Should I choose Microsoft Office 365 or Google Suite?

Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace are both productivity suites that offer a variety of applications for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, email, and more. Both are highly popular and offer a wide range of features, but there are some key differences between the two.

One major difference between the two is their features. Microsoft Office 365 offers a wider range of features than Google Workspace, particularly in its desktop applications. For example, Word has more advanced features than Docs, Excel has more advanced features than Sheets, and PowerPoint has more advanced features than Slides. However, Google Workspace is constantly adding new features, and many find its web-based applications more user-friendly than Microsoft’s desktop applications. Additionally, Microsoft Office is available in both desktop and cloud versions, while Google Workspace is only available in the cloud.

It’s important to not only consider the features, but also the pricing and the ease of implementation across entire departments and, for larger enterprises, across different territories. You may also notice that Google prioritizes real-time collaboration, whereas Microsoft leverages the familiarity people have with its products, potentially resulting in a shorter learning and transition period. These are all factors that businesses should carefully weigh.

It’s not always an easy decision, but we’ll thoroughly assess the essential aspects and provide an impartial evaluation of both products.
