    Pros

    Workspace is a very simple and very suitable for business or universitys. It offers a lot of features compared to the free version of google.

    Cons

    price/quality we can find better alternatives like office365, it got less features and less people working on it so the community is way smaller then the rivals

    If I forget about the month of time I wasted to migrate from one Google Workspace account to a new one, overall it is quite good.Although the Google Drive section cold be improve. The navigation is not very user friendly.There are several interesting apps and GMail works well.

    Pros

    The space to store the documents is good (depending on how much you pay of course) and it makes the files available and accessible from anywhere, which is a plus.I use it a lot to share files and documents and it is easy to create links and share folders.I like the fact that it is possible to use the GMail app for corporate emails, avoiding the need of using outlook or other email systems that do not work well.

    Cons

    I started a new account with Google Workspace migrating from another account I already had in Google Workspace.It should have been the easiest thing in the world for Google to simply change my account name. All my files where already there, I just had to add the new corporate email and put the account in the name of my new company. It should have been easy and quick.Well, instead it was a nightmare. Not only Google cannot change the name in an account (or better said, they refuse to do it) but they also refused to transfer my files from one account to the next. I had to download ALL my files of years and move them to the new account. But even this is not easy. Google Workspace does not let you download all your files easily. If a folder is above a certain size (I believe above 2 GB), they break it down randomly in many different files that are then impossible for you to rearrange in the same folder. So, you have to download your files and folders almost one by one and then upload them to the new account. It took me one month of work, time that I did not have and I do no appreciate wasting in something completely useless. This is definitely something Google should work on because it is not acceptable at all.

    iCloud

    Reasons for Switching to Google Workspace

    Only because not everyone works with Apple. If people do not have Mac laptops or iPhones it is more complicated to use iCloud, while instead everyone uses Google, regardless of the hardware they have.But this is the only reason. If I did not have to share my work with other people, I would have definitely gone for iCloud.

    The alternative to Microsoft Office Suite

    The go-to collaboration tool for professionals and small-medium companies

    The go-to collaboration tool for professionals and small-medium companies

    Pros

    Google workspace has a lot of features and it can be seen the only real competitor to the Microsoft Office Suite. The best thing is the ease of use.

    Cons

    Although the workspace is quite simple to understand and use, sometimes users get lost in so many modules and configurations. Moreover, it is a little bit less structured for big companies than Microsoft workspace and some tools (eg Spreadsheet and Presentations) do not offer the best level of features. Lastly the email management in Gmail is not really efficient.
