Google Workspace or Microsoft 365: Choose the Ideal Platform for Your Business
One of the most important decisions for a company is choosing the right platform for its operations and collaboration. Most businesses typically opt for one of two dominant platforms: Google Workspace or Microsoft Office, each offering its own benefits and drawbacks.
Most IT companies are Microsoft Partners only, and will therefore recommend that platform to their clients.

Google Workspace vs Microsoft 365
Choosing between Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365 depends on your business needs, budget, and preferences. Google Workspace excels in real-time collaboration and simplicity, making it ideal for small to medium-sized businesses. Microsoft Office 365 offers a robust set of tools with strong desktop application integration, making it suitable for larger enterprises or businesses needing advanced features and customizability. Both platforms provide excellent productivity tools, so the best choice will depend on your specific requirements and existing technology ecosystem.
Here are some notable differences between the two platforms:
Comparison Between Google and Microsoft Security Practices
Google and Microsoft take different approaches to rolling out new security features. Google enforces security updates more aggressively, automatically turning on new features that could sometimes disrupt existing systems. Microsoft, contrastingly, tends to offer recommendations for new security features and allows more user control, likely due to its longstanding relationships with large enterprises.
Google’s performance with large files
Google Drive's performance with large files is superior to Microsoft’s OneDrive. This can be a significant advantage for companies in fields like engineering or video editing.
