nachteile

There is a learning curve when setting up Google Workspace. From my perspective, an average user will not understand the in-depth and granular onboarding process. Google Workspace seemingly treats its users as large corporations, and as such, it fashions its directions and setup process as though they are dealing with IT pros.

However, as a small freelance design studio (sole proprietor), I do not need all the features that are available to set up, such as mobile device authorizations, auditing, groups, and teams.

I wish Google had the option of scaling their set-up and onboarding process specifically to each user—perhaps a preferences board where options can be toggled on/off to lessen the confusion. Thankfully, I have prior knowledge of domain setup, mailbox management, etc. However, I still had to consult Google support more than once to ensure my settings were correct.

However, beyond the length of the setup process, my biggest complaint about Google Workspace is that there is no easy or efficient way to eliminate duplicate files and protect files from errant deletion. Therefore, if a sync session is interrupted, files can be inadvertently duplicated, or when files on one terminal are accidentally deleted, those files are also deleted within the Drive space—a complete recipe for disaster.

This has happened to me more than once. I attempted to remove duplicate files from my internal hard drive but didn't realize that my Drive app was still running. Instead of being able to correct my course and undelete the data, the app synced my changes to the cloud, and my data was forever lost (because of the sheer amount of it - over 4 TB). I've since attempted to restore many of the files using EaseUs recovery software and miscellaneous backups I have from other hard drives, but that has also turned into a disaster because when I start the copying process (restoring the files), the internet cuts out and the connection is lost. The whole process has to be restarted, but Google doesn't know where it left off and where it needs to begin, so the process starts from scratch, causing multiples of each file to collect in the cloud, and then it is synced back to my local hard drive - using up precious storage space.

Google needs a more robust solution to track file changes and versions, a check/balance approach to adding and replacing files, and the ability to resume a sync or copy session where it left off.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Google Workspace

Vorteile

The inbox is relatively intuitive and can be adapted to fit your brand/web domain; it's Gmail with your professional branding. You also get Drive, Meet, Google Docs and a few other apps.

I rely on Google Calendar to stay organized with client meetings, conference calls, appointments, etc. Although I use a Mac, it generally integrates well with my computer and software. The automated tools are helpful; the calendar invite system is fairly easy to use.

Google Docs are better, in my opinion, than the competitor products because they're so intuitive and it's easy to invite collaborators.

Nachteile

Some of the admin dashboards are less intuitive and hide key account settings. I often have to search 'how do I change X setting in Google Workspace?" because it's not readily apparent in the console.

Vorteile

When it comes to team collaboration, Google Workspace is the best in the business. Teams can collaborate live editing documents together, using chat within those documents, and everything is just intuitive.

Nachteile

While the collaboration is amazing, the productivity suite just isn't MS Office. They're close, but just lagging in features. The Google Sheets formulas aren't quite the same as Excel, the formatting options of Google Docs aren't as robust as Word, etc.

Vorteile

Google Workspace offers a seamless suite of productivity tools that make collaboration easy and efficient. Real-time editing in Docs, Sheets, and Slides allows teams to work together from anywhere. The integration with Gmail, Calendar, and Drive ensures smooth communication and file management. Its cloud-based accessibility and strong security features make it ideal for remote and on-site teams alike.

Nachteile

Google Workspace removes some beta programs that we utilize, and occasional syncing issues can disrupt real-time collaboration.

Vorteile

The standout feature of Google Workspace is its excellent real-time collaboration tools. Being able to work on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations simultaneously with teammates, while seeing their edits and suggestions in real-time, is a game-changer. This feature reduces the need for back-and-forth emails and ensures everyone stays on the same page.

Nachteile

The initial free storage is sufficient for most small teams, but as your data grows, the cost of additional storage can add up. Google Drive’s space is shared across all apps, so emails, documents, and files can quickly eat up the storage limit, leading to additional costs for businesses.

Compared to more specialized and established software (e.g., Microsoft Excel or Word), Google Sheets and Docs lack some of the more advanced features and formatting options. Though not a major issue for most users, for those needing complex functionalities, it could be limiting.

Vorteile

Google Workspace manages most of my business needs: email, calendar, meet, chat, and drive

Nachteile

I have multiple accounts (personal and several different businesses) and though you can switch between them using the icon I get frustrated when I have to sign out or in when going between them

Vorteile

I like that it has everything that my organization needs to use. Most people are familiar with using Google products so it is a fairly simple transition.

Nachteile

It can get complex when you have years of work. Without constant attention to organization, it gets unruly easily.

Vorteile

I like the integration of the entire eco system. It's easy for me to share with my team, give them updates, and keep the organization in sync

Nachteile

The interface itself doesn't really have the "professional" look. I'm not really a fan of Teams either. I still go with my previous solution for video conferencing.

Vorteile

Seamless way to manage business email and associated tools. Google Workspace makes it easy to set up business email accounts and user profiles without needing a lot of technical knowledge.

Nachteile

Some tools and systems do require Googling to find a way through them, but generally speaking I find the software is easy to follow and use.

Vorteile

Google made it easy to purchase a domain and create user email addresses. I like the security with MFA that google workspace offers

Nachteile

Google workspace flagged some of our emails most likely because we were mass emailing as a high volume.

Vorteile

google workspace includes all google products, these products are collaborative with each other .making it easy to work as a team .all apps are easily accessible from any device .I am intrigued by the level of security google provides for each app . example two factor authentication.

Nachteile

Some Apps can be costly as there is an ongoing subscription to access some of these app, this really does add up over time .also there are some app that are free like Gmail but there is limited storage . For you to access more space it means more money. There is a lack of some formatting options as opposed to some other software . overall it get the job done .

Vorteile

What I liked most about Google Workspace is how easy it is to work together with others. The real-time collaboration in Docs and Sheets is great, and everything being cloud-based means I can access my work from anywhere. Plus, the tools all integrate really well, so switching between email, calendars, and documents is seamless.

Nachteile

What I liked least about Google Workspace is that it can sometimes feel a bit slow, especially when dealing with large files. Also, the offline functionality isn't as smooth as I’d like—it can be tricky to access documents when the internet is spotty.

Vorteile

Google Workspace is incredibly efficient for our team to collaborate, save data, and navigate our stored documents, procedures, lists and all of the important features that we need to effectively run the organisation. We are frequent users of Mail, Drive, Calendar, Meet, and Chat to improve our experience and communication.

Nachteile

Google Chat is outperformed by other third party tools for internal communication, as well as limited at least from our experience, in inviting third party collaborators to chat directly with teams on Chat.

Vorteile

What I liked most about Google Workspace is its seamless integration of tools like Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive, which makes real-time collaboration extremely efficient. The cloud-based system ensures that all documents are easily accessible from anywhere, fostering a productive environment for remote teams. Additionally, its intuitive design and simplicity make it user-friendly, even for non-technical users.

Nachteile

The thing I liked least about Google Workspace is its limited offline functionality. While some documents can be accessed offline, the experience is not as smooth as when connected to the internet. Also, the storage space provided in some plans may not be sufficient for users who handle large amounts of data, such as media files.

Vorteile

Organization and ease of use for new business owners. I found that I could operate my small business very easily with Google Workspace and the functions it has to share documents, create forms and communicate with businesses from other networks. I am still learning some of the functions of Google Docs, Google Drive, and Google Sheets. Overall, Ive found it to be user friendly- so far so good!

Nachteile

I wish there were more tutorials for new users on the functions of all the sections in the suite. Things like how to correct forms, do outlines, etc. I think it would be useful to have a tutorial available for new users.

Vorteile

Google Workspace has transformed the way our team collaborates and manages tasks. The integration of tools like Google Docs, Sheets, and Meet has streamlined our workflow and made remote collaboration seamless.

Nachteile

Although offline access is available for Google Docs and Sheets, it can be cumbersome to work without a stable internet connection. Users might experience difficulty accessing files or editing documents when offline, which can disrupt workflow.

Vorteile

hat I like most about Google Workspace is its seamless integration of tools that enhance team collaboration and productivity. As a CMO, managing multiple projects and communicating with various teams is essential, and Google Workspace makes this effortless. The real-time collaboration on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations through Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides is a game-changer for remote or hybrid teams. It’s easy to keep everything organized through Google Drive, and the integration with Gmail and Google Calendar helps keep our communication and scheduling on track. The flexibility of accessing these tools from any device is incredibly useful, especially when I’m on the go.

Nachteile

The only area I feel could use improvement is the offline functionality of some tools. While Google Workspace works great online, the offline mode doesn’t always perform as smoothly, particularly when syncing changes. Additionally, some of the advanced features in Google Sheets and Docs are a bit limited compared to other standalone tools, but these are minor trade-offs given the overall ease of use and collaborative features.

Vorteile

It makes life easy how everything connects in one place like Gmail, Google Docs, Forms, and Drive all in one suite

Nachteile

There is none I can think of at the moment

Vorteile

The fact that it is cloud-based and allows us to combine email, drive storage, admin functionality and controls, and connect our company together all in one.

Nachteile

Believe it or not, I really don't have anything negative to say about Workspace. It has proven itself to be an effective tool for us.

Vorteile

I love how integrated each component of the workspace is. It all functions so easily together and makes it very simple to share things with colleagues.

Nachteile

My least favourite thing is that sometimes even though I've given someone access to a worksheet, they don't automatically get access to links in that sheet. I'm sure there's a way to change this, but if there is it's not simple enough

Vorteile

It integrates a host of production apps, collaboration, and communication tools to aid workflow and business processes. Additionally, it supports several extensions that help keep me productive.

Nachteile

Google Workspace fails to have a dedicated illustrator tool on par with LucidChart, Vizio, or Illustrator. It is the one glaring issue that I have to go elsewhere to meet my business needs. JamBoard is ok but does not have all the features as some of the products that I mentioned.

Vorteile

I can go between documents from my laptop to my phone without losing anything. The share ability is awesome too!

Nachteile

It bothers me that I am randomly signed out of sheets or docs when I'm in the middle of working on something.

Vorteile

The list would be long :D but the following are a few of them -

1. Seamless "e-mail" experience. What I like the most is the simple layout (design).

2. Robust "Drive" to store data and access from anywhere in the world,

3. Excellent integration facility of reminders, events, etc, through "Calendar".

4. Classic apps like Sheets, Docs and Slides. Working online has become super easy. The best part is the access facility from across the globe and different devices.

5. "Forms", is a great way to gather data, do analysis, etc.

6. Lastly, "Meet" app is an inseparable part of my day-to-day meetings. There are many useful apps that come with Google Workspace. I can keep on writing on these as it made my day-to-day work very easy and convenient :D

Nachteile

It's not that I didn't like but there are a few things where I think that there is an scope of improvement. The following are the same -

1. e-mail - In the e-mail app, the advance search option should have the feature to search the e-mails older than an year.

2. Being a paid user of Workspace, some essential apps like Gemini and YouTube, etc should be provided with a premium account.

3. Google Meet should have some features like having a look at the participants while sharing the screen and ease of sharing a video with sound (through a player).

Vorteile

Can't say enough good things about the Google Workspace! So glad this is what we use at our company. Fast, efficient, easy to use -- and exactly what I use in my personal life.

Nachteile

No cons. Love it! I have used other workspaces in the past at previous jobs, and I'm externally grateful we use Google Workspace here.

Vorteile

La multitud de aplicaciones que incluye el producto Workspace.

Nachteile

A veces hay incompatibilidades con archivos de microsoft Office.

Vorteile

I love how lately I can do tabs in Google Docs. And before that, I loved that I could insert a link to a Google Workspace file and then tab to change the link into a linked button of it's own with the file title.

Nachteile

I don't love the way that it's not quick and easy to move Google Docs or Sheets back and forth between different folders. I wish that Google Drive worked more like a desktop, with ability to have multiple folders open side-by-side.
