    Pros

    Google Workspaceis a great platform. In the last year Google did a great work on integrating the platform better into recent Mac OS Systems.

    Cons

    I've run my business using these tools for the past 10 years. I wouldn't dream of using anything else.

    Pros

    I've been using it since approx 2012. It was great then and it's a million times better now. I love the fact that 'all' of my biz productivity tools are all in one place, and all from one provider.

    Cons

    Bizarrely, my only criticsm of Google Workspace is the fact that it doesn't do more e.g.) CRM / Order Management / Payment gateways. So, no real negatives.

    Reasons for Choosing Google Workspace

    Google Workspace is just better, easier, and cheaper.
