A complete ecosystem for Education backed by a committed team of developers

We have relied on Google Workspace for Education for five years. It's easy to use, intuitive, yet powerful and reliable. During the pandemics, and with the heaviest restrictions on this side of the continent, Workspace for Education was the cornerstone of our E-Learning efforts, helping us reach effectively 5,000 students whose education was our responsibility.

PROS

Google Workspace for Education is a complete set of tools that are easy to use, familiar, tightly integrated and with tons of documentation and support available. Schools and students alike benefit from the ubiquity of Google products. This makes for a familiar interface that is intuitive, easy to implement and profusely documented while adding academic specific tools that are invaluable: - Tons of space in Google Drive and Gmail to match the demanding needs of schools - A very complete LMS under Google Classroom with new features added constantly. - Hardware administration for Chromebooks and other resources. - Free for qualified institutions (upgrades are available too with even greater benefits) - Enough safety features to safeguard vaualbe information

CONS

Certain tools need to be polished: - Google Drive is still problematic for copying entire folders. The workaround is to use their Desktop app and make changes from your computer. - Google Classroom still lacks a simple to use Central Administrative Dashboard for different organisations where you can see at a glance reports on schools, courses, teachers and students. A tool like this would be a huge plus.

Essential Tools for K-12 Education

I have and will continue to endorse the use of GOOGLE WORKSPACE in the K12 educational environments. As new features are made available and the product continues to adapt to changing expectations in the K12 marketplace, they will continue to be a leader in producing low priced solutions for schools.

PROS

The ease of use, compatibility with other platforms like MICROSOFT and ADOBE make this suite of tools the go to one stop for all your preK-12 users. The feature set is robust enough for almost all educators and allows students to create, edit, provide feedback, collaborate and share with very little training or backend support.

CONS

As one of the industry leaders in complete software packages for K12, you would expect the suite to have more robust features or at least features similar to the other larger providers. For the price, GOOGLE is the place for all K12 districts but if we are going to continue to supporting the platform it should grow as quickly and as nimbly as our diverse users.

Reasons for switching to Google Workspace for Education

The option to switch was mainly fueled by cost and industry pressure to include GOOGLE WORKSPACE as a software alternative for our students.

First Class Collaboration and Productivity Suite

PROS

Google Workspace for Education makes it easy to manage our fleet of Chromebooks and for our faculty to use Google credentials and services to integrate other educational software and services.

CONS

On several occasions, Google will introduce new features or change where settings are located with minimal notice to users and administrators. This often makes additional work for our IT team, having to update help desk materials and procedures to keep up with changing product options and configurations.

Reasons for switching to Google Workspace for Education

Google was cheaper, easier to administer, and integrated with our existing fleet of Chromebooks.
