For early stage startups Google Apps is probably a must have. It does everything you need in the beginning and everyone you hire is going to know how to use them.

It's stable and I've never experienced data lost. Sometimes the HTML that Google Docs generates is weird though, e.g. if you want to copy text from a google doc into Gmail.

Using Gmail at work is pretty much essential. The number of plugins and add-ons for the service now makes it more than just an email client – it's central to everything. Being able to easily switch between person and work email and still use the same interface is a huge win too.

Yes plain vanilla VM as our own mailserver is quite good if you like full control and happy to install software packages and edit code and roll your own solution including understanding SPF, DKIM and optionally DMARC.

It's inexpensive and easy for everyone to access. However, it doesn't update as automatically as others, and is not visually very nice.

one of the best things we like about it is the amazing search functionality! Although, it’s probably not too surprising seeing as they also run the largest search engine in the world. Did you know that you can search based on the content within a document (regardless of the file name)? Pretty handy. This means you can easily find what you’re looking for, no matter how disorganized you ar

Quick, easy to scale, easy to set up and use. Would like some pro-level microsoft features in excel or PPT, but otherwise for quick setup and workflow - can't complain. Gmail tools are powerful, and overall Slides/Sheets/Docs gets the job done. Would recommend to others as the easiest way to get going quickly.

It is free and solves the purpose for an early stage B2B startup. For instance, when you are focussing on building and validating a prototype, you do not need to track a lot of metrics and in such scenarios Google's services are more than enough.

We love the collaboration capabilities and the ease of working on shared documents, safe in the knowledge that all revisions are tracked. We also love the reliability and security of the Google cloud. But individual apps are not as powerful as those in Microsoft, and Sheets in particular is weak compared to excel.Our business lives in a Microsoft world meaning that we must regularly convert from Google to MS.

Easy to use. We registered our domain names on Google Domains, and then registered the emails after that. It also helps that everyone on the team knows how to use Gmail along with shortcuts and filters. You can easily access email via the Gmail or Inbox app. Also, Zapier integrates well with Gmail so we can use it to parse inbound customer leads into our CRM.

We have been using Google Apps (Suite) across a few teams for a few reasons: -Real time collab in docs and sheets is magical - we could not live without this. -Combined with Zapier we automate a TON of workflows very easily including gmail to asana, asana to gsheets, gmail to sheets etc. -Setup of team and sub-teams is easy and easy to manage in one place

Pros: easy to use collaboration tools; email and calendaring work well. Reasonably priced for teams up to a certain size. Cons: no real support. Still need O365/MSFT Office products for hard-core spreadsheets and presentations. One-size-fits-alls product SKU gets expensive as you grow to a point where needs company start to vary by job function.

It still remains as the easiest way to share all types of docs between employees, especially if you're business email is built on top of Gmail. Yes, their interface makes searching/navigating a bit awkward at times, but the ability to co-edit and easily share really makes it a winner.

For docs we use Drive, but also have Dropbox. We have a parent folder shared with the entire company in Drive - honestly, still struggling to figure out the best approach here. GSuite for email is the standard...painless to setup and on-board.

I've been using Google Apps for ages, across multiple organizations (including Google). Pros: VERY reasonably priced, great tools for collaboration. Cons: How/where files are stored/moved can feel like alchemy to many users. But in my mind the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

Pros: Great for price, tons of integrations, great document sharing controls and admin controls. Cons: Uses a proprietary file format for all documents you create with the Gsuite tools (e.g. not docx, xlsx) and "Todo" lists are not supported by most major clients (e.g iOS, Outlook)
