Google Workspace is a similar product to Microsoft Office but a full cloud product. As a Microsoft product user switching to the Google Workspace environment, I feel the switch is very smooth, with almost no learning curve. I will make an introduction in this article and make a brief comparison with Microsoft Office in another article.
Google Workspace (formerly known as Google Apps and later G Suite) is a collection of cloud computing, productivity, and collaboration tools, software, and products developed and marketed by Google. It consists of
- Communication Tools, such as
- Gmail,
- Contacts,
- Calendar,
- Meet and
- Chat;
- Currents for employee engagement;
- Drive for storage; and the
- Google Docs Editors Suite --- a web-based Office Suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service, including,
- Google Docs,
- Google Sheets,
- Google Slides,
- Google Drawings,
- Google Forms,
- Google Sites, and
- Google Keep --- something like MS OneNote
An Admin Panel is provided for managing users and services, and some other related features are provided.
