The best E-mail service provider available in the market.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service that Gmail is offering. It has replaced outlook & Yahoo mail almost completely.
Pros
We have been using Gmail workplace from G-suite. This is the most native e-mailing software with all features available. It has a great management process onboard with automatic alignment for priority. It includes a great notification system & faster delivery.
Cons
I have no issues with this software. But It sometimes picks the normal email as a spam email. This is a minor issue though.

Google review by a tech employee
My overall experience is positive however they do need to improve their search function
Pros
It loads quickly. It has a clean cut view unlike yahoo
Cons
Storage space is limited. Very difficult to find a specific email. Trying to send an email with attachment from phone causes issues as it never goes.

No other alternatives for our business
We didn't really want to use Gmail but there are very few alternatives for our business. We use Google Workspace for our company so unfortunately we are king of stuck with Gmail rather than choosing it ourselves. This is mainly due to the fact we we already pay for Gmail storage.
Pros
Integrating our customised business email addresses into Gmail is probably the most useful feature Gmail provides.
Cons
From the start of using Gmail for our business email addresses we constantly get a "something is wrong" alert on our accounts. Formatting doesn't work when cut and pasting other fonts or colours, and the general experience of Gmail is, well, clunky, if that's the word. While it offers lots of custom features it is hard to find out how to use them as the support is just a Google Forum, therefore spending far too long trying to find the right answer. Finally the limit to file size attachments is frustrating. As a media company I send large attachments and after surpassing the 25mb limit a link is then provided to the other remailing attachments. I'm then going back and reducing file sizes as it doesn't look professional in my opinion.

Gmail Is Good Overall - Needs Better Search Function
Pros
It's a straightforward, easy-to-use email management system, inside of a well-integrated Google ecosystem (Google Drive, Google Calendar, etc).
Cons
The search function is not as efficient as it could be. I often type in a keyword that I KNOW is in an email, but that email doesn't pop up in the search. Sometimes I have to type in the name of the person I corresponded with, or change the capitalization of the keyword in order for the email to appear.

Reliable and Feature-Rich, But Limited Free Storage
My overall experience with Gmail has been positive. It’s reliable, user-friendly, and packed with features like strong search capabilities, seamless integration with other Google services, and effective spam filtering. However, the limited free storage can be a drawback, requiring careful management or a subscription for more space.
Pros
One of the things I like most about Gmail is its powerful search functionality. For example, if you're trying to find an important email from months ago, you can simply type in a keyword, the sender's name, or even a date range, and Gmail will quickly pull up the relevant emails. This makes it incredibly easy to manage and retrieve information without having to manually sort through hundreds of messages
Cons
What I like least about Gmail is the 15 GB storage limit. Once you hit it, you either have to delete emails and files or pay for more space, which can be frustrating
