Google Workspace Friend or Foe?
My overall experience with Google Workspace Is a pleasant one. Especially the ease of use to create emails and to bring other team members on task. I also like the access of the Google apps, the Google Store, and the Google Market I feel that those Integrations are smooth
Pros
One of my favorite features about Google workspace was the ability to easily create other emails for other members on your team. You have a lot of control Of the permissions that you assigned to your teammates in addition to the easy integration of other Google applications at your fingertips. Teammates could also create other email accounts for new teammates. The main administrator would not always have to be in the office creating other emails for new team members so this saved a lot of time!
Cons
Whenever I needed to switch between different Administration profiles and different security passwords It was a bit troublesome and it was not that user friendly. In fact it is a bit clunky and I feel that it should be an easier experience. I feel that the double triple security measures that Google uses for passwords between accounts and its users is way over the top. There have been times where I've been asked for my state ID when the password was correct! These kinds of methods slow things down a lot amongst the administrators and staff when we're trying to get projects done. They have to find another way to implement security that does not make the user feel overwhelmed yet it is efficient enough to keep hackers out.

Simplify your work with Google Workspace.
Pros
The best thing about Google Workspace is its simplicity. It allows users to have everything in one place with its easy access to all Google Apps combing collaboration, organization, communication and productivity. The best thing is that it has a version for Education that is offered generously free of charge to institutions.
Cons
I love Google Workspace because it has made my job easier as an education leader. It would be great if the format of the documents in Google Docs remains the same when downloaded as it changes in some instances.

Getting charged for no service
It sucked! Navigation was circular, I spent hours trying to sign a BAA, with no success.
Pros
When it worked, it was easy to access the drive.
Cons
It was discontinued after the trial period, although I am still being charged for the service I don't have. There is no way to contact customer service, so my only recourse is to challenge the charge on my card each time it comes up.

Reliable workhorse products
In all, it's positive; I rely on these tools every day for writing, project management, collaboration and creativity.
Pros
The inbox is relatively intuitive and can be adapted to fit your brand/web domain; it's Gmail with your professional branding. You also get Drive, Meet, Google Docs and a few other apps.
I rely on Google Calendar to stay organized with client meetings, conference calls, appointments, etc. Although I use a Mac, it generally integrates well with my computer and software. The automated tools are helpful; the calendar invite system is fairly easy to use.
Google Docs are better, in my opinion, than the competitor products because they're so intuitive and it's easy to invite collaborators.
Cons
Some of the admin dashboards are less intuitive and hide key account settings. I often have to search 'how do I change X setting in Google Workspace?" because it's not readily apparent in the console.
